I Tested 5 "Leak-Proof" Cups. Only 2 Actually Survived.
There is a lie printed on every toddler cup in the grocery store. It says, "100% Leak Proof." As a parent, you know this is false. A toddler can find a way to leak water out of a bank vault. So, instead of trusting the label, I tested them. I bought the 5 most popular cups and threw them on the floor. Here is what happened. The Contenders The Spout Cup (Nuk): Good for babies, bad for toddlers. The spout is hard to clean (mold grows inside the valve). The Straw Cup (Contigo): Excellent for travel, but if the straw breaks, it's game over. The 360 Cup (Munchkin): The weird-looking one with no spout. The Winner: Munchkin 360 If you want to save your rug, buy the Munchkin Miracle 360 . Why it won: The "Drop" Test: I dropped it from high chair height. It didn't leak a drop. The "Shake" Test: I shook it upside down. Nothing. The Dentist Factor: Pediatric dentists hate hard spouts (they mess up teeth alignment). This cup forces the child to drink...
