Old news but still maybe useful

Hi again! Wow, it's been a while since I posted to this. Well, let's see if I can do better at staying up to date.

This may be old news for people, or it may not. There's some kind of law against selling toddler sippy cups that hold more than 12 ounces of liquid in the USA. Ridiculous as that is, we're stuck with it, even those of us who would like our sippy cups to be larger than that.

Well, the solution is to buy a sippy cup lid that fits onto a larger cup or bottle. At Klean Kanteen, they sell stainless steel sports bottles of various sizes and colors. Since they're stainless steel, they can't pick up the taste of whatever's in them like plastic can, and they're very durable. However, they aren't particularly well insulated (insulating sleeves sold separately), and you can't microwave them.

But the important thing is that they also sell a sippy cup version of their bottle, which is really just the 12-ounce bottle with a special lid that accommodates an Avent sippy cup spout. But all their bottles have the same size opening on top. Also, they sell this special lid separately. So all you really have to do is order one of their sports bottles in whatever size and color you want, then go to their Accessories page and buy a sippy cup lid. You can have a sippy cup of any size and color they sell!
