Best of Baby Winner for Best Baby Sterilizer

And the Winner Is: Tommee Tippee Ultra UV 3-in-1 Sterilizer, Dryer and Storage

Keeping baby safe and healthy is a top priority for all parents. A sterilizer can help ease that new parent anxiety by eliminating 99.9 percent of bacteria and germs from baby bottles, pacifiers and teethers. It’s not necessary for most babies, but we can’t deny the peace of mind it gives. Most sterilizers use steam heat to clean, but the Tommee Tippee Ultra UV Sterilizer uses UV light to eliminate germs by breaking them down on a molecular level—it also filters dust, pollen and airborne pollutants. Adjustable shelves accommodate most bottles and pump parts so all of baby’s essentials can be germ-free. If you keep the door shut after a cycle, the contents of the sterilizer will remain sterile for up to 24 hours. Pro tip: Pop baby’s pacifiers, nipples and bottles in at the end of the day and wake up to clean, ready-to-use essentials.
