Safe Products For Healthy Babies and Families-Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is SAFE, UNBREAKABLE, LIGHT, SCRATCH RESISTANT, FREE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS ( PVC, Phthalates, BPA, Lead, Nitrosamine and melamine http://www.inhabitots.com/2009/02/19/is-melamine-hard-plastics-hidden-monster/) and ECO FRIENDLY. It is 100% recyclable. More than 50% of stainless steel products come from old remelted stainless steel scrap. Stainless steel products’ cost is very low considering lifetime of use.
Stainless Steel has been around since the early 20th century and is now used in a myriad of applications around the world ranging from cutlery to the kitchen sink, cookware to cars, it is the first choice for hospitals and of course, water bottles and food storage containers in many different sizes for babies, kids and adults.
Technically stainless steel is steel that should stain ‘less’ and not corrode.Stainless Steel is safe for babies, kids and the environment. It is a Eco friendly material and the best choice for storing your child’s snacks.
Safe Stainless Steel feeding products as Think Baby, Thermos, Lunch Bots are products not just for babies. All of these are extremely useful sets, bottles and storage containers that can be used for kids of any age. I myself use Think Baby storage containers at home for storing leftovers instead of plastic containers. I put mine and my daughter’s snacks in Thermos Jars because these are insulated to inhibit bacteria growth by keeping food and drinks the right temperature. Summer For Kids proudly carries Think Baby, Thermos and soon we will have the perfect stainless steel plates and bowls made by Lunch Bots.
To understand more what stainless is: the base element in stainless steel is iron (Fe), and to this chromium (Cr) is added, which makes it into a corrosion-resistant alloy. A small amount of carbon (C) is often included and Nickel (Ni) may be added. Other alloying elements such as molybdenum (Mo) or titanium (Ti) may be added to improve heat- and corrosion-resistance properties.
Stainless Steel is self-repairing. The chromium forms an invisible layer over the iron to protect it from air and water. If the surface is scratched, the layer quickly rebuilds itself in the presence of oxygen. This is why high quality stainless steel will not rust.
There are many types of stainless steel. The grade 304 products we carry are designated as either 18/8 or 18/10. The ‘18′ refers to the percentage of chromium in the stainless steel, and the ‘8′ or ‘10′ the percentage of nickel. Both are high quality stainless steels. The chromium and nickel are what make stainless steel corrosion-resistant, and increase its strength, durability, and, in the case of nickel, also its temperature resistance. There is no major difference in the mechanical properties – the strength – of 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steels. It is practically irrelevant. Stainless steel grades with very little nickel do exist (e.g., grade 430) and cost less, but they are considered lower quality because of their decreased corrosion- and temperature-resistance.
Stainless Steel Storage Containers and Bottles should be your number 1 choice in your household to keep your babies and kids safe.
with love and always because Summer For Kids cares

I love stainless! Because it is easy to maintain and stainless steel provides a modern and attractive appearance.
Not only stainless is safe for kids, but it’s durable as well, unlike plastic and other materials, besides it looks really good.
