Cheers to Reflo Smart Cup!

Moving a baby from a bottle to a cup is a big milestone… it’s also a messy one! As children learn to swig with a sippy, parents learn which carpet cleaner works best for the inevitable stains that results from loose caps and hard throws. Then once the sippy cup is mastered, parents have to take on the Herculean task of teaching their rugrats how to drink from a real cup. Kiddos can now drink with the big gulps thanks to the Reflo Smart Cup.

Reflo is the ideal transitional cup for toddlers because it avoids trappings of the typical cup like buttons or seals or valves. The patent-pending Reflo insert controls the beverage flow anywhere along the cup’s rim at almost any angle (and anyone with a toddler knows they can come up with some new ones). The trick is: it’s actually an open cup! Wanting a way to teach his toddlers to use a real cup, Reflo Smart Cup was developed by a Councilman from Ohio, Pete Draganic. When an appropriate alternative didn’t present itself, Pete went after one himself. It didn’t come easily, but after 14 years of trial and error, he perfected his idea and the Reflo Smart Cup was born.

Tots will love drinking from a big-kid cup while parents will love the spill proof alternative. The cups come in four translucent cup colors: Red Violet, Blue, Green and Clear. The translucence is perfect for parents who want to measure and fun for kids to actually see their progress. Each Reflo Smart Cup holds up to 6 ounces of whichever pulp-free beverage the little one chooses. Parents can even add ice without choking concerns: the Reflo insert will keep cubes in the beverage and away from little mouths.

BPA-free, phthalate-free and dishwasher safe, the Reflo Smart Cup is designed for safety and hygiene with no moving parts to trap dirt and germs. It’s also conveniently dishwasher safe.

As word of the Reflo Smart Cup has spread, uses have grown beyond just children. Elderly and disabled persons are using this virtually indestructible drinking device. Here’s to new business at www.reflo.net
