Pura Stainless Steel Kiki Infant Bottle

The Pura Stainless Steel Kiki Infant Bottle is a popular choice among mothers who are leery of plastic. Parents who switch back and forth between bottles and sippy cups seem to particularly like the stainless-steel bottle. Since it's compatible with a variety of nipples, parents can experiment to see which one works best for their child, without having to purchase a variety of different bottles.

Stainless steel may be the safest

There are many possible safety advantages to stainless steel over the traditional glass or plastic bottles. They cannot break, crack or splinter, something which glass is particularly prone to, but can happen to plastic bottles as well. It is the only plastic-free infant bottle on the market. Since it contains no BPA, can't break and is very hygienic, there's not much that could make it unsafe. There are no small parts to present a choking hazard.

Simple design is easy to use

Pura Stainless Steel Kiki Infant Bottles are dishwasher-safe, and the wide opening makes them easy to clean by hand. Volume markings on the inside of the bottle make it easy to see how much milk a baby drinks.

Nipple selection makes this a versatile bottle

One of the most popular features of Pura Stainless Steel Kiki Infant Bottles is their ability to accept a variety of nipples, including BornFree, Dr. Brown's Wide Neck and Mam nipples. This gives parents with children who have colic or other issues, such as cleft palate, that require a special nipple to have a choice. Parents can even experiment with different nipples to see which works best for their baby. The bottles come with a Pura silicone nipple and travel cover. There are three Pura nipple flows: slow, medium and fast.

Safe as it may be, stainless steel is inherently cold and slippery. The painted surface of the bottle helps somewhat, but even better is the optional silicone sleeve (*Est. $9) that makes it easier to hold and helps to dampen noise when dropped.

Parents also like the fact that this bottle can transition into a sippy cup later on, lessening the  overall cost of these relatively expensive bottles over time.

The bottom line

Many parents worry about the potentially harmful effects of chemicals in plastics, even those deemed safe, but don't want to worry about breakage issues with glass bottles. The Pura Stainless Steel Kiki Infant Bottle solves both of these problems and may just be the baby bottle of the future.
