We have a 4 year old and 2 year old and have tried many different sippies by many of the companies (Gerber, Nuby, Playtex, First Years etc). The two that we like the most are from Playtex - the Insulator (with valve) and these cups (valve-less). We used the Insulator exclusively for about 2+ years and in this past year, started to use these valve-less cups because we got tired of cleaning the valves and the nooks and crannies in the lids so we tossed them all. We really love these valve-less cups. The spout is larger, but both my girls have not had a problem with them - even my very petite 2 year old with her small mouth can drink from these cups at 1 year old. The designs are very pretty (we have Cars, Princesses, Baby Elmo/Zoe, Thomas the Train) and stay bright and unscratched, whereas designs on the Insulator rubbed off after time. The main complaint we have with these is that they do leak if you get a defective one (the Insulators never leaked). We have a total of 8 cups (four 2-packs) and can't give our 2 year old 3 of them because they leaked from the spout right from the start. Even when we exchanged a 2-pack for another, the 2nd pack had one that leaked, so we just kept them. Too much of a hassle to return again. If you wash the lids in the dishwasher, the heat can warp the clear rubbery part of the spout and make it leak too. So while we'll continue to use them, we just have to mark the lids that leak and for the ones that don't, wash the lids by hand. Every couple of weeks, I still have to take a sharp knife, cover it with paper towel, and run the tip around the inside edge of the lid to wipe off milky/mildewy residues that can get trapped there. Otherwise, they are quite sturdy and great for keeping liquids cold.

For those concerned about BPA: these sippy cups are BPA free.

(For those that missed the news reports - BPA is a chemical found in some plastics that a recent National Institutes of Health report indicated may be harmful, especially to infants.)

it's so refreshing to find a sippy cup that doesn't have little pieces to take out and clean separately (or possibly lose). this is a great cup, easy to clean and my son loves the elmo/zoe design. great purchase!

After reading the previous review I had to comment. We have three kids and have used these cups for years (we have probable owned, and lost, over a dozen) and have never had one break or leak. The lids have valves built in, which gives the lid a smooth surface that is easy to keep clean, unlike the 4 or 5 other brands available. The spout is sloped, which makes it harder for the little ones to chew on them. These are great cups.

We've tried many. LOVE that there are no valves to clean or get knocked off. Insulation keeps them cooler longer. Our kids (ages 1 and 2) have no trouble sucking through them. One big benefit not mentioned: they are not made with polycarbonate plastics (new info. 8/07 from the NIH indicate they believe that bottles and sippy cups made from polycarbonate plastics can cause long term neurological and behavioral problems). These cups are made from BPA-free plastics so 1 less worry.

THis is a great sippie cup. I have 2 daughters, a 7 yr old and a 3 year old. I found these when my 7 year old was just growing out of sippie cups a few years back and only bought this brand for my younger daugther. No sippie cup is going to totally be leak proof...but I have yet to have an accident from these. They are great because the sippie part is built right into the top...it's just one piece....so you don't have to take then apart to wash...just stick it in the diswasher. This also helps with the mold that can grow in there when a cup is lost in the car or house somewhere. The ones I have have lasted the last year and a half....getting ready to puchase a couple more. They come in Princess for girls and Thomas for boys as well as the plain ones....

I've tried many sippy cups, but these are the best. They don't drip when tipped over on the floor. The hard top is a little tricky to drink from at first, but my daughter got the hang of it after only a few tries. Now this is the only brand of sippy cup that we buy.

I also ordered the cups pictured but received the wrong item. A much lighter weight, see through cup from the Learning Curve, not the First Years. I called to complain and was sent the same cups! I am exasperated and do not know what Amazon is doing right now but the trust I have with them is declining!

I purchased this set of Thomas cups today at Kohl's for $7.99. This is the only place other than here at Amazon that I have seen Thomas cups. I bought a set of these in Elmo the other day and apparently got a bad batch. After returning those to Walmart, I went to Kohl's and bought these. We have only tried out one of the cups so far, but it is easy for my son to drink from and does not leak AT ALL!! It has been thrown on the floor many times today and layed on its side on the carpet in my son's room, with no leaking. I even turned it upside down and shook it to see what would happen. No drops came out. I love that I can just take the lid off and throw the cup and lid in the top rack of the dishwasher and clean it. I do not have to worry about valves getting lost at the bottom of the dishwasher and I no longer have a need for the dishwasher basket! Also, there are no more worries about the valve popping out when my son throws it down in the store, and I having to stick my hand in my son's drink to retrieve it and put it back together. I can see that these cups will be very handy when traveling as well, since it will be easy clean up with just a lid and cup to wash by hand.

These are by far the worst sippy cups I have ever purchased. We bought them since my daughter is in love with Minnie and thought that they would hold up as well as Playtex sippy cups. The first time we filled them, they leaked like crazy. I thought perhaps I put too much in so I decreased the amount and they still leaked. Forget letting them fall on their side, that's even worse. I can't tell you how many leaks we have had to soak up because of these cups. They are in the trash and I am sticking with Playtex. Don't waste your money - they may be cute but you'll need to buy a whole lot of paper towels to clean up the leaks.
