No More Mess! Baby Björn Debuts New Spill-Proof Cup

Courtesy of BabyBjörn

Dining with little ones can be messy, especially when they start drinking from an open-top cup.

That’s why we’re loving Baby Björn‘s My First Cup ($15).

Created for babies 8 months old and up, it’s designed with a wide base that’s rimmed with rubber so it’s hard to tip over and it has an ergonomic shape that’s easy for mini hands to grip.

It’s also made with durable plastics that are BPA- and phthalate-free.

All in all, it makes for a cleaner and easier introduction to cups.

Though, with baby at the table, there’s still no guarantee there won’t be some mess at dinnertime!

How can any open top cup, sippy or otherwise, be classified as “spill-proof”? If anyone knows where I can get a truly spill-proof open top cup, please let me know. My husband could really use one for his beer that gets spilled every Saturday during college football season!

@JHB That’s awesome!!!

I’m with you! Even the cups with lids aren’t spill proof!

All I thought about when I looked at the ad was the kid about to choke on celery. Who gives a kid that age celery sticks?

Yeah any open top cup is not “spill proof”! Anyone ever hear of picking it up and dumping it out? Maybe its knock over resistant but kids are better at spilling than you may realize. Also at $15 there is no way this will be in my home. I don’t like spending $6 for two playtex cups with valves!
