Update: What’s the Difference Between the Funtainer and Foogo?

I just returned from the ABC Kids Expo where I flitted around schmoozing and snapping up the inside scoop on upcoming baby feeding gear.

One product that caught my eye immediately was the newly upgraded Funtainer line.  I’ve always been a fan of the indestructable Funtainer, but one question I often hear is, “Can’t I just buy a Funtainer for my baby?”  The answer has always been NO – until now . . .

Thermos has done it again – they read my mind and created a hybrid Funtainer/Foogo straw assembly!  This means there is no longer a small straw piece attached to the outside of the Funtainer just waiting to be pulled off by your toddler.  The straw and base is a one-piece design, just like Foogo – so the Funtainer is no longer off limits to Little Ones, and busy parents have one – make that two – less pieces to keep track of – I just noticed that the Funtainer no longer needs a washer!

The new Funtainer isn’t available just yet, but will be soon.  It will be easily identifiable by the oval push-button (compared to the rectangle).  We’ll update this blog post as soon as we have a specific ETA.

P.S.  If you’re like me, you actually sneak around with a Foogo straw bottle or Funtainer for yourself . . .   Well, Thermos has created a solution to this embarrassing little dilemma and will be introducing a grown up straw bottle for us!  They come in fabulous patterns and vivid colors to boot.
