Nuby Straw Sports Cup Sipper Review Summary

Reviewers are not very impressed with the Nuby Straw Sports Cup Sipper. This toddler cup is good for a few reasons, like its assortment of colors, its size, and its use as a straw- bearing cup, which is something certain children like. But the Nuby Straw Sports Cup Sipper is not without its problems, and they are summarized nicely in the comment: “Great for Temporary Use, Impossible to Keep Clean”. You have to remember to clean the straw quickly because it is prone to growing mold and without the straw, the cup is useless. The issues with cleaning make the Nuby Straw Sports Cup Sipper one of the lower- rated Baby Bottles and one that requires careful consideration before buying.

Our son never took to the traditional sippy cup or the bottle, maybe that's a problem for most babies who nurse, I'm not sure. We tried lot's of other sippy cups, Platex, Dr. Browns, even other Nuby cups, but this one is the easiest one we found. It is easy for our son to hold with the curved side and...

I got the Nuby Straw Sports Cup and my baby loves it. It is not too great for younger than 6 months I say, but it works rather well when your on the go alot. The only drawback is if they bite the straw. At 6-12 months they are steadily getting teeth and chewing things so be careful to watch them with...

OK so this one leeks a little, you can't buy replacement straws, as our broke after the second use. Overall I would stick to Playtex sippy cups, they have never let me down.

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 Nuby Straw Sports Cups were a good idea.  They are good shape and size for little hands.  We also liked the idea of using a straw instead of sucking on a sippy cup like a bottle.  We really thought this would be a positive step up from the sucking sippy cup, but still be spill proof.  It was spill proof and working great for my two toddlers, until they strarted chewing the straws.  They ended up chewing right through the plastic valve in the straw, therefore, making it able to spill everywhere.  What a mess!  Also, the straws were hard to keep clean.  We used a bottle brush, but they...

These sippy cups are good transition sippys. The nuby sippy cups work well for little hand too. They are easy to hold. However ... they leak about a month after you  buy them. So I went through many of these ... which becomes expensive. If you don't mind buying a lot of them they are good for first time switching.

My daughter loves straws and so I thought this would be a nice addition to our sippy cup collection. I read the instructions and removed the straw for the first washing and since then I have not been able to assemble the cup back together so that it does not leak. How frustrating!

This product would be great is straw was replaceable.  manufacturer will not send replacement and it is not available in the US for purchase (product is made in Austrailia).  I might or might not purchase new cups.  It seems very wasteful although they were great while they lasted!

This was my son's first sippy cup, and it works OK, but it didn't really help him learn to drink from a real cup. It didn't help him learn how to control the cup. He just didn't spill it every where. Also, he is now chewing thru the straws.
