Avent Natural Cup - 9 oz

Comments about Natural Cup - 9 oz:

Now that she's 18 mos, she tries to tilt her cup up to drink (good skill to learn) and the straw cups aren't cutting it. She had a bit of a learning curve with this cup, so I was a bit doubtful to start, but now I think that's been really good since it's helped her learn to balance the liquid in a cup.

It might spill a bit if you press on the top too hard or leave some in the rim, but not much and it's worth the learning.

I got this on a whim for my 14mo son. I really didn't expect him to take to it but he did. He seems to enjoy drinking from it.

Pros:
Nice handles that seem easy to grip.
Valve is really sensitive.
Comes apart easily.
Flow of liquid seems enough for little mouths but not so fast it pours all over.
When not in use it doesn't leak if it is tipped over.

Cons:
Valve has lots of parts.
If any liquid is left in the rim after drinking it can spill out if the cup is shaken or tilted.

Over all I like this cup and will probably get another for my son.

Really cool way for little ones to use a big girl/boy cup. The valve lid allow free flow of liquid when child mouth is touching it but closes when the child takes the cup away. The only negative is that the valve assembly is like 4 different pieces so disassembling, washing a reassembling is a little bit of a pain but other than that it is great.
