At a glance:
The cup is a great weaning product for baby thanks to the beautifully soft silicone spout for sensitive mouths and the product is easy to wash thanks to the removable handles. The OXO cup is lightweight and doesn’t leak, plus it’s microwave and dishwasher safe, but it can be hard to clean under the spout.
What they say:
"The Soft Spout Sippy Cup has a unique, almond-shaped spout that opens easily as soon as your little one’s lips touch it, and is specially designed to make it an easy transition from bottles or breast feeding. The sturdy cap covers the silicone spout to keep it clean in bags, and prevents leaking. Removable handles allow your little one to easily grip the cup."

Would you recommend this OXO cup to other mums?
I would recommend this to a friend – it’s stylish with a simple yet attractive design and it is very compact to carry around with you. I like the fact that the lid is attached, as I am constantly searching for the right lid to each bottle. Lastly, I think the price point is pretty good!
How did this product make your life easier?
This is a great little cup, it’s funky, a handy size and hygienic to drink out and about. The cup is easy to assemble and disassemble for washing as well. I have had lots of cups for my three children and I think this is one of my favourite toddler cups!
Would you choose this product to win?
Yes, I would choose this cup above others on the market. I've always liked the OXO brand because I think they value high quality items. This cup has so many great features and, in my view, should win!
What changes would you make to this product?
Initially my little girl was not impressed by the attached lid that flopped down into her face when she was drinking, but that no longer seems to be an issue and now I feel the attached lid is its major strength.

Would you recommend this OXO Cup to other mums?
Yes, I would recommend this cup to other mums. I love the design, the quality of the materials, the attached lid, the removable handles and the look of the product. I would only warn other mums about cleaning the underneath of the spout - you need to be careful, even with the narrow end of a bottle brush, as there are corners that milk or germs can get stuck. But the cup is still very handy and I really do love it.
How did this product make your life easier?
I love the attached lid - it makes the cup so quick and easy to use, and my little one can't lose it! Super hygienic too for in the changing bag. The removable handles make the bottle part easy to clean and it’s a practical product as it is both microwave and dishwasher safe.
Would you choose this product to win?
This is definitely the best designed bottle we have used; the plastic is amazing quality, the attached lid is well thought-out and the shape of the bottle makes it easy for my little one to hold. The spout is also a nice almond shape for little mouths.
What changes would you make to this product?
The bottle is easy to wash, apart from the underneath of the soft spout as I mentioned earlier. I spend more time cleaning this part as I worry that milk or germs have got stuck in it. Therefore, it could be designed a little better with regards to this issue.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
Yes, I would recommend the OXO Tot Sippy Cup to fellow mums. The cup is nice and lightweight for the changing bag and I love the silicon spout for my baby’s sensitive gums. However, it is complicated to put back together after washing and I wouldn't say the spout cover is completely hygienic. I’m in two minds.
How did this product make your life easier?
It has a closable lid for travelling which is really handy to avoid leaks in the changing bag. I also particularly like the soft silicon spout which helps when my baby is teething, to ensure he still wants to drink without having to exert himself too much. The cup is lighter than some of the others on the market which makes it easier for him to lift too.
Would you choose this product to win?
Potentially not, as we use a variety of other cups and this isn't my favourite, just because I find it difficult to clean.
What changes would you make to this product?
I think there should be a cover that covers the whole of the cup, not just the spout. This would improve cleanliness.
Tested by mum Rebekah Fox for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would definitely recommend this product to a fellow mum! It’s been a lovely cup to test. We love the design and it’s been easy for my little one to hold and drink out of. It’s simple to put together and has been easy to take apart to clean as and when needed.
How did this product make your life easier?
I have really enjoyed testing this product. Now my little one is having less milk and more water, it’s been a good transition cup to use at lunch and dinner times. Also, amazingly, it never leaked in my bag!
Would you choose this product to win?
Yes, there are so many different cups on the market now but I really like the style and the packaging of this one. It’s nice and stylish and something I would pick up myself. The colour is nice and subtle, not at all garish like some other products. Then on top of all that, it doesn’t leak, which is a huge bonus.
What changes would you make to this product?
Nothing, I love this product!
Tested by mum Suzanne England for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this product to my friends because it doesn’t leak, holds a fair amount of water and it's sturdy and good quality. My daughter took to using it straight away and although she’s thrown it to the floor several times, it still looks as good as new.
How did this product make your life easier?
This cup is non-spill and definitely doesn't leak - I have popped it in the changing bag and found it upside down several times with everything still intact! My daughter likes to tip her water all over the place at meal times, but she can’t with this cup and that means less soggy meals and less cleaning up for me!
Would you choose this product to win?
I feel like I have tried all the cups available, as a mummy of two and a childminder. What I like about this one is that it looks different, visually, to others on the shelf. Very chic but also practical. Looking at the price, I might have been put off buying it before, but now that I have tried it I would definitely buy it myself!
What changes would you make to this product?
Nothing at all – this is a fab product.
