Nuby Two Handle Sippy Cup 7 oz. Reviews

• Can't get the handles to line up

  
  By A2WBOGKID89YCR on 2007-02-05
  I love the no-handle Nuby cup so bought these thinking they'd be just as great. Unfortunately, after an hour of trying, we have found it impossible to screw on the top such that the handles are in the right spot relative to the spout. It should not be so hard! I've never used them and now have had to throw them away.
  
  

• Don't Buy----It Leaks

  
  By A2MDX0WXY6J9M9 on 2006-10-24
  After less than a month, my son's cup started leaking from the spout. He bites the spout (what kid doesn't) and this eventually caused the spout to crack. Now it leaks everywhere. While I loved this product at first, I ended up being very disappointed. A sales person suggested a buy replacement nipples. They sell for $3.99. Doesn't seem worth it when I bought the cup for $5.99.
  
  

• the worst

  
  By ALF6ZGUCU8EH6 on 2007-03-27
  I have 3 different types of nuby sippy cups and these are the worst. I wish I could find the ones I like, but I don't see them on Amazon and I bought the last 3 in the store.

  I like all the other Nuby sippy cups so I felt pretty good about buying
  this one. This is the worst sippy ever. Every time you put the cap on you have to fight with it to get the spout lined up with the handles and then it leaks everywhere. This cup is aggravating from start to finish.
  
  

• fantastic transition from breast to cup

  
  By A1HTAYR2T473JU on 2007-01-29
  GREAT STARTER CUP! BABY WON'T HAVE TO SUCK SO HARD AS WITH OTHER NO SPILLS!!!
  This cup is great for a young baby who is breastfed because baby can gum this nipple without sucking very hard, just like when nursing. I used this when I'd leave my baby after 4 months because she did not like a bottle at all. Obviously this cup isn't meant for an older child who will bite and tear it apart. The spout is very soft and flexible, much like [...]. Moms if your baby is biting, tearing or throwing a cup they're obviously NOT THIRSTY! Take the cup away and give them a toy!
  
  
  
• I love this item
  By A3KSVDEY5OA67R on 2007-07-19
  My daughter is 5 months old and was only breastfeed. When I tried to get her to take a bottle she refused it each time. After some internet searching I was advised to try a sippy cup. I found this particular one and was interested in it because of its silicone nipple. On the first day my daughter drank from it twice (only a few ounces) but it was a start, by the second day she drank two full bottles, and by the third day there was NO PROBLEMS. I recommend this sippy to anyone who is trying to switch to a sippy cup or having problems with thier child taking a bottle. It worked for me.
  
  
• Silicone rips easily
  By AFTTK069ZRSLM on 2007-02-13
  I bought this cup because I liked how similar it seems to a bottle and thought it would the transition to a cup easier. However, since my son was teething he loved biting down on the silicone nipple and ended up tearing it up with his teeth. As a result, the liquid would spill everywhere! I thought it was just a flaw with the first cup I bought, but the same thing happened with the second one. I contacted the manufacturer and they offered to replace the valve, but they in no way seemed concerned because they claim the silicone is not hazardous. However, my main issue is that if he was able to tear the silicone so easily then he could have possibly torn a piece off and choked.
  
  We ended up using the Gerber Fun Grips® Soft Starter Spill-proof Cup. These cups were small enough for him to hold well. We had much better luck with this product.
  
  
• Awful!
  By A3TKFQH9R7M2FH on 2007-04-24
  BEWARE BUYERS, THIS THING LEAKS ALL THE TIME!!!
  all of the nuby products I bought leaks all of it content whenever it's on its side, so that means, leaks when it tips over in the diaper bag, and when the baby drinks the bottle.
  Such a waste of money!
  
  
• CONTAIN BPA in handles!
  By A2XZ7OFHNNKOQU on 2008-05-02
  The handles on this thing are BPA (illegal in Canada). I have no idea why it's in the Amazon BPA-free store.
  
  
• these aren't worth it
  By A14O5UJJSS8GOZ on 2006-11-04
  it takes too long to fidgit with to get a good seal when capping cup, plus i've had a number of the handles break from constant throwing on the ground. I found another Nuby product I really liked much better the nipple pieces are smaller but they have worked well for about 8 months.
  
  
• Baby pulls/bites at silcone and comes apart from lid
  By ACVEBDT5WB6DA on 2007-01-01
  Like the title states my baby pulls and bites at the lid which is silicone which in turn makes it very easy to come apart from the plastic that holds the silicone lid in place. With that in mind I am sure you can see the mess I had with cleaning up liquid from the floor, clothing, etc. Since the product was so awful I taught my baby how to sip through a straw, it takes a little time, and it is very worth the time. My baby now does not have to tip anything upside down to get the liquid out. Like the normal sippy cups. We go to restaurants and we get a kid cup with a straw and my baby sips through it like a pro. Buy the way my baby is only 10 months old!! Try Munchkin My First Straw Cup
  
  
• Cup leaks
  By A2ZVMTTPOYBD2Y on 2007-02-27
  I'm definitely disappointed with this sippy cup. After the first dishwasher cleaning (top rack) the cup now leaks and the leak is NOT coming from how the nipple was secured. I like the soft nipple, but it's back to finding another type/brand.
  
  
• Lopsided
  By A1TP4QJVSRROW0 on 2007-03-09
  I bought this cup to allow my baby boy drink some juice. I liked the soft "spout" feature and figured it would be easier on his gums, but the handles won't line up correctly with the spout. It is too hard for him to hold the handle at the bottom and top of the cup when he is trying to drink, so we just don't use it. Also, it arrived in pink, I wasn't given a color choice, but I wouldn'thave chosen pink for a boy!
  
  
• This cup is awful!
  By A2M9PMANFNIOD0 on 2007-04-18
  I bought two of the Twin Handle Cup with No-Spill(tm) drinking Spout cups at a local store and contrary to their "No-Spill" name, they leak all over the place - from the base and from the cup. Thankfully, they don't also leak from the spout. I didn't have the cups but two weeks and they fell apart. I have not washed them in the dishwasher so have no idea why they would fall apart. The base and handles are one piece and they just don't stay together with the cup. My local store will not let me return them and I have not been able to get in touch with anyone at Luv 'n Care. I'm disappointed b/c my daughter loved the cups, but I can't use them with this amount of leaking. I do not recommend this cup until they perfect it.
  
  
• Worst Sippy Cup
  By A2VCAF6TB6BRKZ on 2007-05-05
  I hate this product it is the worst sippy cup I have ever used. I thought that the soft silicone spout would make for an easier transition; but cup leaks and the spout does not line up properly. My son also hates it. Don't waste your money.
  
  
• This bottle is terrible
  By A1A8KMDICRUFPT on 2007-06-12
  I baught this cup on June 2nd from local store, the beautiful color and the soft spout attracted me since my 5 month baby's teeth were not coming out yet and I thought this soft spout would be suitable for her. My baby likes the orange color and can hold it. But, first I found the bottle is leaking really badly. Second, the spout is stained by orange juice and the color is dfficult to wash off. The worst thing is, this morning my baby tapped the handle and the handle just fell apart from the bottle! I tried to push the handle back to its position but it loose again and again. This 9-day life bottle is the worst baby product I baught ever.
  
  
• Made of unsafe polycarbonate plastic
  By A2BVTBEEW0RXKU on 2007-10-22
  These cups are made of polycarbonate plastic, which is a known toxic plastic, especially unsafe in food/drink storage. Nuby makes other two handled sippy cups that are made of safe polypropylene plastic. Cups made of unsafe PC plastic are usually clear and hard, while cups made of safe PP plastic are softer and "clouded" plastic.
  
  
• Great first sippy cup
  By A1R9YFCX2G24EO on 2007-04-15
  I tried all types of brands of sippy cups and my daughter liked Nuby the best. She really loved these cups because she could hold them so well. A friend and I both bought one to try on our 6 month olds at the same time and we are both buying more!
  
  
• This cup leaks horribly!
  By AYMMB82M0G2UM on 2007-06-22
  I bought this cup for my son as we were transitioning from bottle to sippy cup. I thought it was me not lining the bottle up correctly with the lid but after reading all of these reviews these are just horribly made sippy cups. They leak all over the place. Definetly do not waste your money!
  
  
• The worst sippy cup ever!
  By ACV68WV0IQB2Z on 2007-06-28
  I thought these cups would be an excelent choice for my breastfed baby to transition to a cup. They leak all over the place!! I have tried different styles of Nuby cups, all with the exact same problem!!! Don't waste your money! Try the Avent sippy cups! Much better!
  
  
• Worked For My Little One
  By A1UB4N16BZBG4B on 2007-07-18
  I'm sure there are better sippy cups out there but these work good for little one's transitioning from bottle to cup. They are small, have soft tip (similar to bottle nipple) and easy to grip. I have had no problem lining handles up.
  
  
• good for teething, spout doesn't line up, worth a try
  By A3LRIMW482IL1H on 2007-07-31
  Once my son got into the "oral stage," (around 3 months) he began to chew on EVERYTHING and the doctor recommended starting him on a sippy cup at 4 months. This was the only cup st Babies R Us that was labeled as young as 4 months and I noticed it had a soft tip so I thought we'd give it a try. My son loved chewing on it more than actually drinking out of it. At the time, he would not take a pacifier, but would chew on this, and everything else but the paci. He is now 7 months and no longer uses it (and hasn't for a while), this is what we concluded:
  
  Pros: * suitable for a 4 month old learning to hold a cup
  * good for teething
  * no leaks if child throws it around
  
  Cons: * impossible to line up handles with spout
  * hard to drink from (liquid will come out when chewed on, but the spout has to be completely in child's mouth)
  
  ** Yes, I would recommend this item **
  
  
  
• Bad Choice
  By A1MGBZQIYZXQMZ on 2007-08-21
  When trying to get my son to transition from bottle to sippy cup we bought this one first. What a mistake. He never really sucked on it, he would chew on it to get his water out. And he would push the spout down almost inside-out causing the rest of it to sink in and then it would leak all over the place.
  
  
• It Leaks
  By A3D9S6J7I4EJQ9 on 2007-08-24
  This cup was recommended to me when I was transitioning my daughter off the bottle. She definitely did the best with this cup over all other sippy cups (I have a cabinet full - of one of every brand), and I noticed her milk intake definitely increased when drinking from the nuby. But the darn things leaks all over the place. I thought I had a "bad batch", so I threw them out and bought new - just to find the same problem. I'm planning to use them just a while longer until I am confident my daughter is used to the sippy cup, then all of them are going in the trash.
  
  
• Leaks Horribly
  By A3JQSRQLMUGVMT on 2007-09-03
  I heard good things about the nuby cups so I purchased the two handle sippy. It is difficult to screw on, the lid is difficult to take on/off and it leaks no matter what I try to do. Interestingly enough the one without the handles does not leak.
  
  
• Pretty good, though flawed.
  By A22JZ1B49KPYQW on 2007-10-02
  My baby likes the Nuby sippy cups better than any others. The No-Spill Gripper cup was a great first sippy cup. To move on to something bearing more resemblance to a real cup, I tried this handled Nuby. The design is flawed, certainly, in that it is difficult to line up the nipple so that it is midway between the handles, as would be easiest for the baby to use. However, when correctly aligned (usually takes me a couple tries), this is the cup from which my son will actually drink a few ounces of milk, and for that reason is a favorite of mine.
  
  
• They LEAK because the design is terrible
  By A27RVS6CM1XA9Z on 2007-11-07
  We bought three and within a few days they all leaked from the bottom of the plastic cup. I noticed that when our child dropped one of them from the high chair they came apart but easily snapped back into place. The design problem is there is slack in the way the plastic cup sits in the two handed handle. In the normal everyday operation of tightening the top on so it does not leak the force actually tears small holes in the cup because the base actually rips the cup apart. The plastic is so flimsy its like paper. This should be recalled and we should all get our money back!!!
  
  
• Great cups for my 6 month twin boys
  By A24BCUGLES66RD on 2007-11-07
  I bought these cups for my 6 months old twin boys thinking it would be good for them to start to learn to drink out of a cup and they love them, they don't leak and they have the silicone spout. Only 1 time I had a problem with lining up the spout to be in the middle of the handles but besides that I love them and so do my boys. I haven't tried to many other cups because these seem to work fine. Hope you have good luck with them too.
  
  
• baby loves it!
  By A5Q7KGDOKUHF1 on 2007-12-03
  Our 7-month old loves it! It is easy to use for her and us.
  
  
• If I could give a half star review I would
  By A3OXFEMA6507W4 on 2008-01-01
  This cup is a FABULOUS idea, too bad it leaks so horribly. It doesn't leak from the mouth piece - it leaked from the bottom!
