Olababy Silicone Training Cup with Straw Lid Babies Water Drinking Cup 6 Mo Infant To 12-18 Months Toddler

Love this cup, my 8 month old is already drinking from this very real straw. The most important part for me is that the straw is like a regular straw and not the ones that you have to chew on to get water out. I never liked those straws as they discouraged drinking in my older kids when they were babies. The second most important thing for me is the straight forward design that has no crevices to grow mold. You can wash it multiple times a day without talking a hundred small pieces apart. Also, baby holds the cup by herself and drinks it easily (it’s not leak proof but those come with those challenging non realistic straws. Also, did I mention how cool they look? 😄 Read more

Perfect sizing for Littles. My 9month old loves it. Perfect for her to hold. And durability is perfect. It’s a soft but sturdy cup. Lid seals well, but if tilted on side water will come out straw. I would say if it stays up right great for travel as it fits in cup holders of my kids car seat but she is not able to reach as again it will leak if not upright. Read more

We’ve been using the Ola silicone toddler cup for our little one and have been really happy with it. The silicone is soft but sturdy, easy for small hands to hold, and gentle on gums and teeth. It feels high quality and doesn’t have that strong silicone smell some cups do. I love that it’s simple to clean (dishwasher-safe is a huge plus) and that there aren’t a ton of parts to take apart. It works well as a transition cup and helps encourage independent drinking without being overly messy. Also perfect size measured with oz and mls. Overall, this is a well-designed, practical cup that’s clearly made with toddlers in mind. Would definitely recommend to other parents looking for a safe, easy-to-use cup. Read more

The Olababy silicone training cup with straw lid is a solid choice for toddlers who are learning to drink independently. The cup is made from soft, high-quality silicone that feels safe, durable, and easy for small hands to grip. The size is just right for toddlers, and the lightweight design makes it easy for them to handle on their own. The straw works well and doesn’t require too much suction, which is helpful for beginners transitioning from bottles or sippy cups. It encourages proper drinking technique and supports oral development. The silicone material is gentle on gums and teeth, which is a big plus. Cleaning is straightforward since the cup and straw come apart easily, allowing for thorough washing. It also holds up well to regular use and cleaning without losing shape or texture. The main drawback is that it’s not fully spill-proof—if tipped over or squeezed, some liquid can leak. While this is understandable for a training cup, it does require a bit of supervision, especially during early use. Overall, it’s a thoughtfully designed, high-quality cup that works well for daily use, with just minor limitations. Read more

I must say, I am thoroughly impressed by these sippies. The smaller size was perfect to teach my baby how to drink from a straw. They designed this so intentionally. When you put the lid on the cup, the straw fills with liquid higher than the liquid in the cup. This blew my mind because I’ve tried teaching other children how to drink from a straw and it’s actually quite hard to teach them to continue sucking over and over until the liquid finally reaches their mouth. In my experience the child would quit sucking because there was no payoff. I couldn’t get them to do it until they were old enough to understood my verbal instructions to keep trying until they finally got the liquid. But this design completely bypasses that whole problem! On the smaller sized cup, the liquid came up almost to the tip at the end of the straw. This was ingenious on the part of the designers! They balance the seal and the air pressure to fill the straw when you put the lid on! This made teaching my baby how to drink from a straw basically 100% intuitive because liquid was in her mouth after one suck. I didn’t have to try to coach her to suck again and again for an extended amount of time before the liquid actually came into her mouth. This completely delighted me. It made my very tough job of teaching how to suck long enough to get the liquid basically nonexistent. It did the job for me. I will say that this awesome feature was one that I had to balance with the air hole on the lid. At first the liquid spilled out of the straw again and again for me. But when I finally realized the hole was clogged in the manufacturing process, I stuck a pin in it and clear it enough that I didn’t have that issue. You should know the smaller size and the larger size are actually made differently. I loved this because I felt like the smaller one was designed to teach a baby and the larger one is for a child who already understands. The larger has a stopper in the straw for backflow and the smaller has none. The stopper makes the sucking a little harder for a baby because you actually have to collapse the straw or suck it hard enough. The air holes are also different between the two sizes, my guess is to address the difference in how high up the straw the liquid goes when you put the lid on. The thing that just impressed me so much was how thoughtful the design was. I’m just completely delighted. Yeah, if your kid drops this on the floor and you don’t pick it up it will leak. (I think the smaller size is more likely to leak because it doesn’t have the backstop feature.) But when my kids have dropped it, I just pick it up and there is maybe a drop or two at most if you don’t let it just sit on its side. It’s nothing like it’s immediately spraying everywhere. It’s still pretty contained. So impressed! This really hit my ‘delight’ button. Now ordering a bigger size for my baby who learned from this product how to suck from a straw. Read more
