Playtex BPA Free Premium Nurser Bottles with Drop in Liners, Review
Our verdict
The Playtex Premium Nurser with Drop-In Liners takes a different approach to reducing air intake: disposable pre-sterilized liners collapse as your baby feeds, minimizing the air gap inside the bottle from start to finish. At $23.99 for a 3-pack with liners included, the upfront cost is manageable, though ongoing liner purchases are a consideration.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other baby gear and nursery essentials we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Playtex Premium Nurser works differently from most anti-colic bottles. Instead of a vent or valve, it uses a soft pre-sterilized liner that collapses inward as the baby feeds. This collapsing action keeps formula or breastmilk at the nipple tip and removes the air pocket that normally builds up as a conventional bottle empties, which is the mechanical cause of much of the air ingestion associated with colic and gas.
The 118 milliliter (roughly 4 oz) capacity listed in specs is on the smaller side, well suited to newborn feeding volumes. The bottle comes as a 3-count BPA-free kit, and the weight of around 1 pound total for the set reflects the inclusion of the bottle bodies, rings, and starter liners. The newborn age range in the specs aligns with the smaller capacity.
With 4.4 stars across 867 reviews, the Nurser earns strong marks relative to its review volume. Buyers appreciate the disposable liner system for travel and nighttime feeds when thorough mid-night washing is not practical, though the recurring liner cost is a factor to weigh against the convenience benefit.
Pros
- Collapsing liner system removes the air gap as the bottle empties, supporting anti-colic feeding
- Pre-sterilized liners are practical for travel and middle-of-the-night feeds

- BPA-free bottle bodies with a trusted brand behind them
Cons

- More environmental waste than a reusable all-in-one bottle system
- Loading and sealing liners adds a step to the feeding prep routine

Performance notes
Owner accounts suggest the liner system works best when the liner is fully unfolded before filling and the collar ring is tightened evenly to avoid leaks at the seal. Cleaning the bottle body and nipple is straightforward since formula contact is primarily with the liner rather than the plastic interior. The nipple and collar still require regular washing and can be run through the dishwasher top rack. For travel, many parents pre-fill liners and seal them for on-the-go convenience.
What buyers say
At 4.4 stars from 867 ratings, the Playtex Premium Nurser has a genuinely favorable reception. Reviews skew positive around the convenience factor and the effectiveness of the liner system for gassy newborns. The main thread of critical feedback is the ongoing cost of liners, which some families find adds up over the first few months of heavy bottle use.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to sterilize the drop-in liners before use?
The Playtex drop-in liners come pre-sterilized, so no boiling or sterilizer step is needed before a first fill. However, the bottle bodies, nipples, and rings should be sterilized before first use and washed thoroughly after each feed.
Where can I buy replacement liners for this bottle?
Playtex drop-in liners are sold separately and are widely available at major retailers and online. The liners are sold by size (the 4 oz size fits this bottle), and most parents find it economical to buy them in bulk packs to reduce the per-liner cost.
