Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I read the volume markers?
Subo has volume markers in both milliliters and fluid ounces and on both sides of the bottle, located beside the windows. You may notice that one side is upside down. The Subo base and collar can be assembled on either side of the tube, making it multidirectional. The markers with the TOP nearest the spout are the ones you should be using. The top of the platform will line up with the markers indicating the amount of food remaining in the bottle.

The platform is damaged, can I still use Subo?
Please take extra care with the platform as if this is damaged or bent out of shape it will hinder performance. You can purchase replacement parts through our online shop as required.
The platform is not moving up the bottle when in use?
Please ensure that the valve located in the base of the bottle is not sealed shut. At the top of the domed shape valve, there is a 12mm slit that can sometimes stick together after washing. Gently squeeze the dome and the slit should pop apart. In order for the platform to move freely up the tube it requires airflow through the base and up through the tube. Please also check that the inlet hole in the base is not obstructed (i.e. name stickers)

Can I remove the spout?
Yes just push the silicone spout through the hole in collar it will come out.
Can I take apart the platform?
No. The fin is overmolded to the platform. There is no need to take it apart.
