BPA-Free: The Safe Sippy
BPA Free is a new running Greenthinkers feature where we discuss BPA, link to BPA-related pieces in the news, and also discuss and review all the BPA-free products you can handle. Enjoy your new BPA-free life.
When it comes to BPA-free products for kids, The Safe Sippy stainless steel drink cup is amongst the greats. Created specifically in response to the growing body of emerging scientific evidence about the dangers of toxic chemicals used to make many plastics, the Safe Sippy is made from clean, stable and durable stainless steel. Stainless steel s the good guy in the BPA world.
Of course, as you can see from the photo, The Safe Sippy does have some plastic pieces on it. But be assured, makers Kid Basix have kept contact between water and plastic to a minimum, impress that all their plastics be certified free of Bisphenol A and phthalates.
And now on the the review. We gave a Safe Sippy to a 21-month old boy and asked him to use it for a few months, His verdict after the jump.
The Safe Sippy is a new type of sippy cup - it’s sort of a sippy cup-straw bottle hybrid. And we all know how cool hybrids are these days.
Beyond all the health-related issues mentioned above, it received high marks for its design, durability and ease of use. Features that received raves included the shape of the spout (suggested to be better for developing mouths), the tapered waist (easier for little hands to hold), and the thermoplastic rubber sleeve (makes it softer and quiet upon being dropped). And for all you early adopters out there, the new valves are fantastic!
The young toddler gives it a thumbs up, and so do his parents. More on The Safe Sippy as our BPA-Free feature continues in the coming weeks and months.

Comments are sorta kinda broken right now. We're working on it but to save energy can only work in daytime when solar system is at peak performance.
