"Since we started transitioning Emmett from a bottle to a sippy cup during the day, we&amp;#039;ve gone through about 4,285 sippys. Okay, that&amp;#039;s an exaggeration. But only a slight exaggeration. I&amp;#039;m not that into plastic, especially if the liquid&amp;#039;s going to be sitting in it all day. I tried for ages to find a glass sippy, but after Emmett threw a glass Dr. Brown&amp;#039;s bottle from his stroller and shattered all over the zoo, I decided metal might be a more reasonable material. Here&amp;#039;s the sippy we settled on: The 12 ounce Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Sippy, which I chose despite the fact that they spelled &amp;quot;Klean&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Kanteen&amp;quot; with K&amp;#039;s. (Why?!)    The green part of the sippy top is a hard plastic Avent spout. After reading a ton of reviews, I swapped in the soft spouts, which Emmett definitely prefers. Here&amp;#039;s why the Klean Kanteen is my favorite sippy\u2014so far:  It doesn&amp;#039;t leak! (Praise Avent!) It doesn&amp;#039;t smell. (Unlike, say, a plastic bottle of milk that sat in the sink for a couple of days. Oops!) It&amp;#039;s easy for Emmett to hold. It&amp;#039;s durable. (It&amp;#039;s passed the thrown-from-the-stroller test time and time again. It may get a little dinged up, and if you get a colored version, the paint will chip if the bottle is thrown, but I have the grown-up version in pink and the paint is pristine. If the paint chips will bother you, just get plain stainless steel.) You can order replacement EVERYTHING without having to order the whole damn cup again. (We&amp;#039;ve lost a bunch of tops!)  If they were going to redesign it, here are some suggested improvements:  Make a smaller version. An 8 ounce bottle would be great! I would&amp;#039;ve even bought a 6 ounce starter bottle! Adjust the design so the Avent sippy handles work with the bottle, too. That would&amp;#039;ve been a big help in the beginning\u2014and the sizing is sooooo close! Design a removable wide rubber insulator strip to go around the middle, like a tube top that fastens with Velcro, perhaps? Cold liquid in a cold bottle makes for some cold baby hands! We&amp;#039;ve survived, but I bet tons of people would buy it as an add-on.  At around $15, the Klean Kanteen isn&amp;#039;t cheap. But if it continues to perform\u2014and doesn&amp;#039;t need to be replaced\u2014I&amp;#039;d say it&amp;#039;s priceless. What&amp;#039;s your baby&amp;#039;s favorite sippy?
