Bottles. Sippy Cups. Pacifiers. Pump parts. You’re going to be doing a lot of washing as a parent, much of it by hand. And while it’s probably not going to be high on your list of favorite tasks, it’s pretty important to keep your baby’s feeding gear clean and dry—and that’s where the right bottle drying rack can help.

A drying rack that can handle all of your washing needs and keep everything organized will go a long way in making this chore a bit more manageable. It will come in handy for items you may not think about right away, too. A dropped binky, tiny spoons, toddler water bottles and even that occasional wine glass may all find a home on your bottle drying rack over the years.

These are the best bottle drying racks that stand out and may even make your time at the sink a little easier.

Babylist’s Top Picks for the Best Bottle Drying Racks

Babylist’s Picks for the Best Bottle Drying Racks

Best Bottle Drying Rack Overall

Every parent needs their own peaceful patch of grass, even if it’s just on the kitchen counter. This fun, modern bestseller has been a long-time favorite for good reason. Designed to dry bottles and accessories upright, the innovative lawn design can accommodate items from a full day of feeding and then some. It’s made from BPA-free, phthalate-free and PVC-free materials, and also comes in a smaller Patch size. You can also add on fun accessories for extra real estate like the Poke & Stem set and the Twig Drying Rack Accessory. Glass baby bottles feel especially secure on this rack.

Pro tip: the tray doesn’t drain, so give it a regular check and hand-washing to prevent mold and dirt buildup.

Most Stylish Bottle Drying Rack

With its modern design and neutral colorways, this drying rack is as beautiful as it is functional. It features 13 branches in various sizes to hold everything from bottles and nipples to sippy cups and pacifiers. The tray base is removable for easy cleaning and the whole rack is top-rack dishwasher safe.

Dimensions 5.9” x 12.8”
Dishwasher safe? Yes

Best Bottle Drying Rack for Small Spaces

We know space comes at a premium, especially once your house starts filling with all things baby. This compact drying rack holds all things baby without hogging your much-needed kitchen counter space. The rack fits neatly under cabinets and can be tucked right up against the wall. There’s no storage sacrifice here—this drying rack holds plenty of cups, bottles and accessories.

If you need a larger-capacity space-spacing drying rack, Ubbi’s Vertical Bottle Drying Rack is another popular choice. It has four extra pegs and holds up to 13 bottles.

Dimensions 14.8” x 4.2” x 10.5”
Dishwasher safe? Yes

Best Folding Bottle Drying Rack

For another space-saving hack, try a bottle drying rack that folds when it’s not in use. This one features 16 pegs in two different heights to hold all the things—and folds flat for easy storage when you don’t want it sitting on your counter anymore. The built-in reservoir collects extra water and you can toss the whole rack into your dishwasher (top rack only, please) when it starts looking icky. It’s also super affordable.

Dimensions 9.5” x 11.5” x 2.4”
Dishwasher safe? Yes

The Right Height

The pegs on this bottle drying rack come in lots of different heights so you can fit just about every size of bottle, nipple, pacifier and even pump part you could imagine. The sloped design helps everything dry faster, and the rack lifts out of the bottom tray for easy cleanup. Fold down the pegs when not in use or if you simply want to stash the rack out of sight.

Additional Specs
Dimensions 14” x 10” x 2”
Dishwasher safe? Yes

Best Bottle Drying Rack for Travel

You won’t need to leave wet bottle parts on a borrowed dish towel or hunt around for a bottle brush when you’re away from home anymore. This super-portable rack (it measures under 6 inches wide when closed) is easy to stash in your suitcase or diaper bag when you’re traveling with bottles or pump parts. The kit comes with a bottle brush that stores right inside the carrying case and even includes a mini-brush within the handle for keeping nipples clean. Just note that the shorter prongs mean taller bottles are prone to tipping over.

Additional Specs
Dimensions Closed: 8.5” x 5.5” x 2.2”; open: 8.5” x 10.8” x 2.2”
Dishwasher safe? Yes

Best Spinning Drying Rack

If you’re looking for a true countertop upgrade, this rack has your back. Designed in two tiers, it can accommodate bottles (it holds up to 16), nipples, breast pump parts and more. We love the spinning feature too—anything you need is always within reach. But our favorite part is the reversible drip tray that lets water drip right into the sink, or when flipped around, catches it instead.

Dimensions 11.5” x 11.4” x 3.1”

What to Look for in a Bottle Drying Rack

A bottle drying rack is a fairly straightforward purchase, but there are a few things you should consider before you buy or register for one.

  • Size. Most bottle drying racks take up a hefty amount of real estate on your counter. If you don’t have the space, consider one with a vertical design or a model that folds so you can stash it away when it’s not in use.
  • Care. Sitting water is an ideal environment for mold growth and other yucky things you don’t want touching your baby’s bottles. A good bottle drying should be either completely dishwasher-safe or easy to hand wash.
  • Drainage. One of the best parts about using a bottle drying rack is that it keeps the water from drip drying bottles and accessories contained. Look for a drying rack with a deep, amply-sized tray that’s easy to empty and wash.
