Our older children received stainless steel water bottles for Christmas. So far, they seem to be getting a lot of use. While checking out the clearance section of KidSurplus.com, I came upon this great deal on Klean Kanteen’s version for younger users. Equipped with an Avent spout, this bottle holds 12 oz and is BPA-free and environmentally responsible. designed for children ages 12 months and up, it is dishwasher safe and on sale for $13.99 (down from $19.99). I don’t see this brand on sale very often, so I think this is a great deal. You can pick one up at kidsurplus.com.

This Klean Kanteen Sippy is an alternative to sippy cups made from materials that are made from polypropylene plastic (pp#5) which have a tendency to leach out. The Klean Kanteen is made from stainless steel and is toxin free. Drinking water from a stainless steel Klean Kanteen sippy cup will taste clean and odor free for your child. I admit they’re a little unusual looking (I thought they were finger paint containers) but they’re designed for safety and use by toddlers. The reusable, lightweight 12oz stainless steel bottle is made especially for small hands.

It comes with a sippy adapter made from safe, non leaching polypropylene plastic (pp#5) and 2 spouts. Simply replace the sippy cup adapter with a flat cap, loop cap, or a sport drinking cap as your child grows out of the sippy cup stage.

The Klean Kanteen Sippy measures 5″ H x 2.75″ W (without cap) and holds 12 fluid ounces. The cup weighs 4oz and costs $19.95 at naturalpod.com.
