Luv 'N Care: No-Spill Sports Sipper Reviews

• Not made for busy kids

  My toddler just loved this sipper...for the one week we had it. It was never put in the dishwasher (only hand washed) nor was it used outside of the company directed guidelines. But, in the middle of the store this morning when my son dropped it from the cart to the floor, it cracked in half & juice leaked everywhere. Dropping things is just part of what kids do & Nuby should know that. This no-spill cup is not meant for busy kids who may throw or drop it!

  These sippy cups are praised for their inability to leak, however, they do leak. We've been using these sippy cups for about 2 months and have had several problems. First of all, the "built-in soft, silicone valve" that is supposed to prevent leaks, drips, usually while our daughter is drinking, causing the milk to go into her nose. But we've actually had more problems with milk leaking out from under the rim when the sippy is turned on it's side. The two notches on the silicone spout are lined up, but the problem still exists. We just can't figure out what the problem could be, after such a short time of having them. I will not buy anymore of these, because they are too unpredictable and they do not do what they are supposed to do.
  
  

• Only cup that helped my son transition from the bottle

  My son was having a hard time using the many sippy cups I purchased. I even bought the Nuby cups and he just chewed on them. He took right to this cup. The straw was easy for him to suck and keep in his mouth because of its shape and he could get as much water as he needed. This is the only cup that has worked for him and now he is learning to use regular straws because of this cup. We are skiping "sippy" cups altogether now. My friend tried this cup and her son chewed up the straw but my son has not done this and we have had it for a month.

  we've gone through many different kinds of sippys, and these are the best and they're cheap too! my daughter loves the sport sippers.. she can have her juice and i don't have to worry about it leaking all over. we put them in the dishwasher and have had no problems. they do stain if you have a bright colored juice, but i think they're the best thing out there. kid tested.. mother approved!

  I had low supply and while I had to supplement with formula we never used a bottle. Instead I used an SNS, but by the time she was about 6 months old she was constantly pulling at the SNS tubing making it very difficult for me. So I decided to switch to sippys. I bought one of these thinking the long tube would be an easier transition for her. It did take a little bit but my 6 month old did figure out how to use this sippy! :D We gave her her supplement in that until she was about 11 months and she gave up formula on her own.
  
  
  
  Pros:
  
  ~easy for breast fed babies to learn
  
  ~easy to clean (by hand or dishwasher)
  
  ~very inexpensive (on sa\e for $1, normally $2-$3 at walmart)
  
  ~silicone can be boiled in case of thrush (or just cheaply replace the whole thing)
  
  ~tops are interchangeable with the 'regular' sippy tops that nuby makes.
  
  ~is no spill as long as the silicone is untorn (see below)
  
  
  
  Cons:
  
  ~the silicone top tears easily between the slits, causing it to quickly become too fast of a flow
  
  ~impossible to find replacement silicone tops. must just buy a whole new sippy (good thing they are cheap)
  
  ~if torn may leak when not using. but for a young baby this isn't really a problem since they cant use it by themselves anyway
