Keep your cool and opt for an eco sippy cup. These stainless steel containers help kids make the leap from bottle to cup without unleashing wrath on their bodies or the planet.The Benefits:
- Losing it - chems, that is. Plastic (#7) in non-eco sippy cups contains chems like the hormone disruptor BPA, which can leach into food and drink.
- Lightening up on the planet. Our picks are made from stainless steel and BPA-free, #5 plastics - both recyclable - or food-safe rubber.
Personally Speaking:
We like the Safe Sippy's ergonomic design but love the rubber sleeve, which softens the landing when the cup inevitably goes flying through the air.
Wanna Try:
- Kleen Kanteen Sippy Cup - 12-ounce cup; comes with two BPA-free, nontoxic plastic sippy spouts ($18).
- Thermos Foogo Sippy Cup - two-handled, 7-ounce cup with rubber spout and nontoxic silicone straw ($14).
- Safe Sippy Cup - 11-ounce cup with BPA- and phthalate-free plastic lid (see picture); two handles and rubber sleeve make for easy gripping ($12).

Bang For The Bite
They can cost a bit more, but stainless steel sippy cups keep toxic chems away from kids and off the planet.
