OXO Tot Sippy Cup Set

"I can do it myself!" says the independent child. "I'll go get a roll of paper towels!" says the prudent Mom.

Perhaps items that help streamline the path to independent drinking will help, like the OXO Tot Sippy Cup with Handles. This set is designed to walk your child through the steps of learning how to drink on his own, converting from a sippy cup to a trainer cup to a regular (but very cute) cup. The OXO Sippy Cup is designed to minimize the mess your baby can make as he learns, while maximizing his comfort (it even has an adorable dent in the top for his nose).

In sippy cup mode, the OXO Tot Sippy Cup has a sippy spout with a leakproof valve, and large, curved handles that are angled for an easy grip – babies don't have to turn their wrists too much to hold on tightly. When your baby gets the hang of gripping his sippy, remove the handles so he can practice holding and tilting a regular cup. When he gets the hang of using the sippy, he can graduate to the trainer cup top: it's a clear insert with perforations around the edge which control the flow of liquid out of the cup. And finally, once your child has mastered the training cup, remove the training insert and voila! You have a cup the whole family can use. This is a product that's designed to follow and enhance your child's development, and to have a very, very long life in your kitchen.

Of course, the sippy valves on the OXO Tot Sippy Cup are easy to remove and wash, and the whole cup is top-rack dishwasher safe. Contains no BPA, phthalates, or PVC.
