Where to get PVC free drink bottles?

Where can I get PVC free drinking bottles. Want little one for toddler & larger one for adults.

Found out that the normal water bottles are made of PVC which means that they release harmful chemicals. So me reusing the bottles is not good because of the PVC. Can anyone confirm this to be true?

Is it true that PVC is banned from all products for under 3 year old?

Try:

Scroll about 3/4 the way down and you'll see a list of recycling codes that tell you what type of plastic your bottle is made from, (PVC is a 3).

Your are correct that there is uncertainty in how safe PVC products are for use in foodstuffs, kid's toys etc.

Polythene is a safe alternative (2 or 4) or PET (1) that is used for fizzy drink bottles.

Can you use glass bottles? Not sure is this is good for the toddler but certainly for adults. I have a glass water bottloe (Belu) that I refil and reuse.

Also I use NUK glass baby feeding bottles you can buy them from greenbaby.com, they are different colours, look cool and don't transmit any sex changing hormones to my baby son when they are heated.

I'd like to know of an alternative material for toddlers for when my little one starts being weaned off the bottles
