Bambini BearReusable Popsicle Molds Ice Pop Molds Maker Baby Kid Infant W/Drip Catcher Healthy Fruit Snack Food Grade Silicone BPA FREE by Bambini Bear - Carrot Orange

I have a very picky three year old. She refuses to eat most fruits and vegetables. In an attempt to add them to her diet, I thought I'd make them into delicious smoothies. That failed miserably, but then I thought I should make the smoothies into popsicles. I haven't found the magic combination of what she will eat yet, but these silicone popsicle molds are fantastic!When I went on the hunt for my popsicle molds, I didn't want any of the cheap plastic ones that we've had in the past. You know, the ones that you can never get the frozen popsicle out of? Or the ones with all the tiny pieces that get lost? So I wanted silicone. I wanted the whole thing to be silicone. And this is it. Now, I was so excited when my package came because I wanted to try them out. I opened the box. I pulled the green carrot tops off, and one of the sticks was missing! Noooo! I was sooo disappointed. There was a card attached to the packaging stating that this had been checked by hand blah, blah, blah. I scoffed, upset and annoyed. But there was also a customer service email address. So I sent an email with a picture attached and this was later in the evening after my kids were in bed. And I got a reply within a few minutes!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. They were shocked. They'd never heard of that happening before. They're sending me a replacement set, free of charge. And I get to keep the set I have. I was like, it's a miracle. Companies still exist that care about their customers on a personal level.So, when I went to fill up the molds to make some popsicles to see how they work, I realized that the sticks aren't removable from the green carrot top. They're not completely one piece, but to get the stick part out, you would have to break the green top. Which makes me very hopeful for longevity. It also made me realize why the company was intrigued about the stick that was missing from the green top. Anyway, they stand up nicely in the freezer. They froze solidly overnight. And all I had to do was push them up from the bottom of each popsicle to get one to slide out. It was so nice not to have to fight to get the popsicle out of the mold. Even though these are a little more money than I really wanted to spend on popsicle makers, they're definitely worth it.

Really great product but I think it's more appropriate for older toddlers. It didn't really work well for us. My daughter is almost 2 and although she has a strong pincer grasp from self-feeding since 6 months old, she didn't get the hang of holding her popsicle by the green handle. She kept grabbing the whole popsicle and holding it in her hand and of course it's frozen so when it became unbearable to hold, she didn't want to hold it anymore, but still wanted to eat and then that led to meltdowns.

These are very cute and the perfect size for my grandsons. Made many delicious peach and blueberries popsicles. My stainless steel larger popsicle molds are easy to get out by putting them in a bowl of water briefly. These take forever and I’ve tried everything.

Made fruit/ veggie pops for my >16 month old. She was easily able to hold the pops with no assistance from myself. While the design of the Popsicle stick with the leaves does help with catching some of the melt, it does not completely eradicate this. So messes will occur, especially if the Popsicle isn't eaten at a faster rate. I will also say I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of frozen goodness it makes, as I did doubt that it would make a filling portion size. Also, no weird smells or discoloration so far a month after purchase.

These are really great. Easy to use and easy to keep clean. My only complaints are pretty minor. First, the taper kind of eases off at the top (near the greens) which I think probably makes it a little cuter, but also makes the finished popsicles a little bit more difficult to remove. Secondly (and this one I knew before buying), 3 oz is a big popsicle. Way to big for my 4 year old to finish before either she gets bored or it melts. I decided to go with these anyway though because it's really hard to find small popsicle molds with high ratings. If bambini bear made a mold in an under 2 oz size I'd definitely buy them and retire these to making liquor-sicles for mommy

These aren't my favorite, because the popsicles get stuck. It's hard to pull the stick up and out without the popsicle sliding off. I could try adding some oil, but I shouldn't have to. Overall, yeah, they make popsicles- but it's not great that you have to fight to get them out. The other issue is that silicone traps smells.

These are much larger than I expected. I can make rocket pops with fruit and juice blends (layering the fruit to make cool designs. It's silly, but it helps keep things interesting and new for the kids. The size and shape makes this task much easier than other molds I've used. If you've tried other molds, then you know how fragile the little handle inserts can be too. Not the case here. They fit incredibly well together and there is plenty of room to add fresh chopped fruit or whatever else you want. The shape of the handles makes it easy for little hands to hold. Much easier than a traditional popsicle stick. Love them and the kiddos love them too! Win win all around!

My kiddo picked these out and now we have so much fun making our own popsicles! He loves his “carrot popsicles” and I love that o can control the ingredients. Easy to use and cleans well, and the little wells on the handles hold the drips (until it spills sideways of course). Very happy with this purchase!
