It's going to get thrown — off the high chair, across the kitchen, into the side of the stroller. That's the design brief. A silicone straw cup in Alligator — solid sage green with a pale mint lid and a small gator slider riding the straw. The soft silicone straw supports baby-led weaning, and the cup works with or without it — so it doubles as an open training cup that supports healthy oral and speech development. Named Best Silicone Baby Tableware by Mothers Always Right (2026). The size. It measures 2.7 × 2.7 × 3.3 in, holds 5.2 fl oz (150 ml), and weighs 4.4 oz (125 g) — sized for toddler hands, not a commuter mug. Sizing and material. Holds 5.2 fl oz (150 ml). LFGB-certified food-grade silicone cup, lid, and straw, with a straw-cleaning brush included. Dishwasher safe, top rack. Microwave safe. Common questions What age do I introduce it? Most pediatricians say 6–9 months. Some kids take to the straw on day one; others need a week of you demonstrating it, which feels as ridiculous as it sounds. Straw cup or sippy cup? Most guidance has shifted toward straws — the motion to draw liquid up a straw is closer to open-cup drinking than the bottle-like suck of a sippy spout. Can my toddler use it without the straw? Yes — the cup is designed to work both ways, and open-cup drinking supports oral and speech development. Where it sits in the transition. Introduce it around 6–9 months alongside the bottle. By a year it's the main daytime cup; open cups and their spills start at the table around 12 months. The straw cup is the calm middle stretch between those two messes.
