Review Credibility: Good Nathalee Ghafouri, one of a group of mom bloggers who runs this site, sets out to find the best reduced plastic sippy cups for her 14-to-15-month-old child tester. She received a couple of samples for her testing and purchased the rest. She tested the cups mainly with water, in the high chair at snack/mealtime, and occasionally on the go.
