Advantages: Non spill straw, flip top slider, insulated

Disadvantages: plastic lifting around top, leaks a bit too easily

After leaving my son with his beaker in the buggy while we were out and on another occasion in his car seat, only to find he'd put it down up side down, I decided we needed to invest in a cup that didn't have a free flowing spout. While out shopping I noticed this and as he was coming up to a year old decided that it looked a bit more fun than some of the other non spill beakers available.

I have seen it in Boots and Tesco and also online, priced at £3.99 in Boots and currently £2.34 in Tesco. It is recommended for older babies aged 12months+.

It is a non spill beaker that uses an integral straw in the lid section with a flip over cover to keep th estraw protected when not in use. It is an insulated beaker so will help to keep your childs drink cooler for longer than a regular beaker.

My son found it easy to drink from straight away and it was great not having to worry about him sitting in a puddle like with his free flowing beakers!

However I have found that the plastic around the flip top slider keeps lifting away so I have to push it back down before I give to my son. I also find I need to screw the lid on really tightly otherwise it leaks a bit around the top. It is also fiddly to clean the straw section well.

Overall it is a good sized beaker and my son likes it as he finds it fun having the straw instead of the hard spout as with his other beakers. But I feel

Summary: Not a beaker for everyday use
