Baby Products Reviews of Foogo by Thermos Leak-Proof SS 7 oz Sippy Cup with Handle in Blue
Customer Review: it takes work to get it to not leak
Summary: 3 Stars
in the beginning it worked well. now, several months later, I can no longer get the yellow sippy part to insert properly into the lid so that it will screw on properly. when I do get the thing together (and, there are four parts: 1. the cup, 2. the lid with handles, 3. the yellow soft part that inserts into the lid, and 4. the little white thing that snaps onto the underside of the yellow part of the lid that keeps water from leaking out unless sucked out). as I was saying, when I do get it together now, it leaks. it's really hard to get the yellow sippy part to snap exactly into the blue part so it doesn't leak. it's a great product & has good grips for the kids. It's just that... I can't get it together anymore. I've tried and tried. there's nothing defective with mine. ...it's just that when you disassemble the whole thing in to four parts in order to run it thru the dishwasher, it is near impossible to get it back together so it won't leak. (specifically, it's hard to get the yellow bendable thing back into the lid the right way. Oh, and it's hard to screw it together so it won't leak.
but on the positive side, it's awesome that it's bpa free & it has a super wide mouth (there's no narrowing of the mouth at the top) so it cleans up spotlessly in the dishwasher. That is a major plus for me.
Customer Review: Hard to put together and very leaky.
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very excited to get my son this cup to drink out of. I thought it would keep his drinks cold in the summer and be easy for him to use.
I am very disappointed. The cup's parts do pull apart for easy cleaning but the spout is very hard to get back into the lid and almost impossible to line up exactly right. I am not sure if it is because of this that the cup leaks. After messing around with the lid for a good 10 minutes and thinking that it was on good; the cup *still* leaked.
I am not talking about leaking from my 15 month old throwing the cup around either. We had this cup sitting in the cup holder in his stroller and 5 minutes of movement from the stroller (at the zoo) caused it to leak out a puddle of milk into the cup holder. We ended up having to throw out the remainder of the milk and beg some napkins from a zoo snack stand attendant to sop up the mess. I am really frustrated that this cup leaks with even normal (not toddler like) use. The fact that "leak-proof" is in the title is really ironic...
In summary:
Pros
- Keeps things cold
- Easy to clean
Cons
- Hard to pop the spout back in
- Leaks very easy (we are talking that it leaks while sitting in the stroller.)
- Really, really leaks!
Customer Review: Keeps items cold, easy to clean
Summary: 4 Stars
Just bought a few of these sippy cups so I could have BPA free cups and I wanted to keep my drinks cold because we travel a lot. It does keep the drinks cold...for 6 hours like it states, no, but I would definitely say 3-4 hours. Its easy to clean. I like the removable stopper better than other sippy cups because they wont get moldy like some others. My negatives are that its a little heavy and the metal gets hot out in the sun. I wish there was a cover over the metal. So far though, I have had them about 4 weeks now and I am very pleased.
I am not having leak issues and dont have trouble screwing the top on. I actually like that the top screw on so that the spout is in the correct spot on the cup. Unlike some tops you have to screw on several times to line it up correctly. Mine does make a squealing sound sometimes when my son sucks on it. I usually just remove the stopper and it stops.
I have not had dent or breakage problems...and my kid is a thrower! So far all 3 are in tact.
I did just notice the huge price hike though!!! I paid $16 for it on Amazon and just looked and it is priced at $26 now??? I wouldnt pay $26. I thought it was worth $16 and that was stretching my budget for sippy cups!
Customer Review: Leaky leaky
Summary: 1 Stars
I really wanted to love this, especially at the price we paid for it. It worked fine for the first month or so and then started to leak occasionally. I figured that I was doing something wrong and went back to the written instructions-no improvement. Checked the website for info-no improvement. Tried everything to love this cup, but now it is sitting in a box. Also, as other reviewers have mentioned, it's capacity is very small-suitable for a child just starting a sippy, but the cup is too heavy for a child just starting to use a sippy, so again, not the greatest design. It does keep the contents cold without sweating and it looks great so I guess it has earned the one star that I am forced to give it. Wish it could have gotten more use but I don't even dare give it to a friend to try because they would just end up cursing me.
On the flip side, we LOVE the foogo thermos straw bottles. Once your kid is old enough to remember to close the lid (opening is no problem)they are the perfect bottle for on the go. We love those so much that we started buying their adult line as well. Only problem that we have had is that my son has broken the lid to two of his bottles, but Thermos will replace for free, so not a big deal.
Customer Review: Our Favorite Sippy ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's impossible to avoid things made in China. I don't like it either, but Thermos has been around for years, and has a long standing reputation for making good products.
After trying just about every single BPA free sippy on the market, I finally bit the bullet and bought a Foogo. One thing I will say about this, is that it's really heavy for a baby. I bought one when my son was about 9 months old and he wasn't able to hold it at that point, so I had to hold it for him. I was also worried about the valve system, as he had a hard time using cups with valves, but he took to this sippy cup fabulously, and will not use any other cup.
A word about leaks. This cup? Should not leak. The parts should come apart easily. We've never had a problem, and any time I've experienced a leak, I've been able to troubleshoot the problem by taking the lid off and usually, it was an issue of the valve not being snapped in all the way. There is a point at which a small bit of water pools in between the valve and the spout, but it's minimal, and not enough to soak your entire living room.
I love the entire Foogo line. They're durable, and they hold temperature for a long time.
