Amazon.com Product Description
A smart way to feed your precious one, this twin pack of BornFree 9-ounce wide-neck bottles is free of the potentially harmful chemical Bisphenol-A. Now you can feed your baby safely, comfortably, and worry free. BornFree is made of Polyamide, a special plastic that is Bisphenol-A free and more resistant to detergents. This bottle also features a revolutionary venting system, which helps reduce colic symptoms and the risk of middle ear infections. The unique inner valve prevents side leaks and allows you shake freely when mixing. Additionally, each bottle comes with a soft, gentle stage-one nipple that prevents hard suckling and does not collapse. This two-pack is dishwasher safe (top rack) and comes with a high-grade stage-one nipple and travel cover. What's in the Box
2 bottles, 2 stage-one nipples, and travel cover.

 Bottles are fine once you get used to all the parts July 13, 2008
We bought the Born Free bottles because they were the only wide nipple, BPA FREE bottles available at the time. Our son ajusted well to the new nipples (he had been using Avent nipples for about 8 months). In fact, he seemed to like them better. The bottle itself isn't too bad if you are just putting breast milk in it, but you have to be careful if you are mixing formula in the bottle. There is a slit in the air vent that gets blocked every so often even when you mix the formula side to side. Once the vent is blocked no air is allowed in the bottle and it interupts drinking which is very annoying--especially when you are trying to get your baby to sleep!
 Might be for you, but not worth it for me July 10, 2008
My wife wanted these because they're supposed to be the safest. They're also expensive. The twin pack I saw in the store came with two vents (one for each bottle) but curiously the 3-pack came with only 1 vent. But you can't use the bottle without the vent. The vent sticks up a quarter inch above the rim of the bottle, so if you screw the nipple on without the vent it will leak.
We were used to the Evenflo nipples with the integrated "vent" (two air-holes) so I forgot that if you took the BornFree vent out that it would also create a vacuum inside the bottle when baby sucks.
Pros: BPA-free (and free of basically any other known contaminants as well), special vent
Cons: pricey, special vent requires extra effort every time you make a bottle or clean the bottle
Born Free also offers a glass version. If you want glass, it might be a good vented, wide-neck alternative to the Evenflo glass bottles.
Also, I have read that Dr Brown's wide neck vent system can fit on Born Free Bottles. So if you're a fan of Dr Brown's (who makes a standard neck glass bottle) but you want a wide neck bottle, then Born Free Glass might be for you.
I would recommend these only if your baby needs a wide neck bottle/nipple and needs the special anti-colic vent. Why would they need these? The wide bottles are supposed to help breast-fed babies transition to bottles because the shape is more natural. The venting system, well, if your baby has colic you probably know it.
Great Baby Bottle July 8, 2008
i have been using this baby bottle for 9 months now. i loved it. i think it's easier to clean than dr. brown. I had nipple collapse problem for a few times, and i found out you just need to make sure the opening on that silicon vent to open to prevent nipple collapse. (it seals itself sometimes).
I would rate it as 5 star, if not for the price of the nipples. i think they charge way too much for nipples, and they are just standard silicon nipples, nothing special. i have been using dr. brown's nipple on these born free bottles without problem. they are much cheaper, and better quality.
their glass bottles are great too. i would stay away from their training/drinking cups if possible. it leaks!
 Feeding is a breeze... July 7, 2008
My daughter had jaundice when she was born, so our ped recommended supplementing...so we did, using these bottles and we haven't looked back. She's primarily on formula now and hasn't had an issue going from breast to bottle and back (maybe it's just her! - lucky me). I recently had an issue with the nipples collapsing, but just figured she was ready for the next size nipple, we tried size 2 and it worked like a charm. Since day one, she's never spit up much and has one good burp after eating and is happy right away. So, I love these bottles, yes they are on the expensive side, but they're easy to clean and since my daughter loves them, I do too :)
 Unsanitary yet BPA free... July 6, 2008
I just bought one of these and threw out all of my Soothie's and Playtex bottles because of the whole BPA thing. My son is 13 months, I breastfed for 7 then started supplementing. Now we're here, budget wise I bought one.
Here's the deal, the nipple is super soft, no it didn't cause problems with him getting the milk out, I even gave him pediasure and he drank all eight ounces from this bottle, however after he drank the strawberry pediasure I tried to wash it. I soaked it, boiled it, re-washed it and boiled it again, I could not get the strawberry smell out of it, so I don't know how sanitary that makes it. Obviously the glass bottle was fine, even the white piece, but the super soft nipple wreaks of strawberry after one sitting with pediasure. I am not so impressed, but I don't know what other options there really are, especially since it isn't the bottle itself, just the nipple that is the problem.
