Sippy Cups - Rock City Falls,NY

Thermos makes an amazing stainless-steel insulated travel cup with a straw, I think it's called "foogo". Straws are better for kids' oral motor skills than sippys, and when the lid on this cup is shut, it doesn't leak AT ALL. It is top rack dishwasher safe, and truly keeps liquids cold for hours upon hours. One day it kept ice in the cup for close to 8 hours! (great if you want to travel with milk).

I like the Avent ones for going out because they have a lid, so they stay clean in the diaper bag. Also, the spout comes off as a separate piece. I keep an extra spout in a pacifier holder in the diaper bag in case the cup gets dropped (or thrown) while we're out. That way, I can give my son a clean spout and he can still drink. Plus, you can take the handles and the spill-proof valve on or off depending on what your child needs.

I think the playtex brand with the hard plastic lids are great. (tall, usually have colorful designs) We have several and they haven't leaked on us yet! You can get them anywhere...Target, Walmart, CVS, Costco, BJ's.

Hi A., My twins use the Playtex sipsters. They don't leak at all b/c of the valves however the valves and tops should be changed every few weeks. Even though the twins only drink water from them the cover can sometimes be difficult to clean in the crevices. Let them dry out well. You can get replacement valves and covers on their website. I.

The Gerber ones seem to be the most leak proof for us and I have tried them all!

The best ones I've found are the Gerber. I give one to my daughter to take to bed so she has water at night and it doesn't leak even if it's upside down and the spout is against the sheets. The Munchkin straw cups are pretty good too. I loathed all Avent ones because they all leak. Definitely avoid those.

Gerber ones are good. They sell them at most supermarkets.

I also like the playtex ones--have had them for well over a year now, and they don't leak. I also had contacted the company and the cups do NOT contain BPA, which is great to know. I have the sipster cups, which are the stage 1. I haven't tried the other stages, because I feel like having the smaller cup insures that I will remember to rinse it or wash it each time it's empty, and refill it with a fresh drink. Figured the cup would get more attention if I had to deal with it frequently--also the sipsters are clear with no design, so you can easily see the liquid inside...

A.,
My daughter uses Munchkin brand...they are insulated and never leak, the plugs are smaller and easier to clean and take in and out than some other ones she has, 10 oz so you don't have to refill them as often as the smaller ones, and come in colors or characters...my daughter uses Dora...I got them right in the baby section of Walmart.

we use MUNCHKIN you can get them at walmart i LOVE them they dont leak you can get them in all kinds of colors i sawer by them

The playtex insulated cups work great - I'd get a couple in both sizes.

I like the playtex ones with a rubber insert. Or the gerber ones with a white plastic anti-spill. However, my daughters fav's are the strawed cups. She's not a big sippy fan, and the sippy's are also anti-spill in the straw.

I liked the gerber cups. You have to be sure sanitize regularly.

Thermos has some great ones, some with handles. They also have a sports bottle type. They keep liquids cold for 6hours which is great for road trips and when we are out. We like the ones with handles better. Target & Amazon have them. They are pricier but we use them every day.

I went through this not long ago. I really like the Playtex sippy cups that look like an adult's travel cup-they don't leak! Whether your daughter would like it is another matter, though.

They only ones that I found reliable are the Tupperware ones (one of the reasons I started selling Tupperware is because of the sippy cups!!). However, liquid WILL come out of the sippy tops when the child turns them upside down. So for my youngest I use the sports water bottle that T'ware has. It doesn't leak at all!! I've tried just about every cup and nothing works for me except for the T'ware ones. Good luck!!!
