BPA Free sippy cups

Modern reports indicate that the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) in the plastics applied to make many types of sippy cups could cause behavioral changes in babies or contribute to early onset of puberty in girls. It must be said that not all scientist agree on this. Further study is needed on the exact effects of BPA in humans, but many parents have worries and are prone to switching to BPA-free sippy cups just to be on the safe side. If you'd like to switch, too, the sippy cups listed below do not contain BPA.

Tilty Cup BPA-Free Sippy Cup

The Tilty Cup sippy cup is free of BPA, and is also a rather cool new design that makes it less complicated for toddlers to drink without tipping the cup way back over their heads. Inside the cup, there is an angled wall of plastic that tips the liquid toward the toddler's mouth as he or she tilts the cup up to drink. When it's time to graduate to a regular child's cup, kids who are used to the Tilty Cup are less likely to dump their drink all over themselves when they tip it too far back out of habit.

 

Foogoo by Thermos Leak-Proof BPA-Free Sippy Cup

This stainless steel sippy cup from Foogoo by Thermos is receiving rave reviews from parents. It has a leak-proof valve that works fine. I tested one out and had trouble getting any liquid to come out while shaking the cup. The Foogoo sippy cup has a soft but durable spout, and is available with and without handles. This cup is also created to keep drinks cold, which is pretty important if you're taking milk along with you. A few parents expressed concern that this cup looked heavy - it's barely heavier than a traditional plastic sippy, and the design, especially with the handles, makes it easy to hold on to.

 

Safe Sippy BPA-Free Sippy Cup

Created from medical-grade stainless steel, the Safe Sippy BPA-free sippy cup has a sleek, grown-up look that toddlers will love. A thermoplastic rubber sleeve around the lower steel portion will help keep the cup from getting dented, and also helps keep drinks warm or cold. Handles and texturing on the cup make it easy for little hands to grip. Though the lid is made of plastic, it is a #5 plastic that is free of BPA and phthalates. The spout is formed like a straw and has a silicone valve in it that only discharges liquid when the child sucks on it.

 

Klean Kanteen BPA-Free Sippy Cup
The stainless steel water bottles from Klean Kanteen are sold with an exceptional sippy cup cap to make a handy toddler bottle. The spouts that are sold with this setup are in reality Avent polypropylene sippy spouts. The 12-ounce bottles are a good size, but still easy to hold for little hands. I think that it would be wise to add a padded sleeve to this sippy, though, to keep it from being dented.

 

Boon Fluid BPA-Free Sippy Cup

If you're a lover of modernistic design, the Fluid sippy cup from Boon might appeal to your sense of style. This wide, rounded cup has a hole in the middle so that the sides of the cup form handles that are sized just right for small hands. The cap has a valve and spout integrated. I would recommend this cup for older toddlers who can endure a faster flow from a cup, though. This is not a beginner valve!

 

ThinkBaby BPA-Free Trainer Cup

ThinkBaby's trainer cup has the same specific venting system as the company's baby bottles. The venting system might reduce the chance of your toddler acquiring an ear infection, and will probably reduce the amount of air that is swallowed. The plastics in this sippy cup are free of BPA, but also free of phthalates, PVC and lead. The ThinkBaby Trainer Cup has wide handles that are easy for little hands to hold, and a soft silicone spout that might make it easier to switch from bottle to sippy cup. This cup comes with a travel cap to minimize mess in a diaper bag or vehicle.

 

Born Free BPA-Free Drinking Cup Trainer Cup

Born Free offers 2 types of BPA-free sippy cups. The Trainer Cup is designed for younger toddlers and has a gentle spout with a low-vacuum valve. The Drinking Cup has a hard plastic spout for older toddlers, but still has the low-vacuum valve that makes it easier to get fluid flowing. These sippy cups have handles for easy gripping and also come with caps for more elegant transport.

 

Avent Magic Cups BPA-Free Sippy Cups

Even though Avent has been mentioned in the news for BPA in their polycarbonate bottles, this company does make BPA-free sippy cups, so if you're one of the many parents who feels brand loyal to Avent, this is a great choice. Handles are available to help little hands hold on to these cups. They are leak-resistant. It's a good idea to get a small brush to clean inside the spout, though. The narrow spout is easy to drink from but not so comfortable to clean.

 

Gerber Fun Grips BPA-Free Sippy Cups

Sippy cups from Gerber are colorful and very commonly available, so if you're looking for an easy-to-find sippy cup with no BPA you shouldn't face trouble locating these in any discount or baby gear store. They come in 2 sizes, loads of colors, and even a variety that changes colors with heat or cold. These cups are really not expensive, but I found that the valves had a tendency to leak a bit when they had been employed and washed multiple times. If you want to buy one of these BPA free sippy cups then go to a reliable place
