"Hi, my name is Veronica Baragas, with mywigglesandgiggles.com, and I'd like to share with you, how to buy BPA-Free Sippy Cups. First off, one of the main clues that gives it away, is if you check the bottom of your sippy cup, you can find the number five, or the PP, that's in Pete or Paul, so definitely look for those on the bottom. They are definitely easy to find nowadays. You can also look for cups that are a little bit more of the milky shade. Clear plastic cups are not really the way to go anymore, so definitely find one that is BPA-Free, and take the time to ask a couple of family and friends to find what the best sippy cups for them are, and you can find them at your local store, and I think even some of the ones that you have now, if you've bought recently, and they are not BPA-Free, a lot of manufacturers will trade in for whatever ones you have, so just look into it a little bit. Research, maybe find your local store, and see whether your Target or Wal-Mart, or your Toys R Us, or Babies R Us, one of those that will have, that should carry them nowadays."
