Klean Kanteen Kid's Cup with Steel Straw Lid
Steel cup with a stainless steel straw and a silicone lid/flex-tip - the child drinks through steel, so the only non-steel water contact is silicone.
The verdict: Silicone only
Both the cup and the straw are 90% post-consumer recycled 18/8 stainless steel, so the child drinks through a steel straw rather than a plastic one. The straw lid itself is food-grade silicone, and the straw is topped with a soft silicone flex tip for the mouth. There is no polypropylene in the water path - the only non-steel parts touching the drink are silicone, making this one of the few genuinely silicone-only kids straw setups. A steel straw is the rare exception here; almost every kids straw bottle uses a plastic straw and a polypropylene lid mechanism.

The Klean Kanteen 10oz Kid's Cup paired with the Kid's Cup Straw Lid. It's a cup form factor with a molded-silicone lid that holds the steel straw - the child sips through the straw's soft flex tip. Klean Kanteen rates the lid splash-proof rather than fully leakproof, so it can leak if tipped or shaken and isn't ideal thrown loose in a bag. Best for kids who can handle a cup.
Pros
- Both cup and straw are recycled 18/8 steel
- Dishwasher safe; straw is easy to clean and replace
- Steel straw is easier to keep clean than a narrow plastic one
Cons
- Splash-proof only, not leakproof - can leak if tipped or shaken
- Cup form factor (with lid), not a sealed sport bottle
- Silicone lid and flex tip need periodic replacement
Notes
- Straw Lid fits the 10oz Kid's Cup and 10oz Cup
- Sold as cup plus separately available straw lid (also sold in 2-packs)
