    You need one thats non spill but also one that dosent have a teat that the kids can put their finger into and break it. Nuby sippy cups do that and my DD would make such a mess. Also IMO dont put milky drinks into and cup that has a straw. There a nightmare to clean. I have so many brands of sippy cups but Ive never been totally satisfied with any of them. When you find one let me know. Avent do great ones but can be pretty pricey but most of the avent pieces are interchangeable with each other so if you lose a piece you can replace it easily.

    yeah i agree i have avent ones and they are great
    screw top lid can't be popped off
    does not leak no matter what
    can't chew the top till it leaks
    bit expensive though

    I also like the ones i bought from target they are a bit bigger type of cup with a straw that flips open it does not leak and ds does not chew at it either. Can't remember the brand and its not on the cup but i really like them i got 2 for $10. So i now have 5 of them lol

    I got our newest one from Target. Its a Nuby.
    Its handles & lid have little bumps all over for teething.
    It has a silicon teat that doesn't spill when its just laying there, or gets dropped, but if you squeeze the teat it does.
    Which does make it a bit easier for them to get some out.
    He likes it best out of the ones we've had before.

    I too love the Take n Toss ones. Their just so simple to use.
    My favourites would definitely have been the Avent ones that go onto the bottles.
    As much as Harry loved them, I hate the Tommy Tippee/Nuby ones... they're great until little fingers get in there and poke a hole, or little teeth... and the teats aren't replaceable, so I ended up with about 6 of them before I changed over to the Take n Toss ones.

    For my littel horror of a two year old he can open the take and toss ones by either using his teeth or throwing it on the gorund and the lids pops off and we have water everywhere. So these definitly don't work for us, although i do have some for DD to try

    I have a tommee tippee one for Miss M and also a pigeon one that does three stages of development.

    But usually I just use one of her smaller bottles cos I'm lazy and its just there.. lol

    DS uses the toss ones....

    ETA - I have a Kala one and it is BRILLIANT - no spills.

    Eva had a great Tommee Tippee one, which she could get the water out of fine, and it didn't leak anywhere. She used it from about 6 months... until she lost it a few months ago, and I didn't want to pay so much to replace it.

    I bought a set of 2 Little Wishes ones from woolworths, but I am going to take them back, not even I can suction water from them, so god knows how Eva is supposed to!

    I actually find the Take n Toss range to be great. Because there are no annoying valves or teats, yet the water flow through the holes isn't too overpowering. But Jazz might still be a bit young for them. (& I don't toss them, they are great to keep reusing!)
