bc babycare2 PACK Weighted Straw Sippy Cups for Baby, Drink from any Angle, Spill Proof Cups for Toddlers 1-3 with Handle,Leak Proof, Dishwasher Safe, Tritan, BPA Free 8oz(Yellow,Green)

My friend has a son and wants to teach him to drink from a straw. I saw this and thought this would help. I wish this came in more designs, but I got him the monster design. This comes in a box, so it's perfect to wrap or stick in a gift bag. These are easy to wash. I like that the straw part you are able to cover when not in use, so it's not exposed. Also like there are handles for baby to try and hold by themselves.

These sippy cups are so nice. They are very spill proof. What I really like is the weight at the bottom of the straw. It will always lean towards the bottom where the drink is. Your toddler will always have the straw in his/her drink to be able to drink. The only thing I don't like is that your child has to have their mouth over the whole straw in order to get it to work. You have to put pressure in the middle of the straw in order to get the drink to flow.

The bc babycare 2 PACK Weighted Straw Sippy Cups are a game-changer for toddlers! These cups are designed with a weighted straw that allows little ones to drink from any angle, making it easy for them to stay hydrated without spills.

The vibrant yellow and green colors are appealing, and the overall quality is excellent.These sippy cups are perfect for toddlers aged 1-3 and have quickly become a staple in our household. Highly recommend them for their functionality and ease of use!

It took me a while to make my mind up about these cups. They do what they're supposed to do (provide a leak-proof, dishwasher-safe straw cup), so I should be able to say that I like them, but a couple major caveats prevent me from giving a glowing review.--I find them extremely fiddly. They are a pain to put together and to take apart, with the straw alone consisting of four separate pieces, three of which are tiny. Then you also have the cup itself, the lid and its seal or gasket, and the handles. It's several pieces for each cup, and they're all a tight fit. This makes sense for obvious reasons, but the result is not user-friendly.It takes some time to work the little weight into the bottom of the tiny tube for the interior portion of the straw, and the same for the transitional bit at the top. Once those three things are together, it slotseasily into the exterior portion of the straw.Forcing the gasket into place in the narrow channel in the cap is also tricky. Occasionally it goes right in with no problem, but almost always involves a process of smoothing it down into place on one side of the circle, and that causing it to pop back out of of the track on the opposite side. So then you press it all back down again, and it pops out again somewhere else. Repeat tamping it down all the way around, as often as necessary, until it finally stays in place. Getting the handles lined up just right so they slot all the way down out of the way isn't a huge deal, but is important in order for the lid to be able to screw all the way down into place.Having all these small parts makes putting them through the dishwasher a tricky proposition, at least with the basket I have, as they can fall out through the grid. For this reason, I wash the cups by hand but, again, the pieces are teeny. When you have wet, soapy hands, dropping one in the sink or on the floor is very easy. Game over.Even the process of drinking from these cups can be a bit fiddly. What I mean by that is that in order to get anything, your mouth has to be on the right place on the straw. It has a sort of membrane that acts as barrier to keep water from flowing out too rapidly, but your mouth has to press down on the right point of the straw in order to open that membrane and let liquid through at all. I discovered this by accident when, the first few times I set the cups up, I took a test sip to make sure I had done everything correctly, and water would flow. Depending on where my mouth was, I might get nothing or very little. Concerned that I must have done something wrong, I would try again further down, and get water. I can see that sometimes the kiddo I'm watching will try drinking closer to the opening of the straw, and get nothing, and move further down, placing more of the length of the straw in their mouth. Now that they're used to it, they often just put the whole thing in their mouth, with their lips almost up against the cap.2) The proportions are awkward. Before this, I had bottles, and sippy cups with a spout. These were taller and narrow, with a 'waist' which made them easy for a baby to grasp. By contrast, these cups are much more blocky or squat. If the handles aren't on, the toddler I watch has a hard time holding onto the cup, especially if their hands are juicy or greasy from the food they're eating. If they're eating fruit, for instance, or French fries, the cup will slip right out of their hands, and it's frustrating. If we're at home, I put the handles on, but if we're on an outing, I leave them behind, since the cup won't fit properly otherwise. I have a milk cooler with an excellent molded icepack, and I pack it with a couple bottles, a cup of water, and an assortment of wet and dry snacks whenever we go out. The cup is so wide, I didn't think it would fit at all, but I can squeeze it in without the handles.A related issue is the shape of the base. If you look at the photos in the product listing, maybe you'll notice something that I didn't, which is how the wide shape of the cup narrows down to a small, rounded base. We found that this makes it much less stable, and easier to tip over.Your situation could well be different, but the principle stands. Be aware that the cup is very wide, making it more difficult for little hands to hold without the handles, yet putting the handles on makes the cup wider still. For instance, it may not fit in many cupholders, if you want something for the car. It also has that small base with rounded edges, which can tip easily if it's not on a flat, hard surface.In the end, I would say that these are okay. Mine work. They do exactly what they're supposed to do. The child's parents wanted to switch from spout cups to straw cups, and these are technically dishwasher-safe (though I don't recommend that method), and they are leak-proof. I would suggest, however, that you may want to shop around a bit first, and see what your other options might be. I wouldn't urge you to avoid these, but neither would I give my hardy recommendation.

These sippy cups are good except for two things. First, they are rather difficult to put together. It takes me several attempts before I can succeed in screwing on the tops. Second, the straw needs to be bitten in order to drink. I understand that this is to prevent leakage, but it makes it a little inconvenient to use. The straw needs to be bitten at a very specific strength, otherwise, the liquid will not flow. One of my twins is not drinking happily from these cups because of that.

My baby loves these cups! Very easy to clean and install, baby can drink easily as well. 5 stars!

The build quality of these sippy cups is pretty good and the monster designs will work for either boys or girls. They can definitely survive a drop. I really like that the handles are curved instead of going straight down, so they're very easy for little hands to hold, and I like how solidly the lid clicks over the straw. They're okay to clean; not the easiest but not the most tedious I've ever seen, either. My biggest problem with them is that the tops can be finicky to screw on properly. The handles have a special groove that they have to slot into a certain way, or else the top won't go on. If you're tired or in a hurry and forget to live everything up perfectly beforehand, it's an irritating struggle to put these together. That being said, once you do get the top on they don't leak (so far) so I'm happy with them overall.

Great cups. Leak proof and they have such fun and cute little seatings
