Quest for No-leak Sippy

I came here to post this same question! I guess I will be trying the Nalgene as well. Not only does my daughter not like the platex cups, but they spill at the lock for us too! Thanks for the post!

The ones that have held up the best for us year after year (we have a 4 year-old and a 2 year-old) are the Nalgene brand, but they're expensive. ~$8/cup, but they're worth it. They also hold a little more volume than normal sippy cups as well.

We originally found them at Dick's sporting goods, but we recently saw them at Target, too.

We've also had good luck with most of the Platex that have the valves (especially those that look like travel coffee mugs) and the Munchkin brand with valves (our kids have the Dora/Diego ones).

Good luck!

My kids practically went from bottle to straw because I despised sippy cups. The straw cups are soooo much better and can be closed when not in use. Also I would suggest tumblers from Tupperware. The lids have a suction straw opening and when there is no straw in it, nothing comes out when turned upside down!

I love the cups from Learning Curve, they have straws. For the most part they are 100% leak proof. If my son takes a drink and leaves some in the straw, that of course will spill out. But if there isn't any in the top of the straw they are perfect. He can lay it on the floor and there is no puddle after I pick it up. Gook luck!

I think it's a quest most of us have been on.

My 22 month old does the same thing with his cups. We have never had a problem with the platex sippys that have the silicon valve in them. Any cup that has a hard plastic valve will pop out if it hits something hard enough.

I have to second the Playtex post. I've recently switched to these from the Nuby brand, and will not buy anything else. My son also chucks them across the room, down stairs, etc.... and not a drop has spilled out.
Plus, since they're insulated, they keep drinks cool for him now that it's summer.
Big vote for them here!

Playtex has always been good to us... and the little silicon valve piece that you put in the bottom of the top can be replaced if damaged or not working (I found the replacement part at Babies R Us).

If the cup has cold liquid in it the wet spot could just be because of the condensation on the cup. The only way to avoid that is to give room temp liquids in the cup, or liquid that is a little cold but not straight from fridge.

I have a question. Why does your child need to drink when in the car? I dont understand this new idea that people have to drink 24/7 to keep 'hydrated'. WHAT?? Today everything is air conditioned or heated. Years ago before A/C people sweated without bottled water or drinking every 5 minutes and survived very nicely. I see people all the time driving and drinking a beverage. Thats almost as dangerous as texting, considering you have to uncap or unscrew the bottle and then tip your head to drink. Try leaving the sippy cup at home along with your water bottle.
Another thing is sippy cups are horrible for a child's teeth. Teach her to drink out of a real cup soon so her orthodontist will be unhappy.

Sorry, I never found one but I did come up with some ideas to keep me sane. 1) Only water in the car, no stains. 2) There were no cups allowed on the furniture, and again only water or milk anyways. Hope that helps

The advent style sippy's NEVER leak. Their spouts are compatible with the stainless steel sippys which are more expensive, but can be found at places like homegoods for $6. With my first we went through so many sippy cups and the spouts get funky moldy build up eventually - it was hard to switch to the more expensive stainless steel ones, but they last forever. Each of my kids have 2 and in the long run they are not only healthier, but more economic.

I was in your same boat until I randomly purchased my son a Cars sippy cup from the disney store... IT NEVER HAS LEAKED and I keep telling myself to go buy more! You would never think a random cup from the disney store would make a mom so happy but it does!!! :) Here is link, they make it different characters!! :) Good Luck

we used the nuby ones. the didn't leak by themselves but if your child purposely squeezes the tip, the drink will shoot out. my 2 year old thought it was great. we don't use sippys anymore!

We use the Gerber Sip & Smile and never had any problems. I bought a couple of super cute Learning Curve ones and they were horrible.

I recently went to the grocery store and on the JUICE aisle I saw these "Tummy Tickler" juice bottles. It had Bob the Builder, Clifford, Buzz Lightyear, etc so I bought one. It's the only cup I put dark juice in as I have yet to see it leak. My husband said he got it to leak when he shook it up and down. But one drop only when shaken was no big deal for me. It's top-rack dishwasher safe. I've washed them a few times now and have had no problems.

At my store, the juice bottle (comes with 100% apple juice) was $2.00. So now we have two of them. He always wants to drink out of these since his fav character is on top. http://www.tummytickler.com/

We use tommee tippee sippy cups. Found at Babies R Us. We have never had a problem with them leaking and my son will throw them. These are the best we've come across and we have tried many. We will stick with these. They are about $8 for a 2 pack.

I have found that using the Avent bottles with the sippy tops is the very best in the no leakage field. You really might want to think about not giving anything to your child in the car since she likes to throw things. Not only is that dangerous, but it is only instilling bad manners. Be aware that using sippy cups that are non-leaking also means that the child has to suck harder on the cup in order for the liquid to come out. This excessive sucking can cause jaw problems later on.
