Any Angle Sippy Cups

A lot of reviews I’ve read seem to be user error. My 12 month old drinks from this cup very easily in almost any position and loves it. And after figuring out a few things, I think it is nearly perfect. Let’s clear up a few things other reviews have complained about, so you will love your new cup too. 1. It leaks/bubbles out cold liquid when taken out of the fridge. -This is not a design flaw but just a physics reaction. Yes, if you take the cup from the fridge to room temp, the cold air inside the cup expands as it warms pushing out a bit of liquid from the straw. Very simple solution is to simply unscrew the top for a minute (maybe less!) so that as the air expands in room temp, and liquid isn’t pushed up and out of the straw. Seriously, try it. Very simple solution once you realize why it is happening. 2. The valve in the straw make is very difficult to drink out of. -I thought this at first as well. Please do not cut the valve out as other reviews have suggested. The valve is meant to be compressed from front to back (top to bottom) as toddler is drinking, and once compressed slightly, offers nearly no resistance to drinking. When not compressed, keeps your cup leak proof. 3. Difficult to clean. -You can also compress this valve front to back, to insert cleaning brush provided and to allow water to rinse through it easily while cleaning. Knowing how to use the valve makes cleaning very simple. 4. Not leak proof when turned upside down. -I think this has to do with improper straw and stopper placement. You must pull the straw through until it clicks into place and make sure the stopper connected to the straw is firmly placed over the air hole at the top of the lid. Then, no matter how my toddler carries it around, it never leaks when upside down. Also, make sure the lid is screwed on until the handles click over the bumps on the side to lock it on. It is easy to not screw the top on enough if you don’t know it needs to click in place to lock. I’m sure a few cup will be made with defects and this won’t fix everyone’s problems, but I think a bit more knowledge of how to use the cup properly would solve most of the complaints listed about the cup. User error seems to be the biggest problem with these cups. The only minor draw back I’ve noticed is occasionally getting flicked with liquid when my son finishes drinking and flicks the straw out of his mouth at me. But I think that will get better with time. *Please don’t let the negative reviews keep you from buying and loving this cup. Just take a minute to learn how to use it to its best potential and I think you will love this cup too!

I bought this cup for my daughter when she began her transition away from a bottle around 11 months. There are some things to note about this cup so that it functions properly. First, the straw was really hard to suck through when I first tested it. However, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE DISPOSABLE PLASTIC COVER IS REMOVE FROM THE WEIGHT AT THE END OF THE STRAW BEFORE FIRST USE. Also, it helps if you roll the top of the straw where the valve is through your fingers a couple times to initially open the valve before first use. This is also suggested in the instructions that come with the cup and I think some people who left bad reviews about the slow flow of the straw may have not done one or both of these things. I myself did not do either before trying the cup the first time and I also thought it was impossible to pull through. Second, THIS CUP DOES LEAK A SMALL AMOUNT. The valve that keeps the milk from coming up from the straw is about an inch and half below the top. This means that any milk that is in the straw above this valve will leak when the cup is tipped over, thrown, or if the straw is flicked such as when you open the cup after closing it with milk in the straw. THERE IS AN EASY FIX FOR THIS. After your child is done drinking and before the cup is thrown or closed roll the top of the straw through your fingers, so that the milk above the valve can go back down. OTHER THAN THIS I HAVE NOT HAD ANY LEAKS WHEN THE CUP IS PROPERLY CLOSED. Third, I ended up ordering 4 of these cups for my daughter to use daily for the milk we send with her meals to daycare. Somehow, I received cups from two different batches or from two different manufacturers and the tops of two do not fit the other two and vice versa. This led to the cups significantly leaking from around the rim and I thought at first, they had warped in the dishwasher. IF YOUR CUPS ARE LEAKING AROUND THE RIM, PLEASE CHECK THE PRODUCT NUMBER ON THE LID AND CUP TO SEE IF THEY MATCH EACH OTHER. Apparently, Munchkin uses more than one manufacturer, and the products are not exactly identical. This is a little annoying, but I can live with it because overall the cups work really great for my daughter. The weights straw works great, and she has even leaned all the way upside down and still been able to drink. The straw is awesome verses a sippy cup because it is actually helping to strengthen the muscles, she will use later for talking. And the handles on the side allowed her to immediately be able to drink independently without any trouble at age 11 months. OVERALL, THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT. I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING BETTER SO FAR!!!!

I bought two of these weighted sippy cups- one for my 3y/o son and one for my 1y/o daughter. My son had been using this Thomas The Train hard-spout sippy cup like, forever and a day. He was hooked on this one specific cup, like I had nightmares about him loosing it! And then the day came that his speech therapist said he needed to switch to a straw-cup (to help strengthen his mouth/face muscles). I bought a variety of straw-type sippy cups and hurled each one at him, hoping one would stick (FIGURATIVELY. Gosh... I would never want to throw anything at my sweet little darling) Eventually, he settled on one... no, not this one here. Another one. But, that one leaked everywhere. And then- the biggest problem- he would throw a darn tantrum every darn day because he couldn't get that last little bit of milk (actually the last 1/3 of the cup of milk) up through the straw while laying down because... gravity. So, I discovered these weighted-straw miracles while shopping in a Rite Aid for over-priced baby nail clippers. Oh, was I delighted! Until I saw the price- $8.99 +sales tax = no-way-jose! So, being the thrify-nifty Mama that I am, I quicky looked these puppies up here on Amazon, and they were only about $5 each... plus, being a shpeshall Prime member meant no shipping costs & I could have this new fangled invention all up in my toddlers face tomorrow. So, I bought two because I try to learn from my past missteps. We got it the very next day. My son was thrilled to be able to lay down a drink all of the milk without the torture & struggle of non-weighted-straw cups. I was relieved to not have to deal with trying to explain gravity to an almost-3-year-old. So the highlight is obviously the weighted straw part. The straw itself is a nice soft & flexible yet durable plastic-y material, and it has the "leak-proof" thing inside the straw (you know, where it needs a bit of pressure to allow the liquid to flow through it). The lid has 2 side handles that make a click to let you know that it is closed good & tight, and uses a sliding mechanism on top to open/close the straw (pop-up type). The lid also comes in some nice bright colors- I got green for my son and pink for my daughter. The cup is clear and rather small... I think this could hold 6oz, but the straw & weight take up room, really it's just a bit under 6oz. I thought these were going to be a pain to clean, but low and behold, it comes with a teeny tiny straw scrubber brush! Fantastic! And now, what I didn't really like: The spill-proof thing inside the straw becomes wide-open after so many washes with the straw scrubber brush and not-so-spill-proof... in fact, my son has given himself & his baby sister a milk shower several times. This week. I also noticed that the other part of the straw that connects inside the lid (which also has some kind of spill-stopping magic powers apparently... I'm sorry I obviously don't know the proper terminology for sipping cup anatomy) eventually becomes loose too. My son has long-ago discovered that if he shakes his sippy cup hard enough, that spill-proof part inside comes loose and he can make it rain milk (yes, my son drinks milk exclusively). This eventually happens with any and all "spill-proof" sippy cups. But the straw becoming damaged from cleaning just makes it worse. Since my daughter never used her cup, I swapped the straws out after a month. Now it's been another month and I am just careful when I scrub that section inside the straw now and it's still holding up. I really liked the clicking of the lid closing, but after opening & closing so many times, the click isn't really noticable. This brings me to my issue of the size of the cup- it's too small for my kids! Seriously both of my kids act like they are going to pass out from dehydration if they don't have their cups filled with milk at all times. This means I'm constantly rinsing/washing/refilling this little cup all day long. It's cray. But this may be just a problem for my kids and might not be an issue for yours. Overall, I do really like these cups. They are perfect for little ones who like to lay back and have a drank. My son has thrown these cups at hardwood, concrete/cement, asphalt, brick walls/pathways, gravel, and marble and they have held up thus far... many many scratches & scuffs but not a single crack! Bravo! If you decide to buy one of these don't be like me and get carried away with excitement from the tiny straw scrubber brush; gently scrub the top half of the straw where the spill-proof whatever-you-call-it is and it should last you a lifetime... I'm just kidding, it will probably get you 6 months before you're taking milk showers.

Seal isn’t great. It DOES leak if it’s upside down or thrown on the floor, but I like the click when you turn the lid. My baby does well with this since he still likes to tip the cup like a bottle. Definitely prefer this over some others since it’s easy for him to use. Color is great. Like that it comes with a straw cleaner. Only issue is to get the water out of the straw, but we use it so much it doesn’t matter. Dishwasher safe and simple cleaning.

First of all, two sippy cups for 8 bucks?? please and thank you. I bought these because my one-year-old boy has always refused to drink from a traditional bottle with a nipple. I bought him a blue one when we needed a cup for him to drink from on a trip when I forgot one of his, and my two-year-old girl began to drink from it as well. We are in the process of trying to wean her from bottles and finding something she's comfortable going to bed with if she needs to that isn't a bottle has been a struggle. I looked over one day, and for the first time saw her reclined in our bed with her tablet, sipping from this cup. I immediately bought her own. I gave my purple baby her new sippy cup and gave the other pink one to her cousin who is six months older than her. It worked for her as well, and surprisingly my niece was immediately weaned onto this sippy cup as her new "baba". We are still working on weaning my toddler lol, but let's get into the specifics. It's designed well - the lid has a cover built in (I hate having to keep track of a bottle cap to keep bottles from leaking) that's actually a good learning mechanism for the kiddos to learn how to slide forwards and backwards. I wouldn't say it cleans the easiest: the only thin straw brush that will fit is the one that comes with it, so just make sure you don't lose it, or you'll have a hard time cleaning the straw without purchasing a specifically thin one. The lid clicks on audibly when it's secure, which makes traveling with it a breeze. NO LEAKING!! It seems to be one of the most comfortable sippy cups I've used for my kiddos, and I think that's because of the thin straws and the sippy cup handles. It's lightweight as well, and the plastic seems to be durable enough I don't foresee having any issues with them breaking. Definitely a good purchase on all accounts, and if they ever lose their current ones, you can best believe I'll be buying them new ones immediately!

"Spill Proof Seal with Patented Click Lock Technology: Twist the lid until you hear a click, which signals that the seal is secure." Cool, cool. But what about the straw, Munchkin people? Kiddo leave the cup on its side? Drip, drip, drip all over the floor, couch, rug, new baby, etc. Dare to bring the cup with you in the car to pickup your kiddo from daycare on a hot day? Stand back as you open the flip top lid - milk will shoot out like a squirt gun, and your child will lose his mind as you, once again, avoid losing an eye. Kiddo displeased at his dinner selection, and in protest launches the cup across the room, narrowly missing the cats head? Queue milk dripping out of the straw as the cup Lazy Susan's itself in circles on the floor. And no, this was not a defect with one or two cups. We've gone through several because our son loves them and refuses to use anything else at this point. Every single cup did the same thing. If he didn't love them so much I'd switch to another cup in a heartbeat. They also wear out over time, especially if you clean them in the dishwasher. We noticed the lid is significantly harder to screw on after dishwasher use, as the seal is hard to attain. So why 3 stars? Glad you asked. 1 star for the weighted straw and handles (both are awesome), 1 for ease of use and easy to clean, and 1 for the lid truly having a secure seal (when not cleaned in the dishwasher). Lost 2 stars for durability over time and the leaking straw (aka the daily testing of my patience and sanity).

After trying many different types of sippy cups, these are my favorite. I have found that they are the most spill-proof and the easiest for babies and toddlers to use.

REMOVE THE COVER OFF OF THE STRAW WEIGHT!! It took me a good 3 minutes to figure out why it wasn't working. Then my 10 month old didn't want to drink from it. I couldn't convince her it worked. We'll try again at lunch. I love the straw brush came with it. This cup is just like the lansinoh b.box cups... just without the stupid high price tag.

Es un muy buen vaso, la pesa que trae el fondo es muy útil para situar el popote, mi hija lo ha usado mucho, muy duradero

ممتازه

Best straw bottle and loving it! Lightweight but good quality; able to withstand daily throwing by my 1-year-old. Easy to wash and no issues with mold (kept getting mold for pigeon sippy straw bottle). Recently started using a 2nd bottle for fresh milk at infant care (he rejects milk bottles) and he had no transition problem taking milk from it. Thumbs up!

Im a big fan of muchkin products and this one is another big hit. My bb loves drinking from it. He is a little biter and nibbles on the straw often but till now no damage to it. He throws it almost everyday and still no crack or chip. Its a very good quality product like all other Muchkin products

Mio figlio butta tutto per terra ma con questa non è riuscito a fare il solito lago. Riesce a bere anche da solo molto facilmente. La trovo molto pratica socialmente per quando siamo fuori casa!
