Contigo Autoseal Kids Cups 9 ounce, Blue / Green, (Pack of 2) Review

Contigo Autoseal Kids Cups  9 ounce, Blue / Green, (Pack of 2)

We have had these mugs for almost a year and they have seen daily use. I LOVED them until recently. No valves to clean, no leaks, no problem! But then a month or so ago I happened to look closely at the inner rubber seal as I was washing them. I usually press the button and let warm soapy water go through the lid, as recommended, to clean them. This time I happened to notice the part of the seal that goes underneath the plastic edge when it is sealed. You can only see it when pressing the release button and looking down into the sippy hole from the top. There was black mildew all along the lip of that rubber seal. On closer inspection, I turned the lid over and looked inside and could see more underneath. I tried removing it with toothpicks, soaking it in baking soda and warm water as the Contigo site recommends, and even a brief soak in a bleach solution (not recommended, but this was my last resort). Nothing worked. The next time I filled it, I could see black particles floating in the water. Disgusting. The gasket can be removed and cleaned, which I had previously done, but there is no way that I have found to clean the inner seal. The automatic seal is great - except for the fact that it never thoroughly dries even when properly cleaned, since it is always closed unless the button is pressed. Now I'm wondering how long my child was ingesting mildew, and need to find some replacement cups. The company website says it will only replace or refund purchases made directly from their company and I don't want to pay return shipping for a partial refund through Amazon. Unless someone has a solution for this problem, I would no longer recommend these cups.

What happens when they outgrow their sippy cups but they don't outgrow spilling? How about a kids mug they can't spill even if they try? How about a mug that's cool enough for the kids, with the performance moms and dads are looking for? autoseal is cooler than a sippy cup, but impossible to spill and 100-percent leak-proof. Those are pretty bold claims, but they are what autoseal is all about.The autoseal Kids Mug is the perfect mug for your 4 to 12 year old. They may outgrow their sippy cups, but they never outgrow spilling.

To- Go Ware 2-Tier Stainless Lunch Box Review

To- Go Ware 2-Tier Stainless Lunch Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought 2 tier and 3 tier versions for my kids and I thought the 3 tier would be better for my son in that he eats more. BOY was I wrong! The 3 tier has 3 tiers but the tiers are tiny! I am glad I got this 2 tier because he took that and my daughter uses the 3 tier. I can barely fit her half sandwich in one of the tiers.
All in all very well made very well and easy to clean. The clips are a little tight for younger than 6 year olds' to open so they mat need some help opening them. The only other bump is what to do with the juice box. To-Go Ware Two Tier Stainless Steel Lunch Box with Sidekick Condiment Tiffin - New Design!

I've never used this type of water bottle before, so this was my first time trying it out. I thought I'd buy something less expensive and see how it pans out, and I saw this deal. 2 for the price of 1! It's definetly a great deal, but I do have to say that this isn't made of quality. I even question it's claim to be stainless steel because it looks cheaply made inside, but since it hasn't been proven to not be, I trust it is. After tasting the water that I left alone for more than half a day, the water tasted like metal. All in all, you get what you pay for!

I bought these cups for my two daughters (ages 3 & 5) for Christmas. They are very sturdy and have a neat 3-D type hologram image of the cats, so they look like they are moving as the light hits the cup at different angles. Very cute!

Takeya 2-Piece Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Set with Silicone Handles, Avocado/Olive, 66-Ounce and 25-Ounce Review

I purchased this product recently after reading about it in a cooking magazine. This beats my other iced tea makers hands down! The others are more a hassle, this is simple, drop in the loose tea, water and steep it ~ done! For anyone that is a serious iced tea drinker I'd suggest using another, larger pitcher than the 66 ounce unit that comes with this product. For us that's just a few glasses of tea and then we needed to make more. So I purchased another glass pitcher here on Amazon that is larger and we keep them both going with tea.
You will love this iced tea maker for the simple, clear (never cloudy) great tasting tea it will make!

Acrylic Heavy Base 10 Oz Juice Glass Review

Acrylic Heavy Base 10 Oz Juice Glass

I bought a set of 18 oz glasses for outdoor dining and needed some smaller ones for the grandchildren. These are the perfect size. The glasses are perfectly clear, feel good in the hand and won't break so they're especially good for the kids, both inside and out. Acrylic glasses are BPA free so I'm happy about that. They do not add any plastic'y taste to the contents, even after the contents have sat in them for some time. I left an unfinished glass of water on my table last night and it tasted just as fresh this morning. These do well in the dishwasher (I have only used the top shelf) and have a very slightly indented base that helps with stability. I highly recommended these glasses for al fresco dining and kids anytime.
