 BPA free and that's the main thingFeb 27, 2010
I like those cups. However if you don't screw the top VERY tightly they leak a bit. So I have to really force it. Apart of that, great caps. I would buy them again.
 Good bottl3Feb 12, 2010
Good bottle with a unique nipple that is usefule to transition from a bottle with a nipple to a "sippy cup". The flow through the nipple is adequate for our son.
a lot of pieces but hands down the best sippy cupFeb 05, 2010
this was actually the first sippy cup that i owned I started my daughter with this cup when she was about 6-7 months and she loved it. But I hated all the pieces. So I went searching for a perfect cup.
I tried Nuby No Spill Cup, but I hated lining up the nipple with the collar, it was so tricky and if it was misaligned there was definitely a leak
then I tried Playtex The First Sipster Spill-Proof Cup 7 oz where you just needed to twist it to secure. that was horrible. I would always have to twist past the point of click. then my daughter thinks that the handles are for swirling the cup around.
So in the end, I purchased 2 more Born free sippy cups.
-the cups have measurement on the side, so that I can tell how much fluids I'm putting in her cup. Very faint, but other sippy cups don't have it.
-I can take the handles off to stop my daughter from doing tricks with them. And they fit nicely in the side compartment of my diaper bag. Playtex don't go too far from home with those handles
-My daughter's tiny hands can easily palm this cup and hold it with one hand.
-Hassle free configuration. sure there are a lot of components, but I also use dr browns bottles so in comparison to those bottles, these are easy. No need to line anything up, just twist and done. There is no small valve like the playtex that can be easily forgotten.
-easy to use cap, The nuby cap is hard to take off!! and if you forget to take it off before you unscrew the bottle it's nearly impossible. Playtex has no cap.
best sippy cup we've tried, for a while...Jan 29, 2010
Have you ever tried to drink from a normal sippy-cup? The little plastic valve-thing that keeps it from spilling everywhere makes it extremely difficult. I tested a few that we've ended up with, and i'm just astonished that any child can drink from them. Mine certainly can't.
This cup uses an entirely different method. First off, the spout is soft, which is great because my son chews on everything. He's constantly teething. Second, he can actually drink more than three drops before giving up in frustration. Third, when he does drink an ounce or do in one go, when he takes his mouth off the spout, there's not the great sucking sound of pressure equalizing. I'm not sure how the little plastic rings allow air to get in to replace the milk he drinks, but they work.
I'm a little baffled by some of the low-star reviews for this product. There are two major categories of complaint: leaking, and difficulty drinking.
The only way we've been able to get the cup to leak are as follows: leaving out the vent rings when assembling the cup, or mashing the spout into things while upside-down. Now that my son has chewed on them all extensively, some will let an occasional drip of milk out if you hold them upside-down, but not enough to damage the hardwood. (Also, the cap covers the opening in the spout, and i've never had the cup leak at all with the cap on, even sideways in the diaper bag.)
As for difficulty drinking, it's surely not as easy as drinking from a cup that isn't concerned with leaks, but it's so much better than standard sippy cups that the comparison is almost meaningless.

I feel a little silly editing this review two days after posting it, but i just ordered two more of these, and something changed. The two new ones leak generously. If you hold them upside-down, they downright dribble. Further, with the cap on, the spout isn't stoppered, so the cap fills up with milk if it's not upright. (The cap makes a tight seal, so the milk doesn't leak everywhere. If you're not paying attention and open the cap, though, you will make a mess.)
They're still much easier to drink out of than standard sippy cups, but i can't toss these into a bag like i could the first few i ordered. I'm not sure what changed; they look identical to the older ones, but they're not.
TRAINER cup works! No leaks!!!Jan 26, 2010
Like the other reviewers, make sure you are buying the trainer cup, not the sippy cup and you won't have leak/spill issues! We bought this for our 4 month old in hopes that she would drink breast milk from this cup since she is now refusing an occasional bottle. She drinks from this easily and likes that she can hold it. Its allowed my husband and I to have a date night again!
