Playtex Air Vent Bottles

What's up with them? The bottoms are screwed on tightly yet I've had them leak from the bottom.

Anyone else experience this?

Yep, we bought the new ones a few weeks ago and they seem a bit better than the ones we originally had, but do still notice them leaking sometimes. We try to turn it over and rescrew the bottom on but that can be hard with the fast flow nipples as it just spills out the top. Which ones do you have? We used to have the ones with the flat circle that you had to push into the bottom, etc. that was a pain in the ass. Now the ones we have the bottom piece just drops in, much easier, and less mess than the old ones

Driving me mad! I figured I'd try them as you use them. I ended up liking the first two I bought and bought more. Now I find I get leakage.

We have the same ones, we had the original ones which were blue, purple, and green and leaked horribly. We bought some others and they are a pastel yellow and blue that don't leak as badly. The first set the thing we had to put in the bottom looked like a big coin thing that you really had to press in to make sure it wouldn't leak. These have some raised thing with a hole in the center, don't know how to describe it, but they don't leak as badly

Maybe I'll put a complaint in to playtex and see what I can get for free. LOL

But it's frustrating when making bottles up and the formula is coming out the bottom - and a horrible waste of money.

I found with the old ones, with the coin type thingy, that if I turned it over after the water was in and unscrewed and rescrewed the bottom it helped for whatever reason

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks Vickie!
