Quick answer
Use the Kanga Care SiliPint as a toddler travel cup by filling it with a beverage, securing the optional lid, and packing it in a diaper bag. Its unbreakable silicone body handles drops and temperature changes, making it ideal for outings.
Why the SiliPint works for travel
The SiliPint is made from 100% food-grade silicone that is BPA-free, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. Unlike glass or hard plastic cups, it won't shatter if dropped, making it a practical choice for toddlers and busy parents on the go.
The flexible walls are sturdy yet squeezable, with a grippy surface that helps little hands hold on. This design reduces spills during car rides or park outings, though it is not fully leak-proof without the compatible lid.
Choosing the right size for your outing
The standard 16oz SiliPint holds a full serving of water or juice, while the 14oz SiliPint Sipper version has a smaller capacity and a sipper spout for easier drinking. For short trips, the smaller size fits better in cup holders and diaper bags.
Both sizes are dishwasher safe, so you can toss them in the top rack after a day out. The silicone material does not retain odors, but thorough drying is recommended to prevent mold in the lid crevices.
How to use the SiliPint for travel and outings
- 1. Choose your cup and lid: Select a 16oz SiliPint for larger drinks or a 14oz SiliPint Sipper for smaller portions. If using the standard SiliPint, attach the compatible silicone lid to reduce spills. Check that the lid snaps on securely before filling.
- 2. Fill with an age-appropriate beverage: Pour water, juice, or milk into the cup. The silicone is safe for hot and cold liquids, but avoid carbonated drinks in the Sipper version as pressure may cause leaks. Do not overfill; leave at least half an inch of space at the top.
- 3. Pack for travel: Place the cup upright in a diaper bag side pocket or cup holder. The grippy surface helps it stay put, but you can also use a reusable wet bag for extra leak protection. If using the lid, test for leaks by tipping the cup slightly before leaving home.
- 4. Supervise toddler use: Let your child drink from the cup while seated. The squeezable walls can be compressed, so remind them not to squeeze too hard or the contents may spill. For younger toddlers, hold the cup for them until they learn the right grip.
- 5. Clean after each use: Rinse the cup and lid with warm water, then wash in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with mild soap. Silicone can hold onto greasy residues, so a thorough scrub helps. Air dry upside down to prevent moisture buildup inside the lid.
