Parents have hailed a “genius” baby bottle the biggest “time-saving hack” they have come across, because it allows you to transport messy foods such as porridge and smoothies for your baby or toddler.
The Subo Bottle, sold on Amazon for just $28.95, is a clever suction-based, non-squeezable food bottle that kids can use easily, without getting food all over themselves.
It has been cleverly designed by Melbourne parents Glen and Julie-Anne Mayer for foods such as porridge, yoghurt, smoothies and Weet-Bix.

You could also put pureed fruit and vegetables in there, so kids can eat and drink in the car, in their pram or on the go – without getting mess everywhere.
On Amazon, the Subo Bottle is available in two colours, pink and blue, and it has a series of rave reviews from shoppers.
“This is the best baby item,” one shopper wrote.
“Using this for my 14 month old for yoghurt and smoothies. Such a good item, would be great as a gift.”
Another added: “GAME CHANGER! NO MORE POUCHES!”
While a third said: “My son loves his Subo! We use it everyday, and sometimes twice a day! I now need to get a backup”.
The Subo bottle was developed in 2012 by Aussie parents Glen and Julie-Ann, who were looking for a solution to messy mealtimes with their three kids.
In 2018, they scored a $120,000 deal on Shark Tank, where the Sharks were hugely impressed with the clever idea.
The Subo Bottle is quick and easy to fill with nutritious home cooked and pureed food, or yoghurt, cereals and even spaghetti.
The key to it working is a one-way air valve at the bottom of the bottle, which allows air into the tube to push the platform up.
As your child sips the soft silicone (BPA-free) spout, the food rises up the bottle, one perfect-sized mouthful at a time.
Parents especially love the fact the bottle allows toddlers to feed themselves, as you don’t need to squish it to get the food out.
