Stainless Steel Water Bottles

So anyone who knows someone or IS someone with small kids heard all about the bisphenol-A fiasco. That's where all the manufacturers of baby bottles and sippy cups wanted us to have the clearest, glass-like plastic bottles ever, so they used this chemical to prevent the plastic from yellowing or clouding. Only, who cares if the plastic isn't clear if everytime it heats up it's releasing harmful chemicals into our kidlets bodies?!

So everyone and their brother has been producing stainless steel waterbottles of late. You can go to one of the more shi-shi specialty children's stores and find them for $25 bucks a pop (or more). You can go to an outfitters store and do the same. You can get them insulated.

OR you can get an email from Kitchen Stuff Plus like I did yesterday and see a special for 33% reduction in price, to get kid-friendly sized 500 ml water bottles for $8.00, and 750 ml for $10.00. So I went on the way home and grabbed a blue one for Sarah, a red one for James, and a 750 blue one for me.

The only problem is the cap is plastic. BUT it isn't clear plastic and doesn't have the evil 7 on it. And I really think you can't get entirely away from plastic. But if it's just the cap, and liquid isn't in contact with it all the time, presumably there is less leeching??? Alas. Win some and lose some so they say, right?

So now the kids have new water bottles, and we can finally do that big purge of plastic plastic and more plastic. We DID get rid of a little crappy bisphenol A laden Princess sippy cup that was just bad to the bone!!!! So, anyone else big on the Stainless Steel Option???
