Product Description

The Insulated No-Spill Flip-It with its colorful two-in-one cup design not only keeps liquid fresh and cool, it also helps protect furniture from a "sweating" cup. This cup features a new soft sipper straw which is gentle to child's tender gums and emerging teeth. The soft sipper straw is covered by an easy-to-use flip top cap. This uniquely designed feature protects the sipper spout from contamination when not in use. Great for travel and short trips! Flip cap keeps sipper sanitary and clean. When child is ready to use the cup, the top cap simply "flips" back and rests in the lid of the cup. Liquids pass through straw only when your child sips. The Leak Resistant Cup dispenses a variety of liquids, ranging in consistency from fruit juices, to milk and water. All Nuby products are made of safe, durable, and non-toxic materials and exceed all government safety regulations and standards. USE: Fill cup with liquid (about 3/4 full.) Screw cap on tightly to guarantee seal. Available in Boy, Girl ; Neutral colors.

Customer Reviews

We have a 3 y.o. daughter and 15-month-old son, and because neither took to sippy cups, we have been through a LOT of straw cups. Compared to similar plastic-with-silicone-straw types in the same price range, these are by the far the best in terms of straw durability, leakage (lack of, that is) and ease of cleaning and they are the only ones we use now. The lowdown:
Construction:
1. The cups are insulated which is nice, esp when toting around milk, but the insulation isn't fantastic. For good insulation, I highly recommend the Foogo thermos cups by Thermos, once your child is old enough (it's metal, and therefore, heavy and also much more expensive than the plastic ones). But taking into consideration this cup is plastic, the insulation is decent.
2. BPA free, which is also nice.
Cleaning:
3. The straw comes in 3 parts, which is typical, but they are easy to assemble with each other and the rest of the cup, which is atypical. This makes it easy to clean, esp since it is dishwasher safe. The only thing is, because the bottom straight part falls easily through the dishwasher basket, you have to assemble it with the middle part to give it some girth and after you take it out of the dishwasher, it's usually full of water. You just have to be sure to detach, and release the water right away or the water starts to smell pretty nasty.
Durability:
4. The best part of this cup is the silicone top of the straw assembly. My kids have bitten through every single silicone straw out there, but this one has endured. That alone gives it 4+ stars in my book.
5. 1 out of 4 cups did crack on the outside after being thrown off a high chair for the 10000000000th time. Not bad.
Leakage:
6. Sometimes, the bottom part of the straw comes loose from the middle part, and then there is leakage. Otherwise, no stupid marks to line up EXACTLY with holes (like with the Munchkin brand) and is otherwise PRETTY leak-proof.
There is the same flaw you see with other straw cups: the liquid bubbling up through the straw when sitting out at room temp and the inevitable spray of liquid when opening. I think because of the insulation, it might be worse with this cup than with the others but considering the pros, I would highly recommend this cup as my toddler straw cup of choice.

These cups have a three-piece straw system that is a real pain to put together. You have to push the soft plastic part through a really tight spot created by the lock-closure on the lid. I recommend the Playtex insulated sippy cups instead.
