Sippy Cups

[lovemylife]

Is there really such a thing as a leak proof sippy cup? If there is, I have yet to find it!

I have some Nuk sippy cups that work great, never leak. I looked online to see if I could find a link for you. I was unsuccessful. Sorry. Mine are older so I couldn't find the exact ones I have.

These don't have the best reviews for some reason, but after seeing all kids of sippy cups come through my room at the center I work at, these are really the first ones I've seen that don't leak at all. I don't find it hard to clean either.

I've always felt like these ones are the best of the more basic cups:

Sure, Playtex are my favorite brand. If they are lying down for an extended period and full they might leak. Like if a baby throws them down and you don't find it for awhile. Otherwise, they are great and don't leak at all. I've used them for years.

I start with these:

Then switch to these after awhile because it seems better for their teeth. Just me, the others might be fine. (without spout)

So I may just have really bad luck with sippy cups because I am always cleaning up spilled milk and water off the floor. I will go to the store this weekend and try some of these!

We use the Munchkin Click Lock for my child. For DKC's, I have two different Playtex styles. None have leaked at my house, unless I have assembled them improperly.

I don't let kids walk around with sippys. They must use them at the table. I think that helps a lot too.

I just use the nuby ones with the hard mouth spout and the white plastic valves. But after they are 18 months I take the valves out.

My kids ONLY get drinks at the table, so I don't have any issues here with anything getting in the floor.

Same here! Drinks are only allowed in the kitchen and need to be put back on the table when they are through. Of course, outside they can end up anywhere but they are responsible for bringing theirs back in.

I just have a little table right inside the door. When they ask or I offer, they stand by the table, drink and go back out.

With my daycare children the cups are to be kept on the kitchen counter or on the table. But someone elbows it or somehow knocks it over and it leaks. My 19 month old on the other hand can be a little stinker! Getting him to keep it in the kitchen is really hard, so that is a work in progress. He is constantly thirsty and always drinking! He will leave it on the couch and it will leak or throwing it and splattering it all over the place.

All of my kids KNOW better than to leave the kitchen wi food or a cup.

Ad I only allow drinks and food at designated meal or snack times. Unless we are outside on a hot day. Then they get lots of extra water.

I've never used sippy cups with my kids. They went from a bottle to a covered cup with a straw and from there to an open cup. I've never had a problem with leaking even when they've been tipped over for a while. I've never like the "babying" aspect of using sippy cups for a toddler.

These are the cups that I use. They are sold as disposables but I just toss mine in the dishwasher and they hold up very well.
