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.

Buy them at clevermom.me and use discount code: droolicious to get your 15% discount.

Tilty Cup Gets a Chemically Conscious Redesign

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:30:00 GMT

The Tilty Cup, an ergonomically sound trainer that helps to ease toddlers' transition from the bottle, didn't need much in the way of functional improvements for its latest version: The angled wedge inside the cup still keeps liquids flowing without forcing kids to tilt their heads, and the cup's snap-on, valve-free lid is still designed to promote dental development.

Compositionally, however, Tilty Cup 2.0 has kids' inner safety in mind. The new cups feature no BPA, PVC, phthalates or cadmium (a known carcinogen often found in colored dyes), and by 2009, the company says it will be dying all colored versions of the Tilty Cup with a kid-safe organic pigment.

$6 for a 7-ounce 2-pack at the Tilty Cup Store.

Droolworthy: Reduce Unseen Risk with Klean Kanteen

Karen — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 23:02:00 GMT

I hesitate to feature products that boast to prevent things that make parents paranoid, but this one really got me thinking. Now I will admit that both my kids were sippy cup fanatics and said cups were made from plastic. According to extensive studies, I was slowly poisoning my kids, which really, is the only way to do it.

With Klean Kanteen, you don't have the risk of harmful chemicals being served up with your spawn's 100% organic, range free, all-natural, granola-eating, tree-hugging, sandal-wearing, sugar/fat/salt/preservative-free, glacial spring dog drink on the rocks.

12 ounce sippy is $17.95 or 2 for $33.90. Had I the chance to do it over again, I would have adopted 3 year olds and avoided the whole sippy cup debate, or you know, bought these.

Feed Me: Pack 'em Up, Move 'em Out

crazedparent — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 21:07:00 GMT

Looking for an easy way to pack up your eats for park playdates? The Baby on the Go Dish Set could make your day. It comes with 2 bowls, 4 sippy cups, 2 serving cups with lids and 2 fork and spoon sets. Did you see how big that bag is? I'd have to snap photos of it as I unpacked it for the first time just to reassemble. The Baby on the Go Dish Set sells for $25 (a good deal considering how much Tupperware costs).
