Advantages: Nice size, colours, handles easy for baby to use,strong, price

Disadvantages: The lid can leak

When your baby is around 4 months or so it is recommended to give them a beaker to get them used too drinking from the spout and using the other muscles in their face, rather than getting too attached to the bottle.

I have used these beakers for both of my children, my oldest is nearly 4 and my youngest currently uses these to drink out of and he is 18 months.

We don't just have these cups, we also have a Tesco branded cup which is a different design, which I think is made a lot better than this Tommee Tippee Beaker, but there is still a lot I like about this beaker.

We have 2 of these beakers in blue and green, but you can also get them in Red and Yellow.

The size is just right for a small child, and the handles at the side are brilliant designed so your child can pick the drink up themselves. I have seen so many drinking cups meant for babies but with no handles! And I didn't realise this till I had children myself.

I also like the spout part of the cup, although it is not non drip (so if you lay it on its side or tip it upside down the liquid will come out) it provides just enough juice for a small child to get out of the cup.

The spout also lays back down flat so when transporting nothing will come out of it. But there are some many downsides to the design of this cup.

Don't ever just put this in your bag, the chances are it will leak and make everything wet, trust me I have done this a few times, you would think I would have learned the first time but no I thought maybe it was my fault as you have to push the top down really hard otherwise it comes lose.

I think they should make it a screw top lid as it would be a lot more likely to stop those drips.

This is the ony real design flaw of this cup, You really need to make sure you keep an eye on your child drinking this, If they drop it from the highchair it can actually make the top of the lid come off! Then if it's tipped to the side, again it spills. Not a good idea if you have light coloured carpets!

They are really easy to clean and very durable.

You can pick these up in most places I got mine in Asda or Tesco for about £2

Would give this 3 out of 5!

Summary: 3 out of 5!
