The new Dr. Brown training sippy cup merits our rave and inclusion at http://ehp-bpa-free-cups.com because it possesses many important aspects and benefits that are worth their cost – without paying too much (since we do not agree with paying too much for an item that will only be in use for a few months)!
First of all, the perfect toddler sippy cups are simple for a young explorer to manipulate, and this Dr. Brown training one certainly is. This is the feature you should check first and foremost. A toddler must be able to easily feel at ease with the sippy cup. This idea may sound obvious and simple, but several bpa free sippy cups available today, even the cups without BPA which have all been recently invented or redesigned, forget to include this important characteristic. Small hands have to be able to easily turn it up and down without losing the sippy.
Not only is this a functional issue, it is developmental too – every mom or dad wants their toddler to be encouraged by their use of the toddler sippy cup, not exasperated by it.
Also, a top sippy, in particular one without BPA, has to be simple for a parent to clean. Again, this Dr. Brown training bpa-free sippy cup meets that standard. It does not have an excess of parts, and it can easily be taken apart and put back together. I personally prefer sippy cups that can go in the dishwasher, but will purchase one once in a while that must be hand cleaned if it looks particularly promising. That is a decision you will have to make. You may simply not have the time to purchase sippys that are not dishwasher safe. Regardless, this sippy cup does not have too many parts and is easy to clean, both important aspects of any sippy cup.
Last but not least, this Dr. Brown training bpa free cup possesses, as all ideal sippys should, a bpa-free label! The whole story on the effects and impacts of BPA probably won’t emerge for a good while, but in the meantime, it is worth purchasing those cups that are BPA free. The difference in cost is minimal, and the future impact on your toddler is – potentially – quite huge!
