NON plastic toddler safe dishes/glasses/bowls

We, too, were wondering about the sippy cup issue and found Sigg kid bottles to be a good alternative. They do have a plastic top (not PVC ), but the interior has a water-based enamel that's been certified by an independent laboratory not to leach anything (the outer casing is aluminum)... even if it's dented, the interior stays in tact. We got one for our baby (now 10 months) from www.reusablebags.com. It took her a couple of days to get the hang of it, but now she loves it. I saw recently, you can also order a double handle for the Sigg kids to make it easier for them to lift up. I was a little concerned when it came that it smelled kind of strongly of paint, but that went away after a day. It's certified and specially designed to be used with acidic stuff like juice. The only bummer is, it's not dishwasher safe. But still, I'm going to get a couple of big ones for DH and me. Like I said, we got Mia's at Reusable Bags and I love their company, but I think you can also get them at Blue Ridge Mountain Sports and maybe some other places.

Hope it helps!

Those Sigg Kids cups are adorable!!! Yay! I finally found something to replace my sippy cups!

Thanks!

Can someone post the links for the Sigg Kids Cups please? TIA!

My son has a Sigg and loves it. He started with it when he was 2, though, but I bet a younger child would do find if that's what they learn on. Water drips if you hold it upside down, but you definitely have to suck to get a bunch out.

For his dinner plates, we use plain white corelle and at the outlet the other day found medium sized ones with dividers. I like the divider because I can put sauce in there for him.

We use only glass to store things in the fridge and most of the stuff in the cupboard, but I just bought a bunch of freezer ziplocks because of an article in Organic Times (I didn't do any other research, just took the easy way out of believing what I read . We were going to buy a bunch of specific freezer glassware stuff, but it's just too expensive for us right now.

just curious... where did you find this info? I ask because the Reusable bags website's info on Sigg states "The liner is a food grade, water-based, resin that is sprayed and baked on to bottle," and that "The liner absolutely does not leach Bisphenol-A or other potential toxins. We have conducted our own tests in the US with a California lab, and they confirmed the European findings." So I'm just interested in reading the information that contests this. Thanks!
