This cup only allows the liquid to be in contact with the soft silicone spout and glass. The Glass Sip & Straw has the standard sippy-style spout-great for little ones moving from a bottle-and it also has a straw spout, which can be used with or without the internal straw. The variety of spout options and removable inner lid makes it versatile, and all the spouts did a great job at preventing leaks. That's why this Green Sprouts Glass Sip and Straw Cup impressed us. Looking for the best product to transition from a bottle? As baby transitions from bottle to cup, it can be helpful to have one that works in multiple ways. But this cup came out of the dishwasher completely clean after laying on its side for two days with an ounce of orange juice inside, and the straw popped into place easily. And after washing, it can be difficult to fish a straw back up through a cup’s lid. Too often, these cups have lots of nooks and crannies where moisture can accumulate and mold can grow. Another thing we liked about it was that the cup can be used without the internal straw, so if your little one prefers to tip the cup back or is just beginning to get a feel for how a real cup works, the OXO can accommodate that.īut most of all, we loved the ease of assembly and cleaning this dishwasher-safe vessel. The OXO Transitions Straw Cup with Removable Handles performed better than all the other cups when shaken and dropped (it's practically spill proof!), and on top of that, it’s a breeze to clean.įluid won’t flow through the straw unless it is compressed, which is a large part of why it wouldn’t leak for us until we tried squeezing the straw. Our biggest concerns were whether the cup leaked when shaken, how easy it was to clean, and whether it held up to repeated drops onto a hard surface (in this case, our concrete patio). The OXO Tot Transitions Straw Cup with Removable Handles is the best we tested for a number of reasons.
