Rating: - DESIGN FLAW THEY LEAK.
At first we loved these bottles (not many parts, easy to read) then we noticed that they have a tendency to leak milk by the seam. We contacted Philips and they said you must wet the seal completely to prevent leaking we tried that and they still leaked about 1/3 of the time. So we went out and bought Dr Browns and are giving the Avent away. The Dr. Browns are made in the USA and have more parts but our baby seems to like them better, less fussy and less drool while eating.

Rating: - Great bottles for the price
I purchased these bottles for my older baby who drinks more than 9 oz at night. These work well for us because we don't have to refill them as often and the nipples work on his trainer sippy cups from avent.

When left to lay on it's side for a few moments these bottles leak a little bit of milk from the ring.

Rating: - New Avent Bottles with No BPA
I believe the new BPA-free Advent bottles are coming out this month - the 9oz first, then the larger size in October. Don't think Amazon is shipping these yet (or they are backordered already...), and not certain how you specify you want the BPA=free version. (if there is already a comment on this forgive any redundancy xo)...

Rating: - Better BPA free alternatives available
From a functional standpoint, I have no complaints. The bottles never leaked on us and they're easy to clean because the openings are wide. However, I changed all our Avent bottles to non-BPA alternatives about a month ago. (BPA is a chemical that is used to make some clear plastic bottles that could be potentially harmful to your child. Although the FDA is still conducting research on this issue, my opinion is why take a chance on something that can be easily corrected. As parents, we have so many other things to worry about.) I blame myself for not doing more research prior to purchasing these. I was at Target the other day and saw a few AVENT sippy cups that were specifically advertised as BPA free. This annoyed me greatly. Does this indirectly imply that AVENT knows that BPA could be harmful, but continues to sell BPA products? AVENT has definitely violated my trust. I will not be spending any more money on AVENT products.
