We used the take and toss cups from 6 months of age for both kids. My 20 month old DD has now decided she doesn't DO sippy cups and we just give her normal plastic cups.
I'd honestly just go the take and toss cups.
My DS was on just a normal cup from around 18 months (we got given a few of those plastic bunnykins etc ones with the handle when he was born), you could start trying to introduce a normal cup.
Otherwise, I have just bought DD (9 months) a new one, its (after having about 3 magmags leak, and a couple of others) a heinz baby one that is used like a straw, but has a hard spout (so straws don't get chewed), thats been great.
You could alwys just go for the popper bottles (like the ones you get water in if you get a happy meal from maccas).
You can also buy no spill lids that fit most PET bottles, I think by Kala, they are a pack of 3, for $10...I have one in the car, one in the house and one in the pram, great for if you're out and about, bung it on a bottle of water and you're set.
Hmm those no spill lids sound interesting....and cheap too!!
I had looked at the take n toss ones but silly me assumed they wouldnt be very good cos they were pretty cheap!! Might give them a go!
DS uses a cup to have his drink with meals, but cant get the idea of having them while hes playing etc....guaranteed they get knocked over or thrown around.
I googled, so I could get the correct info about them.
They are called Kala's Magic Spout 28mm pk.
I bought a bottle of water at the shops the other day (all of a sudden we were all boiling and parched), all you do is remove the plastic ring left behind by the normal lid, and add the kala one.
Myself, my DS (nearly 3), and my DD (9 months) all shared the same bottle of water with ease, and with no spilling.
