Do straws that come with toddler cups fall through the openings? I have a basket already but the straws fall through the holes.

Not in my experience. I suppose it would depend on the straw. The gaps in this basket are not very wide.

Thin straws can but sipper cups should be fine. I honestly think putting straws in boiling water is better... and easier. :)

Yes the smaller straws do fall through the holes if the basket isn't completely full of other things. But I have found the insides of the straws do not get very clean. SO, I only use my basket for lids, small toys, and things like that.

Yes, they do. The little cup is designed to fit into the opening of the bottle, and the white ring and nipple twist directly on as usual, holding the cup in place. They are great, I use them all the time; for keeping a bottle ready next to the bed at night, and for the diaper bag. Be careful with the airtight lid that goes in the cup, it's a very tight fit and can sometimes be tricky to remove without formula going everywhere. Hope this helps!

No straw and the spout opening mechanism is a little tough to maneuver at first, but has gotten easier with use. My 4 year old is able to work it, but my 2 year can't.

yeah if you shake them up side down they will leak but my kids dont shake there cups upside down so i didnt see that as an issue for me. but any sippy cup will do that. there really is no such thing as a 100 percent free leak cup i wish there was.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck!

No, it is a very thin padding pulled tight. My two year old does not have any issues with his cups or toys falling over.

Yes, you can put a straw through the hole in the lid, not a fat straw, but regular size straws should fit with no probem. The opening is a kind of half-moon shape, flat on the part that is closest to your mouth and rounded at the top part.

I wouldn't say "pour out" but yes, they will fall out somewhat. Our granddaughter has all kinds of toys in it including balls and they stay in pretty well. Its an awesome toy! I highly recommend it.

It's easy to pull the straw out but I have had 3 year olds using them and they never pull the straws out.

We only ever use the straw valve and the straw, but I only give my daughter water in these so I don't worry too much about leaking. They will leak out if tipped upside down, but I still really love these sippy cups and we never leave the house without one.

The straw is open but it requires the child to pull like any other straw. The cup is nice my only complaint is that my son usually prefers to drink from the bottom of the cup lol, and once the cup is open and the straw exposed the liquid usually falls out. But the cup is very strong and there's a place for adults to press if the child is unable to pull properly from the straw. Hope this helps.

That is exactly what they are. The two I got have a slot on the side of the lid with a tiny little vent hole on the other side. It's big enough for a straw, but small enough that you don't dribble if you drink directly from the cup.

There is one for each cup. Just a word of advice. Don't put the straw in the lid before putting the lid on the cup. It forms a very tight seal and a shot of liquid will be forced up the straw and squirt out. (Of course, the kid thinks this is great!) A work-around would be to pull the straw out just far enough so that the bottom of the straw will be above the liquid when you put the top on.

Reuseable straws are a bit thicker than disposable and slightly less flexible (to smush into shape), so I do not think the reuseable ones would fit well in the opening.

Snap ons. They come off fairly easily and the cups are not actually water tight if they fall on their side. They are great for my older kids (5 and 7), but I'm not sure they would fill the tippy cup requirement for younger ones.

I've called Zoli Baby and pointed out this very thing. Their only response is that they only carry the straws for the 9oz cups but that "They can be used for any size cup" they carry. What helps us is I have my child turn the cup 180 degrees at the end. A pain though...

Mine came with a silicone straw that fit the hole perfectly. Amazon sells those straws in a variety pack. I didn't care for the silicone so I get a long plastic straw from my local convenience store made for their 32 oz drinks. It works PERFECT with this cup. I just wash it daily & replace it when it gets broken. It keeps my drinks cold ALL day long so a LOT LESS WASTE!!! A huge plus for me has been that the manager of my local convenience store allows me to fill it for free because I've become such a regular customer & I'm not using their supplies!!!
