Weil Baby Drinking Cups Review

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 Leave a Comment

You guys know how important Sippy Cups are to me, right? I mean, there is nothing more aggravating than having my toddler's cup leak into the diaper bag, purse, or, better yet, all over the car seat.

I'm almost positive we've tried every drinking cup out there from the Nuby Flip-It Sports Sipper to the First Years Insulated Sipper with my 2 year old son. So, when we discovered the Weil Baby Drinking cup, I was most intrigued to see how it would work out for us.



About Weil Baby Products:

Weil Baby bottles and sippy cups feature the breakthrough AirWave one-piece venting system, which helps eliminate air bubbles ingested by babies and toddlers, reducing the risk of colic, gas and spit-up. The containers are made of both glass and Tritan, a remarkable clear material that contains no bisphenol A, commonly known as BPA, which may disrupt normal estrogenic activity. Extensive laboratory testing has shown that Tritan is completely EA-free, making the Weil Baby line ultra safe.

We had the opportunity to try the Weil Baby Tritan™ Drinking Cup and felt at ease knowing it is BPA free and sturdy as a rock! These are so uniquely designed to withstand even MY toddler's "Rough and Tumble" ways. It's no surprise because Weil Baby products are made, right here, in the USA. They meet a very high standard of quality, making products that meet control standards with lot-number traceability. Very rare!

What my son loves about the cups are the bright colors and the easy to hold handles. Toddlers are so rough and "fly by the seat of your pants" kinda children and need something to grab onto with their little hands. Weil Baby makes it easy for them to keep hold of their cup! I also love that they come with lids/tops. I cringe at the thought of leaving my son's cup in the diaper bag or purse. There is no telling what germs lie beneath and I feel secure knowing it's protected.

What we liked:

-Durable
-Easy Handle Grips
-BPA Free (yeah!)
-Bright/Fun Colors
-Comes with Lid
-Made in the USA

Momma Improvements:

-Price: We're a one income family of five. It's really hard for me to budget in $9.99+tax for one sippy cup. Understanding the quality of the product, makes me understand that it's worth the money for families on a bigger budget than my own.

-Soft Spout: This helps toddler transition from the bottle to the cup easily, however, since we are passed this stage it became a problem. You see, you have to hold your mouth a certain way (almost baby bottle like) to drink from the Tritan Cup. It was almost like pushing him BACK into baby-hood instead of transitioning him into toddlerhood. My 2-year-old has already mastered the sippy cup with a hard spout and does pretty well with regular cups.

All in all, a great line of products at Weil Baby. The Tritan cup wasn't perfect for our stage of toddlerhood, however, I can see it being perfect for younger children (12mo - 24 mo). Plus, Momma Findings is a BIG supporter of Made in the USA companies such as Label Daddy and now Weil Baby. What a perfect pair because we all understand the importance of labeling our sippy cups, especially if your child has allergies.

Buy It

Weil Baby Tritan Cups can be purchased at select Babies R Us stores and online at WeilBaby.com for the suggested retail price of $9.99. As budget savvy as I am, I've GOTTA let you guys know that you can print a $5.00 off a $15.00 purchase coupon when you visit the official Weil Baby website.

This post made possible by Weil Baby products who provided us with two Tritan Drinking Cups. Opinions here are solely my own and have not been wavered or compensated by the products I received.

    Thanks for the coupon! I have the Weil baby bottles, and they are great. Now, I’ll start buying the sippy cups. Ran across a video on Weil bottles that was interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVnizGkiuWY

    Chandelier, if you try 'em out, PLEASE come back and let us know what you think.

    Jamie, I loved these cups... just hated that my son was already passed the Newbie stage of sippy cups when we discovered them.

    Nicole, thanks for the video link! Definitely interesting!

    RECENTLY MY SON LOST HIS NUK LEARNER CUP HE LOVED SO MUCH. I DECIDED TO ORDER THE WEIL BABY TRAINING CUP SINCE WE READ ALOT OF GOOD REVIEWS FOR THEM AND BECUESE IT SEEMED TO RESEMBLE THE SAME LOOK OF THE NUK SOFT SPOUT BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT MY 11 MONTH OLD SON SEEMS TO BE HAVING A HARD TIME DRINKING FROM THIS TRAINER CUP I THINK ITS DUE TO THE TOP OF THE SPOUT BEING SO FLAT IN ON THE TOP OF THE SPOUT SO IT MAKES THE SCREW RING PRESS DOWN ON HIS NOSE MAKING IT HARD FOR HIM TO ALMOST CATCH HES BREATH. THINK I SHOULD HAVE WENT WITH THE THINK BABY TRAINER CUP INSTEAD SINCE WE ALREADY HAD THE BOTTLES.
