These cubes do the trick, but I wouldn’t trust them to keep the food fresh in the freezer for too long. They certainly don’t seen to be airtight, and the lids do frequently pop off. They don’t close securely, and they do leak if tipped over. The cube plastic is flimsy and when I sent one to daycare with food in it, they thought it was disposable and threw it away. The idea is great, but the product isn’t up to par. It seems as though the lids will easily break from the containers. I gave this product 3 stars because there isn’t another product like it that I can find, and the little containers are convenient. I wish Rubbermaid or Tupperware made small enough containers for storing because their covers are tight fitting and plastic is more durable.

I bought these but can’t see the benefit of putting food in these tiny containers that tip over, are quite hard to store in the freezer, not good for microwaving to defrost, and then you have to wash them individually.
I gave up and use ice cube trays- so much easier to put the baby mush in (spray with Pam 1st for easy dispensing), pop out and store in Freezer Ziplocs, defrost as needed.

These cubes are quite handy. When my son was first eating solids, I was making my own purees and using these, they are a little larger than a 6 month old’s feeding size, but came in very handy once he started eating larger portions. I use these for his school lunches (he’s 14 months now) and they are easy to wash, and the lid is connected so you don’t have to worry about it getting lost.
Tip: for earlier ages, using an ice cube tray for baby purees was more beneficial for me. The feeding size of the cubes were perfert.

I make all my own baby food, so I needed a food storage system that worked for us – and these are perfect! The 2 oz size is perfect for us right now (my son is 9 months old), but if he’s still hungry, it’s easy to just grab another one! We have several set of these, and they do stack nicely on top of each other for convenient storage. The cubes “lock” into place in their tray – but that makes it easy to carry them to the freezer – it’s not designed to hold them in place upside down! The cubes themselves have securely closing lids – but if you fill them past the max line, they do sometimes pop open in the freezer (I just used those first, before they can get freezer burn!). They are not very good for travel, though, as the lids can come open fairly easily in a bag – but it’s very easy to pop the food out of the cube and put it in a sealed bowl for later! They are also microwave and dishwasher safe, but I don’t microwave mine, and I only hand wash them – I want to use them again and again for future kids, so I want them to last as long as possible! I absolutely love these, and I think they’re a must for anyone who wants to make homemade baby food. They’re the cheapest and best product on the market for freezer storage!

I love this product! They are easy to clean, can be steam serilized in the microwave (not all baby bowls/dishes can go into the microwave), and the food can be thawed/reheated in the microwave.
As another reviewer mentioned, I did have one that popped open when I put it in the freezer, but that was because I filled it too full. Just fill it to the max line and you will be fine. I also like that these cubes (when filled properly) don’t leave the food freezer burned. I’m not sure if that’s a problem with the ice cube trays, but that was one of the reasons why I wanted to try these. And I haven’t been disappointed!
This two ounce size is great for my twins. I also love that there is a measuring line on them so I can divide the food evenly between the twins to make sure both are getting their fair share! I believe there are also smaller 1oz cubes you can buy, but the 2oz size seems to be the perfect amount after your baby has been introduced to solids and starts wanting more than just a taste of food. For me, I pull out 2 or 3 of the 2oz cubes and can easily get the twins meals ready in just a few minutes.
Instead of writing on these with a dry erase marker, I just put a small round sticker on the front of the tray with the food and date, and it works great for me. The trays allow me to stay organized so it’s easy to know how much of a particular kind of food is left… so I know when to make more!
I originally only bought 2 trays to test them out and see how they worked. I loved them so much that I’ve ordered another 2 trays and may be back for more!
