Playtex Sipster Cup 9 oz. - 2 pk.

They infrequently leak from the spout and very, very rarely from anywhere else. The lids fit well. The valve inserts easily and stays in place even when the cup is dropped. Replacement valves are readily available, however in two years I've never needed to replace a valve because it's worn out.

There are a few negatives, though. The spouts do wear quite a bit with children with teeth. With the opaque cup it's hard to see how much liquid, especially water or milk, is in the cup. The ridges on the lid tend to collect food from the child's hand. The lid cleans well in the dishwasher, but it's not easy to clean the ridges with a quick wipe.

Weighing the positives and negatives, this is our sippy cup of choice.

My kids LOVE these cups! And frankly so do I :) They have a very easy to use valve that allows kids to easily drink. They are easy to clean and perfect for travel. May not be for a beginning cup user. My daughter preferred a soft spout when she started using a cup and these are hard plastic.


No Leaks, and she can drink from it!   August 28, 2002

Last year when I was pregnant, I asked other moms which cups and bottles to use. A few told me playtex, but most told me Avent bottles and sippy cups were the only way to go. Well, I decided to go Avent, and here I am writing a review for a playtex sippy cup. Avent sippy cups are hard to hold, difficult to drink from when the cup is not filled to capacity, a pain to clean, and worst of all they leak. The spout leaks (nothing magic about those cups) and the collars can leak too. I finally decided after 5 months of using Avent magic cups with little success, to give the "hard to use" (as one mom had classified) playtex cup a try. The difference was astounding. My daughter could easily drink from this cup on the first try. The cup is easy to clean (its only 3 pieces as opposed to the 5 or 6(w/handles) pieces for the avent cup), assemble and use. I'm sorry I didn't at least register for a pack of these when I was pregnant. I should mention that I
