Playtex the First Lil' Gripper Straw Trainer Cup: review and giveaway

There are many milestones in a child's life. The first steps, the first words and ditching the bottle for a big kid cup.

Playtex understands that this transition from bottle to cup can be difficult. That's why Playtex has designed the Lil' Gripper Straw Trainer Cup to help make this change easier for you and your child.

The Lil' Gripper Trainer Cup is designed with a child development expert to help moms teach their babies how to suck and drink from a straw. The natural motion of drinking from a straw serves as an easy transition from using a bottle.

What makes the Lil' Gripper Straw Trainer Cup unique is that an adult can assist the child drinking by squeezing the cup. Although a parent can squeeze the cup and push the liquid up, it's not easy enough for a child to do so.


Other features include:
  • Ergonomically designed grip handles for little hands
  • Twist and click leak proof guaranteed seal technology
  • Slider, which keeps the straw clean when not in use
  • Dishwasher safe
  • BPA free and Phyhalate free
  • Interchangeable lid
  • Comes in various colors purple blue green and pink

The First Lil' Gripper Straw Trainer Cup is available at numerous retailers including Babies R Us, Target, Kroger and Walmart.

Playtex has given me a First Lil' Gripper Trainer Straw Cup to give away to one of my readers.

    Lots of patience and just keep trying, by bringing a cup out once a day at first, then a couple of times a day so neither parent or child gets frustrated. Making a game out of it, first you drink out of your cup then they try (with your help). :-) creedamy at yahoo [dot]com

    We've just used sippy cups that don't spill and haven't had too much of a problem.

    Start offering them the cup during mealtimes and gradually push a little more!

    my tip is to never start using a bottle for anything other than milk. When you start your baby on juice, thats when you start a cup. Then, once they are done with formula (or if they turn a year old) start putting milk in the sippy too and completely ditch the bottle.

    I think cups like this with straws a good way to teach kids to keep their cup upright and transition into using cups.

    My only tip is practice makes perfect. They will never get the use to drinking out of a cup until you let them. Just be prepared for messes ;)
