We were glad to see a stainless product for our LO so we weren't shy to pay the extra bucks. What we didn't expect is that the soft yellow plastic would build up mildew even when the cup is exclusively used for water. I have tried everything short of bleach soaking to get the mildew out (we aren't sure of the byproducts of soaking in bleach-outweighs the benefits of the stainless?). We even have a nursery sterilizer that doesn't put a dent in the mildew...All I can say is YUK!

I was so excited to buy this product from thermos, thinking that it would be totally worth how expensive the sippy cup is. And with everything going on with the plastic chemical in baby products, I was thrilled when I found this. I wouldnt recommend this product to anyone, for the fact that it is advertised as LEAK-PROOF and leaks more than any other sippy I have tried. It is awful. It is like they never even tested this product.I would recommend Avent Organic sippys, you can find them at Whole Foods as well as the internet. TOTALLY DISAPOINTED AND RIPPED OFF.Almost $20 for one sippy! And I purchased 2.

I was disappointed to find out that this item is manufactured in China. This really should be disclosed in the item details. I would probably have given it a five if I had not been specifically searching for a stainless product that was not from China.As a result of criticism received on my above review I find it necessary to elaborate. I purchased the Foogo by Thermos Leak-Proof SS 12 oz - Straw Bottle for my son for the same reason many parents have, a non-toxic alternative to the popular plastic products on the market. However, I also had another concern at the time of purchase. I knew I wanted a stainless steel product, the problem was I also knew I did not want one that was manufactured in China. I was concerned with the increasing number of lead tainted products being exported by the country and simply did not want a metal product from China. My problem was finding documentation on many of the stainless steel products on the market. During my research, I discovered that although Thermos has many products manufactured in China they also had a high end line that was manufactured in Malaysia. So I decided to take a chance and buy the foogo hoping that it was also from Malaysia since it had a higher price tag than the Chinese made products. I was disappointed to find out when it was delivered that it was indeed "Made in China". In an attempt to save other like minded parents the same frustrations I reviewed the product, giving it two stars and pointing out that it was manufactured in China. I then proceeded to copy my review to the remaining foogo line of product, disclosing that I had not purchased them personally but to assume that they were made in China.
