Nuby No-Spill Cups

We purchased the Nuby No-Spill Cups 6m+ Super Spout Easy Grip.

We shopped at Target and while there were many to choose from when it came to soft top transition cups, there were just a few so we went with the Nuby brand. We purchased a double pack for $6.99.
I chose this particular cup for the following reasons;
Soft top
Two Handles
BPA free
Built in Valve (cup is 3 pieces total)
6m+
and the least important but always nice if it works, boyish colors

Our first attempt went well, he was able to handle the cup easily because of the dual handles and he went right for the spout and started chewing. Once he started chomping down he discovered that there was water in there and started sipping away. Great! I loved the fact that teething on the spout lead to sipping.

OK, so the sippy cup is doing it's job and we are thrilled. Now it's time to take it apart, clean it, and put it back together. The cup cleaned up nice but it started leaking at the next use. This was very aggravating. We had three adults in the house and we all took turns unscrewing the lid and screwing it back on since the leak was coming from the threaded part. Sometimes it leaked and sometimes it didn't. I called the costumer service number and left a message with my information just in case this ended up in disaster but in the mean time I wanted to keep trying. I'm not ready to call it quits just yet, I had high hopes for this cup.

After spending way too much time on a sippy cup lid I discovered the following. You MUST thread the lid on perfectly and tighten to an extreme to avoid leaking. In order to do this the cup needs to be dry on the outside so you can get a good grip on the bottom since the dual handles get in the way of gripping the actual cup (the handles are on the lid). This is not at all convenient especially on a hot day with cold water and condensation. So I figured out how to get it not to leak but my husband is annoyed and won't be bothered with it, I don't blame him.

Let me go back to the costumer service call I placed.... NO RESPONSE! I didn't bother with an email after that because I just don't have time and I know other mommies understand this.

Overall I give this cup a 3 out of 5 for the following reasons;

The good
Taught him how to use a sippy
Dual Handles
Boyish colors

The bad
Leaks when not threaded perfectly and that takes too much time for a busy mom
Costumer service
