Generally, we're pretty big fans of our BPA-free Nalgene, especially the wide mouth and the ability to swing it around/drop it/throw it in a bag without worry of it breaking. But we've been looking for something like it in glass. Look no further: now we're pining for one of these pretty glass bottles from Lifefactory, too.
We love the idea of drinking from glass rather than plastic (BPA-free or not) or recycled aluminum (did anyone else see that episode of The Office?), but carrying a Mason jar around with us, especially given the number of times we've dropped our water bottle, was not a viable option.
These purportedly durable and good-looking glass bottles with a silicone wrap seem like a great option. Lifefactory makes glass bottles for adults and babies. How cute would it be to have matching reusable, eco-friendly, safe bottles? Very cute.
Here's another plus side: bottle and sleeve are both dishwasher-safe, and can be cleaned together. The 22-ounce beverage bottles come in six different colors and cost about $22. Baby bottles are offered in two different sizes and seven different colors ($12.49–$14.49).

Another product made in China.....
This product is not made in China. The glass bottle is made in France, the sleeve in US and the cap in Europe.
It says right on the company's website that...
"The bottles and sleeves are made at a factory in China that adheres to safe labor and fair wage policies. It is supervised by a team we have contracted from the U.S. to ensure that all practices are enforced and that FDA-approved materials are used. Our silicone nipples are made at a factory in France with comparable labor standards."
So, yup, another product made in China!
Go look on the website again. It was updated to describe the water bottles.
I'm definitely a fan. I've been making it a point to shop for items in glass bottles and jars at the store instead of items in plastic bottles or containers. Sometimes that may mean extra expense, but I think it's worth it. Glass can be recycled over and over, but plastic eventually reaches a point of no return in the recycling process. Should I find myself in need of another reusable water bottle, I'll be picking up one of these!
