BPA-free - a list by designdude

Options for This Page

About this list:

BPA, short for Bisphenol A, is an organic compound found in many plastics, particularly Polycarbonate, a clear material common in baby bottles. Studies of BPA have shown it to mimic estrogen, and exposure is thought to possibly result in early puberty for girls. That's the short version, but you may want to keep an eye on how much of this material your child is exposed to, and complete avoidance is not a bad option. Fortunately, those kinds of lifestyle choices are getting easier to come by.

Qualifications:

My wife reads a healthy mix of baby blogs and medical blogs.

The sippy cup--the toddler cup bridges the gap between the bottle (or breast) and a regular, open cup--can be a pretty advanced child accessory. This Nuby Gripper is designed for easy hold, with a non-drip (replaceable) spout, and it looks like a lot of fun to use. It's also entirely BPA free.

Nuby Nibbler

A genius concept that I never came across until I actually had a kid, the nibbler is a mesh sack that allows a child to suck on nutrient rich fruit and veg without the danger of choking. This Nuby version ups the safety ante by providing BPA-free materials.

Nuby Fork and Spoon Set

First to recommend

Description

Sporks seem to make a lot of sense in the junior high cafeteria, but the utensil's true calling is for feeding a toddler. This Nuby set is just the right size for a small child getting the hang of self-feeding, and a BPA-free design makes the 4-pack set even safer.

Boon Catch Bowl

4 people recommended this item

Description

Feeding is easily the most disgusting element of child-rearing for me, which makes simple items like this Catch Bowl seems so ingenious. The bowl's extended lip catches items falling from the utensils of novice eaters, and the BPA free design adds a real element of security.

Trebimbi Puppets Club Dining Set

First to recommend

Description

A dining set for young children who have mastered the art of wielding cutlery at the dinner table, this Trebimbi Puppets Club Dining Set is nearly as fun as it is functional. A BPA-free construction insures the kind of safety that a four-year-old with a knife can never quite match.
