Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 We had Klean Kanteen water bottles and they did not hold up well (the bottoms leaked). The Sigg have held up much better! --- On Sun, 8/31/08, itshotinjt04 <itshotinjt04 wrote: itshotinjt04 <itshotinjt04 OT: sippy cups Sunday, August 31, 2008, 10:10 AM After finding out that Gerber's sippy cups aren't BPA-free, I have been on the hunt for stainless stell sippy cups.

So far, I have found the leat expensive to be Safe Sippy, so I am leaning towards that one. I will need 4, two for each of my boys. I will just have to figure out how I will juggle soy milk, juice and water between the 2! Ugh... Why does convenience have to be so toxic?? Thanks in advance for your help.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 If your Klean Kanteen's leaked, you should contact the company or the people you bought them from. I have owned KK's for about eight years and the last four I have sold them in my store. I've never had the bottoms leak. I have had (recently) some issues with the caps, but I replace any caps free if they break and I'm sure most retailers will. I heard that Sigg has an stainless steel option now (previously they were alluminum with a coating which always worried me) which is great news!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have a Foogo and like it although it is HEAVY and my 20 month old can throw it like a quarterback. It is great for smoothies though and keeps stuff cold for a ridiculous amount of time. , " itshotinjt04 " <itshotinjt04 wrote: > > After finding out that Gerber's sippy cups aren't BPA-free, I have > been on the hunt for stainless stell sippy cups.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 My two kids use Foogo Thermos brand. I have been using them for years and love them. They use one for water during the day and the other in there lunch with juice or lemonade ect. It really keeps there drinks cold all day long too. Yes, they are expensive but worth it to me. Good luck. itshotinjt04 <itshotinjt04 Sunday, August 31, 2008 8:10:42 AM OT: sippy cups After finding out that Gerber's sippy cups aren't BPA-free, I have been on the hunt for stainless stell sippy cups.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 We have Siggs too and they have held up really well. Great for WalMart but I still hate and hardly ever shop there! The place just gives me the icks:) So if you already have these cups what should you do with them. I already have some Gerber cups now I will stop using them but now what? > Shari > > After finding out that Gerber's sippy cups aren't BPA-free, I have > been on the hunt for stainless stell sippy cups.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 How did they leak on the bottom? We do like our Klean Kanteens. The main thing I like about them is that they come in several sizes and each size fits the same lids -- and they have a number of different styles of lids. We have a couple of each type of lid so we just grab the size and lid style we need for wherever we're going. Very flexible. I do find our older ones that have gotten banged up are a bit warped on the bottom and don't sit flat anymore, but we haven't had leakage problems and we've been using them constantly for well over a year (and they're being lugged in kids' backpacks every day, I've even seen my kids playing catch with them and missing :-( ). The newer ones we have have an indented part in the bottom, and those ones don't seem to have gotten banged out of shape -- not sure if they just haven't been dropped as much, or if the indent is there to prevent that.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Depends what your area recycles though. Our city only does #s 1 and 2 plastics.
