Amazon Brand - Mama Bear Silicone Weighted Straw Sippy Cup, 9 Ounces, Pack of 2, Blue/Green

Second time I buy these my toddler prefers these, they don’t leak and she can eat open all on her own (she’s 2). We have tried other more expensive ones and these are the best and two for the price of what one would cost you! They are a a hassle to clean especially once grime gets in the button area had to toss out older ones due to the inability to clean it properly. But they don’t leak and take a heck of a beating when dropped very sturdy.

This straw cup is a great everyday choice for toddlers — the weighted straw means little ones can drink from it at almost any angle and holds the water well, and the removable handles plus small size make it easy for small hands to grip comfortably. The 9-ounce size is ideal for babies around 6 months and up, and the BPA-free, dishwasher-safe design means cleanup is simple and safe for daily use. It’s fairly spill-resistant and travel-friendly, which helps when you’re out and about. On the downside, straw cups in general — this one included — can be a bit of a hassle to clean thoroughly, especially the straw components. Overall, it’s a solid, practical cup that helps toddlers transition from bottles — particularly useful if you want convenience plus fuss-free sipping. The colors are bright and this cup is pretty stable and hardly tips over!

These sippy cups are great. They work well and the kids have no problem using them. Only complaint is that milk gets stuck in the crevice of the lid that is difficult to remove unless you use the dishwasher. Other than that, the cups are a good price and durable. Recommended.

After buying 1-2 of almost every type of cup (sippy cups, 360 cups, munchkin straw cup, and these), this was the best purchase. The straw has definitely been a better success than the sippy or 360 cup, so here's my two cents on the two best straw cups. Compared to the Munchkin cup: The MamaBear wins the price competition, and coming in a 2-pack was just a nice convenience. Cleaning is about the same for both, but the MamaBear has the edge. I feel like the MamaBear is actually easer to get completely clean because the straw piece comes apart at the top. Milk drains out quickly and easily as soon as the pieces are disconnected, and shorter straw-type pieces are easier to clean than the longer full-length straw on the Munchkin that doesn't come apart. It also dries quicker than the Munchkin, which isn't a huge deal when you have them on rotation every couple of days anyway. Other MamaBear wins: ounce markings on the cup so I actually know how much is being consumed; the flip top on the MamaBear is more sturdy than the Munchkin slide open top that pops open every time my child throws his cup; and I am not a fan of the "click-lock" of the Munchkin because one of my two is defective and doesn't click (not great odds for them). Spills/leaks are pretty good with both (except on the one Munchkin cup that doesn't click-lock properly). Any straw cup will hold a bit of milk in the top of the straw, but other than that, it's not been an issue. Clearly I am a fan of these over the munchkin brand cups...I have 2 of each, and I definitely prefer these. My son loves both, so that matters too. Also, I overanalyzed and looked at like 100 cups. I wish I'd just started here, so hopefully I can save someone else the time and effort...just buy these!

I have bought probably hundreds of cups. They all spill or leak. These are the MACK DADDY of all cups. Taught my toddler how to drink from a straw and they DO NOT LEAK OR SPILL. Will only buy these cups from now on.

Great in theory, mediocre in execution. The weighted straw makes it much easier for kids to drink out of this cup. However, once the liquid is brought up into the straw, it will not fall back down into the cup. When the lid closes, the liquid is pressed out of the straw into the lid. It can leak out and drips directly into the latch mechanism, which is not easily accessible to clean. If there were a simple pressure valve to release the liquid back into the cup, this would probably be close to perfect.

These have been great so far. I’m not positive what the weight is for - there is no specification. My 8 month old has sipping this with ease. Easy to wash and clean. Comes with mini pipe cleaner to clean straw.

After using these cups for more than 4 years, I’ve realized they are not something I will continue to buy. Straw cups were recommended by our child’s speech pathologist to improve muscle strength in our child’s mouth & help with speech, so I used these for many years thinking they were great. Enter the Dr. Brown’s straw cup, & suddenly these are not quite so great to me. For one, the main issue we’ve had over the years is black mold forming behind the button, as milk would drip from the straw & build up in that area, & it is impossible to clean behind the button (it was honestly nasty). This has required us to toss out so many cups & replace. Great for Amazon, not so great for our wallet. This last round of cups was even worse, as you can see the top doesn’t shut well, & is almost impossible to open. I tried to return & Amazon was refusing to return, as I had opened the packaging (sort of a necessary step to find out something is defective). I had to call customer service, & even they were hesitant to help me because I had opened them. It definitely made me hesitant to continue using Amazon brand products, as it didn’t seem like they were all too willing to stand behind them. My suggestion, skip the mama bear cups & go straight to Dr. Brown’s cups. They are easy to clean thoroughly (no black mold ever), & easy to open (my child who is under two can figure it out & help himself to water when he needs it). An added plus, the Dr. Brown’s cups were actually cheaper when I got them!
