About this deal
It’s recommended from six months old, though we think a six-month-old might struggle to hang onto it reliably (no handles) but it’s a good and long-lasting starting point. I've never used a cup like this with a weighted straw before but it's great and really does stop my little boy from getting frustrated when he's desperate for a drink and nothing comes out.
This can be used from as young as four months too, so you can get your child started on sippy cups early. Because all babies are different and moving from the breast or baby bottle can be a challenging transition, they come in all shapes and sizes.They’re made for flip, bite and sip use with a straw, a button-press lid and a valve that delivers a steady flow. If you’re after a budget option, the long-respected Tommee Tippee Essential Free-Flow First Cup is a good choice. The straw is safe to go in the dishwasher but don’t put it in the microwave as it has metal parts inside the weighted end.

In fact, this same design has been around since the 1950s but we say: if it ain’t broke, why fix it? If it seems this might be too tricky for your little one (as some parents reviewed), they could grow into this after something with more of a sucking style (see below). The Tum Tum Tippy Up Sippy Cup has a nifty weighted straw that follows the liquid as the cup is tipped up, so that the user is never sucking at fresh air.
