We LOVE Lifefactory!!

If you know me, it's no secret that we LOVE Lifefactory glass water bottles. I purchased a 22-Ounce bottle for myself a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love. I find myself using it in the house instead of a regular drinking glass and I consume SO much more water that way! I admit that I felt it was a bit too expensive when I was buying it, but now I realize what a great investment I made. We bought the girls (ages 5 and 3) their own 9-Ounce bottles afterwards. It took me a while to hunt down the sippy caps, but once we found them we haven't even considered using any other sippy cups for the kids! (I was fine with the solid caps, but because we mostly use sippy cups outside of the house I wanted something they could drink from in the car without worrying about flooding the vehicle!) We also recently added the 4 ounce bottle to our collection for my son, who alternates between the bottle top and the sippy top with meals (since we currently only have two sippy caps).

I know some people are hesitant about using glass with their children, but I'm quite the opposite and am hesitant about using plastic! There are so many chemicals in the stuff, and they break down, and just seem overall "cheap" to me. However, I'm also quite old-fashioned (born in the wrong century!) and ADORE anything made of glass. But the Lifefactory bottles have been AMAZING. They are so thick and sturdy, and coupled with the silicone sleeve, they do NOT break or crack easily. My children pack ours around the farm, and I can't even tell you how many times ours have been dropped (and thrown!), included on surfaces like concrete and asphalt. Yet they hold up SO well. I couldn't be happier!! (We also have KK (and another brand) stainless steel bottles for my husband, myself, and the kids, but I don't like how I can taste the metal, and I've also been reading up on nickel via stainless steel so I just feel more comfortable using glass...and when we LOVE the Lifefactory bottles so much, why not??)

So if you are looking for a sturdy, quality glass water bottle, whether for yourself or your children, I highly recommend trying Lifefactory. I have nothing negative to say about them!!
