The First Years Squeeze & Sip Straw Cups, 7 Oz-3Pk

These have been great for my 9 month old. He’s been using them for 3 months and loves them. He’s can hold them by himself, they’re easy to clean, and food particles and spit don’t flow down the straw into the bottle (the water can only go out, not come back in), because of how they’re designed. They are very durable, are just the right size, nice and lightweight, and are a 9/10 on leakproof.

This toddler straw cup is easy to clean, durable, and has held up well without breaking, even after regular use and washing. The simple design with a soft silicone straw makes it great for everyday feeding and transitioning to straw drinking. It is mostly leak-proof for daily handling but best for supervised use, works well as a travel mug on the go without much spilling, and the overall build shows good durability for toddler roughhousing.

My baby is learning how to use a straw right now. She places her mouth on this straw and I just squeeze it just a little bit and the water comes right out. She’s getting the hang of it a lot faster than the other cups that we are not able to squeeze. This is a must have for babies teething as well because the silicone straws very soft usually products like this are hard to clean, but this one is not. The straw comes apart easily and is very easy and a quick wash.

As a parent navigating the transition from bottle to straw drinking, I found The First Years Straw Cups to be an outstanding training tool that made the learning process surprisingly smooth. What Makes These Cups Effective: Innovative Squeeze Feature: The genius of this cup is the ability to gently squeeze it to push liquid up through the straw, teaching your baby the mechanics of straw drinking. Within days of consistent use, my child understood the concept and began drinking independently without any prompting. This hands-on teaching method is far more effective than just hoping they figure it out. Safety-Conscious Design: The soft, flexible straw tip is gentle on tender gums and emerging teeth. I appreciate that there’s no hard plastic poking around in my baby’s mouth during this oral development stage. Easy Maintenance: Dishwasher safe components make cleanup effortless—a must-have feature for busy parents dealing with multiple cups throughout the day. Value: At this price point, you’re getting excellent quality without the premium cost of some competitor brands. I felt comfortable buying multiple cups to keep in different locations. One Design Consideration: Due to the straw configuration, liquid remains in the upper portion of the straw after drinking rather than draining back down. This means minor spills can occur when the cup is tipped or opened, especially in diaper bags. However, this is a small trade-off for the effective learning mechanism. I simply ensure the cup is upright when transporting or keep it in a sealed pocket. Bottom Line: These cups successfully bridged the gap between bottle and independent straw drinking for my child. The squeeze-to-teach feature is invaluable, and the minor spill issue is manageable with basic precautions. Highly recommend for the 6-12 month transition period.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Awesome trainer straw cup. Whole thing comes apart and goes in the dishwasher. BUT, they leak from where the straw connects to the lid (not the straw itself) when tipped over. All babies throw and drop cups. I wish expected age would account for this in the design.

Very light weight and easy to use. Love how you can gently squeeze the sides to get the water to come out. Its been thrown on the floor and a few droplets came out but no major spills. It’s a great size for learning to use a straw, it’s also nice that it comes in a 3 pack.

I love these cups so much that I came here to buy more and write a review! They are perfect for teaching baby how to use a straw and are great for independent use later on in the early toddler years. These are easy for small hands to hold, relatively leak proof, and easy to clean. My younger daughter uses these cups exclusively for milk and water and I wish I had them when my daughter was a baby. 5 stars!

I love this cup! This cup is great for babies starting to learn to drink out of a straw. You’re able to squeeze the bottle to push the water through the straw. It is leak proof, lightweight so little on can hold. Overall a great cup that will grow with them.

My baby figured out how to sip water after just one squeeze. It’s simple, effective, and easy for little ones to use. Great design that encourages independent drinking. Highly recommend this product.

Me encantaron y a mi bebé más, le agarró la onda súper rápido. No gotean, son livianos y el material de buena calidad, los popotes superiores son de silicona así que no lastiman las encías. Amamoooos!

Please get this if your baby is struggling to drink a straw. My baby became a pro straw drinker in less than 2 weeks lol.

I was a bit sceptical at first with these because of the price (I did buy cheaper elsewhere to compare) But these are amazing . They are leak proof, very sturdy, easy for baby to hold and use herself. The squeeze feature to help baby learn how to use a straw is amazing . The straw is well fastened in too for safety but easy enough to remove for cleaning. These are now our go to cup for baby and it’s helping really well with learning how to use a straw. Would definitely buy again if I needed more but these are excellent quality so can’t see them needing to be replaced . So happy we bought them

Really helped teach my little one how to drink from a straw. Not quite spill proof but better than a normal straw. Easy to use, good quality but quite expensive for UK customers, but there isn’t that much choice in the market
