Baby Products Reviews of Born Free Drinking Cup, Colors May Vary
Customer Review: Great Cup and Better for Your Baby's Health!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using these cups for about a year now and I think they are great. I used the training cups to ween my daughter from breast feeding at 18 months. They were tougher to suck from so I eventually switched her to the drinking nipples and she has loved them ever since and she in now 2 1/2. If you want a cup that does not spill easy you will need to purchase the Training Cup. The Drinking Cups do leak if your child dumps it upside down, but I taught my daughter with in the first 5 weeks to not dump it anymore and to set it on the table or give it to me when she is finished and she has done great with it ever since. I wish they had these cups when my 10 year old daughter was a baby, because I used regular bottles with her and she had a lot more health problems than my 2 year old ever has. I think having the cup be BPA Free is worth the price and working with your child to learn how to use it correctly. To clarify the 4 or 5 top parts complaint I read on another review there is the nipple that inserts into the cap (just like a regular bottle), a removable handle (which my daughter likes when a mix the colors of the handles and the bottles), and a two-piece vent that easily snaps together and insert in to the cup, it really is simple and I do not understand what all the complaints are about.Customer Review: Love Love Love Born Free

I found born free bottles when my daughter was 7 months old, I wish I would have found them sooner. My daughter has severe acid reflux, and had ear infections all the time. I forgot the diaper bag when we ran into town on vacation so I bought one of these bottles to get my daughter through till we got back to the condo we were staying at. She loved them, she drank so much easier out of these bottles, she didn't gasp every time she lost suction or start spitting up. So I decided to buy another bottle and keep using it to see if it was just a fluke or if it really was helping her reflux. It really did, her reflux decreased dramatically. I was so impressed and I liked the vent system in these much better because it comes apart and goes back together soooo much easier than cleaning the dr brown bottles was. I recommend these bottles to everyone that I know is having a baby. Now my daughter is 12 months and all I had to do is buy the training spouts and pop them into the cap didn't have to buy all new sippy cups because the parts are interchangable... AWESOME!!!!! Thank you Born FREE I wish I would have found you sooner!!!!Customer Review: Yup, leaky.

Great, no BPA. What about phthalates? I'm not planning on putting any very hot/near boiling fluids in the bottle, so BPA leaching is not an issue. Considering the foregoing, this bottle is a waste of money and is overpriced, playing on people's uninformed fears. I find it ironic that people put bottled water (plastic, plastic, plastic) in this cup thinking they've somehow prevented the water from coming into contact with BPA plastic (wonder where that water is stored during the bottling process).
Lay out the parts and look at them. What is the mechanism that is supposed to slow the flow of the fluid and stop leakage? Most other bottles have a dam/vent/channel design. This bottle has three huge ports for water to flow through unrestricted, and the only thing slowing the fluid is the size of the hole in the spout. Anyone who says this bottle doesn't leak is delusional. Tell me exactly what mechanism in this bottle, besides the physics of perfectly balancing the fluid in a static state so that it only drips out of the spout, stops the water from pouring out the spout in the hands of a child.
Customer Review: The whole point of these cups is to avoid traditional "sippies"
Summary: 4 Stars
I have twin boys who just turned 10 months old. They have been using these Born Free "Drinking Cups" for over 2 months for water and juice,since they get so little and it was practice. We have started switching out one feeding at a time and adding these for their formula. We want to try to avoid traditional sippy cups. They do pretty well with them. They don't leak...what they do do is have a freeer flow so your baby does not have to suck so hard to get fluid. closer to a "real" cup feel. Sure some gets on my kids, and couch/an or floor, but really who cares? I have two boys! lol :)..never going to be pristine clean! I will say my kids are on a nice schedule and so only get drinks at certain times and therfore I can supervise and limit some messes. This is one way to limit the spillage. These are a nice way to avoid traditional sippy cups if you want to go that way, but if spilling really is a problem, the "training cups" by Born Free are a better choice. The valves and handles will fit any born free cup or bottle so that is nice as well.Customer Review: Good option
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this cup for my son because of the non-leaching plastic. He already has a Klean Kanteen sippy cup (which works great!), but I decided to give the Born Free drinking cup a try. The cup is easy to clean and easy for a small child to hold. After reading the reviews, I knew that I was purchasing a "drinking cup" which can leak, instead of the Born Free sippy cup version with a non-leaking spout. I thought it might teach my 14 month-old how to handle a cup more carefully, and in many ways it has helped him learn that he needs to keep the cup upright. My only complaint about this cup is that after a couple days of use (and some biting on the soft spout) the flow hole became larger causing MUCH more spillage than when the cup was brand new. We now have to be VERY careful that this cup is kept upright at all times or the result is a large puddle on the floor or wet spot on my son's clothes. Overall, it's a good option for a safe toddler cup, and it's less expensive than the Klean Kanteen or the Sigg.
