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 :)
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.
Hey Angieh, we are having a fine time here...enjoying all the scrumptious food..except the humid weather....wish some of the rain here can be transferred to Australia which is experiencing drought..Take good care ya....
