Sippy Cup: Roundup
Now that Freida has learned how to open and close her Crocodile Creek water bottle (which, by the way, dents annoyingly easily!), I’m chucking/storing some of our old sippy cups. Thought I’d give a little roundup of the best (and worst) of the bunch…
1. Weil Baby Training Cup $9.99 – Featuring Dr. Weils award winning BPA/EA free with AirWave™ technology, the design makes this cup nice to carry, the cap makes it sanitary.
2. Playtex My First Sipster $5.99 – Hands down, the most efficiently leak-free cup on the market, be it rolling around the back seat of the car, or neglected upside down at the bottom of my diaper bag!
3. Thermos Foogo Sippy Cup $16.00 – Vacuum insulation makes this cup perfect for keeping milk cold, and keeping tea warm.
4. mOmma Sippy Cup $13.25 – This little digit is definitely the Maserati on the playground; it’s wobbly nature means the spout remains upright even when chucked into the sandbox! Plus, all cups/caps/spouts are interchangeable making bottle to cup transition that much easier.
5. Boon Fluid Sippy Cup $5.99 – This one is surely more about the cup than the “sippy”; the spout leaks easily. And while it looks like some futuristic ergonomic design…it is actually quite difficult to grasp.
6. Munchkin Mighty Grip Training Cup $4.00 – The most frustrating “leak proof” cup out there!! This cups spout is so soft, than when you bend it slighty, it’s contents pours out! Took soaking through a bed sheet, and finding puddles on my floor before I finally caught Freida in the “bending” act.
Feel free to let me know if I missed any other great/awful sippy cups out there… Which cups work best for you and your brood?
We love the Rubbermaid juiceboxes. :)
:) simplicity and minimalism!
We liked the “NUK Gerber BPA Free Fun Grips Soft Starter Spill Proof Cup” best. It’s actually spill proof, it’s very inexpensive, and we found the valve much easier to clean (and sturdier too) than the Playtex you mention, which is my runner-up;-)
thanks daria!
i’ve never tried that one – i’ll check it out!
Avent Sippy Cups are insanely leakproof…
never tried that either – but i love the avent bottle system! im sure their sippy cups are great as well! thanks
The Beaba from Williams Sonoma is terrible! Leaks a lot and my 10 month old (who I think is a child prodigy but I’m sure is not really..) figured out how to snap the top off to pour out the ENTIRE content of the cup! All that fun for a whopping $15! Will try some of the ones you posted..
ha! thanks for that info – love the beaba babycook, I figured the sippy cup is probably great as well… thanks for the rundown! i’ll skip that one :)
yeah, the sipster is by far the most leak free, well made cup i’ve used, but maybe try the NUK and AVENT like daria and chaya wrote about.. mom-tested is really the best bet :)
