Review: Philips Avent 260ml Grown Up Cups

Unlike other "non spill" cups I've tried, Avents grown up cup is actually non spill. Ive shaken it, left if upside down full of water, tipped on its side full of water... and the bench around it stays dry! Also very easy for bub to use, and I found I could also assist bub when his lip didn't reach the centre section properly. I was able to touch it gently to make the water flow, without protest from bub! The pictures are also a great touch, to make it a bit more appealing to a young child! Definitely a recommended product, and one I will be buying more of!

My daughter love love loves this! I actually have had to go buy more as she refuses any other bottle now. You can see she feels like such a big girl. My only issue is the fast flow. She tends to stop drinking before the cup has been put down so it spills down her front. But small price to pay to learn the skill of drinking from a cup!

I bought one of the Avent cups for my toddler. Very easy to use and no mess. Will be fantastic for out and about or even on the couch. Also this is so much better for their teeth than a straw or spout cup. I'm so happy with it , I will be buying some more

when I first this I thought 'Hmmm, pretty sure you can't get a good toddler sippy cup, they all have at least one fault.' And I'm happy to report I was very pleasantly surprised. The cup is easy for little ones to hold and use. The bright colours it is available in are just delightful. But best of all is the spill proof valve that only lets the drink flow when lips are touching it. What a brilliant invention

My daughter is 2o months old and loves to do everything her older brothers do (aged 5 & 8). This includes many things as well as drinking out of a 'big kid cup'. I found the Philips Avent Grown Up cup a life saver when we went out as well as around the home as she could be a big kid with a 'grown-up' cup but there was not mess to content with afterwards. She learnt very quickly how to use the cup and loved her 'special big kid' cup! Advice to all parents -> Avoid the spillage - get a Philips Avent Grown up Cup!! :)

We've been using the cup for a few weeks now and whilst he easily gets the gist of how to use it and loves drinking out of it as well as our cups.. he still makes massive mess with spilling all over him. It's a good thing the weather has warmed up! It's a great cup and certainly makes for a great transition from sippy cup to regular cup.

When I first received this cup I thought it was a cute and colourful cup. The pictures for how to pull it apart were a little bit confusing (I still don't know if there is a difference in the way up the clear bit goes.) But after all that, Lil Miss picked it up and drank her water like a pro. With most sippy cups that claim to be spill-proof usually don't stand up to their claims when being tipped, thrown, or being used when wearing 'fancy' clothes, but this one does. There has only been one occasion where we have had to change clothes and that is when we had a chai latte together, but that may have been because she was reclining back and not really concentrating on what she was doing. I love that this cup has handles for easier holding (especially with messy, greasy hands), doesn't spill and can't be filled with food, as what happens when we attempt a normal cup.

After having this cup for a few days now my daughter is still infatuated with it… She wants to take it everywhere. She gives everyone 'cheers' with it and thinks it is very funny. We took the cup to creche today for the first time and upon returning home the cup was left in her bag upside down. I immediately thought 'great now all her things will be wet' but after removing the cup from the bag there was not one drop of water. I highly recommend this cup to all mums and dads and i'm going to be purchasing more of them. Great product Philips Avent!!

I absolutely love the grown up cup, My daughter loved it straight away. No more trying to take Mum or Dads drink anymore she now has her own cup. Yay!

I won't use any other toddler transitioning cup now as this one is awesome! My 7 month old can use it and loves it! So glad we were given the opportunity to review this because I think it is a fantastic way to get them drinking water without the spillage! Would like to add that I wish I got a green cup though!!!!

Firstly i will say i was honestly sceptical whether this cup would actually live up to its expectations but i am pleasantly surprised! My daughter was so excited when it arrived in the mail yesterday, she finally has her very own big girl cup like her big brothers. At first she wasn't sure how to get the drink out of it but once i showed her how mummy drinks out of her cup she copied me and got the hang of it. She will not let anyone else tough it, it's hers! lol. I have turned it upside down and shaken it and not a drop leaks out of it, it really is non-spill as it claims unlike most of the other cups we have that claimed to be yet leave puddles on my floor if not left upright which is impossible with toddlers. I am very happy with this cup and will be purchasing a couple more. The only problem i have now is my 4 year old wants one too now so i may have to get him one too :-) Great review to be a part of, thanks MOM and Philips Avent!

We love the Avent grown up cup so much that we have been carrying it everywhere we go. I have either talked to my friends or someone would ask me about it. The no spill design actually works. Our toddler is currently at a stage of testing everything. For example, she would pour water everywhere and tip food onto the table etc. We just love the design overall. Looks great and actually function as a cup. It took her no time to learn how to drink from it. Thanks for giving us the cup to try.

Surprisingly simple to take apart to clean, the no spill top is pretty nifty. My little miss found it easy to drink from, although while turning it over and really getting to grips with her new cup there was some spillage. Not like other no spill valves which require a sucking action to get them to work. Having said that I really like this cup, as the ability to drink from any side of the cup is great, as well as being a cool looking little cup.

My son Albert is only 81/2 months old and I have been trying several different cups for a few weeks now. He does not yet comprehend a straw function and with traditional sippy cups, he only plays with it and does not actually drink any water. I was fearful that he was adverse to water over milk. With the Avent Grown Up Cup, he is able to both hold the cup and learn to drink with a natural sip and swallow style. He drank with interest and vigour, dropping half out of his mouth, but that will improve with time. I will only be using the Avent cup now until he is able to hold a cup unassisted. Learning to sip and swallow is a far more natural way to learn rather than biting hard silicone tips or sucking from straws. With summer fast approaching, I am more confident that he will drink more water as Albert will happily and successfully drink from the Avent cup. I would highly recommend the Avent Grown UP Cup. Despite being marked as 12months+ I think that many babies would manage it well far earlier than that. Especially since introducing water is so important.

A great cup for a toddler. Easy to hold and drink from. So far haven't had any major spills with it HOWEVER at one point my toddler worked out that she could press the lid to make the water come out. A really clever idea and has a good capacity suitable for younger to older toddlers. It's also been tossed off the highchair a couple of times and so far is still intact! Would love to have this one in a couple of different colours and get rid of some of the sippy cups that we have bought in the past that leak.

I bought this cup over the weekend and used it for my baby..he's stil learning how to hold a cup.... but with Avant, the structure was so sturdy and comfortable that he alsmost grasped it perfectly.... loved it !

My little guy loves drinking from this cup as it mimics a "grown up cup". The fact that it does not spill, or spills very little is an added bonus. We use it now as our cup of choice when out and about. It is easy to disassemble and wash in the dishwasher. There are no small parts to lose or break. It really is a very mum and baby friendly cup.

The Philips Avent Grown Up Cup is a fabulous product and I am so excited that I can literally throw away all of the annoying, leaky sippy cups cluttering up my cupboards! My daughter very quickly worked out what she was supposed to do with this Avent Cup (although at first she struggled to swallow the water so a lot spilled down her front). But pretty soon she got the hang of it and now we are totally drip-free! She absolutely loves water and now she can finally have her own cup that won't spill everywhere as she runs around playing and exploring. Plus, the handy lid means I can quickly throw the cup in my handbag while we are out and about (and not have to worry about leaks)! I absolutely love this product and definitely recommend it!

My bubba is only 7months old and doesn't seem to drink from any other cup i have given her so far. The ones with the hard tips that she is supposed to suck through, she ends up just playing with. I tried the AVENT grown up cup with her today and she actually managed to drink water out of it! You can definetly use it for bubs under 12months. she still dribbled a bit down her front but the flow control is much better for her than a normal cup. thank you AVENT!

This was a great product for my youngest when she started refusing regular sippy cups because she wanted to be the same as her big brothers and sister but she still wasn't quite ready to use a regular cup yet. At least not without a whole lot of water ending up on the floor. This was a great compromise option that helped her to feel like a big kid without the mess. We loved it!

This cup is such a fantastic idea. Our daughter loves to drink from adult cups but it always ends in disaster. Now we can control the water flow with this! She gets a bit excited though and pulls the cup away so quickly water continues to pour out for a short time but does drench the front of her. I think that's more the child then the cup though! All in all I love it and have even purchased another!

My 1 year old HATED sippy cups. I wasn't super excited about using them either and this cup solved our problems! My kid can easily hold and use this cup. It did take a bit of work for him to figure it out without spilling some water, but in just a few days he was sipping away and can now drink out of a regular cup with just a bit of assistance.

My daughter is 14 months old and is currently transitioning from bottle/sippy cup to regular cup. So far we had only practiced in the bath due to the mess factor, but with the Avent Grown Up Cup she is able to practice drinking from a "big girl cup" without the risk of it being emptied on the carpet! It took her a little while to get used to, but now she loves it and thinks she is very clever being able to drink from a cup like mummy!

just received my cup today! Played around with it and it looks good and feels good quality! Will test it out with Miss O when she gets pup from nap!

Having a 4 year old big sister, Mr 16 months wants to grow up quickly by mimicking all that she does, so I was eager to try the Avent grown up cup in the hope of a little less mess while he did so. On first inspection, I liked the bright colour, sturdy handles and also the clear cup for ease of checking water levels. I also liked that there was a sealing lid for when out and about. Our first use seemed a little tricky as he is used to cups with straws, but after showing him to tip it, he picked it up rather quickly. Our only problem was he didn't swallow quick enough before returning the cup down - but we worked on that and he seems to be getting less spillage from that. He has worked out though that if you hold the centre disc in, the water will run out and allow him to create puddles on his highchair tray - but that is all down to his cheeky nature I guess. Overall I like the Avent grown up cups and I will continue to purchase them in the future. Thank you Mouths of Mums for the chance of trialling it for you :)

So now we have been using the cup for a good 3 weeks. The more my son has used it the easier it got. All round a great idea, great colours and graphics on the cup. My son loves it and we will be buying more!

We've only just received our cup, but after a quick try I am so far happy with what I see. My son was able to use it straight away, which is no mean feet as he has hard time getting used to drinking out of any type of cup. He also managed to not spill any water which is a lifesaver for me!

This cup is a stepping stone between sippy cups and normal cups as it teaches toddlers how to control the amount and speed of the flow of liquid. The handles are helpful for toddlers to hold and it doesn't leak when turned upside down which inevitably happens! Cute design and bright colours make it easily found when misplaced.

my daughter loves this cup! Easy to use and clean which is perfect.....although she has figured out how to get the water out when she is drinking which has caused a few messes lol Great cup would 100% recommend to others!

Excellent product I was really impressed! Miss O loved using this but she is very curious 1yr old and figured out that she could use her hand to make water spill out. But she still uses it. Great design and loved it overall xxx

Our little one is 11 months old and he started using his cup just a few days ago. He learned to control it very quickly and even if tipped it does not spill. After a few uses he has become very proficient with it. I would really recommend it and find it far superior to any other products we have tried.

I liked this training cup, it was easy for my son to use and will be a good training cup for him to graduate into using regular cups when he's ready. I used it for milk as well as water at different times and he enjoyed drinking from it and feeling like he was a big boy like his older brother.

with all the brand out there we mums know we can turn to avent for trust in the brand, safety, usability and product innovativeness. I know when buying avent that i have peace of mind in the quality of their products and the grown up cup is progress. My neice loves hers and finds it easy to use, its easy to clean and is a reliable product,

We used the Grown Up Cup for the first time today. My 10.5 month old son had no trouble figuring out how to use this cup. I did make sure he was wearing an absorbent bib though as he spilled a lot of water onto himself. The no-spill aspect is handy but very easily circumvented by little fingers and mouths. It's great that the cup has a lid as well. Overall I'm really happy with the cup and would recommend it to others wanting to transition from a sippy or straw cup to a more 'grown up' option. My little one has enjoyed using his new cup as well and wouldn't let me take it off him after lunch.

The Avent cup is a brilliant idea!!! My son thinks he is now drinking from a cup like his mummy and daddy! The colours, picture & mls is a great idea for a cup (as my other sippy cups dont have these features). It is so easy to get the idea that is being put across. But! It does take a little bit to get used to for a child. I noticed everytime my son drank from it, he would tip it right up like a bottle and drench the front of himself (quite fun to watch actually). With persistence and teaching he got it! Easy to use now and not long for real "big boy's " cup!

My daughter tried the Avent grown up cup as her fist 'let's move onto a grown up cup" but seemed to struggle a little bit. Loved the fact that it had a cap and came in gorgeous colors but my daughter didn't quite seem to get the grip of drinking out of it.

I'm not sure why I would chose this over a normal cup with handles in another brand for cheaper. I also had difficulty with getting it all to screw together - I think there was something wrong with the thread. And my 2 year old still had difficulties drinking from it. She usually has a cup of water beside her bed.

My daughter is only 8 months old and easily used this cup. while she cant quite get the 'tip the cup up' motion yet, with assistance, she easily drank from this cup without an attached lid hitting her in the face or water leaking everywhere. Great handles to grip and leak proof.

It took a while and few messy moments, but my girls sort of have the idea of the cup - but it can spill out a bit, however when it's thrown on the floor, it does stay in the cup - thank god!!

My boys both have one of these cups (age 3 & 5) they have both managed to make them leak out all over the place. They manage to do it with nearly every bottle/cup that I have bought! I Really like them though.

Overall this cut is quite good but it certainly isn't easy to use and my 16 month old just struggled to get water out but my 3 year old nephew could. My daughter can more easily drink from a normal cup, great idea if it was easier to use and clean. $12 for something that is just an extra and not needed.I wouldnt really waste my time of money on it again but it might work better for other mums.

only received cup in post a few days ago, my son has looked at it and its taken a few attempts of encouraging as my little one is used to a nozel so he is looking for this to suck. once his realised, his now a master!! ive tried other “non spill” cups this actually is non spill. I've shaken it, left it upside down, and on its side and nothing no spill!

As a Speech Pathologist who works with children with disabilities, I think this cup is a great transition from a bottle or sippy cup. It was easy to get the water out & the water flowed out at a manageable rate, not too fast. The cup is also light & easy to hold with both one & two hands. I also love that it is non spill so it is easy to take with you or fir a child with a disability to take to school!

I'm sorry but I really don't like this cup. I found that my 13mth old worked out how to push down the plug and empty all contents on himself. Each time I tried it, I ended up with a ringing wet toddler. If you can get you toddler to use it properly then it's fantastic but as mine discovered how to get the water out, it just became a toy. It does however not leak when tipped upside down or thrown.

It is a great invention. It's very handy how it doesn't spill. But my bubs favourite cup at the moment is his sippy cup.

Initially the cup was easy to operate, easy to open, fill and close. My daughter found it easy to hold with the handles on either side. The downside is that when she goes to tip it over to drink, I think she tips it too far back and too much water comes out which falls all over her. I have also found that it still leaks. She tends to carry it around with her and I find water trails on the ground.

When I saw this product pop up on my screen I was so excited! As a mum of 2 boys, meal times are never clean and tidy and particularly with drinks, it all goes everywhere. I was keen to see how my 15 month old went with it. Conceptually it's amazing, although I struggled to understand the instructions to loosen it, and it ended up slightly disasterously, and he was covered in water. In saying that, I think I need to fiddle a little more to get it just right for my little one. I look forward to having a play and getting it right, because as I said, I think its a super clever idea!

I love avent stuff but my three year old son had one of these cups when he was a baby and he had trouble using it but I did find one a different brand for my daughter but I might buy avent cup to try with her

Fantastic product and wonderful idea but not suited to my child at his age.he couldn't quite figure it out but I think it will be good in a few months (he's 18 months) I love how they need to push it down for the water to come out, so they need to work for it and doesn't just come out everywhere
