10 Sippy Cups to Suit Every Toddler’s Needs

When it comes to sippy cups, the Nuby No-Spill Easy Grip Cup is a bestseller — for good reason. It’s inexpensive, easy for toddlers to grip and suitable for babies as young as 6 months. Parents of active toddlers love that the cups don’t break when their toddlers drop them and how soft the spout is for little teeth and gums.

Considering how much your toddler will bang those sippy cups around, there’s no point in breaking the bank on cups. The NUK First Essentials Fun Grips Cup generally costs around $5 for two sturdy, 10-ounce cups in assorted colors. The cups are bite-proof, leak-proof and spill-proof, and they’re BPA-free. Users reported that they loved how easy the cups were to clean and how easy they were for toddlers to grip.

If your little one likes to bite cups until they’re no longer recognizable, try the Munchkin Click Lock Bite Proof Sippy Cup. Available in packs of two at an affordable price, parents and caretakers love that the spouts on these 9-ounce cups are difficult to bite and damage. They’re also gentle on teeth and gums, which is great for babies and toddlers who are teething. Best of all? They’re no-spill cups.

Some parents love spoutless cups because they make it easier for toddlers to transition to drinking out of a regular glass or cup. The Dr. Brown’s Cheers 360 Spoutless Training Cup is a favorite. Available in multiple colors, these 10-ounce cups are spill-proof, even though they look more like grown-up cups. Reviewers loved that they were easy to clean, easy for kids to grip and easy for adults to take apart and put together.

One of the coolest things about the Re-Play No Spill Sippy Cup is that it’s made from recycled milk jugs. The cups don’t contain any BPA, phthalates, PVC or melamine, making them a favorite among parents who are environmentally conscious. They are available in packs of three in a variety of colors. Parents love that they’re easy to clean, leak-proof and durable, so you can use them for other children in the future.

Tommee Tippee Sportee Toddler Sippy Cups are popular in the U.K., and now they’re taking North America by storm.

Parents love how easy these are to clean, the cute designs and the fact that they are truly leak-proof. They are available in packs of three and four.

Every parent knows that sippy cups disappear when they leave your house. Thanks to the low price — packs of four for just a few dollars — The First Years Take & Toss Spill-Proof Sippy Cups are great for taking to the park, to daycare or on vacation. If they get lost or destroyed, they are easily recycled, and you won’t break the bank replacing them. Parents also love how durable they are, the valve-free construction and the BPA-free, PVC-free and phthalate-free materials.

First Essentials by NUK Hard Spout Sippy Cups

— formerly known as Gerber sippy cups — will help keep your little one’s beverage cool for up to six hours. These insulated cups are available in packs of two and are leak-proof and bite-proof. Parents love that they truly don’t spill — living up to the claims made by the company — and that they’re durable. The fact that they’re easy to clean also makes them a favorite among families.

One of the biggest complaints parents have about sippy cups is that they can be hard for toddlers to hold. The Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup tackles this problem with handles that are easy for little ones to grasp. The cups are also spoutless and easy to clean. The top seals as soon as your toddler stops drinking, making it spill-proof as well. Many parents who use these say they will never go back to traditional sippy cups without handles and with hard spouts.

Dentists often recommend sippy cups with straws instead of spouts. The Philips Avent My Bendy Straw Cup just happens to be endorsed by U.S. Pediatric Dentists. The straw is not only safe for little mouths, but it also makes it easy for your toddler to get every last drop out of the cup without wasting it. Inexpensive, they are available in packs of two. Parents love that the cups stand up well to little biters and are easy to clean.
