Review on Munchkin Click Lock Weighted Straw Cup, 7 Ounce, Blue/Green, Pack Of 2 by Gina Putnam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best so far but not without issues

Like others have mentioned my LO took to this after trying dozens of other kinds of cups. The handles, the weight attached to straw, and good volume all are great. The click close is nice but only when it works. I got one that was never aligned properly and so I forced it and it leaked and then it was stuck and I couldn't get it unscrewed. Walmart offered me replacement right away so that was good, but it took a while for me to figure it was same one giving me problems. Also I think one of the main issues is that the cleaning wire that it comes with is not long enough and not sturdy enough. If it was a true stiff wire that was just a little longer it would be so much easier to clean the straw. The one it comes with is too bendy and becomes unyielding when pushing through the straw. Also the top of the cleaning wire where the bristles are, comes off if you pull it out of the straw. If it was just a little longer I could just push it all the way through the straw and come out the other end. This would ensure the entire length of the straw is clean but also wouldn't then break the bristles off mid straw. For me I tried all the cheaper alternatives first and have ended up with 7 of these now beacuse I can't clean these every day and they are all my kid uses!

Pros
  • Encourages toddlers to drink more water and stay hydrated.
Cons
  • The straw may not be pliable enough for some children to manipulate comfortably
