Sippi Kids Brings Its Kids' Water Cartons to Amazon After Passing 250 Retail Locations

Sippi Kids, a mom-founded children's water brand, launched on Amazon after expanding into more than 250 retail locations within months of its debut, PRLog reported. The brand sells 100% purified water in a kid-friendly carton with a straw, with no sugar, flavors or additives.

What Sippi Kids Put on Amazon

Sippi Kids was founded by New Jersey moms Amanda Kutner, Carli Bybel and Gina Melnick. The carton format is aimed at children, and the company positions the product as a simple alternative to traditional children's beverages. The Amazon listing lets families nationwide buy the brand regardless of local retail distribution, and Sippi Kids is also available through select retailers nationwide.

"We created Sippi Kids because we were looking for this exact product as moms and couldn't find it," said Amanda Kutner, Co-Founder and CEO of Sippi Kids. "Parents shouldn't have to choose between the convenience their kids love and the simplicity they want. Launching on Amazon is such an exciting milestone for us because it means families across the country can now have Sippi Kids delivered right to their door."

Kutner leads the company as CEO. Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Carli Bybel brings a digital community reaching millions of consumers, while Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer Gina Melnick contributes more than a decade of consumer packaged goods experience.
