I was looking for a new cup for my girl. I love her Klean Kanteen sippy, but she no longer needs to drink out of a baby sippy spout. She can handle a regular cup. But I want something spill proof since she walks around with her drinks a lot and also has them in the car.
I could get a sport cap for her Klean Kanteen to replace the Avent sippy spout that it currently has, or get her a kid's Sigg, but those aren't spill proof, and I can just imagine her playing with the spout and the water or milk going everywhere. We will soon use the Klean Kanteen for her baby brother, anyways.
Reading Z Recs reviews on cups for toddler to pre-k led me to check out the Playtex Coolster Tumbler.
Plastic? Yes. BPA-free? Yes. Spillproof? Yes, if you use the valve (optional). Looks more grown-up? Yes. Inexpensive? Yes. At just $4 a pop and easily available at Target or Babies R Us, I don't have to feel a great loss if we lose it or leave it somewhere.
Why did I want to ditch the sippy spout? I don't know if this is true, but I have heard that a more natural drinking motion is better for speech muscle development. I am no specialist, but I would think that it has got to be better for teeth, too.
Plus, using the "sparkly purple big-girl cup" was good motivation for her learning to go #2 in the potty! :)

Seth has been good about keeping a cup on the counter in the kitchen. He can go get a sip when he needs but then it stays in the kitchen where drips can happen. The only place we still have a sippy is in bed for night with water in case he wakes up needing a drink. I find it works well.
