Aprica Milk Bottles & Toddler Cups

Comment Published at 23:4823:488 comments8 comments333 Visits333 VisitsReport

I am back in Singapore having my one month holidays. Just sent all my son's Avent polycarbonate milk bottles for recycling as there is a campaign here. Went shopping on Sunday and browsed at a few brands of milk bottles and toddler straw cups. Finally bought this brand - Aprica. It is a Japanese brand. Even the Royal Family in Japan uses this brand. I can see from Aprica's thick childcare handbook/catalogue that a lot of work has been put in for this area and I certainly can put my trust in their product range. (My son is also currently using their stroller which is ultra light-weight for somebody not very strong like me).

The milk bottles and toddler straw cups are made of polypropylene which is a safe plastic that does not leak Bisphenol-A. Not sure if Aprica is available in most countries though. I know they are at least in USA, Italy, Taiwan, Japan and Singapore. Aprica's bottles are compatible with Dr Brown's teats as both brands worked together in a partnership before.

Just curious if anybody else besides me used these bottles before...Anyone??

The toddler straw cup is made of awesome safe plastic (polypropylene #5).  One hiccup from using this cup is that if my son turns it upside down, the juice or water does leak out, so supervision is required when using this cup. :)

The milk bottles are still fantastic.  I love them! :0

Aprica products are all wonderful- especially their stylish strollers! They are, however, an Italian company, not a Japanese one, which is, imho, why they create such beautiful things :)

Oh really? Are they? How do you find out they are Italian and not Jap? I always thought they are Jap.

I think it's Japanese. Excerpt from their site: This movement was proposed by three men, Dr. Jushichiro Naito, Mr. Osamu Tezuka and Mr. Kenzo Kassai in order to realize their dream --> those names sound Japanese to me.

How do you find it using the Aprica products? Hopefully since it's got the Japanese Royal Family's seal of approval it should be good.

Mmm... now that it's lunch time I'm feeling hungry and feel like some good Singaporean/Malaysian food.

Yeah that's one of the bad things about countries around the equator, it can be really hot and humid! Thank God for air conditioning eh?
