Nuby No Spill Flip-it Cup, 12 Ounce

My son was nursed and never used a bottle, so when it was time to wean him, he didn't understand that he had to tip the cup up in order to get the milk. This was the perfect solution! At first the cups leaked, the threading around the lid wasn't tight enough; but after being in the dishwasher, it got more snug and doesn't leak anymore. They are finicky though, sometimes it's hard to get them open and it is fairly hard to clean the straw. But it's all worth it.

I both loved and hated this sippy. It definitely served it's purpose. My twins never had a bottle, so they didn't know you had to tip up the sippy. I gave them this straw sippy before a "regular" type of sippy. I never had any transition problems. They were drinking from it within the same day I introduced it.

I HATE cleaning it. You have to take it apart and make sure you get all the milk out of all three straw pieces. Running them through the dishwasher didn't seem to work, I usually soaked them in vinegar water and then rinsed really well. As soon as they were capable, I switched to regular sippies and gave these straw ones away.

They served their purpose, and I would TOTALLY recommend this cup if you are having problems getting your toddler on a sippy, but unless there is a better way to clean it, it's not a long term cup for me!

(Oh, I had very few leaks with this cup.)

We love these cups! Once you figure out how to insert the straw correctly they absolutly don't leak. It is worth the time to do it correctly. My son really likes the smaller ones with handles but I have to refill them all the time so I'm trying the bigger ones now.

This item is not bpa free as described. The straw contains BPA. Also, this is a horrible product because you can not clean the straw. It is closed off at one end with only tiny holes and the other end is folded into the lid. If you take the lid apart, you can not put it back together. Had to throw ours away after a couple of uses (we purchased this before we knew it had BPA)

If the sliding lid were slightly shorter, then you could easily thread the straw in place behind the crossguard. But as is, the sliding lid prevents the straw from pushing up into place, so you have to use your finger (or a tool like pliers if your hands are too big) to pull the mouthpiece between the sliding lid and the crossguard. This becomes tedious the very first time you wash the cups, and it really never gets easier. And what parent wants another frustration in their day, especially when the little one is begging for their drink?

Also, everyone else who complained about the "spray effect" when the lid is opened is spot on. These cups are a PAIN.
