I ordered it from Amazon, but my husband said he saw them at Target.

We also have a kid's size Camelbak bottle in stainless steel, but the kiddo doesn't like it as much.  Again, the top and straw are still plastic, but the cup itself is stainless.

Thanks for the ideas.  The ones at stainlesscups.com look like a good option for us.
