LANCASTER, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chicco, the leading European baby specialist brand, announced today that its ChiccoDUO Hybrid Baby Bottle™ has been named to TIME’s list of the 100 Best Inventions of 2021. TIME’s annual list showcases the year’s top inventions that “make the world better, smarter and even a bit more fun.”
Recognized by TIME for its ability to solve the “glass vs. plastic” baby bottle struggle with a design that is “the best of both,” the ChiccoDUO Hybrid Baby Bottle is a first-to-market hybrid baby bottle that combines the wellness benefits of pure glass with the convenience of plastic in one bottle. Advancing baby bottles for both families and the parenting industry, Chicco’s innovative bottle technology bonds micro-thin inner-layers of 100% pure Invinci-glass™ to a lightweight premium plastic outer-layer, resulting in a bottle that will not break, shatter, chip, stain, or harbor odors or an aftertaste. It is also BPA, BPS, PVC and phthalate free, and is dishwasher, bottle warmer and sterilizer safe. The sleek design makes it easy and comfortable for babies and parents to hold.
“Chicco’s partnership with a major medical technology manufacturer has enabled us to engineer an elevated baby bottle design with materials that are breakproof and can be heated without risk of extractables or leachables as baby’s milk only touches glass,” said Brenda Liistro, Chicco’s General Manager of Feeding & Care. “We are incredibly honored to be recognized by TIME for our groundbreaking advancement of baby bottles.”
To assemble the 2021 list, TIME solicited nominations from its editors and correspondents around the world, as well as through an online application process. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, creativity, efficacy, ambition and impact.
The ChiccoDUO Hybrid Baby Bottle is also the recipient of eight other prestigious awards, including Good Housekeeping’s 2021 Parenting Awards, Good Design, IDA (International Design Award), Mom’s Choice Gold Award, Parent Tested Parent Approved, NAPPA Award ( National Parenting Product Awards), Fast Company’s Innovation by Design 2021 and Baby Maternity Magazine’s Top Choice Award.
The ChiccoDUO Hybrid Baby Bottle is available at Chicco USA and retailers including Buybuybaby, Babylist, Target and Amazon (MSRP: $19.99 for a pack of two).
