I've tried several different kinds now, including Foogo, Funtainter, plastic thermos looks like the Camelback one, Munchkin, and Pigeon. I think the weight and handles are perfect for LO. Can't wait for her to use the Foogo more, but agreed she'll bang or throw it, and liquid spills out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-straw-cup-1#post-1851451 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 05:56:06 +0000 Grace 1851451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nubi.

Every other straw cup we have ends up out of rotation for awhile b/c I let them pile up/dread scrubbing each part. We have a playtex one that doesn't leak at all though, I do like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-straw-cup-1#post-1851371 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:10:46 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1851371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: whoa, I didn't even realize they came out with a plastic one til I went to amazon just now, but yes these ones - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Phases-Stainless-Bottle-Yellow/dp/B00318CO6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1409973002&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=foogo" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Phases-Stainless-Bottle-Yellow/dp/B00318CO6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1409973002&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=foogo</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-straw-cup-1#post-1851370 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:09:27 +0000 autumnlove 1851370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: @Mrs. Sketchbook: The stainless foogos? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-straw-cup-1#post-1851301 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 20:16:42 +0000 ShootingStar 1851301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using the Take n Toss ones and the Oxo Tot ones - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Tot-Straw-Green-Ounce/dp/B005XTKJAY/ref=sr_1_1_m?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1409966103&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=oxo+tot+straw+cup" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Tot-Straw-Green-Ounce/dp/B005XTKJAY/ref=sr_1_1_m?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1409966103&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=oxo+tot+straw+cup</a></p> <p>Our issue with straw cups is that DS doesn't like the ones where there's a special trick to the straw or you have to suck really hard.

Lol! Before we were using take and tosses so the foogo is much better but yeah, it is definitely not completely toddler proof! </p> <p>One more pro for the foogo/funtainer: Versus the take and tosses I find myself wasting far less milk since it stays cooler longer.

Foogo! I love it. Double walled and keeps drinks insulated for 12 hours. No plastic except the straw body (straw spout is silicone). Same as the funtainer.

Before we were using a free flow tommee tippee cup, and he would just spend the whole time pouring it out -whereas the b box I can give him without him drenching himself. Sadly it does leak in transit so I end up putting it in a ziploc before it goes in my bag, but he's drinking so much more water now which is great as I'm trying to reduce his formula intake. It's a b*tch to clean though!</p> <p>ETA Ooh camelbaks - I have one of those myself but didn't know they did kid versions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-straw-cup-1#post-1851024 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:47:00 +0000 MrsF 1851024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used zolis for water when she was little but I find them a little hard to clean. </p> <p>Now we use these munchkin cups every day.

I haven't tossed any yet, but they're super cheap, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if I did. I put a smoothie for my daughter in it every morning and it surprisingly doesn't leak (unless she turns it upside down).
