Skip Hop Toddler Sippy Cup - Zoo Steel Straw Bottle, Dino

Ok, after many $, and tons of research, and many disappointments with other (more $) cups ~ THIS IS OUR FAVORITE!!! We've used these since for over 2 years now, soon as we gave up bottles. We tried SO MANY other options. Daddy wanted no spills. Well, you only get 0 spills if you get a cup with a valve, and both our Pediatrician and PD Dentist said NO VALVES for growing tooth buds and tiny jaws. Sorry, Daddy, there were spills. I tried many many other cups, months, and money wasted. These are my favorite.No, they are not spill proof. But they are pretty good in that respect. They are easy to use, easy to clean, cheerful, simple, fit into almost every single thing we ever need to put them into. Inexpensive, and they last a long long time! I even put them the dishwasher, and they are all still as cheerful, cute, and bright as can be! In a frenzy I bought 1, with about 8 other types of cups, back in the "learning to drink from a straw" months. Anything with a valve was too hard for her, and then the Drs said NO VALVES! So I got 6 of these. 2 years ago. I have never bought another cup since then, unless we were away, too long, without our own supplies.iI there is a perfect cup for preventing spills, it is probably not good for your baby's teeth and jaw formation. TRUST ME ~ this is the next best thing. We and she, still love them, it's still so much better than using an open cup around the house, (on the beige carpet), even though she is well capable of using open cups, she loves these, she drinks a LOT of liquids in them, and our carpet stays , well, fairly spot free. As with all in life, there is no clear perfection. But these are close! Don't torture yourself, just get them. Cute, cheap, cheerful, long-lasting, YAAYE!

Unbelievably cute! These are such good toddler bottles. The straws are very easy for my little one to use, plus it comes with an extra straw. They are 12 oz bottles, which are larger than most other brands. The company who makes these are European-based and it's a good quality product. My daughter likes to throw her cups/ bottles in the ground and these hold up. The tops stay on. The Velcro loop is a nice feature. They are dishwasher safe and the images have not come off so far after a few washes. With the lid closed, these are totally spill-proof. Liquid will leak out of the straw if the lid is open and the bottle is tipped over, but that's not the manufacturer's fault, it's science. 😉 Overall, these are the best sippy bottles I've come across. I will definitely be buying more!

I have purchased several sippy and straw cups for my 1 year old daughter. This is our current favorite. The straw is soft and has held up to her biting it. The straw is easy to remove and clean as it does not have a valve. This cup does leak when in the open position. My daughter has unfortunately decided it's fun to turn the cup upside down and shake the water out. Since I do not put milk or juice in this cup, it's not a big deal to me to have a little water on the floor. I have not noticed any leaking when in the locked position. This cup is great to take when we're at outdoor events. It fits in the cup holder of the stroller, and it's also easy for her to hold. I don't use the outside strap often, but will sometimes strap it to the outside of the diaper backpack. It's really cute. I plan to purchase another one.

I love for things to match, so when I bought the butterfly backpack I couldn't resist buying the matching water bottle. It is super cute! I bought one of these for my older child over a year ago and was very pleased, so I bought another for my second child. The price is very reasonable, and it is good quality, so definitely worth the money. The bottle is functional and the lid is easy enough for my 2 year to handle and get opened and closed. The directions say "hand wash", but I don't have time for that, so I put it in the top rack of my dishwasher and haven't had any problems. One thing that is a slight nuisance is that sometimes the water will leak out if it is on the side (like many cups) so it isn't a deal breaker, but that's why I gave it 4 stars.

I love these water bottles for my girls. I purchased 6 different characters for my two daughters to share.What I love - each bottle comes with an extra straw assembly (2 pc.). I've owned many of these kids cups before with the straw inside and for some reason, the straws end up misplaced. Having an extra set is awesome. This is not only an extra straw that attaches inside the bottle, but there's also an extra exterior straw (the portion that is actually attached to the lid, which is what they drink out of.The designs are really cute and my girls really like them.Something to note. These are not leak free bottles. If you have smaller kids, let's say 2-3 years old and younger, these aren't the best. These are intended for kids who are able to remember to close the top when they are done drinking. If the top is left open and the water bottle ends up on its side or upside down, you will have a leak coming from the straw. With the lid closed, the straw becomes sealed off and reduced the chance of any liquid escaping. Not ideal for toddlers as they most likely aren't going to be aware enough to close the lid every time.Aside from that, these are great for kids 4-5 and up.

Daughter loves these! Same as my other review basically, it will leak out whatever is already in the straw but the straw sits low enough that it isn't much and doesn't keep dumping unless you have the cup full to the brim. She can easily hold them and loves using a straw over any sort of sippy cup. We just throw the parts in the top of the dishwasher to get clean and it's great!
