My son drinks a lot of water and juice in between meals so we need a lot of spill proof cups that we can take along if not use at home. My son is not really an avid fan of the spout cup so you can imagine my hesitation in buying a Philips Avent Insulated Sippy Cup. The design looks really cute and my son being able to identify some of the animals, is going to be a treat.
Attending the Philips Avent Christmas party gave me the opportunity to win the Insulated cup (thanks Avent!). It was the perfect time to test if my son is now comfortable drinking from a spout and to see if the Philips Insulated Cup really is magic.
The Philips Avent Insulated Sippy Cup is recommended for toddlers from 18 months onwards but my then 16 month old son was able to easily drink from it. It comes in different colors and adorable animal designs that any boy or girl could like. In fact my son loves his yellow elephant cup so much that he has learned to say "ephant" everytime he sees it.
It is insulated, meaning it can keep your drinks fresh for a long time. Although it doesn't come with a handle, my son can grip the cup just fine. The spout is soft but not as soft compared to Pigeon's MagMag; and it's not as hard as the Playtex Insulators. Did I mention this is also BPA free?
What I also like about it is that it has a flip top cover that is detachable. You can use the cover when traveling and remove them when at home. I just wish that the cover is a little easy to open but I take it as a plus feature because my son won't be able to play with it. There are days though that my son gets impatient especially if it's taking me a while before I can open it.
The cup is very durable. This cup has been thrown, kicked and has fallen off the tables and chairs for a month now. And it hasn't been damaged a bit. The valve and the cup is fairly easy to clean. I just use the Avent brush to reach down and clean the bottom of the cup.
Is it spill proof? Well, I don't have to put the cup inside the zip lock bag so the water won't spill inside the diaper bag or my bag, that's for sure. One more thing that I love about it is that, it can contain 9 oz of liquid (water or juice) which is enough for my son.

I love Philips Avent, my son is actually using avent milk bottles. But I never tried this sippy cup. mahal na masyado hindi na kaya ng bulsa hehe.. :)
