Munchkin Any Angle Weighted Toddler Straw Cups with Click Lock Lid, 10 Ounce, 2 Pack, Blue/Green

I wish I had known about these a year ago.
I would have had my son on straws a year ago. He’s a few weeks from 2 years old, and because he was a bit behind in speech development, it was recommended we lose the sippy and get him on straw drinking. Problem is, he’s been drinking from a bottle and sippy his whole life, and he tips up his drink, just out of habit. So, two months after I’ve given up possibly dehydrating my son (exaggerating; that was never a danger) by only letting him drink during supervised sessions, and enduring many fits because I wouldn’t let him hold the cup, THIS MIRACLE product shows up in my recommendations on Amazon.It’s simply a godsend.I don’t caaaarrrrre that it takes three different tools to clean. Sponge for cup, bottle brush for lid. Special straw brush (provided) for the straw. (Which, by the by, manufacturer, can you please not bother giving me a bendy straw brush for a bendy straw? Thing is, the straw can get straight. The brush? Cannot. Fixed handle, please.) The straw brush included SUUUCKS but it works. At first, I thought, How Cool, this little bendy brush for a bendy straw…but it’s TINY and hard to grip, Especially when you’ve got soapy hands. Also, because it is flimsy, and the straw is flimsy, things get weird.If you don’t put the lid on properly, and I’m talking EXACT pressure here, it will back-fill and ooze liquid from the top of the straw. Doesn’t happen all the time, but gets worse as the cup gets older. Other brands have done the same thing, so I’m used to it, and adjust accordingly. I’m not even sure it’s the lid’s fault. I might be overfilling. Whatever. It drips sometimes from the straw. Not often, maybe once every few days.But, in all seriousness, I am grateful for this. My toddler has already improved in his speech development because he is able to drink as he’s used to, while developing the muscles in his mouth. The weighted straw allows him to lay back and drink his juice while he’s listening to stories, or sucking down milk at naptime, or just tip the cup up because that’s what he’s done forever. There isn’t just a taaaad bit of milk left in the bottom because it got caught in a pocket, because the straw reaches every bit of the inside of that cup.I love these cups. LOVE. I feel like I am winning at life every time I hand one to my son. Spill that, kid. Hide it somewhere when you’re done so that I find it in two days, ’cause there’s nothing in it to go sour. Challenge accepted, Mom.He still gets the last laugh, though; I have to wash it.

Our grandson chews the straws
Pros: The weighted straw allows the child to drink, regardless of the cup angle. It is pretty leak proof.Cons: If the drink is cold and warms up, it may leak a little. Not really a con, more the result of physics.Advice: Make sure that the lid is installed correctly. If it is a little catty-wonker, it will leak. Make sure the straw is pulled all the way, and that the cover for the vent is in the correct location, it will leak. Check for mold. It can start in the lid around the straw and vent. Clean the straw with the supplied brush, daily.Improvements: Sell replacement straws. Our grandson has chewed up three straws. The cups and lids are fine.I highly recommend these cups.

The Best Sippy Cup
These cups are a staple in our house. We’ve used them for both of our kids and both of them adapted well and used the cups with ease. If the lids are on properly (twisted until you hear the click), they do not leak at all and can survive the toddler “toss off the table.” The weighted straw makes it SO easy for really young toddlers to drink from the cup and always get liquid up the straw. The only thing I don’t like about them is the process for cleaning the straws. The straws are very narrow and wiggly so you need to use a small brush to get inside them but that negative far outweighs the benefits on these for me.

I have been using the smaller one since my daughter was a baby. This works for water only. Juice spills all the time.

My son was breastfed until a year old. Around 8 months he was showing interest in straws so I decided to try these cups as I liked their features. My son caught on to them quickly and uses these all the time now and never bothered with bottles. Their ability to be used at any angle is great, and my son has been testing that out more and more. I use one for milk/pediasure and the other one for juices/water. They have a few difficult spots to clean but with a bottle brush and the provided straw brush you just need to take a minute or two and make sure it’s all clean. I do find they leak pretty easy if they have build up pressure (from change of temperature or being tossed around) so I just make sure to twist the top off and on quickly to release the pressure before opening and be sure to check that the straw suction piece is attached properly to the lid as it can leak if detached (happens from my son feeling the need to toss it if I don’t take it from him within the 2.5 seconds he decides he is done with it). Even with the time needed to check they won’t leak and clean them I love these cups; they are super durable and great for my son.
