    I got a spill proof cup a while ago which cost me about $10 and DD doesn't like it at all. She just bites it but doesn't actually drink from it so I ended up getting a pack of 6 of the take & toss cups. They do leak a little which is the downside, but DD loves using them. I didn't even have to "teach" her to use it, I just handed it to her and it went straight in the mouth and she started sucking. She just takes a small mouthful at a time, swallows, then takes another mouthful and this goes on for a while, then she keeps taking mouthfuls and blowing raspberries and it becomes a game. Thankfully I only use water so it doesn't create a sticky mess.

    From past experince an expensive excerise finding the right one for your child!!!
    I have used a Mag Mag and I was eyeing off the new Nuby ones the other day, but wanted to hear from someone else what they were like before I "invested" in one.(Previous Nuby was good but kids bit the top off,( bit of a worry) and ripped the top open by sticking fingers in!!!) I agree with the others some of them you can't even get the water out of???? Straw types are good but I always worry about the cleaning of them??? I only use water in them but still....food from there mouth goes down the straw.
    In the end I bought cheapies or take and toss, and did'nt worry about water leaking tooo much. Or a small bottle....

    Nuby all the way. I have tried about a million different ones over the years (I have a bit of a sippy cup obsession) and they are the absolute best. Through all the stages from sippy cups to straw cups they are ace.

    If you wanted to have a look at some different sippy cups IRL, you could just invite me to coffee at M one day you know

    we have a Happy Baby one and its great.

    Has rubbery top that they need to squeeze in mouth to open small valve, does not leak and DS loves chewing on top.

    It has 2 handles and it is slanted so they dont need to tip as far to get a drink.

    Also have take and toss but they leak when chucked on floor or tipped upside down.
