No more picking up sippy cups with NoThrow

Lisa Estall — Wed, 06 May 2009 21:42:00 GMT

Tired of having your kids throw their sippy cups in the air like they just don’t care? NoThrow is a product that has a tether and Velcro strap, and connects to a child’s bottle or cup to prevent the cup from being thrown. The leash-styled handle can strap or be...

slipped over a seat belt of a highchair, stroller, or car seat. Looking over the product, you can probably make this if you have a sewing machine. If you don't have one, then you can get it for $5.00 at Walgreens, selected grocery stores such as Publix and online at www.nothrow.com.

Personalize Your Child's Drinks With Inchbug Labels

Lisa Estall — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:48:00 GMT

Bumpy Name Orbit Labels have come up with a great solution to know which sippy cup is your child's.

Personalize them by name and color and you'll get a set of 4 flexible rubber labels for under $13.00. The labels slide onto cups and bottles and stay firm. They'll be no more confusion as to which cup belongs to who again. Other uses include personalizing shampoo and body wash bottles. A real neat touch is that your chosen name is printed in braille too.

These are great and very useful! I personalized mine with our last name so when our daughter is older she can use them too.

Keeps Milk Fresh for Six Hours

elizabeth leach — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:00:00 GMT

Droolicious has written about the Foogo Sippy Cup and Straw Bottle by Thermos before (read that post here), but I have to toot their horn since I just purchased one of each and I'm in love. It's wonderful knowing you can fill the sippy cup with milk and not have to worry about refrigerating it up to six hours. I hate throwing away milk, but I also hate worrying that I've left it out too long.

I read the comments from Heather's first post on the Foogo Sippy Cup and someone had an issue with it leaking. There is a trick to keep the sippy cup from leaking. Simply make sure the spout is dry when you put it together with the valve. (The entire top part of the sippy cup.)

Both the sippy cup and straw bottle are BPA free and are made from unbreakable stainless steel. Available in blue and yellow and pink and purple. And, boy, they sure look cool.

Find the Foogo Sippy Cup for $15 and the Foogo Straw Bottle for $15 at The Soft Landing.

Five Reasons Boon Makes Us Swoon

Cathy Hale — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Boon is a brand that puts the "oooooh" in baby products. When it comes to mealtime fun, it's hard to beat the one-of-a-kind modern design Boon brings to the table. If you're looking for fun and functional goodies under $10, Boon will make you swoon.

#1 - The Fluid No-Spill Toddler Cup - This is possibly the coolest sippy cup on the planet. The unique shape makes it easy to grasp, even for little hands and fingers. It's BPA-free too. $6.00

#2 - The Snack Ball - How can a little orb with treats inside be so darn cute? I don't know, but it is. See how I used them as party favors! Orange and pink. $6.50

#3 - Squirt Food Dispensing Spoon - It may look a bit crazy, but most moms think it works like a charm. Two words come to mind, "less mess!" $8.00

#4 - ModWare Toddler Utensils - Have you ever seen such a funky fork & spoon? Do they make a set that serves 12? Comfort-grip handles, dishwasher safe and PVC free. $5.00

#5 - Catch Bowl - It's like this bowl has a built-in mommy - a spill catcher. The special piece extends towards the child to make sure potentially runaway spills find their way back into the bowl. $7.00

Green Alert! According to the Boon website, all of the above items are BPA-free and PVC-free.

ABC Kids Expo 2008: Sippy Express Water And Juice Bottle Topper

Chris Ford — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 18:29:00 GMT

Another small, unknown product I saw that I thought was pretty cool was the Sippy Express. It's a bottle topper that turns almost any water bottle or juice bottle (even the wide mouth bottles) into a sippy cup.

The Sippy Express goes on over the top of an open bottle with a twist, and even though it doesn't use the threads of the bottle top itself, it still would be hard for a child to remove. The representative demoing it for me turned the bottle upside down, and while a couple drips fell from the bottle, it held the liquid in really well. There also isn't any valve that removes (like all my sippy cups). It's BpA free and dishwasher safe and fits 99% of all widely available water bottles and juice bottles.

It's a brand new product, but should retail for around $2.99. Check it out at SippyExpress.com.

BPA-Free: Skip The Plastic With Klean Kanteen

Sarah Verdone — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:53:00 GMT

Bypass the BPAs completely with Klean Kanteen's pint-size sippy cup. The 12 ounce stainless steel bottles come with a sippy adaptor and two spouts (made of non-leaching polypropylene #5) and can be converted to the grown-up version of the sippy cup with an extra sport top.

7 Days of BPA-Free Plastics: CamelBak Better Water Bottle

Chris Ford — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 11:03:00 GMT

My kids are (almost) completely done with sippy cups, so now I'm starting to think about how I'm going to bring a drink for them to the park without using a sippy cup. Luckily I found a BPA-free option at Amazon - The CamelBak "BPA- Free" Better Water Bottle.

The CamelBak water bottle comes in a 16, 25 and 32 oz. size, has a handle that you can clip to a carabiner or back pack, and is made of BPA-Free plastic. It even has a standard size cap that will apparently allow the lid to fit other bottles.

CamelBak "BPA-Free" Better Water Bottle, $6.95 from Amazon.com for the 16 oz. version
