The myriad of sippy cups taking up an entire area in your kitchen? Yeah, me too. I have not been able to find an acceptable sippy cup so I literally have tried them all. I take back my recommendation of Foogo, it leaks, the small parts are annoying and is heavy for what it is. The Safe Sippy is good, I like everything except that you cannot close it to put in your bag and it still has a plastic valve that gets gross and moldy. So, here is the last and final word: Sigg is the best. And here are my reasons why:
- BPA free
- No leaching – lining is a water-based, non-toxic coating
- No bacteria build up – which means, no stinky musty cups
- Clean, neutral taste every time, even after milk or fruit juice
- No valves and little parts
- Does not leak – twist spout closes tight, safe enough to put in your precious bag
- Easy to clean
- Lightweight
- Durable – will dent if thrown around but it does not affect the function
- Perfect for lunches
- Tots love them
- Huge variety of cute designs
It is not a “sippy cup” so is not suitable for infants and little tots, but if if your tot can hold a sippy and drink on her/his own, they are ready (around 1 year). There is a slight vacuum so water does not freely drip out of the open spout, so in that way it does acts like a sippy with a valve. The Sigg Baby Water Bottle (0.3-Liters)
