Advantages: Easy to clean, fun presentation

Disadvantages: Not entirely spill proof

Description of product:

This product is Tommee Tippee 'Kids on the go! Super sipper', it is suitable for babies and toddlers over 9 months. It comes in three colours as far as I have seen in the shops, in pink, clear and blue. It is beautifully decorated and has cartoons of cats, cakes, balloons, presents and other children friendly objects/characters. It can have 300ml of liquid inside but unfortunately does not have measurements listed on the actual beaker so you can't measure how much you are putting inside. It has a flip up spout which can easily be put down to avoid spills when not in use. It has a screw top lid which is fairly easy to open and close.

Cost and availability:

It can be bought from most large supermarkets, I have bought three altogether, from three different stores, Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury. I have also seen this beaker in a few different pharmacies, one being Lloyds. It can be bought from Ebay and many other online stores. Therefore it is relatively easy to obtain one of these.

The cost of the product varies from £2.42 to over £3.00. I have seen it the cheapest at Sainsbury's for £2.42. Perhaps some sellers may be selling cheaper on Ebay.

Advantages of product:

It is extremely easy to clean, probably the easiest beaker or bottle I have ever needed to clean. It just has two parts, the lid and the actual bottle which is large enough to use a sponge or large brush to clean and the spout easily flips to allow for quick and easy cleaning.

It has a very entertaining and fun design that attracts children to it. My daughter didn't take well to weaning off the bottle to beaker, however when she saw this beaker she was attracted to the cartoon designs of cats and balloons and the vastly pink colour.

It allows free flow so that the child does not have to suck hard to release the liquid. Also it is leak proof when the spout is placed back therefore can be stored in bags without fear of leaks.

Disadvantages of product:

When the spout is open it can easily be spilled if pushed or child shakes it. Therefore would not think of it as completely spill proof unless the spout is closed. Unlike other similar products which can be wobbled about without leakage as it has an automatic release spout when the baby/child sucks.

Another con is that it does not have measurements listed on the actual beaker so that you would not know how much liquid you are putting inside. For cows milk, water, juices on the whole will not make much difference but if your child is still on formula it would be difficult to measure the correct amount.

My opinion:
I spent a lot of money and time trying different beaker style bottles to get my daughter off the original bottle and she would not like the beakers that she would have to suck hard to realise the milk. However she liked this product the most and still uses it for her milk and water. It is easy to clean and straight forward with no little pieces inbetween. It is long lasting and I have not had any problems on the whole.

Summary: Great
