What age do you think a toddler can start using this cup?

My kid started using them right around her second birthday. I own three of these cups now, by the way, and have never had any trouble with them. Great product.

My Daughter started using them at about 14 mos. We have 6, her grandparents each have 1. Wouldn't buy another bottle, these are amazing.

Our little grandson started using his at 5 months, but I think he is more interested in it and can sit up well enough at 6 months to really enjoy it. I would say that 6 months would be a good age (depending on the development of the child) to introduce this product.

I think it is too big for a two year old. My 4 year old uses it everyday! She is 104 cms. tall. I think it could be used up to 5 years old, easily.

My toddler is two years old he can't open it he's not strong enough. My other son was 4 1/2 years old when we bought it and he was able to open it.

We bought this initially when our son was about 18 months, but now he is three and is still using it, and our one-year-old can climb into it as well. I would guess that we will be able to use it till about age four or five.

Christmas present? I use it in therapy (I am a speech pathologist) with kids as young as 3, but I think you could use it with 2 year olds. 18 months might be a bit young as they may just want to put it in their mouths. It depends on the kid though. If you think the kid is really sharp then try it. If the child will be monitored while they play (you faciltate it) they may have fun with it, but 18 month olds don't really get the concept of toppings yet. So to sum up, I would wait until they are a bit older. Up to you.

My child started using this cup at 13 mos. old and he took to it very easily.

I'd say 6 months to 2 years, maybe even all toddlers. If they can push a button and hold the handle they'd love it.

The cups are semi rigid. It's possible to squeeze them slightly but it would be very difficult for a toddler, and wouldn't be an effective way for them to drink.

We started using it at 6 months and will probably be using this as long as we need to use a sippy cup.

This would work well for a child that age. You likely will have to assist with opening/closing the lid, but your little one should be able to use the straw well. So far this has been the best product we have found for not leaking.

My son learned to drink from the straw (he skipped the sippy feature all together) when he started solids at 6 months old. It took him a couple days, but he figured it out.

My daughter started using these at around 10 months and still uses them at 17 months. I love the size (smaller than a lot of cups) because she doesn't drink large quantities.

I strongly recommend weening the use of these by age two at the most (especially if your child is a picky eater or has trouble speaking). We love these bottles but it turns out if you talk to speech pathologists, children should stop using these types of bottles even before age two. They have to correct their swallowing pattern. When I have another child, I will use these bottles again but I will switch to straw and then to hard spout and then to full open cups much sooner.

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!
