Klean Kanteen Kid's Cup with Steel Straw Lid

Name: Klean Kanteen Kid's Cup with Steel Straw Lid
Brand: Klean Kanteen

Recommended

Silicone is a primary contact surface here — your food is in direct contact with it, not just a seal.

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.

Verification: Manufacturer confirmed

Lead safety: Tested lead-free

Lead Safe Mama's independent XRF testing has consistently found Klean Kanteen's non-insulated (single-wall) stainless products lead-free. This Kid's Cup and its steel straw are single-wall, non-insulated steel - the same construction category covered by that testing - so no lead-solder sealing-dot concern applies here (that risk is specific to double-wall insulated bottles). The straw's silicone flex tip and lid were not specifically tested.

Verification: Independently lab-tested

Lead Safe Mama XRF testing states Klean Kanteen's non-insulated bottles/cups are consistently lead-free; insulated models are not recommended due to lack of testing on the sealing area

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)
