The Race of The Sippy/Straw Cup…Who Will Win?

Baby D is at the age now to start working with sippy cups and eventually away from the bottle.  We received one sippy cup at our baby shower and I purchased the rest in the last couple of months.  We gave baby D a cup with some water in it at either lunch or dinner for the last month or two and allowed him to choose which cup he likes best (as if he didn't have a choice!).

The Contenders:

First Up: Take and Toss Sippy Cup

This sippy cup is nice as it is inexpensive and comes with 4 cups, 4 lids, and a handle.  The cups are lightweight and come in a variety of colors.  They do not come with a lid and the handles can be a pain to attach to the cup.  The handle snaps onto the lid.  Here's a view with all the pieces:

Cup #2: Take and Toss Straw Cup

Like the Take and Toss Sippy Cup, the straw cup is inexpensive and come 4 to a package.  The straw cups come with 4 cups, 4 lids, 4 straws, and handles.  The cups are just like the sippy in that they are lightweight and come in different colors.  The handles attach the same way the sippy cup does as that it snaps onto the lid which can be a pain.  The straw is a hard plastic straw.  Here are the pieces:

Cup #3: Dr. Brown's Sippy Cup

This cup we received as a gift so I'm not sure of the retail value.  It comes with a hard plastic lid, sippy lid, sippy insert, handles, and cup.  The sippy is a hard spout and has an insert to make it more leak less I suppose.  It also makes it harder to sip through.  For a beginner, I didn't use the insert which made it a basic sippy cup.  The handles just sit on the rim of the cup and move around easily.  The lid is kind of tough to attach.  The was the first and only time I attached the lid was for the picture.  Here are the pieces:

Last, but not least: Zolibot

The Zoli cup I believe is the priciest of the four cups.  It's also probably the heaviest.  It has a sliding lid, handles, weighted silicone straw, and cup.  The handles are attached to the lid.  The straw is also attached.  The straw is really nice as it is soft and bendable so that baby D can hold the cup wherever and be able to drink.  The weighted portion is nice to get the liquid at the bottom.  The pieces are below:

So which cup won?  The Zoli is a winner for my mommy and baby.  Baby D has only drunk out of the Zoli out of all the cups which is great since it's a straw cup and better for his teeth.  Mommy also loves this cup as there are fewer parts and easy to take care of.
