Evenflo Vented + Glass Review

Evenflo first launched as a manufacturer of baby-feeding products in the 1920s and has since significantly grown. Today, they provide a wide range of baby essentials, including car seats, strollers, and more, so you're ready for every stage of the parenting journey.

Performance Comparison

Likes

Our favorite part of this Evenflo bottle is its glass body, a healthier material that brings peace of mind while feeding your baby. It is easy to clean and will not retain any odors or discolor. The nipple has a single vent that works well to funnel air into the bottle, relieving the pressure that could cause nipple collapse and allowing milk to flow freely from the nipple opening. Some parents also find that the funky twisted shape of the body makes it easier to keep a firm grip.

It is a breeze to clean with three parts, although you will need a bottle brush to fit in the narrow opening. We did not experience any leaks from this bottle, but the nipple cover fits on tightly with a satisfying snap to let you know it's secure. If there are any leaks, we feel confident they won't make it past the cap.

Compared to others, the Vented + Glass price per bottle is one of the most inexpensive. This price break is potentially the most attractive thing about this bottle for the budget-minded parent, possibly making up for the increased chance of breakage.

Dislikes

Even though we like the material, it is only tempered glass, which is weaker than the borosilicate type found in the other glass bottles we reviewed. So, while it is stronger than your average water glass, it is still more prone to breakage than other glass bottles and should be handled with care. There is also no sleeve for this bottle (even as an accessory), removing any opportunity for extra protection. The silicone and plastic components reflect the price, and users report that it does not take long for them to discolor or warp. However, replacement parts are readily available and not very expensive.

The nipple on the Evenflo has a narrow mound, which our tiny tester didn't mind but is something to consider for breastfed babies. It is not as breast-like as a bottle with a wide nipple mound, and some babies may struggle with the shape. The narrow mouth opening also means that a bottle brush is necessary and transferring liquids could be tricky.

The nipple cover is extra tight, which is useful when you want to catch leaks, but it is so tight that you may end up unscrewing the nipple by accident, so you need to double-check before feeding to avoid any spills. Last, the volume markings are raised glass numbers on the bottle's exterior, which can be challenging to read, especially in low light.

Should You Buy the Evenflo Vented + Glass?

Compared to other top-ranked baby bottles, the Evenflo Vented + Glass checks all the necessary boxes without adding complicated features. We appreciate that an affordable glass bottle is available for parents who want to prioritize health and environmental decisions but would also like to stay on budget. Although it is more fragile, we think this can be a great bottle that could last for years with a little extra caution.
