From the Manufacturer

TILTY's patent pending ergonomic design makes learning to drink easier and more comfortable. TILTY cup's patent-pending ergonomic design creates a comfortable and natural drinking experience. TILTY keeps the liquid at an angle and allows it to flow to the spout with minimal effort so that your little one doesn't have to tilt his/her head back as far. TILTY makes finishing the last drops a cinch and creates habits that will help your baby transition from sippy cups to "grown-up" cups easier and quicker. TILTY comes with a snap-on lid and does not have a valve, which according to the American Dental Association is better for a toddler's dental development.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best sippy cup I've found, somewhat unsure about #5 plastic June 22, 2009

By Sunshine

These first two paragraphs are an update to my original review. I'm motivated to write them because of a recent experience I had while communicating with Tilty about the plastic used in their cups. I initially contacted the company after purchasing their new smoothie lids (with larger opening) to find out whether or not those lids contain BPA (the packaging at the time did not say). I received a response within 24-48 hrs, over the weekend no less! The response indicated the new smoothie lids do not contain BPA; they are made out of the same #5, BPA-free plastic as the original Tilty cups.

Then, after doing a little research online, I found that there have been some studies linking #5 plastic (polypropylene) to the leaching of chemicals that are not safe for human consumption. To be fair, it appears there has not been a ton of research done on this, so I don't want to be alarmist, but when I contacted Tilty to see what information, if any, it could provide on this concern, the company never responded. It's been about 2 weeks now. If there isn't any known, confirmed safety issue with the #5 plastic it's using, why not say that?

Subsequent to this updated review on Amazon (this is now a second update, May 2011), I received an email from Tilty asking me if I'm the one who wrote the review on Amazon questioning the safety of #5 plastic. The rep said the company never got my email asking about #5 plastic (if true, then how did the company suspect I wrote the review on Amazon?) and said to check back on the Tilty website for a posting responding to this concern. I never went and did that, but I give the company credit for seeking me out after my Amazon posting. I've received some comments on my review telling me that #5 is safe, and I very much appreciate the input, but I think that notion is really just the conventional wisdom right now, not necessarily backed by any hardcore science. Nevertheless, I'm resigned to the fact that we can never be totally sure that anything is 100% safe.

Original review...There are a plethora of sippy cups out there and many of them work just fine, but several are a pain to clean because of having 3 parts and many have a spout that encourages chewing rather than sipping (because of the similarity to a baby bottle nipple).

The Tilty only has two parts (both very easy to clean) and the spout is quite different from a baby bottle nipple. It's hard to see in the picture, but it's just a small, sloped, smooth piece of plastic with two holes in it. There are definitely other cups out there with similar spouts to that on the Tilty, but usually they have another strike against them like not being BPA or PVC free (this applies to many cups) or not having a lid that can easily be removed (such as the Green Sprouts cup).

It's true that the cup will leak if turned in various ways, but I think this is the price you have to pay for having a cup that is closer to a real cup than the no-spill variety (such as Munchkins or Nuby, both of which have a spout on which my 13-month old likes to chew).

I see now (update May 2011) they make a travel lid, which is great. That should take care of the leak issue. Luckily, I have a second child now, and I can use those lids with him! I used the smoothie lids with my toddler, and those worked great.

This is a very good cup, despite my reservations about #5 plastic, one of the best available on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sippy cup out there! June 9, 2009

By T. Shattuck

Color Name:Clear

I started looking for a new sippy cup after watching my baby tilt her head all the way back trying to drink from her Born free sippy cup. Luckily I stumbled upon this product. Now my little girl drinks comfortably and has no problem holding the cup (I got it when she was 10 month old). The cup only spills if you turn it all the way upside down. I don't have a problem with it because I think the sippy cups should help baby transition to a regular cup and not be a toy. With this cup your baby will actually drink instead of playing with a cup because they can't get any liquid out of it.

I absolutely love this product and purchased it as gifts for my friends with little babies.
