> 3 dayI have been going nuts trying to find a sippy cup for my 21 month old that doesnt end up leaking. I tried these when he was little (like 9 months) and they didnt really work for him. He would drink more out of a cup with a spout, so I used those for the last 12 months or so. But the problem with those was that he would chew on the spout (and eventually start sticking his baby forks into the spout) which would break the seal (or whatever it is that prevents them from leaking) and then they would leak. He would turn them upside down and shake them and make a big mess. It got to where I couldnt leave him with his sippy cup in his car seat because wed get to where we were going and hed be soaking wet. And while at first it would take several months before the sippy cup spout was rendered unusable, like the raptors in Jurassic Park he learned how to break the cup more efficiently each time until it would only take him a day or two before the cup was leaking. So I went back to these spoutless cups and now I love them. These arent leak proof; they spill somewhat when thrown from a high place (a table or high chair, for example) and one time the rubber valve came off and so the whole cup spilled on the floor. (Im not sure how that happened. Grandma was watching him and reported the spill upon our return.) But, what I like the most, is that it doesnt appear that he can ruin the valve and make it leaky (Im probably wrong on that, but so far he doesnt seem to be even trying to mess with it. I would think the biggest danger is him figuring out how to remove or loosen the rubber valve lid.) So now I can give him his sippy cup in the car and trust that when we arrive at our destination, he will still be dry and presentable. Thats really all I aim for any more. ;)

> 3 dayBeing a first time parent we went through all different types of sippy cups out of all the sippy cups we owned these are the ones that stuck. All the other sippy cups eventually started leaking under normal conditions these still hold strong without a drip. The only way anything accidentally spills out of these cups is if they are dropped and the lip hits the ground. Plus with all the consumer reports about the other sippy cups growing mold in the areas you couldnt clean around the valves, these you can actually clean every part of it, there is no hidden or impossible to reach area. So far we have 4 of these cups (Orange, Pink, Green and Blue), wish we had started out with these since it also teaches them how to drink out of a regular cup without using a straw. Highly recommend these to any parent looking for a quality sippy cup that can take a beating and still work. I purchased this item at full price and I can guarantee that the price I paid won’t affect the way I review my products, I do this because I base my purchase decisions on reviews and there is nothing worse than getting something other than what you expected based on the reviews you read, so I’ll always try to give the facts about the product first followed by my personal opinion. As far as my ratings they are as follows: 5 STARS ★★★★★ I highly recommend this product and I will be purchasing it again myself when I need another one of these as well as I tell my friends and family about it if they need a similar product. 4 STARS ★★★★☆ I recommend this product but I feel there is something that could be improved on to make it great. When I recommend this product to someone I warn them of what I feel could be improved upon but normally would purchase again unless someone points me to something better. 3 STARS ★★★☆☆ I hesitate to recommend this product as I feel it’s not the best option available. Normally this means it either lacks features or isn’t durable so generally doesn’t give you a great return on investment. Normally I’ll search for something better before I purchase this again. 2 STARS ★★☆☆☆ I don’t recommend this product. Either the product is defective (so poor quality control), doesn’t function as described or poor customer service. 1 STARS ★☆☆☆☆ I recommend staying away from this product. Usually this means I’m trying to avoid you the frustration of dealing with poor customer service for a product that is worthless in either function or quality. If you find my reviews helpful to your purchase, please up-vote.

> 3 dayThese are great sippy cups in general and the smaller ones with handles are great for the babes as they are learning to drink water. We found ourselves refilling them a lot for our son who is over 2 now and this was a great switch. He still cant be totally trusted to drink out of a cup (when distracted water would be everywhere) but he certainly doesnt need the handles anymore and a larger cup size works perfectly. This is a hit, considers it his big boy water cup. If thrown on the ground, it can still spill a little bit - but its pretty durable.

> 3 dayThey look great, dont spill, but are hard to drink from. You have to suck very hard to pull the drink from the cup. Not sure if our three year old will be able to figure out how to use it...so far its a no.

> 3 dayDisappointed in the color of the cups that I received, they are NOT the vibrant pink & purple as in their ad, but a much more muted/pale/pastel color.

> 3 dayOkay. So here is the skinny on these cups. Do you have a child that is off the bottle or close to leaving the bottle? If you answered yes, then eliminate all ideas or notions for sippy cups from your mind and buy these. These are awesome no spill cups that rely on a childs natural instinct to press down with their mouth on the lip of a cup when they drink. 1 week after switching to these, our toddler was able to take sips from regular open cups/glasses. They dont spill when dropped or knocked over...although, falling from a high enough distance will cause a spill. These cups arent miracles when it comes to no spill. Given enough force...liquid will come out. This is true of ANY sippycup. But during the normal every day to day routine, these can definitely be considered spill free. The difference here is: this cup, by design utilizes the child instinctual behavior to teach them how to drink normally out of a cup. Your standard spouted sippy cup is just a bottle with a harder nipple. These cups are well designed, well engineered. I dont often write reviews...but these are pretty awesome. You will see people make complaints about these cups. They fall into one of two categories. Ill address them individually: 1. THESE ARENT SPILL/LEAK PROOF. Yes, because when I buy a sippy cup, I expect the cup to magically cancel out the laws of motion, force, physics, momentum and intertia. The fact that this cup does not suspend the laws of the natural world when it comes to matter, and its Newtonian movement has totally made me rethink my purchase of these cups.No. Sorry. Thats a ridiculous notion. Given enough force, and depending on the angle of the hit...fluid may come out. No sippy cup in the world can meet this impossible standard. Ignore reviews making this complaint. 2. OMG, I DIDNT KNOW THE RUBBER PART CAME OFF, THERES ALL THIS MOLD. All I can say to this is: how were you allowed to move out of your parents house? I mean, seriously. These are your kids. You didnt look at this product, WASH IT COMPLETELY before using it? You didnt read the little card that came with it that explained how the top came off? Seriously? Anything will mold if you dont clean it, and its in a place where moisture can be trapped. Thats like, what... 3rd grade science class? Come on. This is a solid product. If you have half a clue, youll be able to see why. Ignore the naysayers! Buy these cups for your toddler. =)

> 3 dayCup is awesome and will definitely buy more. The only thing to note is that when the child drops a cup on the floor, it will splat as the juice comes out the top through the holes. Also, there is a slight learning curve however, our eight month year-old was able to figure it out after a couple of tries. So not too hard. Other than that the cup is very durable and Fits and most cupholders. I feel very comfortable having this cup in my bag and not worrying about it tipping over.

> 3 dayI ordered these per pediatrician recommendation, but my 9-10 month old does not understand these yet. We will be waiting a little longer. These are also the taller version of these cups which I didn’t realize there were shorter ones.
