    Getting out of the house with your little one is a part of everyday life - whether you're going to play in the park, away on holiday, visiting family members, or popping to the shops - but we know it's not always straight forward.

    Bottle feeding on-the-go needn't be stressful thanks to our travel sterilizing range. Practical and portable, these products make sure that your baby's bottles are germ-free and ready to go, and that their tummy stays protected from germs when you're away from home.

    Micro-Steam Microwave Sterilizer

    Ideal if you're taking a trip away, our compact Micro-Steam Sterilizer uses natural steam to thoroughly clean every surface, so there's no need for chemicals. Just pop it in a microwave and job done.

    Travel Sterilizer Bags

    A quick and convenient way to sterilize breast pumps, soothers or baby bottles and teats on the go, each one of these zip-lock bags can be re-used up to 30 times. Simply add water, then microwave for 90 seconds to get rid of any harmful bacteria.

    Sterilizing Tablets

    These are another practical option when it comes to sterilizing on-the-go as they can be used with cold water. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and be sure to leave all feeding equipment in the solution for at least 30 minutes before rinsing and drying.

    • Can I use the water abroad to sterilize bottles?

      Always check to see if drinking the local water is recommended first. If it is allowed, then be sure to boil it first and don't use previously boiled water.

    • How long does a sterilized bottle stay sterilized?

      After sterilization, bottles will stay sterile for 24 hours when stored properly. Remember to put the teats and lids on the bottle straightaway, and wash and dry your hands before handling sterilized equipment.
