Straw sippy cups - need recommendations

heehee611

DS just learned how to drink from my older DS's straw cup today, but I'm not crazy about the ones we have.  They are the Playtex sipster ones, and the milk comes out through the straw as it warms up, making a huge mess when he has it in the car or walking around the house with it.  Please recommend your straw sippy cups!

I know the cup your talking about..those are horrible. We have had the best luck with the munchkin brand. I just got a new one from target. It was sold as a single cup..they are the character ones which I wasn't crazy about. We have had Elmo now Dora. I have yet to see it leak. The only negative thing is that the picture on the cup chips off from washing it. I like to soak them so that's probably why.

We have two different kinds of Munchin brand straw sippies. I like the one that the straw doesn't fold up. It seems to leak less. They both leak if liquid gets stuck in the straw, but it's only a little bit. I don't know if that makes sense, my head is pounding and my son is fussy!

I can relate to the Playtex leaking situation, so my faves are the Nuby and the Munchkin straw cups.
 
As a random bonus, the "cups" are interchangeable with both brand "lids".  (Does that make sense?)

HTH.

Another vote for Munchkin straw sippies. I use the ones with silicone tops and the character ones with the fold down straws. I like both.

Are you putting the cups in the fridge?  I've noticed the cups that we haven't put in the fridge at all don't leak.  But after we've put them in the fridge the valve goes to sh*t. 

We use kid Camelbaks for water, but we never put them in the fridge.  We just deal with our Playtex for everything else, because I don't like the way milk gets trapped in the straw of our Nuby, and DD couldn't get milk out of the Munchkin ones.

DS loves the Munchkin straw cups that do not flip out. He will not drink from the ones that flip out. Of course they stopped carrying them in stores. So thanks for posting the link to amazon. I'm going to order some more :-)

We love the Nuby straw sippy cups. I orginally bought the Playtex and hated them.

We use the Tommee Tippee Explora straw cups. They never leak.

Another vote for Nuby.

You have to be more vigilant about cleaning the straws well, but they never leak & DD loves them.

We've been using the Munchkin ones.  When the straws start to leak, I order new ones from the Munchkin website.

We love Zoli brand.  I think we have 6 so far!

I have the ZoLi brand too, although after a few months it now is starting to leak. :-(  And I'm not sure if it's the weather or what, but as soon as I switched from EBM to WCM all of a sudden the milk always comes up the straw, leaving a huge mess!

I just got the kids Camelback and have been testing it with water and so far it's done wonderfully.  I'm still not sure if it's a good container for milk though so I might have to try some of these other options as an alternative.
