From the Manufacturer


Long considered a trusted partner by parents in providing healthy food and drink options for kids, thermos brand has brought its superior insulation technology to a new line of children's products for ages six months and older. Freshness and safety go hand in hand. If not kept at the right temperature, foods and beverages can spoil, causing potentially dangerous bacteria to form. Foogo products keep foods and beverages safer and healthier longer. In addition to providing added protection from spoilage and food born illnesses, thermos also offers parents extra peace-of mind in knowing that Foogo products use all FDA approved materials and do not use plastics containing bisphenol a (BPA).

Customer Reviews

I own all 3 stainless sippy cups - the Kleen Kanteen, the Thermos Foogoo, and the Safe Sippy. Conclusion: each has its specific use that it is best for. I use the Kleen Kanteen for water, the Foogoo for milk (so my daughter knows what drink she is getting). I like Safe Sippy the least.

My daughter is 17 months and has been using a sippy cup since 5 months.

Kleen Kanteen - 5 stars- my go-to cup and favorite of the three

Pros:

Easy to assemble and clean (I wash it every day with hot soapy water and a nipple brush to avoid anything growing in the spout)

Takes the Avent spouts

Does NOT leak either from the valve or the threads (note to people who say that it just lets water run out - make sure you put the clear valve on the inside!). Also does not leak when she drops it or shakes it.

You can put a can koozie around it if you need insulation!

Lifelong purchase - When they don't need a sippy anymore, switch out the top.

Cons:

The black plastic collar that screws in place has broken 4 (Yes! FOUR!) times when my daughter has dropped it. Costs at least $4.50 to replace. Has broken each time on a linoleum floor!

My daughter has dented the bottom by banging it on the concrete outside. (not really a big deal, just aesthetically not as nice anymore)

Mine did not come with a lid.

Thermos Foogoo - 3 stars - daily use for milk - great for outings but started leaking after 4 months

Pros:

The thermos construction keeps milk cold for hours!

My daughter has dropped this one (or thrown it) and it does not break and only leaks a little milk from the spout (none from the threads).

Cons: Complicated! Read the directions!

Valve is 2 pieces, difficult to remove, and don't loose either piece!

Lid is 2 pieces, can be difficult to align.

Lid pieces must be aligned perfectly and must be screwed in perfectly (spout exactly 90 degrees from the handles) so that it does not leak from the threads.

My daughter has dented it.

Other comments:

When my daughter was younger I liked the smaller volume - a larger size would have been too heavy and my daughter did not drink more than 7 oz of milk at once. Now she drinks more, and a larger cup would be nice. I guess now I just need to take a regular thermos of milk, and a separate sippy cup.

It did not leak from the spout or threads for many months, as long as it was properly assembled, even if it was stored sideways. However, after 4 months of use, it now leaks a bit. If I put it in my bag, I put the cup in a Ziploc first.

Safe Sippy - 3 stars - Leaky so I use as a backup cup for water - I like the straw that comes with it (would have rated it 2 stars if there was no straw)

Pros:

Handle is removable (Its kind of cheap and gets in the way, might be useful for the youngest kids)

Switch out the inside valve with a straw! This is cool - I taught my daughter how to use the straw, so when she is older we will use this cup more.

Rubber around the outside, so no need for a koozie.

Cons: Leaky! Leaky! Leaky!

I wonder if the valve on this thing is just inconsistent between each bottle. Mine leaks when it is upside down and my daughter stops drinking and the pressure equalizes. It also leaks if its upside down and gets shaken at all. Some folks complain that it is too hard to get any water out, and others say it is perfect.

The threads do not leak

The o-ring is hard to get in and out to clean and you must be careful not to break it in the process.

This sippy cup is great idea and great design. Unfortunately, if your toddler chews on the spout very much at all (and what toddler doesn't have the urge to chew on something nice and soft in her mouth?), you will soon have a hole and eventually the entire top of the spout will be in two pieces. And there are apparently no replacement parts. Bummer. Otherwise, it's fabulous, but with a broken spout, pretty unusable.
