I was surprised to find so many positive reviews for this cup, since it's the worst one in my cabinet! I don't know how it can be called a "no-spill" cup--it drips everywhere every single time I use it. I do like the soft spout and the absence of a separate valve, but the cap insert is always popping down into the cup from the ring, and I can never get the stupid thing aligned right (the indents in the sides of the insert always slide off the nubs when I tighten the lid). I've been nothing but frustrated with this cup and plan to toss it in the recycling bin as soon as I finish this review. And the kicker is, it was not a cheap cup!

The handles make it easy for my 6-month old to hold herself, and I like that the silicone spout is soft for her to "chew" on. There are no little valves to clean (and lose), and we have had no issues with leaking - I can shake the cup upside down, and nothing comes out.

With my first child I used the Avent & Playtex sippy cups but with all the little parts to clean sometimes I would loose them and ended up buying a new one, not to mention that the spouts were hard on her gums & teeth. I think being a first time mom I was more into the brand name than anything else.
Now with my 8 month old daughter I tried this sippy cup upon the recommendation of a friend and it does work as it claims to be. The spout is soft on her gums & 2 little bottom teeths. The reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is that the spout gets sucked into the cup after she drinks the liquid so I keep on re adjusting by pulling it up. I just bought one to test and if doesn't work I guess I have to find a new one.

When I first saw these cups I thought--What a great idea! I hated cleaning out the valves on the other sippy cups I've used over the years, and this one looked perfect for my then 10 month old, so I ended up buying three, due to a trip. What a mistake. Every one of them leaks where the nipple fits into the lid. I've tried adjusting the tightness of the seal, making sure the bumps are in the right spot, etc. But it doesn't matter--this cup still leaks. I think that the width of the nipple edge under the lid just isn't wide enough to not gape open when being sucked or chewed on.

I really wish I could give this product 5 stars, but 2 is being generous, and I am only doing so because it looks nice and is easy for little ones to hold onto while they drench themselves. Sigh.

I was using nuby's basic sippy gripper cup that you see everywhere, but my son, 10 months, kept chewing on the spout. This cup has a much, much softer spout that is also easier to clean, and easier to hold onto so he can feed himself. the lid screws on good so the spout is evenly aligned with the handles. only four stars because the packaging claims a rubber skid-resistant base, but it's just smooth plastic.. the rubber doesn't go on the bottom side of the cup. and if you twist the lid too tightly, the spout insert gets mis-aligned with the grooves on the lid. If you warm the cup in a bowl of water, be sure to tip it over when done, because the water can get trapped in the base.

My 13-month old ends up covered with milk every time she uses this cup. After the first few times using it, she figured out that you can press on the top and the milk will come out the sides. The top also does not stay in place, so the valve is always off center. This is the only sippy cup I have ever just thrown in the garbage...

Our babysitter bought us this cup for our 10-month old but, although it is a great idea, the cup leaks every time it is on its side. It does not leak from the "nipple" but it leaks between the screwed-on cap and the cup. I though that the design was a pretty good one but it is really frustrating. It's going in the recycle bin this Tuesday!

We tried many different sippy cups, and the Nuby cups with the soft spouts are the only ones she will use. (She was very picky about her bottles also.) We have several different varieties, and they are all fine. Sometimes she will push the spout down into the cup, but it is easy for us to pull it back out. They are easy to take apart to clean, and they do not leak if they are put together correctly. I have noticed with the smaller cups with the handles, sometimes the spout does not line up, but we can usually start turning it on the opposite side of the cup, and it will be correct.

My son was almost three months premature. One of his complications was that he never learned to suck. To this day, he chews on his bottle nipple to get milk out. It is this reason that none of the other sippy cups worked for him. If he chewed on it, nothing happened. This is the only cup I've found that allows him to chew on the spout and still get his beverage!

Amazon has these listed for $5.99? Really? For a sippy cup? Usually I come here to get stuff cheaper than what it is in stores. By the time you paid the shipping, the price would be outrageous. Wal-Mart sells these in the baby section for $3.69! These cups are great, we're starting our son on them early to make weaning him off the bottle later a little easier. Go to Wal-Mart and get them cheaper.
