Bubby Coolers from ChilliHilli Product Review

Hello!

Years ago, the mum behind Chillihilli bubby coolers found all the standard bottle coolers too bulky to fit into her nappy bag.

Wanting a really simple solution, she put her children’s bottles into her husband’s stubby coolers. The concept worked perfectly but she wanted a cuter option, so set about creating ChilliHilli bubby coolers.

The bubby coolers come in two sizes – wide and slimline – so no matter what bottles you use, you’ll find one to fit. They will keep liquids cool or warm for up to 2 hours and the soft neoprene fabric absorbs any condensation (keeping your nappy bag dry).Best of all, they make bottles easier for little hands to hold!

This is an extra special pre-launch MoM Review. Our mums get the very first bubby coolers to try!


Published 2nd December 2010


  • These are great for keeping formula cool but couldn't get it to keep drinks warm unless I used boiling water. Designs are awesome, much better than using an stubby holder with an alcohol logo on it!


  • I would highly recomend these they have been fantastic over the last couple of months.Everything was kept at the right temp and we had other kids and there mums trying to pinch our coolers..lol. Love the fact we had 2 diff sizes to trial and the patterns are great.


  • I got these to try and OMG they are sooo cute!!!!!! They are "just like daddys"... (but of course a LOT cuter) I love the designs and they keep bottles at a nice temp ( Hot or cold however you had them). I love using mine. A big thumbs up here!!!


  • now i can say i've truly tested these out over the past few months, they've been put through the wash, left in the rain and carried everywhere by my little one. and she STILL loves them!! and they are still in perfect condition!

    definitely an amazing product that all mums need!


  • I love these bubba coolers! My son loves cold milk, so it worked that way for me. And it was great having the two sizes too, cause i have some larger bottles and the smaller ones too. I also have used it on his water bottle too. He loves them!


  • Used the bubby cooler a lot of the the last month! Simple but fantastic product!


  • look really good. cool designs. work well keeping bottles at the right temp for longer :)


  • Oops, I have been too busy using my Chillihilli Bubby Cooler I haven't posted my thoughts, so here goes - I Love It!

    I have been using the wide neck bottle cooler since I received it about 4 or 5 weeks ago. It's has been used to keep bottles cool, and to keep bottles warm, as the weather has been all over the place.

    They are fantastic to use when out and about, however they are as great to use at home. My DD loves to graze her way through a bottle, so they keep the temperature of the contents at the right temperature for the hour she takes to finish.

    I just love the funky designs. They're also so easy to stick in the nappy bag if it isn't already on the bottle when you're heading out.

    One of those cool and functional baby products we all love to see.


  • I received my Chillihilli bubby coolers just before I went on 3 weeks holiday with my 1 year old. They were really handy keeping his drinks at the right temperature while travelling around and the designs are really cute. What a great product - well overdue!


  • Just took a road trip to the coast for New Years and when packing the car up I put my bubs hot water bottles into the coolers. They were great - lasted a good few hours into the trip and there was no condensation in the nappy bag. Thumbs up!


  • Still using Chillihilli and it is still in great condition. Holding up through all those trips on the road and being squashed into the nappy bag. Would recommend this product and am going to keep enjoying using mine.


  • There's nothing you can say bad about these handy must have items. My only comment would be a clear panel to see how much my boy has eaten would make it even more spectacular than it its already!!

    Everyone that has seen them has commented on how great they are and I can only agree!


  • Love this product!!!! Still using it and it hasn't fallen apart!. Use to use the good old stubbie cooler but they are cheap and fell apart very easy (especially the bottom of them), and even after I found my 8 yo pretending the Chillihilli it was a football, the Chillihilli has come up trumps. The cool designs are great too. Will keep using it.


  • I still am loving my Chillihilli! With either heat or cold with the rain my daughters bottles have stayed cooler for longer or warmer for longer. They also make it easy to grip for little hands!


  • LOVE THESE!!!! Really great idea, and can't believe it's not been thought of before. Good for you ChilliHilli!!

    My 2yr old loves them for her sippy cups too!! Just fantastic...

    I make sure I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone who asks about them, and I get plenty of people asking!


  • What can I say! they are fabulous I've had mine for a couple of weeks and I must admit they have become a neccessity for daily use, keeping my boys milk at a perfect temp in this cooler climate. My only wish is that we would have some summer weather :-)

    A must to have in any Mums kitchen!


  • We have contiuned to use our Chillihilli buddy cooler over the Christmas period. It kept baby's bottle nice and cool for her while we where heading south for the hoildays. The in-laws thought the cooler was a great idea and commented on it's funky design. Though granddad did make a few comments that it did look quite similar to his bottle cooler. Chillihilli was easy to pack to take away.


  • What a lovely surprise it was when I receive these gorgeous Chillihilli bubby coolers!! My son loves the modern owl print & they arrived just in time for the summer heat! I find that they are great for bottles & also pop in snacks in containers to keep them from going horribly wrong!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to trial them.....these are great little additions to bubba's nappy bag :)


  • Started using these this week...

    I am so impressed! My little one has decided that when she is hungry shes hungry NOW so i always need a botle prewarmed for her... this makes it so much easier.

    going to make life much easier whiler we are out travelling all day for xmas!! Only issue is now that hubby wants one for his beer!! he loves the design!! lol


  • I took my bubby cooler out with us out to the pub last Sat night as we went for dinner after hubby's cricket game. All the boys and WAGS were so impressed that my little girl had her own drink cooler (even though it was actually keeping it warm) The cover was quite a conversation point with everyone we were with.

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • i love sweet potato and this one looks delicious. i think even not including dairy (fore dairyfree people like me) it would still be delicious! 🍠

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
