Foogo Stainless Steel Drinking Bottles - we put them to the test!

The Foogo stainless steel range from Thermos was a very welcome solution to the problem of finding a BPA free phthalate free sippy cup. Although now there are more BPA free sippy cups on the market (thank goodness!) there wasn't much choice a couple of years ago, plus I really wanted stainless steel.

As soon as I got the sippy cup for Euan I also got in the stainless steel drinking bottle for Zoe and they were both an instant winner in our family! I've found on other drinking bottles that the lids can be a real pain and not close properly after time (leaving the mouthpiece uncovered and in most cases likely to get dirty) but not the case with Foogo. Zoe did chew her straw but replacements are expensive and they like the soft straw in their mouths.

I also love the wide neck on the bottles as I like to put a couple of ice cubes in the bottle when its hot. This was so important when were traveling round Australia - I found that about 5 ice cubes kept the water fresh and cool for a for a good couple of hours even when it was really hot.

Both the sippy cups and drinking bottles have been put to the test by my two - they been thrown around, buried in the sand, used to hit things with, kicked about and generally mistreated! And they've really stood up to the test.  Euan did break his lid off but we got a replacement in no time.

I can't recommend them enough as a great BPA free, phthalate free, safe stainless steel water bottle that is also insulated to keep drinks cool for longer. Now with the Funtainer range there are some gorgeous designs too.
Oh yes and the insulated food jars are very handy too!

Have a happy 'green' day
