As a mom on the go every day consists of running errands, carpools and everything else you can imagine. One thing I could always use a hand on is making my bottles while out and about. Trying to measure and scoop formula while filling the bottle with water while making sure your child’s hunger screams are not deafening anyone, can be a little hectic to say the least. Now Playtex has answered mother’s prayers and came up with the SmartPrep Formula Dispenser. This lightweight, portable formula holder is just what mothers everywhere have been looking for.
Some mothers carry a cooler bag with ice pack to hold two pre-made bottles for your little one. Since you only have two premade bottles, you will also need to take the huge tub of formula with you if you plan on being gone longer than a few hours. Not only is it bulky and somewhat heavier than imagined, it takes up way too much room in the diaper bag. Between the bottle bag and formula tub, you will be lucky if there is even any room for diapers. If you don’t have the bottle bag in the diaper bag then you could be toting around a diaper bag, purse and this bottle bag. This all sounds like way too much for one mom especially if your child is on the other arm.
Now though, with the SmartPrep Formula Dispenser, you can ditch the bottle bag and just take empty bottles with you. All of this weighs much less than the ice pack/pre-made bottle combo and takes some weight off of your shoulders and back.
Playtex was founded in 1947 to produce and sell latex. They eventually incorporated undergarments, baby products and expanded their selections of latex gloves. By 2000 baby products made up 38% of the company’s revenue. Most moms have at least a couple of Playtex baby products and you will be glad to add this to your collection of useful items.
The Portable Formula Dispenser has a flip cap that can be used with one hand for precise pouring. It holds enough formula for 4 8oz bottles. Although it is plastic, it is BPA free which is always nice to hear about baby products. The clear plastic lets you see through to show you how much formula you have left and in which compartment so that you aren’t left guessing while in a hurry to try and feed your little one. Other brands may hold enough formula for one or two but then what happens? If you go camping or on an overnight trip this helps to ensure that you have plenty (and often some left over) of formula so that your baby gets exactly what he or she needs.
For a great product that won’t put a large dent in your wallet, this is a must have for moms everywhere.

I wish this product was around when Sara was little. I hated having to carry around a big can of formula in a diaper bag that was already too full and very heavy. A truly innovative product! Thank you for the review 🙂
