 The perfect straw cup!Apr 05, 2011
By The Escape Artist
"G"
What is with all of the negative reviews? I can understand folks having an issue with receiving the wrong character cup, or having problems with spillage because they didn't follow the instructions. But honestly, this is a GREAT sippy cup - SUCH a better investment than Playtex or Munchkin straw cups (those have straws that are too little and flimsy, like a regular straw; and the straw always gets stuck in those flip lids).
My son has used this type of cup since he was about 18 months. The straw is thick and wide, and very simple to put the two parts together and insert into the lid. I never have to worry about juice spilling, or the straw breaking because of him playing with his cup. For some reason he always drinks by tilting the cup (ANY cup he uses) back, and this Learning Curve cup still doesn't leak! Perfect size for kids cup holders in the car, stroller, and carseat. The plastic of the cup is thick, but not truly 'insulated' as other cups are. The flip lid is oversized for chubby fingers; unlike the other brands, he has no problem opening and closing the cup. As for other reviewers saying that it's unfair that Learning Curve doesn't offer replacement straws, Playtex doesn't offer replacements either. Obviously, that's a bad practice for the industry.
If your toddler needs help learning to drink from a straw, or if you just want a travel or daycare cup with some extra protection from germs, definitely buy this one!
Edit, July 5 2011:
I just received an order of 2 of the Mickey Mouse straw cups, both completely sealed, but one had a pink/red colored straw either from a manufacturing defect or from bleeding of the red lid (I'm leaning towards a defect because either the bottom tube or the blue cup itself were stained). Still love these cups, but I'm disappointed in quality control. Waiting on an email response from The First Years. Great cups, but buyer beware!

GREAT CUP doesn't leak!Aug 02, 2009
By Mother of twins
I have 2 of these cups and my 2 year old twin boys love them. You have to make sure that everytime you take the lid off to refil you push in the straw and all the parts so it won't leak. I do NOT have a problem with this cup leaking if I do that, and it only takes a second. The straw is thick but my little ones love it. It can also slide to close. I think I read another complaint that the piece of plastic that closes the straw part broke off, I actaully had to take mine off to get the straw unstuck one time and it just clips back on. Very well made. I wouldn't let your child throw them too much but if they do (which you know they will) you might want to unscrew the lid and make sure everything is pushed in well. Hope I helped.
Decent straw cup, but not spill proof!Apr 18, 2012
By courtneysmommy
My 2 year old daughter loves cars and will only drink from a straw, so I figured this cup would be great. She loves it, but I'm not so thrilled with it. It leaks frequently when turned on its side, which is going to happen since a toddler uses it. I'm not sure if mine is faulty or what, but I definitely assembled it correctly and it still is leaky. If you don't mind leaking, or have an older toddler that knows not to turn the cup on its side, it is perfectly fine. Just don't buy it expecting it to be 100% spill proof!

Fantastic FIRST Baby Straw Cup, Great For Toddlers As WellMar 06, 2012
By D.
First of all, I don't believe that babies should work hard to get the liquid out of a cup. If I, an adult, can't get liquid out easily enough, why would I make my baby work so hard to get some water? So I was searching for a convenient straw cup for my second baby and this one rocks! (Among the ones I've tried are munchkin, nuby and playtex. Thermos foogo are great for toddlers, but not as much for babies)
The wide straw allows young babies to drink from it at early age (my son is not 7 months old yet and drank from it easily at the first attempt) since the transition from a bottle is not as awkward as to a thin straw.
The straw is not long, so they don't gag on it as with some other straws.
The valve is not blocking the water (an adult can use the cup without turning red) and at the same time provides the leak proofness.
The straw made of two parts that are easy to clean.
Taking the cup apart and putting it back together is super easy.
Insulated. Nice to have especially in the winter when you don't want them drinking cold water.
Good price (the cups we use for our toddler, thermos foogo, cost twice as much).
As for leaks problem - any GOOD straw cup will leak a little bit. That's simply the cost of being able to get the water out of it.
The part between the valve and the top of the straw hold some water when the baby stops drinking. And this water will spill if you turn it upside down. Not a problem for me whatsoever. Just be prepared to get a couple drops on your hands when you open it next time. Really, not a big deal.
Just to note: this cup is rated 18+ months. Worked better than any 6+/9+ months cups I've tried for my kids.
Bottom line, if you're tired of cups that don't work, give this one a try whether for a baby or a toddler. It's well worth the money.
