Thermos Funtainer Review

With all the back to school shopping going on here's a review you'll want to read before buying for your childs lunch!

I was recently asked to review Thermos® FUNtainer™.   Thermos is focused on back-to-school safety.  Consumers that visit www.thermos.com/cpsia will be able to download certificates proving their Thermos products meet all safety standards simply by entering the product UPC or product number. The downloadable Certificates of Compliance confirm that the children’s products meet CPSIA standards (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) as proven by testing in independent laboratories. 


FYI: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a controversial chemical that can be found in the lining of food cans, certain water bottles and more. Some researchers have linked the hormone-mimicking chemical to a host of issues including behavioral and developmental effects in kids. Thermos plays it safe, and has made a commitment to only manufacture products that are BPA-free.

My Review:
First off when I heard Thermos for kids...I was not expecting this!  I remember my Dads old Thermos he took to work everyday of his life!  He worked construction and he always filled that big Thermos with coffee every morning....It lasted!  I don't every remember seeing him with anything else.  It was always the heavy and sturdy green Thermos.  So I knew it was quality...but I had no idea they were so cute!

When it arrived I had an all out brawl for this!  Everyone wanted it!  Who wouldn't!  Cool vivid graphics and a neat flip top lid complete with straw!  And oh my is it heavy duty.  Stainless steel and perfectly sized for kids hands.  Best part is, I can pop it in the dishwasher for easy clean up.

The food jar is perfect for soups.  I can't wait for the cold days.   Make a nice warm pot of soup and it will stay warm for 5 hours!  The bottle keeps cold for 12!  Yeah, awesome.  Also because of its cool pop up lid, if it's dropped (and it has been!) there's no spilling.

So how has it stood up with my 3 very wild children??  Its been dropped out of the van, rolled down the concrete steps, chucked a few times and fought over....and made it out unscathed! Another thing I love about it is, I did leave it in the van a couple of days.  We couldn't find it and OH MY GAH!  You Moms know what I'm talking about.  You find a bottle left in the van under the seats (especially in AZ heat!)and when you go to open it everyone scatters! Unlike plastic where the smell sort of stays with the bottle, since these are stainless steel pop it in the dishwasher and ahh clean no lingering stank.

I would say this product is a safe bet you'll have it for years.
