    Hi Everyone - just wondering how often you replace your child's drinking cup (for school). My daughter has a few stainless steel ones (Thermos brand) but the straws are plastic. Do I need to replace them??

    Good question now sure. If you are talking about funtainers i would wait ( so costly to me...yet worth it though) ,especially considering you have 3 of them, as long as you wash them proper i wouldn't worry too much about it. But that's just my opinion.

    Depends how long ago you got them as well i guess. dd's first cup lasted a year before the lid wouldn't close anymore and i got her tinkerbell cup around last july and i plan on it lasting as long as possible!

    They usually have replacement straws so I'd look for those. Anytime I buy a cup that's a straw style, I make sure to buy a pack of straws at the same time (so I know I have them).

    Lately I've opted for the stainless steel kind without the straw - much easier to clean and lasts longer than plastic.

    My DS usually loses them before I need to think about replacement!

    I recently bought a pair of those coffee mugs from Costco that are leak proof. He claimed one of them (but not to take to school, because he'd lose it). Mostly we just put water in it, but it's great that it's leak proof!

    Thanks - I've never seen the straws for Thermos brand but will keep an eye out. DD has had her school cup since Sept. I guess it won't hurt to keep it until the end of the school year. Her backpack is another story ... completely destroyed.

    lol @ the backpack this...you and i are in the same boat ! On Thursdayday she came home with a broken zipper on her backpack to! I said i'm not buying another backpack when there's like what a month left of school! I think I'll just find a way to make the zipper work somehow,lol. Unless you can find some cheap backpacks right now that is. Sent her to school with a plastic bag on Friday,haha.

    My DS is the same with backpacks. He drags them on the ground, the side pockets are both out of his current one. I've threatened him with having to take a Sobeys bag instead of a backpack!
