This sippy cup is the unsolved problem for every parent. “We want our kid to learn how to drink from things other than a breast or a bottle…buuuut…. we also don’t want huge puddles on the floor.”
Such a conundrum. Do we get ones with a little spout? What if they bite the spout off? Shoot. They just bit off the spout. OK, ummm… this one says “bite-proof.” Oh, that’s cool. Here’s a bite-proof sippy-cup little Josie. Oh wait… Josie just bit off the bite-proof sippy cup.
Having gone through three kids, this was the scenario every time. I wish I had discovered the 360 earlier than my fourth child but here we are. An old dog learning new tricks.
The price point really isn’t any more than the sippy cups with a spout. It’s super durable (we’ve watched it be thrown on the floor dozens of times from a high-chair) and it has the coolest technology. The baby learns to gently bite down on the rubber pad and then sucks the water. When the baby stops, so does the flow of water.
We’ve even picked up the cup after sitting upside-down for awhile on the floor and– no leaking.
If the baby presses on the pad with its thumbs or presses the pad against its body, you will have some leakage. But frankly, we’ve been amazed at how few puddles and messes we have had in comparison to the cups with spouts. My only regret is not discovering this sippy cup sooner.
Lastly, it is ridiculously easy to clean and you don’t need a bottle-brush, because it’s not narrow- just an average-sized children’s cup.
