Amazon Brand - Mama Bear Spill Proof Dishwasher Safe Silicone Weighted Straw Sippy Cup with Removable Handles, BPA Free, 9 Ounces, Blue/Green, Pack of 2

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!

These are our go-to sippy cups for mealtimes with our 1 year old. She learned to use them very quickly and the weighted straw allows her to always get the liquid. However, when we've packed this sippy cup up with liquid when on-the-go, we find the liquid spills out of the straw the second the cap is released - leaving me to believe it gets pressurized easily. So heads up this may not be good on a plane. Also, the straw parts sometimes seem to align imperfectly causing more resistance/air to the stream of liquid. It is hard to tell sometimes when this has happened but usually the cue is my baby girl getting frustrated. I then have to try the straw myself to see if it is working properly. To fix it, I just undo the lid and wiggle the straw a bit - not sure what exactly happens. Pros: simple design, stands being thrown and dropped with minimal loss of liquid | easy to learn Cons: consists of a few parts that take up room in the dishwasher/make it harder to clean by hand | use on a plane is not suggested due to pressure causing liquid to come out of straw once cap is released | Straw can sometimes get a little wonky and needs some jiggling to make the liquid flow easier Conclusion: Even given the cons, I find this the best weighted straw sippy cup on the market. It does not leak out the sides if turned any which way. It does not leak or come apart when thrown across the room, and it has been easy for my 1 year old to learn to use herself. It has checked most of the boxes better than other options.

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.

Just like Dr. BROWN'S at a fraction of the cost. The only difference I have noticed with these and Dr. Browns is that the button area for the lid does get soiled in these whereas the Browns ones are sealed so no liquid gets in. I have 2 toddlers on weighted straw cups and we've tried almost every brand we could find. These are the favorites but they could use some tweaks to make them perfect. Cleaning- The straw piece breaks down into 2 pieces (top straw and flexible tube with weight) These makes the mama bear soooo much easier to clean than the munchkin brand where the straw is one piece and only the weight can be seperated. The cup is short and stout and is easy to clean. It is fairly smooth so there isn't any weird crevices in the mama bear/ Dr. Browns cup whereas the munchkin has two tabs where liquid can get stuck and build up. The lid in the mama bear has multiple crevices on the bottom but is easily cleaned with a bristled brush and the munchkins dome shape lids is smooth with only the straw attachments and vent. Lid- Lid is pretty useless unless you are storing them. The lid does pinch the straw so it doesn't back flow and leak. I rarely ever store these with liquid in them so the lids to ours are all in the drawer since they usually get torn off anyways by my 2 toddlers ( sometimes on purpose, sometimes not) and the button to open the lid is kinda hard for a toddler push which ends up with my toddlers wanting me to open it after they close it and that quickly turns into a game (they shut and I open) The munchkin brand has a dome lid with a sliding lid that is more functional. Open/Close : These do get a little to tight sometimes which is a pain in the butt when you're trying to fill an empty cup while your toddler screams they're thirsty over and over and over and over and ... you get the point. The munchkin brand has a turn & snap/lock feature that removes this issue. Weight- These have a ball shaped weight and my toddlers are able to get most if not all or the liquid out. The munchkin has a flat saucer like weight which also does well and maybe even a little better.

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!
