Nuby Straw Sports Cup Sipper — 

When I first discovered the Nuby Straw Sports Cup sipper it was after testing 3 sippy cups and you would have thought I discovered gold. My son absolutely loves this sippy cup but I don't feel the same as him. 

First, the straw part is easily to be chewed by a toddler that is teething so it creates a bigger hole than is intended and this leads to leakage. In my opinion, that defeats the purpose of a sippy cup. I find this to be the biggest drawback of this sippy cup as well as you are unable to purchase a new clear straw insert so you are left with a cup and ring with no viable way to replace the broken straw. 

On the other hand, the one benefit of the Nuby Straw Sports cup sipper is that we were able to find it in many different colors i.e. Wal-mart, which was nice since Target sells a set of two and I wanted to buy specific boy colors. The second benefit is that cleaning was super simple I would take a bottle brush and scrub inside the sippy cup as well as the straw part and did not have to worry about any extra attachments. Also, I feel this sippy cup mimics a bottle, which is not a good thing if your trying to wean your child from bottle like tendencies.  

I would recommend this cup as an introductory sippy cup but then graduate to a Playtex as you won't have the problem of a torn wasted straw.
