Playtex Ventaire Baby Bottles Review Summary

With a unique bent design, Playtex VentAire Baby Bottles, have a vent in the bottom that sucks the air out as baby sucks. One reviewer, stated, “I enjoy them because they don’t seem to give the children digestion issues, gas or too much burping.” The VentAire Baby Bottles have an angled neck which makes the bottles easier to grip for both the parent and baby. The nipples for the Ventaire Baby Bottles only come in two stages which many reviewers commented that “stage 1 is good, but stage 2 is too big, there needs to be something in between.” Playtex Ventaire Bottles come with additional parts (rings), so be prepared to clean them all, especially the little crevices of the air vents. You will also need to make sure that the bottles are constructed properly to prevent leaks. Want to keep looking for more options on baby bottles?

I received one of the Playtex Ventaire Wides from my OB during one of my pre-natal visits and when I had to begin supplementing breastfeeding with the bottle decided to give it a shot.  We soon ended up buying more.

They come in two styles - regular and wide. They also have 6 oz and 9 oz sizes. ...

I was surprised to read all the positive reviews as I did not find these to be that great. There are several parts to clean and put together and I am sure once you get used to that it wouldn't be a big deal. I didn't like putting the disc in the bottom, I always had to run my finger nail around the...

I have had trouble with these bottles leaking.  At first, I thought that maybe I had bought a damaged one.  Therefore, I went to the store and purchased more bottles, but they still ended up leaking.  I would definitely consider another brand next time.

Would not recommend this bottle. No matter what I did it leaked. I know it was put back together right and still it leaked.

I love the Ventaire system as far as
  • knowing your bottles are clean (they come apart completely so you can clean each piece)
  • keeping the gas out of your baby
  • easy to hold
  • good quality and durability (I've had mine for a year now and they are still going strong - including my dishwasher washed nipples/bottom seals!)
My only complaint is that these bottles have SIX PIECES.  This is a double edged sword because I always know my bottles are clean, but cleaning them and putting them back together is kind of a pain in the butt.  You deal with:
  • Cap
  • Nipple
  • Nipple ring/attachment
  • Bottle
  • Bottom seal
  • Bottom

When I was no longer able to breastfeed, I had to find a feeding system that worked almost as well, and that didn't give my baby added gas.  I knew that finding a low-cost bottle that I could be sure wouldn't upset my baby's tummy would be hard to find, but then I came across the Playtex Ventaire system.  Like the more expensive Dr. Brown's bottles, the Ventaire keeps air and bubbles from going into baby's tummy.  Unlike Dr. Browns, the Ventaire doesn't cost a ton, and you don't need a teeny-tiny bottle brush to clean the tube after every feeding!  The unique shape of the bottle, coupled with... review »

I really like the design of these bottles. The angle makes it easy to hold. The one thing I noticed that makes it somewhat difficult is that sometimes it's hard to get liquid out of the bottles. I also think it's tiresome that there are so many parts to the bottle. The fact that air leaves the bottle before the baby can suck it in are a great benefit as it causes less gas and air in the baby's tummy. I was really bummed out that when I bought all my bottles they still had the bpa in them and then not even a couple weeks later they released all the bottles that are bpa free and I already spent...

My son is 7. When he was born I bought these bottles for less gas. They were awesome. I would not have recommended anything else to anyone. So when my twins were born a little over a year ago, there was no other bottle for me but them. Again, they were the best. They used them from the time they were born until they turned a year old.

Cleaning can be a pain, but if you have a dishwasher, its no big deal. I never had a problem with them leaking. Usually when they start leaking the bottom vent needs to be changed. You can call Playtex's 1-800 number easily found from their website and they will...

The bottles overall are great. I have used them with both of my children. I have only bought new nipples and the bottome pieces for my second child. They are great in preventing air bubbles in the milk. My only issue with them is that they need a stage in between nipple one and two. Number two is a lot bigger and caused both of my children to choke and spit up. If the nipples colapse during use the chances of the bottom being stuck is good. You must stretch the bottom rubber piece before putting it into the bottom of the bottle. If you look at the bottle you will know what I am talking about.

The playtex air vent bottles are the greatest bottles. They are angled, they have the silicon nipples that come in stages, slow flow and faster flow. They have the screw off bottom with the air vent that allows air to flow through so that the bottle has less air bubbles which means less gas for baby. My babyies had no problems holding this bottle and I never had any problems with the nipples colapsing.  They do not leak (unless baby learns to squeeze the nipple, which is when it is time to take the bottle away !).  When my baby was 3 months old he would stop breathing because he had acid reflux. ...

These are the best thing I have found for my babies.  They are great at preventing bubbles and the speed of the stage one nipple is perfect for newborns to a few months.  These are the only bottles that I buy.  They also come in several sizes, which is nice.  The cons are that there are more pieces to clean and lose.  You can buy replacement parts though.  The other problem is that the Stage two nipple does not work as well.  The speed is just wrong.  Also, you can have big accidents if you don't check to make sure that the bottom is screwed on securely,  I also like the nipples because... review »

I am extremely disappointed with the Playtex Ventaire Advanced bottles.

We used the Playtex Ventaire bottles for our first child and they worked out well - the number of parts you have to clean is a bit annoying but overall they were good.  When we had our second child, we bought the Playtex Ventaire Advanced bottles - and I have been EXTREMELY disappointed. 

  • They leak, and
  • The numbers indicating the ounces on the outside of the bottle have come completely off - so we had to use a measuring cup to determine how many ounces we put in each bottle. NOT ACCEPTABLE! 

We have even been getting...

The Playtex Ventaire Nurser bottles were the perfect way to switch back and forth between nursing my son and bottle feeding him.  He needed to be supplemented with formula early on, and not once did I have trouble with him not accepting the Nurser nipple or mine.  The nipple made it even easier for me to return to work, because he didn't mind drinking pumped milk from the bottle.

I chose the Ventaire because I disliked the waste that comes with drop-in liners for other nurser bottles.  I also liked the vent system because he was able to take his time, and not stop to let air into the bottle. ...

They come in two styles - regular and wide. They also have 6 oz and 9 oz sizes.  I found these sizes to be much more versatile than the 4 and 8 ounce size bottles I usually find.  I was able to use the 6 ounce bottles for months longer than a 4 ounce bottle.  Being able to use them longer made them worth any extra cost. The nipples come in slow and fast flow.  An in-between would be nice, though we didn't have too much trouble going from the slow to fast flow nipples - I'd say in less than a week my nephew had completely gotten the hang of the faster flow.The entire bottle comes apart for thorough...

These are the best bottles i ever used and wouldnt ever switch or try anything else.Easy to use and clean which saves me time and money.Less air bubbles for baby which is the most important thing to most parents.You can put these in the dish washer.The vents along with the bottles and nipples are replaceable.The bottles come in different sizes and shapes along with the nipples(i.e wide or regular).The flows are slow and fast depending on the stage you want.You can use the smaller 4oz ones for newborns and then the larger ones as they get older.I would recommend these to anyone especially a new... review »
