The Green Sprout sippy cup earns our rave and mention at this website because it possesses lots of noteworthy features and advantages worth paying for – without paying too much (as we don’t agree with paying too much for anything that will only be put to use for a short period of development)!
First of all, the ideal sippy cups are simple for a young explorer to carry, and this Green Sprout one certainly is. This is the most important feature of any sippy cup. A toddler should be able to easily handle and move the sippy cup. This idea may sound obvious and simple, but many sippys on the market, including the cups without BPA which have all been recently invented or redesigned, forget to include this important characteristic. Little, still developing hands must be able to easily turn it up and down without dropping the sippy cup.
This is not only a matter of performance, it is developmental too – every mom or dad wants their child to be encouraged when using the sippy, not exasperated by it.
Also, a smart toddler sippy, in particular a sippy with no BPA, has to be simple for a parent to wash. Again, this Green Sprout bpa-free sippy cup meets that standard. It does not have too many pieces, and it can easily be taken apart and put back together. I personally prefer cups that can be washed in the dishwasher, but will purchase one once in a while that must be handwashed if it looks good. That is a personal call every parent will have to make. You may simply not have the time to mess with toddler sippy cups that are not ok for use in the dishwasher. Regardless, this cup does not have too many parts and is easy to clean, both vital characteristics of any sippy cup.
Finally, this Green Sprout bpa free cup possesses, as all ideal sippy cups do, a bpa-free certification! The whole story about the long-term impacts of BPA probably will not be clear for a good while, but in the meantime, it is worth paying for those cups that do not have any BPA in them. The price difference is quite small, and the potential impact on your child is – potentially – quite significant!
