This is an ideal rack for those with plenty of bottles and accessories to wash. It has 2 rotating tiers, and the top level can be adjusted in height. The blue pegs can also be folded flat. And at the top level of the rack are little holes that you can slide straws and nipples through. It also has a small cup with holes where you can place your baby's utensils to dry. These features are most useful when you're trying to fit multiple sizes of bottles/cups/breast pump parts.
You can choose to drain water straight into a nearby sink or choose to collect the water on the base, which is ideal for those who are setting the drying rack up away from the sink.
For less than $20, this is inexpensive for something that accommodates the most number of bottles and accessories compared to most drying racks on the market.
The lower tier doesn’t turn as well as top tier. This is because the lower tier is restricted by the base and is weighed down by the items set on it to dry.
Its open-concept design means you can use it to dry a wide range of baby gear - bottles, utensils, sippy cups and breast pump parts. The blades of grass will part and hold them all in place. Even the most unusual bottle shapes will fit and be able to effectively dry.
The drying rack is made up of only 2 pieces: the grass mat that holds your bottles and the tray that catches the water. You can easily clean these pieces with warm soapy water.
The blades are made of hard plastic. The grass is stiff that there is no give to grip items on it. Although it works as a drying rack, you have to press hard to get things to stick down on the grass.
The OxoTot is small and easily fits into diaper bags. After use, it folds in half and the flexible tines and bottle brush fit inside nicely. It makes cleaning and reusing bottles, cups, and spoons on trips hassle-free.
The flexible tines lift the bottles to allow for ventilation. And the rib pattern provides ample space for drying. These 2
work hand in hand to properly dry the bottles and preventing mold build-up which usually happens when they don't air dry.
The OxoTot comes with a silicone detail cleaner and a bottle brush head that assembles to form a full-sized bottle brush. This means you have a cleaner exclusively for your bottles, preventing bacteria from getting into your baby's things when using sponges for kitchen use.
There are no drain holes for the water to pass through. All the water gets collected inside the rack. To prevent mold build-up, you'd have to rinse it and wipe it dry after every use.
