Baby Products Reviews of Nuby Mega Sipper With Straw, Colors May Vary, 12 OunceCustomer Review: best I've found so far Summary: 3 Stars
PROS: When I tried to switch my son to bottles, it took a few months of frustration before I found these. He was having a hard time tipping the bottle back to drink out of it, and it was just horrible. Months of this went by, making zero progress, and then I bought him a cup with a straw to try out. He loved it. That was the last day of nursing, ever. So, 10 stars out of 5 for this cup so far.
CONS: We've had this cup for awhile now, I've gotten picky about it, so we're down to 3 out of 5 stars. It is still a good cup, I still use our cups all the time and would buy another one. BUT...
I've always had issues with cleaning it. I use a bottle brush for the bottom part and lid. The bottle brush cleans out the bottle just fine, but the lid is full of nooks and crannies. I think I'm cleaning it out really well (scrubbing, hot water, soap) and then I notice some accumulated grime in part of the lid - the horror! The straw is another frustrating cleaning issue. I bought pipe cleaners to clean out the straw portion, which is a little gross to me, but there isn't a better way to do it. Milk will sometimes collect and dry along the edges of the outside of the lid, and that takes a second to blast clean with the dish sprayer. The straw will discolor when dark juice is used (even though I water it down a great deal) and so the straw is stained. We have two of these cups, and every night after my son goes to bed I have to take some time to thoroughly clean both of them out. The straw is difficult to thread back through the lid, but since I've been doing it awhile it barely takes a second to get it through - you get the hang of it. You just have to twist it through, and give it a little tug. I forget about it being an issue, but I remember the first time I couldn't get it back in I thought for sure I ruined the cup.
It leaks a little bit. When it was new it didn't, but the valve inside the straw cracks a little right away, and so it leaks if the cup is left on its side (or upside down in the diaper bag). There is a little piece of plastic on the inside that goes over a little vent, and it helps if you have the plastic firmly over the vent like it is supposed to be. And, it does leak while upright. If I have a lot of milk in the bottle (formula and whole milk both did this) it will somehow manage to "leak" while the bottle is upright. I've watched it happen. If you have the lid closed the leaking isn't really an issue.
I wasn't aware that it was any kind of choking hazard (like it says on the page). My son is pretty destructive and has had it since he was about 9 months old (he is over a year old now), and it hasn't ever been an issue.
The cups have been dropped many (many, many) times and one of them did break when it hit the floor, and the cup had only been used a few times. It cracked on the bottom, and had to be thrown away. It only happened once, and it was in the kitchen. I would have been pretty upset if it happened in a store or elsewhere - then we would have a big mess and no bottle.
