ezpz Mini Cup (Pewter)
A grippy open cup with a weighted base and simple cleaning. It is not spill-proof; check the 12-month-plus guidance and size before choosing it for early weaning.
Age guidance: 12 months and over
Compare this productb.box Sippy Cup 240 mL (Sage)
Useful for straw drinking at different angles, with replaceable parts. Cleaning is more involved than an open cup. Flow feedback is mixed and the valve has changed, so test your child’s current cup.
Age guidance: 6 months and over
Compare this productRe-Play No-Spill Sippy Cup (Black)
A spout cup with a relatively simple removable valve. Useful if that drinking style suits your child; clean the valve carefully and test for leaks before carrying it loose in a bag.
Age guidance: 9 months and over
Compare this productOXO Tot Grow Straw Cup (Dusk)
The attached lid and removable straw are practical everyday features. Cleaning takes more work than an open cup; check your child can draw liquid comfortably before relying on spill-resistance claims.
Age guidance: 6 months and over
Compare this productb.box 360 Cup 250 mL (Strawberry Shake)
Handles and a sealed rim offer an alternative to straw drinking. Your child must learn the sipping action, and the seal adds cleaning; test travel leaks rather than assuming it is leak-proof.
Age guidance: 6 months and over
Compare this productb.box Training Cup 240 mL (Blush)
A free-flow training cup with a visible liquid level, suited to children ready for that drinking style. Expect spills; its 12-month-plus guidance makes it a later option rather than a first weaning cup.
Age guidance: 12 months and over
