Polliwogged: When we broke our Coddletime bottle, we noticed a couple of interesting things. The first was that the designs of the bottle and silicone sleeve, which both feature prominent curves, resulted in a significant lipped area at the top and base of the bottle that served to hold pieces of broken glass in, loosely, like a sort of silicone sack. We wouldn’t leave a baby alone with it, but it clearly posed less of a risk than, say, a broken drinking glass would. The second was something we hadn’t realized about borosilicate glass until we started researching it for this piece - it breaks in big chunks, rather than shattering into small slivers like standard glass often does. There were no small shards produced by the bottle’s complete annihilation, which means a broken bottle is less likely to leave tiny shards of glass on the floor for your baby to cut herself on, less likely to shoot a tiny shard of glass into someone’s eye, less likely to do any of the dramatic thing that make many parents assume glass and babies are best kept far away from each other. | Full review
