What ages would you suggest using this cup for? Would a one year old (most likely) have success using it?

Yes. My son has had them since he was about 10 months. If they drink from a straw well, it should work. If not, they have a sippy cup silicone attachment that you can use too. I'll have to warn you that these are NOT leak-proof, so I would just stick with water to easier deal with spills. Hope that helps!

There is no vent hole in this cup. Meaning your baby will have to open his/her mouth to allow air back into the cup otherwise the baby will no longer able to suck the milf/juice from the cup. Also, it is not insulated either. So for cold liquid, water will condense on the outside of the cup.The sleeve around the cup will loosen in time after a few washing cycle in the dish washer.... I don't recommend this cup. I won't buy this if I have a chance to do it again.

I gave it to my 8 month old and she was able to figure it out. I think a 1 year old would be fine! I started her without the straw so she would know to sip it like a bottle and once she realized that she could sip it without leaning back, using it with the straw works great!

My child started using this cup at 13 mos. old and he took to it very easily.

These particular cups start at 12 months but my son started using them at about 9 months

Yes I think It would be great for a 1 year old. I have a 9 month old, a 14 month old and 2 4 year old grandchildren. And they all want to play with it.

This would work well for a child that age. You likely will have to assist with opening/closing the lid, but your little one should be able to use the straw well. So far this has been the best product we have found for not leaking.

I would say no. It is designed to be cognitively appropriate for children 18 months and older, but my 20 month old wasn't interested. If your one year old just likes sounds, this would work. If you want it to be educational, I would say pass.

I don't remember what age I gave it to my son, but I think it is a good "first" cup. Mine didn't leak, so that's very helpful for containing a mess and making it more likely that you will let him play with it and use it more often. The straw top is closed and has slits that allow liquid to come through when your baby takes a sip; at the same time, your baby doesn't have to sip too hard to get some liquid out. It's got a narrow body that can feel like bottle (if you don't use the handles).

If it's not seen often, it would probably work for the 2 year old as well. My 3 year old still loves to crawl inside of it and hang from the upper supports. The one year old would love all the parts of it. There would just be different things that each likes :).

The straw isn't hard. So it's not a hazard. My son was just under 1 when he learned to drink with a straw. My daughter was 2. These straws are not sippy straw though. so it will leak if the cup is dropped or tipped over. I think Gerber has a spill proof straw cup.

I think so, my daughter is one year old and she sits pretty good but if you want something to use for a longer time, buy a different one.

Yes! We started it with my son at 7 months, it took him until 10 months to get really good at it, but he likes it better than a sippy cup!

Christmas present? I use it in therapy (I am a speech pathologist) with kids as young as 3, but I think you could use it with 2 year olds. 18 months might be a bit young as they may just want to put it in their mouths. It depends on the kid though. If you think the kid is really sharp then try it. If the child will be monitored while they play (you faciltate it) they may have fun with it, but 18 month olds don't really get the concept of toppings yet. So to sum up, I would wait until they are a bit older. Up to you.

It really depends on things like how tall or active your one year old is. As a general rule, a toddler of any age will need help with it. I find that even our five and seven year old prefer to be pushed than to get it moving themselves.

my daughter hass just turned 2 and uses this cup I think it is good for any age under 4

I got ours for a 1 year old and it is fine for him and probably for another few years, for a 3 year old I would go with something bigger so they can grow into it!

I think a one year old might enjoy the sounds and the mashing of the keyboard. The games may be a little too much for a one year old to understand. You would definately have to assist them

I think it is def ok for a 1yo! They may not understand how to use the toy you put sand in to spin, but if you teach them they'll learn! My 18month old loved this and I don't see why a 1yo wouldn't without a little help from parents :)

My son started using them around 10-11 months and still occasionally uses them now at 16 months. It was a nice transition from bottle nipple to sippy cup. Most of the sippy cups have the hard spout and my son couldn't pull the fluid out until he was over a year. Hope that helps.P.S. Be careful because while teething my son bit through the holes in the top and the bottles started leaking. We bought replacement nipples but he just did it again :)
