Junky Junky Junk Junk - Horrible - clickz4, May 15, 2008

I normally save my vitriol and 1 star reviews for products that truly earn them. I can safely say the piece of junk deserves every bad name I can call it.

This is the third baby in 6 years so we have more than a bit of experience with baby products. One thing we have done on this kid is "standardize" the bottles and sippy cups. Nothing is more annoying than having a screaming kid in one hand while you fight with 4 bottles and 3 nipples none of which go together.

So we went with the $5 a piece Avent bottles and never looked back. (worth every penny)

When it was time to switch to sippy cups we looked at all of them in Walmart and decided to buy 8 of these. What a mistake.

We when thru 3 of them in a week. There is simply no way to get them not to leak milk everywhere. I took them apart, I tried everything. The threads are just too short to close effectively. (the engineer in me speaking, sorry)

No joke... It got so bad, our son would not even try to use the cup. If we gave it to him, he would fuss. He might be 14 months old but he's not dumb! Dribble cold milk down his chest enough times even he figured out they where junk.

I never thought I'd be reading (much less writing) reviews of sippy cups but having products that actually work make parenting so much easier.

So my advice... Avoid this like the plague and when you do find one you like, buy 8 or 10 of one kind. Trust me, this makes life easier.

Pop Top - Harry M., Feb 03, 2008

I got these because of the one piece no leak lid. but just returned them today. The lids do not stay on after being screwed on. You can pop the top right off like a tupperware lid. It is especially easy to do if the bottle is slightly squeezed to change the shape of the threaded lip. As a matter of fact if you tighten too much the lid actually clicks through and opens back up. I bought a two pack and thought at first that I one was a bad egg but the same thing happened with the second so I consider it a design flaw.

My daughter loves them . . . I hate them - KMC, Feb 01, 2008

These were the only 'sippy cups' that I could get my daughter to use after stopping breastfeeding. Yet, now at 18 months, she still only wants these cups and they leak horribly and are time consuming to prepare. Even after the tedious job of lining up the notches perfectly (and the silicone spout often slips when you screw it onto the cup, so you often have to take it out and line it up all over again), we often get leaks from some other minor problem in the lid. I have to triple check every aspect of the lid to ensure no major leaks.

Also, the spouts break very easily (which causes major leakage), and I have had to keep replacing them. I am desperately trying to break my daughter of these cups.

Great transition - Melissa, Jan 05, 2008

These cups were a great transition from the bottle. My daughter started using them around 7 months and did great. These cups truly do not leak. I did find the valves breaking after awhile. She still used them but the cups were no longer spill proof. Even though the valves broke, I will be inclined to buy replacements for my second child. After all, I haven't found any other cups that don't leak.

The spout broke the first week - Lukrecja, Nov 30, 2007

My girlfriend gave me such a raving reviews for it that I decided to try this as a transition to a real cup. The initial sippy cup was under $2 at Walmart, and the spout broke the first week when my toddler started to "munch on it", like they always do. Then I had to call the manufacturer and investigate if they have and where do they sell the replacements spouts (not available at Wal-Mart), because now I had a 4 days old cup that I couldn't use. To my amusement the replacement spouts were more expensive than the initial cup! $3.99 for 2 at BBRUS. It was a ripp-off! They are hard to suck on, my toddler refuses to drink from them, he would rather drink from other cups, because the bottles have also odd shape -hard to grasp when full with drink. They seem like the middle weight is not where it is supposed to be to hold them comfortably. Spouts with the ring on are impossible to align with the bottle bottom. It takes few tries to do it the way it should be! I guess the spout is only good for when your baby does not have to many teeth, and start early if you want them to learn how to suck from it. If you don't have patience to screw the top to the cup multiple times each time you give your baby drink, then try something else...
