I've decided that this is our sippy cup. I like the fact that it's easy to put together, doesn't leak and that you can stash it in pockets, pouches, etc. We've tried many others, including:

Born Free - wasn't accepted (I think it was just too much of a contraption for a 12-mo old)
Nuby - broke after multiple tosses on the floor
Nuk - like it, but the handles attach at the bottom, making it difficult to stash in pockets/pouches. Also, it seems like my daughter sucks in a lot of air with it.
Munchkin - my daughter likes it and its the brand they use at her daycare, but it's hard to center the nipple just right. Also, my daughter loves the fact that she can turn it upside down, squish the nipple on the table, and dump out a puddle of milk. She would give it an A+ for entertainment value, Mommy, not so much.
Tilty - I like the concept but there are no handles, and the nipple isn't the best

We'll stick with Playtex for now!

This sippy is great. We haven't had any leaks with it. I love the simple valve system that is easy to pop in and out for washing. Very few parts make it easy to keep track of all the pieces and reassemble when they come out of the dishwasher. The kid loves them. The size is great. Very durable.

I used these for my first child and now I'm expecting baby #2 and am stocking up again on these. If you rinse them out after your child uses them and don't let them sit around, they are easy to rinse out. I never had a mold or mildew issue with them. A friend of mine had issues with every type of sippy cup on the market because they were "too hard to clean." It doesn't matter what type you use, don't let them sit. Rinse them out after your child finishes their drink and you will always have a clean cup with no hassle. I was very excited to find these still on the market and I intend to use these as my only sippy cup for my second baby. Love them.

This was the third sippy cup we tried for my 12month old daughter. There was a similar cup with a silicon spout that she chewed right through (choking hazard!!!). This one has a hard spout that is covered in silicone (or some other soft material) so she cannot chew through it. We have been using them now for over a month and have found no flaws.

The flow is perfect for her, the weight, size, everything is exactly what we needed. I should have known, since Playtex also was the perfect bottle for us when switching between breastfeeding and bottle feeding.

We purchased these sippy cups as our son was transitioning away from a bottle. The handles are easy to grab and the nozzle has a little flexibility to it, even though it remains fairly rigid (a good thing). The sippy cup claims it's no leak ... when you twist the top shut, you're supposed to get an arrow on the top between two lines on the cup ... then you're ensured there will be no leaking. I found it's very hard to twist the top far enough to get between the lines ... and when you do, it's REALLY hard to open again (I have yet to do it with my bare hands - always need to reach for a towel to help). That said, we haven't had any issues with leaking when the arrow isn't between the lines, so we'd still recommend this sippy cup.

I used these with my daughter 4 years ago and she loved them. I bought these for my 6 month old son to start cup training. He took to them right away. he still hasn't gotten the holding the handles part, but the soft tip helped him transition realy easily. I like these better than other ones as they handle is attached to the top. With others the tip and the handles would never line up. I was kind of scared purchasing without being able to pick color, but I got green and blue so worked perfectly.

I read about a number of sippy cups prior to making this purchase, and I'm quite happy with this Playtex product. It's been my family's experience that these are authentically leak proof. You can hold them upside down, drop them on the floor, shake them . . . and they don't leak. My daughter took to them readily, and we also convinced her to start using one of them (a specifically dedicated pink cup) at night in lieu of her bottle. In general, we have a lot of "fancier" products, but in this case, the Playtex beats out the much more expensive products such as the "Safe Sippy." Though we do have a Safe Sippy, it has a tendency to leak a lot. Overall, no complaints about these nice cups!

As another commenter said, the valve is easy to remove and clean, but the inside of the spout is very hard to get to. I've also had to use a toothpick to get into the corners because black mold collects in there. No matter what I did, I couldn't get to those spaces to clean it out. Also, the plastic makes the drink taste terrible. If you've had juice in it, the plastic holds the flavor and then your next drink (water) has a hint of the juice. It's gross and I could never wash it out. I've had to throw mine out.

The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because it doesn't spill, though, if the valve gets loose, it will.

I was looking for another cup for my daughter who was recently weaned and is now drinking whole milk. I think this cup would work well for an older toddler who is transitioning to a hard spout cup, but not for a transition from bottle to sippy cup. I have a Nuby silicone spout cup with handles that my daughter loves, but I couldn't find another one so I thought I would try these. My daughter really doesn't car for the cup, mostly I believe due to the shape of the spout. She won't drink as much milk out of these as she does out of her other cup. If you are looking for a sippy for a baby just learning to use a sippy cup, this is not the product for you.

My daughter is almost 2 years and still uses these cups on occasion, it was a great sippy cup to transition from the bottle. However, the only downside was the flow was almost too much from the bottle to sippy.
