I worry about the cup breaking. My 11 month old drops everything on purpose. Anyone have experience with this cup being dropped multiple times? Thanks

My son has dropped them numerous times, and the bottle has passed the test consistently. The sippy cup cap though has not as it breaks with impact. We have put the bottle aside and will resume once he passes the "drops everything over the side" phase.

My toddler drops it all the time and so far so good - it's never broken. We've had it for over a year now.

My daughter thinks its hilarious to drop her sippy cup from her high chair onto our wood floor. So far it has not broken-- the silicone sleeve seems to protect it pretty well. I am not worried about it breaking in hand, but it could possibly break if dropped hard enough on the floor, but so far so good and we have been using those bottles since 4 months (now at 11 months).

The plastic sippy caps have broken (cracked) several times when my daughter dropped the sippy, but never the bottle itself.

I have had a bottle break when dropped from counter level (my fault) onto a porcelain tile floor, but the plastic cover keeps it from shattering everywhere. My son has dropped the bottles a few times, also on the tile floor and the bottles have not broken. It must depend on the way it is dropped. I would not say it's guaranteed that it will break if dropped, but it is glass and depending on the floor, angle and force it may. The plastic cover helps.

I first bought this for my 18 month old and after the second week she had already broke both sippy tops. Surprisingly, the bottle itself did not break. I have since ordered a new set of sippy tops and we just make it a rule not to leave her with the bottle. None of the tops have broke since. If you buy it for your little person do not leave it in their possession. Hope this helps.

I think it does, but the beauty is it doesn't spill (unless your child starts chewing on the nipple and it breaks). It's the only sippy cup my son would take. ONLY ONE.

No it doesnt leak, maybe a drop or 2, i have the same problem with my kids. It's a good cup for kids.

I have not had issues with straw leaks unless it's held upside down for an extended period of time. I have a hard time getting water out after a few sips, but my daughter will guzzle half the glass of water before coming up for air! I think it's because it's built for infant/toddler mouths, not adult mouths!

I have not had an issue with spills or leaking unless my daughter pinches the straw and turns the cup upside down, which she's only done once! Otherwise it's been really effective!

If you hold it upside down and shake it a lot it will leak, but we've had no problems with normal usage. If it falls over nothing comes out. You may get a drip or two if you hold it upside for an extended period of time, but I don't know for sure. We haven't had any problems with normal day to day usage and we've got 3 kids (age range of almost 2 to almost 6) and they each have one.

Yes but it is much easier to wash the lid than replace a cup because it broke. My kids have dropped theirs numerous times over the past 2 years (even chucked across the floor in a store during a tantrum!). They're scratched up but never cracked or broken! The designs have even stayed well through countless washings in dishwasher and dropping.

My bella is leaking making a mess into the base. Black smudge leaks into the cup. I'm ready to throw it out andwe've had it only about 6 weeks. Any help out there??

We've had no issues with that and we use the set quite often. My daughter just turned 4 and she has no problems pouring her own tea and playing hostess to others. We've never had any spills due to tipping cups.

Was there a waranty I didn't notice it's an $8 plastic cup the crackles you see are what happens to the glue they used to stick the two shells together. I'm still using the two cups I bought last year or so with these same cracks. As long as the seam doesn't start leaking water inbetween the two shells I would keep using it. They're still a good unbreakable insulating cup for hot liquids. (Bispiferol secretions in polypropylene plastics notwithstanding )

You actually don't want a sippy that would be very hard for a baby/ or child to get liquids from. The mouth does not need to learn to suck and this can be detrimental, if it's always the way he/ she is drinking. There is current research on this but it's a newer finding in the last couple of years. There are speech problems from them and palette formation issues. Experts now suggest they only be used during a transition period between bottle and cup. It may be worth it to keep those kids carpets around until they're old enough to use cups without frequent spills.

No, it is a very thin padding pulled tight. My two year old does not have any issues with his cups or toys falling over.

You're referring to the travel plug which is included with the cup. I haven't used the travel plug at all. My son drinks all day long, so I don't worry about it. If you leave the cup alone for a while, and it's full, the liquid will rise through the straw and may leak onto the table/floor, etc. whenever I see that happening, I sip from his cup and it's a non-issue.

My daughter was pretty rough with ours and never knocked it over. You will have more problems with it leaking. We had ours 2 months and had to patch it so many times, we returned it. Hope this helps.

yeah if you shake them up side down they will leak but my kids dont shake there cups upside down so i didnt see that as an issue for me. but any sippy cup will do that. there really is no such thing as a 100 percent free leak cup i wish there was.

It's fairly easy to clean. The straw part detaches so that you can run water through it. We just throw the parts in the dish washer and it's fine. Our problem with the product is that our 9 month old twins are a bit brutal. When they bang the cups on their highchair trays, the bottom parts break off. And the constant dropping is not good for the straw cover either. We've already gone through two training cups.

I haven't dropped my mug, yet....my husband says he thinks it is stainless covered with some type of epoxy, something that is insulating. I tried scratching it....it will scratch...I used a bottle opener....but it does not look as if it will chip...hope this was helpful....I recommend this thermos cup.
