Dr Brown's Options+ Twin Pack Bottles: Which Design Fits Your Day?

Quick answer

Choose the Elephant Design twin pack if you want a neutral print that suits any nursery, or the Pink twin pack if you prefer a colour-matched set and a lower catalog price. Both are 150ml Options+ bottles with the same vent system and Level 1 teats, so the decision comes down to print and price, not performance.

What actually differs between the two twin packs

The two Options+ 150ml twin packs share the same bottle size, the same internal vent system and the same Level 1 teat, so feeding performance is not the differentiator. The Elephant Design pack carries a catalog price of USD 11.05 against a comparison price of USD 16.49, while the Pink pack is listed at USD 10.72 against the same USD 16.49 comparison price. That makes the Pink pack the cheaper option at the time of writing, but the gap is small enough that print preference can reasonably win.

Because the catalog does not list option types such as different teat levels or bundle contents for either pack, treat both as a two-bottle starter set with Level 1 teats. If you need a faster flow or a different teat size, plan to buy those separately rather than assuming they are included.

Why the 150ml size suits the first months

A 150ml bottle is a practical everyday size for a newborn or young baby who takes smaller, more frequent feeds. A twin pack means one bottle can be in use while the other is being cleaned or is packed in the changing bag, which matters more in the early weeks than having a large bottle on hand.

If your baby is already taking larger feeds or you want one bottle to cover a longer stretch, a bigger Options+ size will be more useful. The 150ml twin pack is best treated as the bottle you reach for most often, not the only bottle you own.

The trade-off with anti-colic venting

The Options+ vent system is the reason many parents choose these bottles, but it also means more parts to wash. That is the honest trade-off: you get a bottle designed to channel air away from the feed, and in return you take on a little more cleaning routine. A twin pack doubles the number of parts in rotation, so decide whether you are comfortable with that before buying two at once.

The print itself has no effect on how the bottle works. Treat the Elephant and Pink designs as cosmetic choices and put your budget and your cleaning routine first.

Decision rules for choosing your twin pack

• If price is your main concern: Pick the Pink twin pack, which is listed at USD 10.72 against the Elephant pack's USD 11.05, both compared with USD 16.49. Check the current listing before checkout, since catalog prices can change.
• If you want a neutral print: Choose the Elephant Design pack so the bottles suit a shared nursery or a hand-me-down set.
• If you are still in the newborn stage: Buy either 150ml twin pack as your everyday bottle and keep a larger Options+ size for longer feeds later. Confirm the teat level you need before relying on the included Level 1 teats.
• If you dislike washing small parts: Consider whether the multi-part vent system fits your routine before buying two bottles at once.
