Klean Kanteen BPA-Free Bottles - Ben and Jen Love Them!
Filed under: Celeb Parents, Baby Essentials, Gear Guides: Babies
Like so many other concerned parents, you tossed your kids' Nalgene bottles when you heard about potentially dangerous BPA in the plastic. But now summer is coming, with its long hot days, and you're still scrambling for a replacement. Plastics with BPA are bad for your health, but disposable bottles are bad for the planet, and most of the safe options are just not all that cute.Right?
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have found a solution: They've bought Violet -- and themselves! -- Klean Kanteen water bottles, to tote their drinks safely and stylishly.
Klean Kanteen bottles are BPA free and are made of high quality, food-grade stainless steel, rather than plastic. This means that not only are they good for your kids, they're good for the environment as well. But for the people at Kleen Kanteen, that's not the whole story. Klean Kanteen is a company that is truly walking the eco-friendly walk: "Ensuring our office paper is 100% post-consumer content, providing hand and dish soaps that are fair trade and eco-friendly, using Energy Star-certified office equipment – these are just a few of our earth-in-mind internal operations choices."
Klean Kanteen bottles are available in a range of sizes, from a kid-friendly 12 ounce sippy cup ($17.95; pictured here) to an adults-only wine carafe ($20.95). Because no matter what you're toting, you should be able to carry it in safe and stylish bottle, just like Ben and Jen.

Nicola said...Thermos also makes a great range of completely safe drinking containers for toddlers, children, and adults. They are cheaper, larger, and (in our family's opinion) superior to the trendy Kleen Kanteen. You can often pick them up at your local Walmart or Target too. Much more available than their Kleen Kanteen counterparts.

Mary Sullivan said...Thanks for the Thermos tip! Checked it out online, and the Intak plastic BPA-free bottles look good. Nalgene actually makes one now that's a little cheaper--non-leeching plastic at 8.95 each, or 7.95 if you buy in bulk. I get them from reusablebags.com. But factor in shipping charges and it may come out the same as a Target run for the Thermos kind.
We've used Kleen Kanteen. I like supporting a company that's walking the talk, and the bottles are okay. But there are a few problems: They're SO pricey. They get heavy when filled. And the ones we have are kind of noisy to drink from, so not a great kids' bottle to keep on the desk at school.
regards,
Mary

Rachel said...We are an online retailer of earth friendly bottles and Klean Kanteens are our best sellers. They grow with children because you can update the sippy to a sports or loop top. In our experience with our 3.5 year old, they are vastly more durable than safe plastic.
Readers might also be interested to know that Klean Kanteen just won an Ocean Heroes award for their work to be eco-friendly in every aspect of their company and charitable work with ocean organizations.
Be well,
