2 Handle Cup w/ TPE on Handles and Fat Flip-it Straw Top Reviews

• Love this cup!!! Must have!

  
  By A3C030M72GC9AR on 2007-01-05
  My daughter is 13 months and totally off the bottle thanks to this cup. I tried so many and this by far was her favorite. The built in straw allows her to drink from the cup with out having to turn the cup up - so easy. It is hard to find in the stores, I've only seen them in Babies R Us and they usually are down to none...I guess other moms like them as well. I do have to say that I took apart the straw to clean it and it was difficult to put it back properly. I ended having to throw it out becuase I never got it back exactly right - so I just clean it assembled now.
  
  

• Terrific Sippy Cup

  
  By A31YF4ZBCJB60S on 2008-01-26
  Great for kids who cannot tilt a traditional sippy cup. My 10 month old took to it immediately. Just a word to those who are having trouble putting the cup together. It takes practice but works. The straw is in three pieces. You must insert the soft part of the straw into the lid before connecting the other two plastic straw attachments. The only problem is that some liquid can stay in the straw and my daughter has learned to flick it.
  
  

• Good cup, but made of unsafe plastic

  
  By A2BVTBEEW0RXKU on 2007-10-22
  My son really likes this cup, but I found out it is made of polycarbonate plastic, which is known to be toxic. So I threw it out and bought the larger flip n' sip cups, which are made of safe polypropylene plastic. My only comlaint is that they don't have handles and are a little big. If only Nuby made a PP version of the 2 handled sip n' flip!
  
  

• This one works great for us

  
  By A1KRSTBW73YMQB on 2007-11-02
  We've tried several other cups -- avent, gerber, nuk and a few others and this one works best for us, mainly because of the straw. The handles line up properly with the spout when the lid is on tight. It only leaks when the flow restricter is not inserted all the way.
  
  

• Not as good as Munchkin's straw cup

  
  By ADE79IONYOJCX on 2007-01-18
  My son got this cup when he was 13 months old. He throws everything off his highchair, and when he throws this cup down, the handles come off the cup. The cup is durable, and hasn't cracked yet, but when I removed the straw to clean it, I couldn't put it back in all the way so it leaks when he throws the cup now. We still use the cup though, but the Munchkin straw cup handles the blows to the floor much better.
  
  
• great do-it-yourself cup
  By A2I6TJKZM1T8ZT on 2007-03-08
  My twins were hip to using straws at around 7-months, but they never really got the hang of the sippy cup. They just couldn't seem to tilt it enough on a regular basis to benefit. So when I found these sippy-cups with straws I jumped. They are awesome. The kids love them, they are durable and easy to clean. If left on their side they will leak a bit and create a puddle, but that's it. I highly recommend this as a transition cup!
  
  
• Great cups not childproof
  By A1A5M7H639K57S on 2007-03-08
  We love these cups for ease of travel, however once thrown from the high chair the bottoms along with the handles tend to pop off. After a riggerous couple of weeks they tend to leak from the top. We like'em but they need to be replaced way too much.
  
  
• Got my baby off the bottle - but hard to assemble
  By A73887719OTTS on 2007-04-08
  This is a great cup - my baby would NOT go to sippy cups from bottle no matter how hard I tried - even at 20 months! I tried every style of sippy cup imaginable. When I saw this one, I bought it and though "we'll see..." Well, she LOVED it and was off the bottle in a few days. She really likes the soft straw instead of those flow things she has to kind of bite on. The only drawback is: we now have 6 of these cups, but I had to throw away 2 of the straws because they got leaky (I think she chewed on one, the other she stuffed her fork inside). Replacement straws are hard to find. Also these are really hard to assemble - you have to get the straw in just right or it leaks. It is worth the aggravation to me because she loves these. It is also nice that you flip the straw down and that way can keep it sanitary while you're out & about. These are a little bigger than regular sippy cups, but we call them our "robo cups" and she loves them - so if you're trying to get your baby off the bottle definitely try these!
  
  
• The worst sippy cups ever!
  By A29Q5YX3V5QQCZ on 2007-04-20
  I absolutely hate these cups! They are flimsy like another reviewer said. My handles haven't come off but they leak from the joints. Also, the lid is impossible to line up with the handles if your toddler is crying for milk or water.
  
  
• Easy to use straw cup
  By A33ZUOJ9UP7T0A on 2007-06-08
  Of all the cups we have, this is the best. Because of the straw, I don't have to worry about tongue thrusting like other cups. It's easy to assemble and clean and has held up. I am buying another and throwing away my other no-leak cups.
  
  
• Great for child with motor difficulties
  By A2D994A0SRPYQY on 2007-06-25
  We love this cup! It's one of the few cups that my son with cerebral palsy can use by himself (given the handles and straw). It leaks much less than other cups of this nature and really fosters his independence.
  
  
• Leaks extensively
  By A2BU4R4Q0Q0JD8 on 2007-07-29
  We bought four of these cups and every one leaked extensively - from the straw and from the seal between the screw-on top and the base. Also, difficult to clean. After putting up with the spills for two weeks, we just threw them all out.
  
  
• Great transition cup
  By A3N3X5L72NA4J9 on 2007-08-09
  It is almost impossible to find another straw cup with handles. My son was great at drinking from a straw early but definitely needed the handles to hold the cup for awhile. I also like that the cup is short.
  
  
• Problems, but the best I've found
  By A1EDV59A12G2YE on 2007-10-01
  I've tried 4 different straw sippy cups, and this is the only one that has worked. It is difficult to reassemble properly. It has five pieces, the cup, the lid, the straw sticking out of the lid, and two parts of the straw sticking out of the bottom. If you take out the straw sticking out of the lid, it is difficult (but not impossible) to put it back together, so I now just wash it without taking the lid/top part of straw apart. All the other parts just go in the dishwasher, just buy one of those dishwasher baskets that holds straws on the side. One of my cups started leaking after about a month of heavy use, but the other ones are holding out okay. They are easy for my son to grab and easy for him to drink from.
  
  
• Very easy transition from the Podee upright bottle!!
  By A2YNOODRJ7W0D6 on 2007-10-02
  My son (and maybe this is my fault) never really lifted his bottle. I found the Podee upright bottle that needs no lifting in order to get milk/formula in Toys R Us. From that this was the easies transition ever. He never took to a sippy cup but this straw cup was awesome. It does have slight leakage from time to time but who cares - it was worth it! and hey sometimes ya just can't have it all!
  
  
• Not TOO bad...
  By A3QG2B2E002MQ0 on 2007-12-05
  My son has been off the bottle since he was about 11- 11 1/2 months old, and this is one of the cups I ordered for him to use. He likes it, but not as much as his others.
  Its pretty hard to get back together correctly after being washed.
  
  
• Helped my tube-fed child learn to drink!!
  By A2YX6C40C4RECS on 2008-02-17
  My son would not drink from his bottle. He has been totally g-tube fed for the past 7 months. We have tried practically every bottle and sippy cup ever made. I introduced this cup two weeks ago (with the valve cut out of it to make sucking easier), and he is now up to 7 ounces of milk a day from this cup!!!!! I wouldn't care how much it leaks (which it does a bit), it is the best cup ever! :) I think the fat straw helped him a lot, as well as the straw being so soft and flexible.
  
  
• Great cup for CP kids
  By AHYTRVYGW6PKA on 2008-06-04
  My son has CP and has a hard time holding onto a sippy cup. He's two so he's outgrown the soft-spout cups but he can drink from a straw. Actually, he prefers to drink from a straw since it's difficult for him to lift, tilt and hold onto a sippy cup. We have this cup in every color. It's the only one that works for us. We have even purchased replacement straw kits (found on ebay) for when the straw gets old. So far, they are holding up well. I put them in the dishwasher and they get dropped and they are still in good shape. The only thing I would recommend being careful with is the straw extension. They are easy to lose and the cup won't work without it. So make sure you wash that part by hand and let it dry in a special area where it won't get lost.
  
  
• Best of the best...
  By A1E29194QNFHFG on 2008-06-10
  I have literally tried all sippy cups out there. These ones are the best. I don't know why some reviewers say they leak. I have 6 of these and not one has a problem. Maybe the rubber straw is not put in properly. If you pull it out, you have to push it back in until it "locks". Also, if you do remove the handles from the cup, it's not hard to put it back together at all!!! I do it all the time when I wash them.
  
  My son throws them across the room as hard as he can (he's 18 months old) and not one came apart or broke. They're extremely sturdy.
  
  They're absolutely the best cups out there. I also purchased the larger type, without the handles and those are also awesome.
  
  
• Looks pretty but not functional
  By A1AW3TPT0LC54G on 2008-03-14
  I bought this in hope of my son will be able to drink milk from this cup. It was useless after I took it apart and had to wash it. I tried so hard to putting it back together. But, it still leaks. I basically toss it out after many times of trying. What a waste of money.
