We’re very pleased to announce that this week, the first reusable glass drink bottle has hit the shores of Australia. Famous for their glass baby bottles with silicone covers, Lifefactory have ‘upsized’ the baby bottle for adults! They have removed the baby teat and added a sturdy bpa free plastic screw lid.
650ml in size, the bottle weighs under 500g empty and just over 1kg full. The base measures approx. 7cm in diameter, making it a suitable size for most cup holders and the 5.2cm wide mouth opening makes it just as easy to pop in a few ice cubes, a spoon to mix up a protein shake, a lemon wedge or two or even a diced fruit salad and a parfait spoon!
As pictured above, the Lifefactory glass water bottles come with 4 different silicone sleeve colours, are dishwasher safe and suited for cold beverages only. This water bottle is RRP in Australia is $49.95 and are available to buy online from Shop Naturally. Wholesale enquiries and stockist enquiries should be directed to the Australian distributor, Until.

The wait is over, the new Earthlust Birds & Bees bottles are in the country. Available in 2 patterns (birds & bees), these baby bottle / sippy cup combo kids contain:-
- Double wall vacuum insulated stainless steel bottle
- Baby Teat
- Soft Sippy Spout
- Travel Cap
- Handles
- Ring (without handles)
Use this bpa free baby bottle kit to easily transition from bottle feeding to a sippy cup. All plastic components are BPA Free. Replacement teats will be available in Australia later in 2010, but in the meantime, most wide-neck teats do fit these bottles. This stainless steel baby bottle is a great alternative to plastic baby bottles (for those who just don’t like plastic) & glass baby bottles (for those who break too many), and because the Birds & Bees bottle is insulated, it’s safe to feed warm milk from. Just be careful not to store warm milk for extended periods of time without checking the temperature. The official Birds & Bees website, http://www.birdsandbeesbottles.com/ suggests mothers dump milk stored for more than 4 hours without refrigeration.
Earthlust also produce a great range of Stainless Steel Water Bottles in a variety of beautiful designs & sizes in limited edition styles.
RRP – $39.95.

Are stainless steel baby bottles really much good for anything? Absolutely!
Firstly, there’s two different kinds of stainless steel baby bottles. They’re either insulated or they’re not. The stainless steel bpa free baby bottles that are insulated are suitable for warm milk as well as cold water or fruit juice. The end of May 2010 will see the introduction of the Earthlust Bird & Bees stainless steel baby bottle / sippy cup, and Shop Naturally are the first retailer in the country with the rights to preview & sell this innovative product. This insulated stainless steel bpa free baby bottle comes with removable handles, a baby teat, a soft silicone sippy teat and a protective cap. Visit Safe BPA Free Baby Bottles for your chance to win one (comp ends 30/6/10)!
Then we have the stainless steel baby drink bottles that are only single wall and not insulated. Not such a great idea for warm milk, but very useful for cold water and fruit juice. These bottles will convert from stainless steel baby bottle to stainless steel sippy cup to stainless steel drink bottle with the quick change of a lid.
Phase 1 – Stainless Steel Baby Bottle
Choose either a Klean Kanteen 12oz or ECOtanka 350ml stainless steel water bottle with and Avent adaptor as the lid. ADD a Green to Grow wide mouth teat (available in 3 different flows), or if you have an Avent baby teat at home already, they will fit just fine too (own an Avent baby bottle? Read our quick guide on finding out if your Avent baby bottle is bpa free or not). Experiment with any wide mouth baby teat if you have a draw full already, most will fit.
Phase 2 – Stainless Steel Sippy Cup
Take your Klean Kanteen or ECOtanka stainless steel baby bottle with Avent adaptor and add swap out the baby teat for an Avent sippy spout. They are available in white (6 months+) and green (12 months+). The white spout is the softer of the two. They are sold in twin packs and are available in most supermarkets & chemist shops around the country. If you live in a cave with internet access, you can buy them online, but there’s really no need to.
Phase 3 – Stainless Steel Drink Bottle
Once your child has outgrown the baby teat and the sippy spout, toss them out and add a sports cap. The smart mum will buy one at the time of the initial purchase to save on postage costs later on, but they can be purchased separately.

We just read a really interesting article at Hoax Slayer about the dangers of leaving plastic bottles filled with water in your car in the sun on a hot day. Experiments were done and the magnification of the heat through the water and the clear plastic disposable bottle left marks in the car’s upholstery in 7 SECONDS!
READ THE FULL ARTICLE
Whether or not you can actually start a fire in your car this way we really don’t know, but if you can damage the upholstery, here’s yet another reason to avoid storing clear disposable plastic water bottles in the car.
Safe alternatives should include:-
- Stainless Steel Drink Bottles (either single wall or double wall), or
- BPA Free Plastic Water Bottles that are opaque in colour
Visit BPA Free Water Bottles for Australia’s largest range of both stainless steel and bpa free plastic water bottle options.
The full range of Nathan Stainless Steel & Nathan Tritan Plastic Water Bottles can be purchased from selected quality sporting & adventure stores nationally. Visit Everest Sports to find your nearest retailer or purchase Nathan Water Bottles online from Shop Naturally.
