good for baby, good product, just one thing to watch out for..., 18 Oct. 2013

The valve system is the standard type that Tommy Tippee put into a few of their baby beakers. Great. A very good design. Turn it upside down and it doesn't leak. The child can easily suck milk or water through.One thing to watch out for though. Once the child is old enough that you're not sterilising this daily, the silicone rubber of the valve can harbour mould which seems to get right into the material; once it's there, you'll never get it out. So keep sterilising at least the rubber bit, every few days to prevent mould from taking hold.

It is the best one I've ever had, 28 Jun. 2014

So good I bought it twice. My daughter has bashed and smashed this cup in so many ways, constantly and every single day, however it was the only one she's ever had that, never, not once, it was put upside down and spilled a drop. Never did. Also no matter where you started screwing the lid it will always end up in the right position. And that is why I loved it. We had 2 others I had to throw away because they would drip constantly water and because it was a nightmare to screw properly. I recommend this one for sure.

Excellent design. Doesn't leak unless bashed so hard the valve falls out!, 12 Aug. 2015

Great trainer cup with a wide grippy base that does not leak with the brilliant valve, even without the plastic spout lid in place. Baby loves the soft spout but it will get chewed through if they have front teeth after a few months use and then the spout lid won't locate properly. The spout lid is great for keeping the rubber spout clean if the cup is dropped on the floor. The handles are easy for baby to hold and are a bit flexible being joined to the cup only at the top which means they do less damage if bashed against a head or a car window unexpectedly! The handles can also be used to hook the trainer cup onto your push chair which is useful

Watch out when baby learns to bang the cup down hard as the valve will fall out and then water will pour out!

Make sure you reassemble the valve properly after washing though; there are two little silicon protrusions that need to be pushed gently right through holes in the white plastic part of the valve. I would...
