Stainless Steel Baby Cup, Toddler Drinking Tumbler

Plastic toddler cups pick up scratches, and scratches pick up smell. This stainless steel cup takes that problem off the table. It is a simple, hard-wearing drinking tumbler for a child who has outgrown a sippy lid and is learning to drink from an open rim.

What makes it work

• Stainless steel body that will not scratch, stain or hold the ghost of yesterday milk
• Slim diameter suited to a small hand rather than an adult grip
• Rolled rim that is smooth against the mouth
• Weighted feel that helps a child judge how full the cup is
• Stands up to being dropped repeatedly on a hard kitchen floor

Best introduced once your child is drinking water at the table and ready to practise with an open cup. Expect spills at first, and start with a shallow fill. Wash in warm soapy water and dry fully to keep the finish clean.

Common questions

Why steel instead of plastic? Steel does not scratch the way plastic does, and it is those tiny scratches that trap odour and staining over time.

When should we move to an open cup? Many families start practising around twelve months. Begin at the table with a small amount of water rather than a full cup.

Does it get cold to hold? With cool water the outside will feel cool. That is normal for steel and passes quickly in the hand.
