The Playtex sippy cup earns this rave and membership at this website because it is blessed with lots of important aspects and benefits that are worth their cost – without spending too much (since we don’t believe in spending too much for an item that is put to use for a short time)!
To begin with, the best bpa-free cups are easy for a young explorer to hold, and this Playtex one certainly is. This is the feature you should check first and foremost. A preschooler should be able to easily feel at ease with the sippy cup. This idea may sound obvious and simple, but many sippy cups available today, including the bpa free sippy cups which have all been recently invented or redesigned, lack this feature. Little, still developing hands have to be able to easily pick it up and put it down without dropping the toddler sippy cup.
This is not only a matter of function, it is developmental too – you want your preschooler to be encouraged by their use of the toddler sippy cup, not frustrated by it.
Additionally, a top sippy, especially a sippy with no BPA, has to be easy for a mom or dad to clean. Again, this Playtex bpa-free sippy cup meets that standard. It does not have a lot of components, and it can easily be disassembled and reassembled. I personally prefer cups that can be washed in the dishwasher, but will purchase one once in a while that has to be washed by hand if it looks particularly promising. That is a personal call every parent will have to make. You may simply not have the time to mess with bpa free cups that are not dishwasher safe. Regardless, this sippy has only a few parts and is easy to wash, both important aspects of any sippy cup.
Last but not least, this Playtex toddler sippy cup has, as all good sippy cups do, a bpa-free certification! The complete story on the long-term impacts of BPA probably will not come out for many years, but in the interim, it is worth buying those cups that are certified to be BPA free. The price difference is quite small, and the future impact on your preschooler is – potentially – quite huge!
