Advantages: Soft spout, easy to hold

Disadvantages: Valve a little hard to clean

These are really lovely first cups for when you're baby is starting to move on to having a little water between meals etc, or you're encouraging water or juice with meals. It's the perfect size for tiny hands, holding only about 100ml, and means that they can actually grip on to it. No messy handles that they have to try and get to grips with either. The soft spout is cushioned so that if they have no teeth yet it is soft on their gums and the valve inside means that it is no spill, and it really does work. The only problem with this cup is that the valves can be hard to clean, which is fine if you only use the cup for water, but if you introduce milk or juice can be a little bit more of a problem. However, if you just soak them in very hot water that seems to do the trick. Both of my kids loved these cups and graduated onto the identical but larger cups.

Summary: A great allrounder as a first cup.
