Safe and Sippy

So you're doing the fall clearing of all your clutter...Or you should be...And you realize you've got not only the thousand requisite food storage containers without matching lids (or vice versa), but also a thousand mismatched sippy-cup pieces. Here's a great solution for al least one of those problems! Rooware has introduced a new plant-based plastic product called the Roocup to their eco-friendly tableware collection. These great cups make it easy for children to learn how to drink from a regular cup the right way, but without all the spills and mess. They also feature adorable snap-on ear handles––perfect for little hands to hold. And when your little one no longer needs the trainer top or the handles, simply remove them and continue enjoying your cup. Roocups eliminate the need to buy a new cup for every developmental stage. BPA-free, Phthalate free and PVC free; made in the USA ($14.95). Visit  http://www.rooware.com

Parents of children with allergies can feel a little more safe and secure knowing their kids are better protected against unwanted allergens when they wear or use AllerMates products away from home. Send them off to school, daycare, parties, sleep-overs and play dates with the benefit of knowing that their caregivers have been alerted to allergies and have visible reminders. AllerMates products are based on 15 fun, original characters that represent the most common allergies: peanut, nut, gluten/wheat, milk, egg, shellfish, penicillin, insect sting, latex, pollen, fish, soy, sesame, cat, and the newest––asthma. AllerMates are hypo-allergenic, nickel, and latex free and have passed rigorous safety standards and testing. The wristbands are adjustable and fit most children. These fun products make having allergies less of a drag! Visit www.allermates.com and www.diapers.com
