Trainer Cup with Straw\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft silicone straw cup designed to help little ones move on from the bottle or breast and start practising with a cup. A clever two-piece valve lets liquid flow through the straw when your baby draws on it, so early sippers can get to their water or milk without much effort — making it a useful first cup for the stage where drinking skills are still developing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this trainer cup apart is its convertible, two-in-one design: it works as a lidded straw cup and, once the lid comes off, as an open cup, so it can grow with your child as their drinking changes. Made from 100% food-grade silicone in a pastel teal with a two-tone contrast, it's gentle on delicate gums, soft enough for small hands to grip, and sturdy enough to stand up to a bit of squeezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for the bottle-to-cup transition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lightly weighted base helps keep the cup steady and is designed to reduce tipping during those first wobbly sips. The lid fits snugly so it's removable by a grown-up rather than baby, which keeps sipping splash-free while it's on. It's versatile too — handy as a snack cup as well as a sippy cup — and holds 118 ml (4 oz), a practical size for water or milk on the go or at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-piece valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e The valve in the straw lets liquid flow through easily when your baby wants to drink, so it doesn't take a lot of suction effort to get started.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConvertible design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used with the lid and straw it's a free-flow straw cup; with the lid removed it becomes an open cup, letting you follow your child's pace as they progress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeighted base:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lightly weighted bottom lowers the cup's centre of gravity, which helps it stay upright and cuts down on tipping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cup is made from soft, 100% food-grade silicone and is free of BPA, BPS and PVC.
