Rating of the best children's thermoses for 2022

From the moment the thermos was invented by the German businessman R. Berger to the present day, this household item has been in constant demand. It is irreplaceable at departure on the nature, in travel. And, of course, it is very important to have a thermos with you when walking with a child. This will allow you to always have on hand food or drinks of the required temperature, which is very important for children, especially in the cold season.

What is a thermos

A thermos is a metal, glass or plastic flask soldered into an outer casing, between which there is usually a deep vacuum. It is thanks to the vacuum that it is possible to maintain a stable temperature of the food placed in it.

Glass flasks are becoming obsolete over time, because, despite their excellent heat resistance characteristics, they are very fragile and can break even with a slight impact. Modern high-quality thermoses, as a rule, are equipped with metal flasks, but you can find quite worthy products equipped with a high-quality plastic flask.

To improve the thermal insulation properties, some manufacturers lay a space between the outer and inner parts with copper foil, which prevents the passage of thermal radiation, and also make a vacuum layer not only in the flask, but also in the valve cover.

The best thermos manufacturers

When choosing a thermos, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer of the product. The market for children's thermoses is very large and replete with hundreds of different items, but most of them are companies that have relatively recently opened their production and do not have well-established and proven technologies for the production of functional, high-quality and attractively designed products.

According to customer reviews, the following four manufacturing companies are recognized as the best:

• Stanley,
• tiger,
• zojirushi,
• thermos,

Now the production of all the listed leading companies has been relocated to China in order to reduce the cost of goods, but the quality requirements and unique developments proven over decades have remained at the same highest level.

Stanley has been on the market for over a hundred years. The company was originally American and is still headquartered in Seattle.

Tiger is a Japanese company that has been on the market for 97 years. Their product range includes not only thermoses and thermo mugs, but also a large selection of all kinds of kitchen utensils.

Zojirushi is also a Japanese company, but several years younger than Tiger. Their production opened in 1948.

And the fourth company in the list of leaders - Thermos - is also from Japan. She is the youngest of all, opened only in 1989, but quickly gained popularity, which was facilitated by contracts signed with the Nissan automaker. Thermoses of the Thermos Nissan brand were very popular not only in Japan, but also in other countries.

However, new items should not be discounted either. Sometimes they are also of high quality and at the same time are sold at a price much lower than the products of leading manufacturers. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to study customer reviews regarding a particular new model and follow their recommendations when buying.

How to choose a thermos

When choosing a thermos for baby food, the main criterion should be its safety for the health of the child. Also important are its thermal insulation properties and the time for which it is able to maintain the temperature of food.

Design and decoration also have weight when choosing.It should be attractive to children, this will not only improve their appetite, but also help their overall development, if, for example, a thermos is made in the form of a fairy-tale character with whom you can play or invent stories with his participation.

Ergonomic design is also important. It should be comfortable, with ergonomic handles and a safe way to close the lid.

You can buy thermoses both in real and online stores, where they can be easily ordered online. As a rule, when selling via the Internet, sellers are interested in delivering the goods safe and sound and package them very carefully before shipping, while in ordinary stores the quality of the goods may suffer if it is dropped when unloading a car or from a store shelf. . Damage may be invisible to the eye, but if they cause depressurization of the thermos, it will no longer be able to retain heat. It is for this reason that it is not recommended to try to disassemble it. The loss of the vacuum layer will destroy its heat-saving properties.

A typical mistake when choosing is choosing the wrong type of thermos. They can be divided into three types: for food with a wide neck (up to 115 mm), for drinks with a narrow neck (about 50 mm) or universal (70-75 mm). The liquid poured into a thermos for food will cool faster, and it will be inconvenient to get food from a thermos with a narrow neck.

The second common mistake is that the volume is chosen incorrectly, and this is especially true for a thermos for a child. Choose the volume based on how much your child actually eats or drinks, without excess stock.

The third mistake is buying products from an unverified manufacturer.The high price of products from leading companies is justified by the fact that the technology for creating a deep vacuum is very complex and accounts for about 60% of the cost of goods, but it is this technology that is responsible for heat resistance.

Is a thermos bad for health?

Can storing food in a thermos harm the body? This question worries most parents. And the answer to it must first be sought in the material from which it is made.

Goods made of poor quality plastic can actually be dangerous. Exposure to high temperatures can cause the release of toxic and even carcinogenic substances, and the applied coating can crack and get into food or drinks, which is also highly undesirable.

In addition, such thermoses are characterized by very low thermal stability and, in fact, can only be used as tightly closed dishes for carrying food, because they do not perform the main function of a thermos - maintaining the temperature of food.

Even high quality steel thermoses are not suitable for all purposes. For example, it is not recommended to brew tea in it, because it quickly loses its aroma, becomes cloudy and tasteless. The same applies to herbal teas. This is due to the fact that the properties of a thermos provoke constant chemical reactions that change the taste of products for the worse.

Bacteria multiply faster in food that stays warm for a long time, which can also harm the body and cause various diseases.

Not all thermoses are suitable for washing in the dishwasher, so it is necessary to thoroughly wash the thermos by hand, preventing food residues from sticking to the walls of the flask.

Use high-quality thermoses, and let them help make your vacation or study, walk or travel even more comfortable!
