Mini Cup + Straw Training System (Baby / Toddler 9+ months)
ezpz
The Mini Cup + Straw Training System is a two-in-one drinking cup for toddlers 9 months and up, designed to teach an open-cup skill and safe straw use in one tool. The straw is built to work as both a beginner and a more advanced training straw as a child's skills progress, and the design is intended to reduce spillage compared to a fully open cup.
The cup, lid and straw are made from 100% food-grade silicone that has been third-party tested and is free of BPA, BPS, PVC and phthalates, and the material is described as hypoallergenic. The straw has sensory bumps on its training side meant to give tactile feedback that helps a child feel where their lips should rest. The cup has a weighted base and tactile bumps intended to add topple resistance, and the whole system is dishwasher and microwave safe.
The cup holds a 4oz portion and is sized for small hands to hold and manage on their own. It is not marketed as fully spill-proof, and some liquid can escape from the straw opening if the cup is tipped or dropped.
