- Kids love to spill. It only takes seconds for a clean space to become covered in sticky milk.
- Sippy cups give parents peace of mind and help train kiddos to drink without spilling.
- After much research and testing, we found the Munchkin Miracle 360 Sippy Cup to be the best for most people with its spill-proof top and ease of cleaning.
When your child reaches 12 to 18 months of age, you'll need to start making the transition from bottles to sippy cups. The American Pediatrics Association recommends transitioning from the bottle when your baby is around one year to help prevent tooth decay. You can start sippy cup training much earlier to help make the transition more manageable in the long run.
When it comes to sippy cups, there are options for all ages and styles. Most grocery stores and retailers have dedicated shelf space for the magical cups. You'll find ones with straws and some with handles. The colors are bright, the designs fun, and some even have your kid's favorite superhero on them. While you'll appreciate all the choices, they might actually overwhelm you: Which ones are best? Which ones are easy-to-clean? How do they work?
In this guide, I looked at hundreds of reviews, asked other parents, and used my own personal experience to choose the best sippy you can buy. I based my choices on essential sippy cup criteria to make sure my recommendations are solid. The requirements included spill factor, ease of use, how easy to clean, material, and cost.
