I'm on my 2nd child and again despite trying many other kinds, this sippee cup wins again. At least for ones with handles.
It is truly leak proof....until the kid starts chewing on the end or they have been used sooooo much the inner plastic piece wears out and needs to be replaced. But hey, they can actually be replaced, which makes them like new (even if they kiddo has been gnawing on the sippy part)
My all time favorite cup is: http://www.amazon.com/Tommee-Tippee-Explora-Spill-proof-Drinking/dp/B005ACPX0A/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1328914361&sr=8-20 But that's only when you have a child who could care less about the handles.
For my 9month plus daughter, the handles are a must, they let her handle the cup one handed and not drop it all over. (Despite typical infant flinging, that is).
I thought this cup was going to be the answer with this kiddo since I loved that other Tommee tipee cup: http://www.amazon.com/Tommee-Tippee-Explora-Spill-proof-Drinking/dp/B005ACPX0A/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1328914361&sr=8-20 However, believe the bad reviews, this thing can leak like no tomorrow. I'm shocked anyone can even give a good review for it. They do look pretty..and my daughter did get the idea of what she was supposed to do with this. But she was always soaked and the high chair tray filled with the water that could literally pour out of the cup.
So again, back to these particular playtex cups to use until she she can use the other cups. Although my 3 year old will still use these cups from his first year but just without the plastic insert to reduce flow.
