Playtex First Little Gripper Cup {Review & Giveaway}

By

 

So your baby is ready to transition to a sippy cup, but you have no idea which sippy to go with.  No worries Mama!  Playtex has you covered.

The First Lil’ Gripper™ Straw Trainer Cup is the ideal cup for babies transitioning from bottles to cups. As the first squeezable straw trainer cup on the market, this easy-to-use cup was designed by a child development expert to help moms teach their babies how to suck and drink from a straw. Since it’s a skill that many infants already possess, the natural motion of drinking from a straw serves as an easy transition for an infant after coming off of the bottle.

Playtex and Dr. Bill Sears teamed up to create 8 great tips for any mom to check out when thinking about transitioning to a Sippy Cup.

I wish we had this sippy cup earlier.  It took Squishy a bit to figure out how to use a straw, and I think the Squeezable Feature would have made things a whole lot easier for him.

He still enjoyed using this cup.  I loved how it didn’t leak, which is great when you have a toddler who loves to throw things at random moments!

What makes this so unique is the Squeezable Feature.

 

 

 

Squeezing Feature:

  • This sturdy cup can be squeezed by an adult to help push the liquid up, allowing the child to learn to suck the liquid more easily
  • The squeezing feature is such that a parent can squeeze, but a child could not easily do so. This makes it easier for children to learn how straws work and for moms to track a child’s development.

Some other great features include:

Easy to Use:

  • Simple for a child to drink from, while allowing Mom to easily train and track her child’s development.
  • Ergonomically designed with easy grip handles for little hand.
  • Equipped with our Twist ‘n Click leak-proof seal technology, which provides spill-proof guaranteed protection.
  • Features a slider to keep the straw clean when not in use.

Other Benefits:

  • 100% spill-proof, leak-proof, break-proof guarantee
  • Easy cleaning
  • Dishwasher safe
  • BPA Free and Phthalate Free
  • Interchangeable lid
  • Fun, vibrant colors without decorations for boys and girls (purple, blue, green and pink)

Where to Buy:
The First Lil’ Gripper™ Straw Trainer Cup is available for $5.99 at mass market retailers including Babies ‘R Us, Target and Walmart.

    With C we introduced a straw before a regular cup to help with his tongue tie issue. He started learning at about 10 months. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Our 14 month old drinks from a sippy cup but hasn’t mastered a straw. This sippy cup seems a perfect trainer for drinking from a straw.

    My son didn’t start using a straw sippy cup until almost 18 months old – now he loves them so he would love this! I’m also an email subscriber

    I actually tried to teach my 13 mth old to use a straw today, she kept tilting the cup above her head and it made her very frustrated that nothing came out:( We will continue to work on it! sheshult@Hotmail.com

    We are working on transitioning Carter now but it’s tough because of his oral aversion issues. It’s recommended that we skip the sippy all together and just go for a straw or open cup so this would be a wonderful thing for us to have 🙂
