Customer Reviews

Not completely satisfied
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.

great for younger babies
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

Poor advertising
I was excited to order thse for my kids, only when I got them I was very disapointed. Not only do they leak, but they are more like a baby bottle than a big kid sports bottle. The top of it is like a baby bottle nipple so my 2 older boys were embarased to take them to school. I feel like them being listed as "Sports Sippers" comes off as faulse advertising as it aludes to the product is for older children, but is nothing more than a glorified baby bottle.
