Green Me: Kleen Kanteen Review & Giveaway

Posted by 177 Comments

*Update*

This giveaway is now closed.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  The winner is Jessica.  Congratulations!

Now that the word is out on BPA, parents are seeking out plastic alternatives.  Bisphenol A (BPA) can cause negative health effects, even at low doses, by mimicking the body’s own hormones.  I was fortunate enough to have read about BPA before purchasing bottles for my son.  I have noticed a significant increase in the number of companies who have committed to manufacturing BPA-free alternatives, particularly in the last two years.

Thanks to Kay Green at My Precious Kid, my son and I were able to try out Kleen Kanteen’s 12 ounce sippy. Unlike other sippy’s we’ve used, this one is made of 100% recyclable, high-quality, food- grade stainless steel.  I was concerned that it might be too heavy (it only weighs 4 ounces when it’s empty) for my son but he was able to carry it around without a problem!  The sippy has a tapered, slim design which makes it easy for little hands to grasp.  Kleen Kanteen’s special adapter works with Avent’s patented sippy cup spout (also BPA-free).  I initially thought it was going to be too hard for my son to drink from but he hasn’t had any difficulties!  There are two things I absolutely love about Kleen Kanteen’s sippys:  liquids stay cold for hours and the spout does not leak.

I’m never surprised to find one of my son’s sippy cups hiding under the television or in his toy box or some other place I probably won’t find until we move out.   A couple of nights ago I left my son’s sippy cup on the counter with water in it.  If you can believe it, it was still cold (and we only keep our thermostat at 78 degrees).  I’ve never experienced this with any cup or bottle I’ve used.

Another thing I’ve given up on is the continuous use of stain remover on our carpets.  Several times a day my son spills food or liquids on the carpet.  While Avent does not guarantee that their sippy spouts are leak-free, I haven’t had one leak from the sippy or the spout since we’ve been using it.

Kleen Kanteen’s sippys and the Avent spouts are dishwasher safe and can be purchased from My Precious Kid for $17.95-$19.95 (depending on your color preference).

Win It!  My Precious Kid has offered to give away one Kleen Kanteen twelve ounce sippy with 2 Avent spouts!  Head on over to My Precious Kid and take a look around.  Come back here and leave me a comment indicating another product you love from her site.  Comments will close on November 1, 2008 at 10 pm PST and I will announce the winner here the following day.

  12. I think the travel wristbands would be great for when we go on vacation! Not all theme parks offer wearable ID info.

  23. I know it seems simple and boring, but I really like the seat belt adjuster. Kids are always complaining about that and it is a really good idea 🙂

  28. the magnetic locks — need one of those now for one of our cabinet doors that my son figured out how to open (with a regular child lock) yesterday. yikes!

  31. You might laugh but I like the Toilet lid lock as my little girl keeps opening the toilet lids and sticking her hands in the water. It’s her thing at the moment, I have to buy some of these. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  35. Planning a trip to Disney and just found something to calm my fears, the ID BRACELET. A definate must with a toddler.

  38. When warm weather rolls around again I am definitely coming back for one of those COOL CAR SEAT COVERS. Yeah! no more hot buckles on the car seat. Thanks for the giveaway.

  39. We have been doing some basic signing with our 2nd born but want to do a better job with this 3rd one – the sign language cards look great!

  44. I like the milk bands- Breastfeeding Bracelets. Especially in the first couple of months when you are exhausted and don’t evn know if it is morning or night – these would be very helpful!

  47. I recently bought the Name Labels for Sippy Cups for both of my girls. With them being only 19 months apart, they do everything together and if I’m not around people don’t know which sippy cup is who’s. Plus, I bought two different colors so my girls know who’s is who’s even though they can’t read. Wonderful!!

  51. The Potty Training Sticker Kit looks great! We are on the verge of switching over to a big potty and my son is all about stickers. Thanks!

  59. I also love the folding potty seat, my daughter has been potty training and when we leave the house she hates the big toilets and how it feels like she will fall in. I have wanted the kleen kanteen for the longest, this would be perfect. Thanks

  66. How great! We would love one of these. Another product on her site that I’m currently debating on buying… the ergo carrier. Have heard such good things about it. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!

  72. I’d like to buy the Stranger Danger DVD to use with my students at school for social skills class. Thanks! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com

  75. Wow! There’s alot of great stuff on that site! I think the Child Locator’s are pretty cool, also the name labels for sippy cups and the Lost tattoos.

    Reply

  77. the KIDS PLACEMAT – Table Topper To Go would really come in handy. Tables are so germy and gross when we go out to eat.

    Reply

  86. I also love the ergo. I’ve heard great things about this carrier and would love to have one.

    I also would love to have a Klean Kanteen for the little ones. I have a large adult size one and the girls are always wanting a drink from it. They’d love to have one of their own.

    Reply

  88. Great giveaway! Another product I’d love is the ERGO baby carrier. My 18 month old, at just 20 pounds, still fits in my sling, but I’m sure we’d both be more comfortable with an ERGO.

    Reply

  90. What a great site she has! I love the car seat ID card! I heard of this concept before, and it makes great sense!

    I would love to win a Kleen Kanteen! I have heard oodles of great things about this safe sippy cup!

    Thanks for the contest and chance to win!

  93. The child safety pack is perfect because it’s something I’ve been meaning to get around to and haven’t yet!

    Reply

  116. The Toddler backpack: child safety harness backpack sounds great. My nephew has energy to spare and he is getting too independent to carry or keep in the stroller all the time when we are out. He hit the terrible twos early and shows no sign of leaving them any time soon. I love him but sometimes I get tiered just watching him.

  119. One thing I’d really like to try is their Wireless Door/Window Alarms by GE . I’ve been trying to find ways to make my house safer. I need the toilet lock too! My 18 month old twins are into everything!

    Reply

  120. I love the Baby Cubes. I can’t wait to make my own baby food! He just started solids and has only had cereal… On to veggies!

    Reply

  142. I love the GoGo Kidz Travelmate – Car Seat Stroller. We’re expecting to travel internationally when our baby is still young and that would make navigating the airport so much easier!

    Reply

  148. I really like the personalized dog tags. I’d like to be able to put one of these on my oldest daughter’s backpack. (On the inside – names on the outside of stuff freaks me out.)

  158. the medical id bracelets… my dd needs something and I like that I can put so much info on them… wiicked13 [at] yahoo [dot] com
