Toddler Sippy Cup suggestions

Any suggestions for good, non-leaking toddler sippy cups? DD has used the nuby kind with the staw:
Nuby 2-Pack 10 oz No-Spill Cup with Flexi Straw, Colors May Vary
But she's bitten through the straw at daycare twice and they've requested we don't send anymore.

 

Re: Toddler Sippy Cup suggestions

  • We've tried all the straw cups and they all leak at some point--we stick with the playtex ones--they seem to last and not leak

    I keep a few extra valves on hand in case one gets eaten in the disposal.   

     

  • We use a lot of the little take & toss kinds (both with the sippy spout and the straw), but they are pretty easy to chew through (I've recently thrown away a few of them) so that might not be the best option!  We also have these Playtex ones, which are insulated and the spout is really thick so it would be difficult to chew through:

  • we have used take-and-toss cups practically exclusively. The best part is when they get chewed by Mo, or EJ, or left in an odd place and the milk spoils I throw them away. They do leak, but barely.

    Those ones....The Gerber Graduates are good too...although I do have one that every other time I put the lid on it squirts liquid out.

    I'll add my vote for the Playtex ones as well.  All the ones with straws leaked or got chewed through for us, but the Playtex ones lasted very well!

  • We use the ones that the others posted, and they've held up well.  For daycare and to throw in the diaper bag, we use the take and toss ones.  Eventually the lids get chewed up, so we just pitch them.  (We've just gotten to the point where we have a ton of  cups, and few lids, so I plan to order some replacement lids.)
  • We use the playtex ones that others posted (note the lids for the smaller ones with handles didn't seem to fit right and leaked--but the ones with out the handles were great.

     I also like the valves on these gerber ones better:

  • we have only used the Gerber Graduates really for years!

     I have had to buy valves but they last really well and they get scratched up some but have never worn any out and we have some that are literally YEARS old. 

     I never went to the bigger size because he never seems to drink more than this and if it sits he complains and wants new cold whatever anyway. They do make them in 7 oz.

  • Once Wes chewed through all of his sippies I switched him to the plastic take n toss kind with a straw. He still gnaws on them, but they don't leak afterwards like the silicone ones do. Lanna never drank from anything but the take n toss straw ones. We don't actually toss them (for the record).
