Default Safe Drinking Bottles

Just wondering if any of my fellow NP mummas have bought or use safe drinking bottles for their kids (or for your own use!) Which brands are better? The 2 I have been looking at are the Foogoo Stainless Steel Sippy Cups or the SIGG Sippy cups. You can read about and purchase both on Natureschild http://www.natureschild.com.au/shopp..._bottles/111/1 What I want to know is what is better for a 7 month old? The Foogoo Sippy I think looks more age appropriate for a 7 month old, but it does say you can get a handle for the SIGG - but there is no picture for me to see if it looks ok. Has anyone bought one? The Foogoo is significantly cheaper too! I would also like to buy one for my 3 year old, so would the SIGG be better for that age group? And reading about them both - I assume they are both as safe as one another? Thanking you in advance for your recommendations.

Our DS has always had a SIGG bottle (with handle). He has used it since he was old enough to hold it. He finds it a little difficult to drink from (tends to suck too hard & get too much in his mouth) but that could be more about him than the bottle . The only hassle I find is when he drops it on my foot!

I'd go the foogoo. Stainless steel is the next best thing to glass for storing food/drinks. I still wonder about the lining in the Sigg bottles. Even though they claim it's safe, it's still essentially a plastic.

I am not sure about the Sigg bottles either. I got Klean Kanteens from greenfeet dot com (they will export here).

A lot cheaper than ones targeted to concerned parents

Well I'm married to a metallurgist and he agrees on the Klean Kanteen thing. All metals are definitely not the same and I like the research and testing done by Klean Kanteen.

Der. I had never thought of that. What a great idea. No paying for postage either.

We're using Klean Kanteen's at the moment... so far, so good. The only thing I find annoying about them is that there is no travel cover for the toddler spout. I haven't been able to track down the Foogo's here yet, but we want to get a couple of them too (some friends of mine have them and love them).
