What parents love
Worth knowing
Best for
- Parents who need a reliable, no-fuss sterilisation method for travel or daytrips
- Those looking for an affordable, hospital-grade steriliser for home use
May not suit
- Families with limited kitchen counter or storage space due to the steriliser's size
- Those very sensitive to chemical smells
Tips from parents
Store the steriliser solution for up to 24 hours to re-use and maximise the value of each batch.
Avoid splashing the sterilising solution, as it can discolour fabrics.
Check prices online, as the steriliser unit and refill packs are often discounted at major retailers.
