EcoVessel Sippy Kids Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Purchased this 2.5 years ago for my then 9 month old as a way to transition from a bottle.Pros: Sturdy Stainless Steel. It's been dropped several times and just has a small crack without affecting the leak-proof-ness.Cons: My daughter would pull the rubber bottom off (until it got lost) with her tiny teeth and proceed to scratch off the pink paint. I had to stop using it until her "mouthing phase" passed.The handles are fixed so you have to put on the nipple just right in the lid, in order to make sure its all lined up correctly after you screw it on.My biggest annoyance is the peeling paint.Also it would be nice if one could "upgrade" the bottle with a flip straw top. My daughter is 3 and passed the nipple spout phase.

Keeps drinks hot or cold for a long time even in the hot car. Daughter likes the soft spout. Only thing that is slightly annoying but not a big deal is that because the handles remain in place, you have to unscrew the lid and twist the nipple to line it up correctly

Does not keep liquids as cold or as long as advertised. I was disappointed. I put very cold water (from frig) in cup and 3 hours later the water was room temperature. The ad does not state that ice has to be added even if the liquid is cold. I wanted this cup to keep milk (without ice) cold for a few hours and it failed. Water with ice didn't stay cold as long (as advertised) either. I tested this cup with cold liquids straight from the refrigerator, followed all directions and sat it on the counter of a 70 degree kitchen. The only thing, I liked, was the handle made it easy to hold.

I love this insulated sippy cup BUT there is one major flaw! I bought three of them and the lids have broken on all three of them. Twice my son dropped it (one from a high chair and the other just from his height (13 mo's)). I emailed the company and they sent a replacement lid. The FIRST TIME I went to screw it on it cracked and broke. They are such a sturdy product... Why is there not rubber around the plastic edge of the top like they have on the bottom. You can't just buy the lids either. Other than the faulty tops I absolutely love this product!

This cup is amazing - it was the key to transitioning my toddler off of bottles. She loves owls, so that helps, but it has the "feel" of a bottle with the shape of the sippy cup. It doesn't leak, even when upside down (and we give her her milk during the bedtime diaper change and pajama wrangling, so she's on her back). Yes, like others have said, the one annoying thing is having to kind of mess with the nipple positioning when screwing on the cap so it matches up with the handles, but I consider this to be a very small price to pay for an otherwise excellent product. And it's insulated! Easy to clean, cute, and super useful. I haven't noticed the smell around the rim as others have. I don't usually let it sit, though, not sure if that makes a difference. I have gone through pretty much every style of sippy cup trying to get one my daughter we'll take, and this wins hands down.

Great cup...I like that the mouth is wide enough to clean inside. The only thing that is a little annoying is that you have to make sure the "nipple" part is lined up correctly when you put it in so your baby can drink straight (hard to explain, but if you own this cup you know what I mean). As there is no indicator or mark to make sure it is put in right I often have to put it in after washing, screw it on, take it back off and repeat til I get it right.

Good cup for traveling and the handles are nice because of the cold stainless steel body. Easy to clean and put the lid together. Haven't had problems leaking. The travel lid is fine but not meant to stop leaks if upside down in a bag. Keeps drinks relatively cold but not meant to be a thermal cup. Works well for every day use.

So far this is a total winner. The cup is dropped regularly and I haven't noticed any dents or spills. My guy is only 11 months but does well drinking from it, even when totally full and heavy. I don't have an issue with screwing the top on and getting the mouth piece in the right place as some other reviews noted. You can hold the plastic piece while screwing the top on and it keeps it in place.
