Moola Saver: Use Avent Nipples on Born Free Bottles
Posted on 12 27, 2007 under Doodads, The Manual by reviewdad | 
In a post last month, I discussed our switch from Avent bottles and sippy cups to BPA-free versions by Born Free. The whole transition was a big expense but for reasons addressed in that post, one we felt was the right thing to do. It turns out that there’s a way to save some coin if you’re buying Born Free out of the gate OR if your transitioning like we did - use Avent nipples. Avent nipples fit the Born Free bottle tops that are universal to the bottles and sippy cup rigs.
We discovered this after I neglected to pick up a baggie that contained ALL of our Born Free nipples from child care the day before a two-week holiday break. Standing at the kitchen counter feeling my wife’s eyes bore into the back of my head for being boneheaded, I thought “hmmm…I wonder…” Sure ’nuff, to my delight and our relief, they fit.
Avent nipples run $3.50-$4.25 for 2. Born Free run $4.75-$6. Not a ton of cash saved but it’s the principle, right?!
