Nuby
Baby Milk Powder Dispensers, Pack of 6
6.9/10 overallAround £6.99 for 6
A stackable powder dispenser that pre-portions up to four formula feeds for trips out.
The verdict
Nuby's stackable powder dispensers, around £6.99 for six, pre-portion up to four formula feeds for days out — it doesn't mix or heat anything itself. Best paired with a machine like Perfect Prep or Formula Pro at home, carried in the changing bag for convenience away from the kitchen. Skip it if you need bulk batch-prep — the compartments are small.
This isn't a mixing or heating tool — it's a pre-portioning one, letting you measure out up to four individual feeds of powder into separate compartments before leaving the house, then tip one straight into a bottle with water when needed. It solves a different problem to the two machines: convenience away from the kitchen rather than speed at home.
It pairs naturally with either the Perfect Prep or Formula Pro at home and this dispenser for the changing bag, rather than competing directly with them — most parents who own one of the machines still carry one of these for days out.
