This review was written by a friend of mine after searching for some new cups for her son. Thanks Buffy!
I know some of you are looking for alternatives to plastics for our kids products. I was looking for some alternatives to the regular plastic sippy cups. I had read some reviews about the Thermos Foogo Straw Cup and decided to give one a try. I LOVE it and more importantly Bode loves it! They are stainless steel and keep a drink cold for 12 hours. It’s true, too, Bode’s drink stays cold til it is either gone or I poor it out. All straw cups can leak because it can come out of the straw, but I have had very little leaking out of it. When the snap top is down it doesn’t leak at all. It holds 12 oz., so it lasts him a good while. It is designed more like a “big person’s” cup and actually fits in ALL cup holders and fits much nicer into my purse than the regular bulky cups. I think it is easier to clean than regular sippy cups/valves and doesn’t get that “plastic” smell. At $15, it is pricey, but I have to say that I find myself using it instead of all my other cups. I keep one or two regular sippy cups for yogurt and milk drinks because I keep the Foogo cup filled with water or water/juice all day. I found mine at Target in the sports section with the adult sports bottles and Thermoses. Then I found one on clearance at Kohls (although, it’s pink!! oh well!!). O.k., I will quit going on and on, but if you are looking for an alternative to plastic to add to your sippy cup rotation, I highly recommend trying this cup! They also make a sippy cup, but the reviews aren’t quite as good on it and I haven’t tried it, so can’t say one way or the other, but the straw cup is GREAT!!!
