FOUNDERS
As loving and caring parents and grandparents, we needed an easy to use, simple solution to prevent messes caused by milk and juice spills.
When spills happen in the car, on the couch, DVR, clothes, and electronic devices it often causes unnecessary frustrations; it’s frustrating for the child and the caretaker. KiddiKap was inspired by and created to minimize frustrations caused by unnecessary liquid messes. Instead of spills let’s have fun​.

OUR STORY
"I’d had it with spilled milk, juice, water, smoothies, soda…you name it. My kids and grandkids have spilled it. They’ve spilled it in the car, on the couch, carpet, DVR, clothes, electronic devices, chairs!I felt bad for my 8 kids, grandkids, and I felt worst for me! I tried every sippy cup I could find. I tried bendable straws, small cups, everything. Some worked better than others but nothing seemed to eliminate the spills and clean up.

I felt bad for my 8 kids, grandkids, and I felt worst for me! I tried every sippy cup I could find. I tried bendable straws, small cups, everything. Some worked better than others but nothing seemed to eliminate the spills and clean up.
There are 23 adorable students in my preschool, I love them like my own! As cute and sweet as they are, their motor skills are not fully developed which means they make lots of messes. Cleaning up messes means less time with the kids. But if I don’t clean up what does that teach my students? (Pic of SE and preschool students?)
Karen’s boiling point came when she was caught in a snowy whiteout with her 18-month old granddaughter, Hannah. They were crawling along the highway and Hannah had finished her sippy cup and began screaming. Karen couldn’t stop the car, so she handed Hannah a water bottle, she took one sip and spilled it all over herself! The screaming became worse and Karen could hardly handle it!
A few months later, Karen was doing her taxes when her other granddaughter, Leah, reached across the table, grabbed the bottle and spilled it all over Karen’s taxes! In frustration, she thought to herself, “what can be done about this?”
​
We needed a solution.
Sippy cups were a good solution for starters…until they weren’t!
They’re difficult to clean, they’re bulky, and my biggest pet peeve is the different parts to a sippy cup. Each cup has different sized parts that don’t fit universally! (You know what I mean don’t you.) I’d find different pieces in the dishwasher but the pieces I’d find didn’t fit the sippy cup I was trying to use, ugh!
Sippy cups are also bulky, don’t always fit in cup holders, and are difficult to clean especially that little piece that fits under the lid.
There must be a better way!
​
​We decided we had to solve this need the right way. We’ve spent the last 18 months researching, designing, engineering, prototyping, and testing different solutions. Finally, we have the answer that works for both kids and parents."
