What ages would you suggest using this cup for? Would a one year old (most likely) have success using it?

Yes. My son has had them since he was about 10 months. If they drink from a straw well, it should work. If not, they have a sippy cup silicone attachment that you can use too. I'll have to warn you that these are NOT leak-proof, so I would just stick with water to easier deal with spills. Hope that helps!

There is no vent hole in this cup. Meaning your baby will have to open his/her mouth to allow air back into the cup otherwise the baby will no longer able to suck the milf/juice from the cup. Also, it is not insulated either. So for cold liquid, water will condense on the outside of the cup.The sleeve around the cup will loosen in time after a few washing cycle in the dish washer.... I don't recommend this cup. I won't buy this if I have a chance to do it again.

I gave it to my 8 month old and she was able to figure it out. I think a 1 year old would be fine! I started her without the straw so she would know to sip it like a bottle and once she realized that she could sip it without leaning back, using it with the straw works great!

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

Not sure exactly what you want to know, but if you're looking for something that they can squish around in their fingers and if it accidentally gets in their mouth...it's not a major freak out session moment....then, yeah...this would be ok. But honestly, I wouldn't really buy it for a one year old as a toy. It's more something for an older child that would actually want to make something out of it (same as you would with Play-doh). Hope that helps!

I think you can. Probably she may not be able to do it right till a little older. But it can be used as starter cup. Great for learning. My girl started at about 1 year plus. I think you can start at any age depending on what makes you comfortable.

Thank you for your question. The 7 oz. Born Free Training Cup is recommended for age 6 months +.

My son started using them around 10-11 months and still occasionally uses them now at 16 months. It was a nice transition from bottle nipple to sippy cup. Most of the sippy cups have the hard spout and my son couldn't pull the fluid out until he was over a year. Hope that helps.P.S. Be careful because while teething my son bit through the holes in the top and the bottles started leaking. We bought replacement nipples but he just did it again :)

My little girl started using this cup at 8-9 months old and it really helped her learn how to use a straw. I would just be careful if your child is teething that he/she doesn't bite off a piece of the straw.

I put my 1 year old in it. He loves it. It's a smooth ride. I think a 7-9 month old would be fine.

It is as an excellent cup. My 10 month old is BF and bottle fed and he quickly started using it with my assistance. He holds it himself and can drink from it but can be a little messy without assistance since he is still developing his fine motor skills. I know all babies develop at different rates. For us it worked. I am really pleased with the cup. Hope that helps. Good luck.

I think a one year old might enjoy the sounds and the mashing of the keyboard. The games may be a little too much for a one year old to understand. You would definately have to assist them

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.

I don't remember what age I gave it to my son, but I think it is a good "first" cup. Mine didn't leak, so that's very helpful for containing a mess and making it more likely that you will let him play with it and use it more often. The straw top is closed and has slits that allow liquid to come through when your baby takes a sip; at the same time, your baby doesn't have to sip too hard to get some liquid out. It's got a narrow body that can feel like bottle (if you don't use the handles).

I don't think it will work on a one year old...the head pillow is small and my three month old is already growing out of it already.

These particular cups start at 12 months but my son started using them at about 9 months

It's probably meant to be theFirst step in "losing" the bottle so around 1 year. I got itFor my grandson, who is three and autistic. His parents are having a hard time making the transition from bottles to cups and this seems to be doing the trick. I would recommend to any parent as a first step!

It wasn't fast enough for my son when he was ~15 months. That lead to him gulping air and throwing up the few times we tried to use this bottle. We scrapped it and got the Nuby 10 oz. no spill sippy cup. We still use that for his milk cup without any issues.

Yes you can. If your baby can use a straw they are able to use this cup. My daughter started using these around 10 months old.

It works great for a 1-2 year old. Anything older and it might be too small (I'm having to upgrade this year)
