haakaa Hippo Wide Opening Silicone Goody Pouch – Reusable Baby Food Pouches, Reusable Pouches for Toddlers, Wide Opening Silicone Pouch for Yogurt, Purees & Smoothies, 9oz, 2 Pack, 6m+ (Pea Green)

Soft, Squishy Genius with a Slightly Overconfident Cap
I bought these Haakaa Hippo pouches because my toddler has the appetite of a lumberjack but the patience of a mosquito. On our first test run, I filled one up with applesauce, and my kid sat there happily slurping away like a baby hummingbird at a sugar feeder. I was impressed. The silicone is soft, squishy, and feels way nicer than those crinkly disposable pouches that make me feel like I’m singlehandedly filling up a landfill.Now, here’s the funny part. I decided to test its *travel performance* during a road trip. I loaded one pouch with a smoothie thinking I’m a genius mom, packing healthy snacks. Ten minutes later I realized the pouch had developed a slow drip from the straw cap if the pouch is getting squeezed or not up right, which left my backpack smelling like day-old strawberry yogurt. Was it catastrophic? No. Did my husband nickname it “the crime scene bag”? Yes.That said, I will absolutely keep using these at home and on quick outings. The design is super thoughtful. The wide opening makes it easy to shovel in food without turning my kitchen into a Jackson Pollock painting. I love being able to buy a giant tub of applesauce and portion it into these instead of paying triple for those tiny disposable ones. And when I want to share treats like a milkshake, I just scoop some in and voila the toddler gets their portion without me feeling like I’m handing over my entire dessert.Overall, if you’re looking for reusable food pouches that save money, cut waste, and keep your little one happily fed, this is a winner. Just maybe don’t fill it with anything *too* liquidy unless you enjoy surprise laundry adventures.

Great pouches for applesauce
Quality product from a trusted brand. We try to avoid plastic so I love that these are silicone. Less waste since I can fill them from a big jar of organic applesauce and just wash and refill. They also include straws in case you want to fill with thinner things like smoothies, though they are not leak proof like a sippy cup so beware of potential mess. Very durable high quality product. They may seem overpriced but since they’ll last a long time I think they’re still decent value if you can make sure not to leave them at the park. My daughter figured them out immediately both with and without the straw. Good design, easy to fill since the opening is nice and wide. Also wide enough to clean with a bottle brush.

Can a reusable pouch be a lifesaver for snacks on the go?
I’m a parent, so I know the struggle of trying to find a good, reusable pouch for a toddler. I was looking for something that was easy to fill with homemade snacks and wouldn’t create a huge mess. When I saw this hippo pouch, I was immediately drawn to its wide opening and adorable shape. I was hopeful that it would be a game-changer for snack time.The pouches are fantastic. The wide opening makes it so easy to fill them with homemade purees, yogurts, and smoothies without any spills. The leakproof design and firm base are also huge plusses. I can throw them in a diaper bag without worrying about a mess. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is that the silicone material can feel a little flimsy, and the spout can be a bit tricky to clean without a straw brush.Beyond using it for food, I’ve found a couple of great unconventional uses for this pouch. I’ve used it to store watercolor paint for a fun, mess-free painting activity with my toddler. It’s a great way to get creative without a huge cleanup. I’ve also filled it with a cold smoothie to help my toddler cool down after being outside on a hot day.Overall, this is a great product. The wide opening, leakproof design, and versatility make it a must-have for a parent. While it’s not the easiest to clean, it’s a great product that simplifies feeding and is a good value. I would definitely recommend it.
