How can our kids get to the good stuff without getting the bad? We’ve navigated the treacherous BPA (which should stand for Bad Plastics Alert) waters and offer a life preserver to those drowning in the seas of safe sipping options.
Boon Fluid Toddler Cup BPA-free, Phthalate-free and PVC-free with an ergonomic grip and angled spout, it’s cute as a button. (Squints, tilts head.) In fact, it’s kind of shaped like a button. www.booninc.com
Thermos Foogo Sippy Cup with Handles This BPA-free, double wall, stainless thermos with vacuum insulation, retains cold for up to six hours. A soft spout and unbreakable design make it dishwasher safe and leak-proof. (The only place we want to find leaks is on a celebrity gossip site.) www.thermosbrand.ca
Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Sippy Cup With an Avent adapter made from #5 plastic (the most stable kind) and two Avent spouts, this dishwasher safe bottle could last your child longer than any other. Or until they toss it out of the stroller – whichever. www.kleankanteen.com
SIGG Water Bottles Overwhelmingly cute, these shock and leak-proof aluminum bottles with an enamelled lining are taste-neutral and resistant to fruit acids. (You know, the juice we swear we won’t let them have too much of, and which these hide so well?) www.sigg.com
The Safe Sippy We feel a little weird calling a sippy cup sexy, so we’ll just make one reference to how its sleek shape is sheathed in a durable, safe, fun plastic coating and then move on to how the single wall stainless interior holds .325ml and all plastics are free of Bisphenol A, Phthalates and DEHA. www.thesafesippy.com
