Dr. Brown's Milestones Baby's First Straw Cup, Training Cup with Weighted Straw, 9oz/270mL, Dark Blue/Vintage Yellow, BPA Free, 6m+, 2 Pack

This is our favorite cup for our 18 month old. Why? Here are my reasons:- handles- the weighted ball makes sure he can get liquid no matter the position, even when he's laying upside down on his nugget couch- the straw doesn't seem to leak milk out of the top as badly as other straw cups we own (looking at you First Years cup)- cover allows me to pack this in his diaper bag for travel and not worry about getting the straw dirty.Only downside? This disassembles to 5 separate pieces. The lid is a B to put on sometimes because you have to match up just right so that the notches fit over the handles. Otherwise, it doesn't screw on properly. This doesn't bother me too much. 10 seconds of unfiltered cursing and I'm on my merry way.

This was the perfect bottle for our baby to transition from a bottle to straw. She loves the handles, she can drink from any position, the flat straw makes for easy suction.A few comments said it leaks. I've found that if you have to attach the straw pieces (the part with the ball and the mouth portion) really tightly, otherwise it leaks like crazy. So before we use it, we give that piece an extra squeeze and we haven't had a leak since.The downsides - it has a lot of pieces to wash and put together. The handle and the top piece are a little annoying to keep aligned during assembly .I will line up the handle and the top and hold it in place with one hand while screwing on the bottom.

These cups are great. They don’t leak like ALL of the other cups I’ve tried. My 10 month old has no problem drinking from them, and the way they are designed keeps them from being able to guzzle their drink and choke. I think that’s where the negative comments come from with how it’s harder to get the drink out, it’s not. The first sip is hard but after that they’re fine, and again keeps them from choking which I think is a plus! He can also hold onto it perfectly. I got the bigger versions for my 22 month old and he also loves them. These are my go to from now on, easy to clean and dishwasher safe. They’re awesome!

We introduced our daughter to these straw cups when she was 11 months old. It took her a few times to figure out how to use a straw to get milk, but then she easily drank from it. I like that the weighted straw allows her to hold the cup at any angle. Having ounce markings allows me to monitor exactly how much she is drinking. It has held up to being dropped from the high chair. We put the pieces in a bottle basket in the dishwasher to clean. The only issue is that the pressure builds up, especially if you tighten the lid too much, and liquid will start leaking out of the straw all over the lid. For this reason, I usually don't use these cups away from the house.

This cup has been absolutely amazing! We have been using it for over a year now, and my daughter has thrown it from her high chair multiple times, and it doesn’t break. She can drink out of it from any angle. It gives her just the right amount of drink without choking her. I highly recommend it as a first cup!

The price is great for these 2 cups but I'm sure there are better options available. At first nothing would come up the straw so I had to Google it and found a TikTok where a mom explained there is a valve in the straw mechanism that cannot be covered or nothing will go up the straw, so insert the other piece in it but leave the valve hole open. Once I made sure I had it put together as she shows in her video, it immediately worked properly. None of this information is in the instructions that come with the cups, by the way. The other problem is that they are not leak or spill proof. My 1 year old decided to shake the cup around while it still had milk in it and it leaked out through the straw, the top, etc. and we had droplets of milk all over the place! I have not tried bring a cup with liquid in it in the diaper bag but I imagine I would have a leaky mess if I did. If you supervise your kid while they are drinking, these cups do the job and are a good value for 2 of them. Otherwise, they are a frustrating mess.

We love this cup. It is easy to use for my kiddo and it makes little to no mess. If there is liquid in the straw it can leak out, but thats it. The cup doesn't leak otherwise. It's dishwasher safe and kiddo approved.

This would get 5 star but the only flaw is that it is SO DANG difficult to get the lid to screw on. I literally want to pull my hair out and I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. It’ll go on eventually but takes me about 5 minutes of fiddling with it. other than that, these cups work as they should and my 1 year old loves them
