Born Free now is jumping on the stainless steel bandwagon as has come out with a stainless steel water bottle. Their water bottle has a sports top that opens with a lift of the lid and push of a button, it comes in 2 different sizes, 9 oz and 12 oz. Because of the lid/spout features I would say this cup would be more for an older age group as L cannot open the lid and has a very hard time pushing the button. If you're little one gets frustrated easily these features are something that might cause your little one stress. The lid though is removable and taking it off might be easier if your child is having some trouble. Also a cover of some sort might be a good investment as these are single walled and tend to get quite cold once a cold liquid is added, it is recommended that you not put hot liquids in it. The company doesn't carry their own covers but most are pretty universal so you shouldn't have a problem finding one to work with your cup. Though Born Free never had a BPA issue to begin with it's nice that they have chosen to go the stainless steel route as I myself feel a little leery of the plastic options as I'm sure most parents are. These cups are just another good alternative to the plastic sippie cup route, I would recommend them for ages 3 and up due to the difficulty that younger ones might have with the lid features. But of course you know you're child best so you be the judge if you think they would be skilled enough to master the lid features earlier. The company has also came out with stainless steel food jars which we have not tried but would love to see if they are as fab as the cups.
Born Free Stainless Steel cups retail for $14.99US for the 9oz, $15.99US for the 12 oz and can be purchased from their online store (shipping to both US or Canada) or see there store locator for a store near you.
