Look for a product that will not leak or spill easily and is easy to clean thoroughly
As babies grow into toddlers, the challenges of the new infancy fade away, replacing them with more complex and chaotic challenges.
Unexpectedly, we found that one of the biggest challenges for toddlers is finding a foolproof beaker for toddlers that does not leak or spill and is easy to clean thoroughly.
When your baby starts to wean solid foods, it's time to start using a beaker with a soft silicone mouth, which mimics a baby bottle and is soft on the small gums.
As they grow older, you can move them to harder nozzles, straw cups, and straws.
Since beakers are relatively cheap, it is worth buying a range of designs to see which is best for your child. We recommend that you review the cleaning guide before buying and choose based on your attention and patience.
There is nothing worse than removing the complicated internal structure of the straw cup and discovering it is covered with moldy apple juice milk cocktail (especially when your little one has just drunk it).
We are particularly enthusiastic about this subject, because the old beaker of unreliable toddlers has burned (and suppressed). We tested the best toddler beakers on the market, looking for materials that are easy to use, leak-free, hygienic, valuable, and FDA approved and BPA-free.
Our little testers look for interesting designs and good grip on their little hands.
You can trust our independent review. We may earn commissions from some retailers, but we will never allow this to influence choices, which are based on real-world tests and expert advice. This income helps us to fund the journalism of The Independent.
These are specially designed for early weaning and are made of FDA approved (BPA-free) silicone. The nipple is very soft, and the silicone texture helps our little tester to hold the beaker more easily. They can be used in dishwashers and microwave ovens, even if the cup is upside down, zero leakage impressed us and breathed a sigh of relief.
We like seven beautiful shades, each of which is designed to match one of the Cove Baby placemats and cushion covers. They are not cheap, but they will last forever. Once your child's beaker age is over, it can still be used as a cup for older children, just remove the soft silicone lid. These beakers provide us with the best choice in terms of style and practicality.
We like the pattern of this cup as much as our little tester. We also like the simplicity of the design. It has a one-piece valve, and the outlet is made of hard plastic, which is very durable-it is even chew-proof.
Even after months of use with silicone and rubber starting to warp, the sturdy plastic and lack of moving parts make it easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and leak-proof. We were impressed that it refused to leak, even if it was thrown to the other side of the room. It has a considerable amount of 250 ml of liquid, and the steady flow ensures that it will not flow out all at once. Our little testers over one year old can use it without any problems.
This straw cup has been designed for seven months. As young children become more dexterous, the handles will fall off. We like the one-piece valve that is easy to clean, and the easy flip cap prevents bacteria from entering. The whole cup can be put in the dishwasher and microwave. It did not leak in the baby bag or when the little tester drank water.
The soft and durable nozzle easily touches the small gums and is strong enough to handle incredibly sharp small teeth. We like the interesting design, the different sizes, and it matches the wider range of Vital Baby weaning accessories. Most importantly, we like price-great value for money and quality.
This beaker can hold a capacity of 260 ml and is insulated, so a drink will remain cool and appetizing throughout the outing. Nevertheless, it is still very light, and the large handle helps small hands to hold it without any problems. The spout is small and soft, very suitable for small gums, and strong enough to withstand teething.
We like anti-spill valves that are truly effective. It needs to be removed for cleaning, but it deserves peace of mind. Our little tester likes the bright design. It can be used in dishwashers, it is safe and durable-and also great value for money.
These beakers are so bright and shiny, and we like their appearance. The fact that they can be personalized is cute, but also very useful when dealing with multiple children. They are strong plastic and wear-resistant. They wash well in the dishwasher, but you need to remove the valve for a thorough cleaning and make sure to replace it. We like the beautiful handles and interesting colors.
Our little testers like to have their own cup, and we like to know exactly which cup it is. This is a lovely gift or a beautiful beaker that can be taken to the nursery without getting lost.
This sippy cup can hold a large amount of liquid of 270 ml. We like the lid to keep the nozzle clean, while it mixes with all the crumbs, weird socks, and other terrible things in most baby bags. If your child, like our tester, is distracted by playing with the lid and forgets to drink, you can remove it.
The silicone spout is soft and simple, suitable for 9-month-old babies. The water flow is not too strong. This beaker can also help children transition to using the cup when they learn the "head-back" drinking action. Our little testers can easily master it and love the superhero design. We like that it can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Watching a toddler learn to drink with a straw is an interesting physics lesson, at least about five minutes. We like to see the small gears in their brains working when they tilt their cups, and wonder why the straws don't work. It is cute, until the inevitable happens, everyone needs to change clothes and drink new wine.
This cup has a weighted straw that can move upward with the liquid, and children focus on the basics of drinking with a straw. Our little testers took some time to master, but this is a good way to solve the basic learning curve. Fold the straw when the lid is closed to prevent leakage. It is possible to use spare straws and a straw brush for thorough cleaning, but we found that we only need to put it in the dishwasher. The styles of panda and pink teddy are also super cute.
Munchkin cups are a staple food for young children. The design is genius-let children learn to drink water from the cup, but will not splash a drop of water. When the little lips push the edge of the silicone, the liquid will be released-very smart indeed. Our six-month little tester quickly mastered it, and even older toddlers loved it.
Our favorite is that it is easy to clean under the flip cap, and we believe it will not leak after months of use-it stays as good as new. It has bright colors, depending on the degree of dexterity, with and without handles. This is also very valuable.
This cup looks stylish and stylish and is made of solid silicone. The bottom of the cup adopts a weighted design to avoid overflow, and the cup lid is drip-proof. It can be used in dishwashers and microwave ovens, and its simple design makes it very easy to clean. As the child grows up, it can be used as a straw cup and training cup. There is no handle, but the soft material makes it easy for small hands to hold.
This is not a cheap option, but a stylish design from a very trustworthy designer baby brand. We like the soft mint color-it is clearly designed for aesthetically conscious parents.
This cup develops with your child. When they can hold the cup, the handle can fall off, and when they can drink from the cup like an adult, they can remove the spout. We like that whenever we are nervous about beautiful clothes, the spout can always be reopened. Unless it is turned upside down, it is leak-proof.
It is not cheap, but the plastic is very resistant and can be washed in the dishwasher, so this set can last a long time. The biggest cause of the death of our beaker is accidentally taking someone else's straw home, so its unique design means it is harder to misplace it. We also like educational elements.
Despite its name and the large capacity of 360 ml, the little fox design of this beaker is indeed quite sweet. It contains a lot of technology-our little tester is obsessed with pressing the button to release the nozzle. The water spout and the holder are made of soft silica gel, and the rest are made of tritan; a shatterproof plastic.
When the lid is closed, it is all dishwasher safe and leak-proof. Children over 18 months will like it because it feels grown up. We like it because we can easily see how clean or empty it is.
When choosing a toddler beaker, there are only two real questions that must be asked: Will it leak? Will it leak after a few months of washing? If the answer is no, then you are the winner. Long service life and no leakage, coupled with ease of use for children, easy cleaning for us, and pleasant design are what we have been looking for.
The Cove Baby beaker meets all these requirements. Since we often lose the beaker, value for money is also a key point, which makes Vital Baby's Hydrate easy to suck next.
