I love the no-handle Nuby cup so bought these thinking they'd be just as great. Unfortunately, after an hour of trying, we have found it impossible to screw on the top such that the handles are in the right spot relative to the spout. It should not be so hard! I've never used them and now have had to throw them away.

My daughter is 5 months old and was only breastfeed. When I tried to get her to take a bottle she refused it each time. After some internet searching I was advised to try a sippy cup. I found this particular one and was interested in it because of its silicone nipple. On the first day my daughter drank from it twice (only a few ounces) but it was a start, by the second day she drank two full bottles, and by the third day there was NO PROBLEMS. I recommend this sippy to anyone who is trying to switch to a sippy cup or having problems with thier child taking a bottle. It worked for me.

I like all the other Nuby sippy cups so I felt pretty good about buying
this one. This is the worst sippy ever. Every time you put the cap on you have to fight with it to get the spout lined up with the handles and then it leaks everywhere. This cup is aggravating from start to finish.

After less than a month, my son's cup started leaking from the spout. He bites the spout (what kid doesn't) and this eventually caused the spout to crack. Now it leaks everywhere. While I loved this product at first, I ended up being very disappointed. A sales person suggested a buy replacement nipples. They sell for $3.99. Doesn't seem worth it when I bought the cup for $5.99.

I bought this cup because I liked how similar it seems to a bottle and thought it would the transition to a cup easier. However, since my son was teething he loved biting down on the silicone nipple and ended up tearing it up with his teeth. As a result, the liquid would spill everywhere! I thought it was just a flaw with the first cup I bought, but the same thing happened with the second one. I contacted the manufacturer and they offered to replace the valve, but they in no way seemed concerned because they claim the silicone is not hazardous. However, my main issue is that if he was able to tear the silicone so easily then he could have possibly torn a piece off and choked.

We ended up using the Gerber Fun Grips® Soft Starter Spill-proof Cup. These cups were small enough for him to hold well. We had much better luck with this product.

Okay, people. I see alot of people do not know how to screw the top onto this sippy cup so that it lines up with the handles. I promise you it is VERY EASY! I hope some of you come back and read this because this is by far the BEST cup I have tried with my baby.
Okay so for you who do not know, there are 3 main parts to this cup. The nipple that comes out of the collar (just like a bottle nipple comes out of the bottle collar), the collar, and the cup.

#1 Take the nipple and insert it into the collar. There are 2 little "nubs" on top of the collar and 2 little "vents" on top of the nipple. Simply line up the vents on the nipple to the "nubs" ON TOP of the collar, pull thru, and wha-la! It screws on right 99.9% of the time! Easy as pie, I promise! Now the "nubs" on top of the collar are not to be confused with the colored dots inside the collar.
#2 Screw on the top tightly.
#3 Give to baby! YAY!

Okay, I hope this helps some of you. I know it can be frustrating when you can't get things to work right. I'll try to add a video review if I can get the cup away from my baby! LOL!

Once my son got into the "oral stage," (around 3 months) he began to chew on EVERYTHING and the doctor recommended starting him on a sippy cup at 4 months. This was the only cup st Babies R Us that was labeled as young as 4 months and I noticed it had a soft tip so I thought we'd give it a try. My son loved chewing on it more than actually drinking out of it. At the time, he would not take a pacifier, but would chew on this, and everything else but the paci. He is now 7 months and no longer uses it (and hasn't for a while), this is what we concluded:

Pros: * suitable for a 4 month old learning to hold a cup
* good for teething
* no leaks if child throws it around

Cons: * impossible to line up handles with spout
* hard to drink from (liquid will come out when chewed on, but the spout has to be completely in child's mouth)

** Yes, I would recommend this item **

I'm definitely disappointed with this sippy cup. After the first dishwasher cleaning (top rack) the cup now leaks and the leak is NOT coming from how the nipple was secured. I like the soft nipple, but it's back to finding another type/brand.

Like the title states my baby pulls and bites at the lid which is silicone which in turn makes it very easy to come apart from the plastic that holds the silicone lid in place. With that in mind I am sure you can see the mess I had with cleaning up liquid from the floor, clothing, etc. Since the product was so awful I taught my baby how to sip through a straw, it takes a little time, and it is very worth the time. My baby now does not have to tip anything upside down to get the liquid out. Like the normal sippy cups. We go to restaurants and we get a kid cup with a straw and my baby sips through it like a pro. Buy the way my baby is only 10 months old!! Try Munchkin My First Straw Cup

it takes too long to fidgit with to get a good seal when capping cup, plus i've had a number of the handles break from constant throwing on the ground. I found another Nuby product I really liked much better the nipple pieces are smaller but they have worked well for about 8 months.
