Sippy cups X-posted

I've started transistioning of giving my daughter sippy cups but every cup
I've gotten so far leaks. Do you all have any ideas of what cups are the
best that have handles on them. So far I have tried Gerber and Playtex.
And yes the playtex one leaks much much much more then the gerber but the
valve in the gerber has a tendancy of popping out of place where I find it
floating in her cup. The Playtex cup I found my daughter sitting on the
floor with it in a puddle of juice a little bit ago.

Hi:

I too have been on a "sippy cup" quest for a few months now. The only
ones I can recommend are the Avent sippy cups. They are available in
different flow spouts (3month, 6month, 12month and toddler I think).
They are also interchangeable with the Avent bottles. While I have yet
to find a totally spill proof cup, this one comes close and my daughter
really likes them.

I've used The First Years cup - no springs so I like it. Also I found some
sippy cups (large 10 oz ones) at Target - simple plastic, nothing fancy but
they seem to work well. No leaks.

I would recommend the Avent sippy cups. They say they don't leak and they
don't. I use them all the time for my 2 year old. They come in different
colors and spouts for different stages.

I got the Avent sippy spouts to use with my Avent bottles (that came with my
breastpump). They have never leaked for me but a) DD only drinks water or
milk, and b) I've never used them with the handles (which other people I
know have used and have had the cups leak on them).
I have got a few of "the First Years" take and toss cups and have found that
they don't leak much (but more than my Avent ones) and I would never be
comfortable tossing one of those into my handbag like I do with the Avent
ones.
I have also found my Playtex one to be good, but you have to be sure to the
cap up tightly and makes sure the valve is all the way in.

The Avent sippy cups don't leak with or without the handles. I have used
them both ways and have not had any trouble with leaking.

That's good to hear ... discussions about using the bottles with sippy
spouts and handles between about 6 of us playgroup Mums suggested that those
who also attached the handles had problems with leaking ...
Also - please note that I'm talking about the attachments for the bottles
and not the coloured Avent sippy cups.

In my playgroup we call this one "The Perfect Sippy Cup," and make an
"ahhhhh!" choir-of-angels sound when talking about it:

It doesn't leak and is easy to clean (we're all dishwasher-deprived).
No handles, but it's easy to grasp.

Strange, I don't share your experience with Playtex at all. We've used it
for over a year and only once it leaked like you described. Then it turned
out we didn't push the valve in all the way and it had popped back out
again. Besides that, it does not leak by itself, and only spills a few
drops when DS bangs it violently on the table.

We've tried the Avent sippy cups, as we had Avent bottles, but were much
less pleased with them. Although they never leaked, after a few months
they simply didn't work anymore. DS could suck all he wanted and only
got air. The liquid stayed in the bottle. Took us a while to figure
out what got him so upset, until we tried the cup ourselves.

I've had troubles with leaking with my Avent sippy cups with the handles,
but not so much without. I never had trouble with the Avent bottles leaking
with handles, but definitely with the sippy cups. It must be the design of
the lids -- different than the bottle lids (the ring part). It's weird.
