A baby food maker is not something that you cannot do without. In fact, you don’t need a specialised food maker for the baby if you already have a general food processor. And even if you don’t have a food processor, you can do it all by hand, albeit being a lot difficult and time-consuming. But if you don’t have a food processor, it is still convenient to have a separate one that you use just for the baby that is portable so that you can take it with you when you travel if necessary.
