The Kidco Baby Food Mill is a low-tech, no-plug, no-battery way to make homemade baby food while traveling. This is especially a plus when traveling with babies.
Here is a review of the Kidco Baby Food Mill, which is a great option for making baby food while on the go.
Pros of the Kidco Baby Food Mill
- It's light and extremely portable
- It doesn't need batteries or plugs, making it possible to make baby food almost anywhere. It's just nice to have the ability to grind homemade baby food anywhere, whether you want to stop and picnic during a roadtrip or go camping with your baby. Hotel plugs can be be scarce as well.
- It's perfect for traveling where it's hard to find baby food jars. This can be the case on cruise ships, which rarely stock baby food. It's also useful in big cities, which sometimes have small or no baby aisles in small city grocery stores. In foreign countries, you might feel uncomfortable buying a baby food jar with ingredients you can't read.
- It makes it possible to make baby foods you don't typically make, particularly if you have access to a stove or hot water pot. It's a great way to be sure your baby will get healthy food while traveling.
Cons of the Kidco Baby Food Mill
- It can definitely be messy, so lay out paper towels below the grinder before you make baby food.
- If you make baby food frequently or have even mild carpal tunnel syndrome, it can be tiring on your wrist and hands. The food is made manually by holding the base in one hand firmly, and cranking the level around and around.
- There are some small parts to keep track of, so be sure to pack it all together in one large ziplock bag. Better yet, get the version that comes with its own carrying case. If you lose one of the small parts, the Kidco Baby Food Mill will be useless.
- The baby food mill only grinds small amount of food (about one serving for a 6-month old baby at a time). For travel, this is just fine as you can't really preserve homemade baby food easily anyway. For homebased baby food making, frequently making baby food, or for making large batches of food, a traditional blender is probably better. For most travel situations, this is not an issue.
- Many traditional baby foods (like apples and green beans) need to be cooked first, so if you cannot cook at your travel destination you will need to stick with soft items like bananas and avocados.
