Does the sippy spout vent? Wondering if air builds up or if toddler can sip on that spout similar to a bottle nipple?

Yes it vents but in my opinion, not well. When my son drinks, the spout inverts and then it sucks back through the hole and falls in the bottle. I am not sure why it does that. We have tried other nipples and they work fine.

Yes, it's vented. There are small indentations (3) on the sides of the spout. Other than the shape of the spout, it is quite like a bottle nipple. Flow is faster than a bottle but it is valved so water doesn't just pour out of the spout, suction has to be applied.

No. They don't! :) These are the best I have found by far. Sometimes it is tough for air to get back in and you need to squeeze the nipple.

No spout. You unscrew the entire cap. I bought 2 they are a great bottle. Hope this helps! Get outdoors!

The flow is similar to the regular nipple for this bottle, as another mentioned...it does tend to increase over time with use. I've notice two basic sippy cup "differentials: those with no "regulator" insert/diaphragm (like this one) and those with an insert (such as the Joovy Dood ) Inserts tend to be slower than the Philips model shown here.

That is the top if the sippy, the straw is actually inside the cup (though it can be removed). My daughter started using this sippy at 6 months. I let her play with it a bit before adding any liquid so she could get used to it. She would not drink out if bottles, but she loves this sippy!

I believe so however I ended up really hating this sippy. It would constantly leak out of the straw. After my son would take a drink the pressure build up would just explode out of the straw and all over. The best sippy cup that I have found that truly is leak proof and spill proof are the Munchkin Click and Locks. Absolutely love those sippys, and they have a straw one too!

I would call it "leak resistant", not "leak proof". Simple tipping is fine, but if there is any pressure on the spout when the bottle falls over, then some liquid will escape. The spout is easy enough to operate that my 10-month-old doesn't have a problem getting water out. If anything, it can come out a little fast for him, but he doesn't seem to mind. If you get the additional travel dome top, it will even do well hanging out in the diaper bag. I wouldn't put it in the bag without the travel lid though!

Without the venting part the bottle will be leaking. It only works with the venting part. I personally found the bottles easy to use and did not find the venting part troublesome to use. I used the bottles for 2 of my children and have always been happy with them. I used both the plastic version as well as the glass. The glass is easier as it conducts heat better. The bottles therefore warm more quickly which is nice for those overnight bottle runs. (I bought the plastic ones for a trip as they are much lighter to carry)

Yes. My baby is strictly breastfed so he only gets a bottle on the occasion I have to be away for more than a couple of hours. He has to work the outer nipple enough to put pressure on the inner nipple which is a lot like nursing. I still suggest burping a few times during bottle feeding to slow it down a bit but he doesn't go through it as quickly as other babies I've seen using "normal" bottles.

It depends....my pediatrician recommended starting my son on sippy cups by his 1st birthday. I started with the sippy part and after 3 days he got it so I moved to the straw and thst only took him one day. However, this cup is horrible for the straw...yes it taught my son howto use it but the pressure bbuild-up made the milk always come up the straw and pour out all over the place. I recommend Munchkin click and lock cups, theyv have a straw cup to and no matter how many times it gets dropped it never leaks! Hope this helps.

It is not vented, at least not the plastic rainguard part. But the sides aren't really attached-there are ties up by the pushbar and down by the front wheel-so the child isn't in an airless bubble. He/she won't feel a breeze, though.

It's not so much that it will leak but it will be harder for her to get the formula/milk/juice if the hole isn't facing the top. The flat part if the nipple should face down. I'm going through the same thing with my boys. But hopefully they will learn.

We went almost straight from the Stage 1 nipple to this and our daughter did just fine. The only problem we had was as she got older we had to remove the silicone insert that makes it spill proof b/c she would suck on it too hard and it would bunch up under the cap. I don't know if that would be a problem with such a young babe but the simple solution there was to just remove the insert. That does, however, make it spill-able. Good luck!

Hi no external straw for a child to drink with. However excellent bottles and do minimize airflow. The only negative is replacement parts are not available. Inside there is a white cap, the internal state and a plastic circular thing that connects to internal straw which is easy to lose.

No. It's a plastic top that you pry (for lack of a better term) or pop off to drink. It's not difficult to open and close, unless a younger toddler is attempting to open it. It's attached so you just pop it open to drink and click it shut to close it. I use them everyday and haven't had any issues with spilling or leaking. I hope this helps!

I think it does, but the beauty is it doesn't spill (unless your child starts chewing on the nipple and it breaks). It's the only sippy cup my son would take. ONLY ONE.

It does have a vent in the lid. And we've used ours about a dozen times and no problems so far.
