Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I would most definitely recommend this product. Over the past 9 months I have tried many cups and sippy cups to get my son to drink more fluids. However, after trying endless cups we've had great success with this, it's fantastic! Admittedly it did take a little while for him to get use to the cup and for the first ten minutes he pulled the lid and turned the cup around in search for a spout! Once he grasped how to use it, he was away. He seemed to drink his usual daily intake in one gulp! The design of this cup is amazing. It looks like an adult no lid cup but it's non spill and 100% leak proof.
Another great feature of the Munchkin Miracle 360° Trainer Cup is that my son can drink anywhere around the rim. The valve reseals as soon as my son stops drinking. There's no lid to clip down after drinking which means it's not only a fantastic product for around the home but more importantly, on car journeys. We have been known to have to change my son after a car journey because of his sippy cups leaking onto his clothes either through him resting the cup upside down or through him shaking the contents on to his lap. This cup does not allow him to do that. I love that this cup does not have a spout. This is undoubtedly better for my son's teeth. This cup is easy to clean and dismantles to only a couple of parts so fortunately, it is not difficult to put back together. The cup is made from strong plastic with a soft silicone valve. It's big enough to fit a reasonable amount of fluid inside without being too big to fit in my handbag. The price is comparable with other cups on the market but this is by far the best cup available. For the next baby, I would go straight to this cup, it's fantastic. It comes in two designs, one with handles and one without which means it can be used as your baby's first cup from 6 months.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
This product makes Mums life easier because it's a no spout cup which teaches your child to drink out of an adult cup but with no leaks or spills along the way. It comes in two designs, one with handles and one without to make the transition in two stages should you wish.

Thank you for designing this product, I will be recommending this cup to all of my friends. The only reason I marked it down one point is because I thought the instructions on the packaging could have been a little more detailed. It doesn't explain clearly the great things it does. It took me a few minutes to establish how the cup worked.

Love the Munchkin Miracle 360° Trainer Cup. Great idea, really different. At first I did wonder if my little one would get the hang of how to drink from it but they soon realised how it worked. It's easy to transport with no spills. It is also great for teeth and to get little ones used to using a proper cup.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The Munchkin Miracle 360° Trainer Cup is easy to use whilst out and about. My little girl Can have a drink in the car or buggy without tipping it all over her!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Possibly more choice in design like the rest of the munchkin range. That said the colours are good.

A trainer cup with no spillages?! This product is amazing, brilliant, so easy for any age to drink from but a great training cup to use from a young age for baby to adapt from suckling to drinking. This cup has been dropped, bashed, hit and bitten on numerous occasions and still it remains as good as it did when it came out of the packaging. The handles make it easily attached to the drink's pocket on my change bag and easy for baby to hold.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It gives mums peace of mind in that this cup will remain watertight which makes it brilliant for taking with Children to bed or in the car etc. I've not had to worry about the cup being dropped & spilled.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
For adults the handles get in the way making it quite hard to un-do, which is obviously what makes it so good at being watertight, but when you’re trying to re-fill & having a whining child, it becomes a huge task to undertake, and seems to take ages.

Fantastic design, my little one took to the Munchkin Miracle 360° Trainer Cup straight away. Love how there is no spout to rely on it is simply like drinking from a normal open top beaker without the mess. Its easy to assemble and clean and is suitable for any liquid i.e milk or water. The one issue we have found with the beaker is when we put warm milk into the beaker the seal does not remain non spill and the liquid flows out freely.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Easy to clean, non spill for cold liquids. Great it has no spout and child can drink from any direction.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The ability to place warm drinks in the cup.
