Would this be good for a 7 month old learning to use a cup?

It wasn't for my kid. I had much more success with The First Years Take & Toss straw sippy cups. Since they're made of a a plastic that you can squeeze, you can squeeze the liquid up to the top of the straw so that my kids could get the idea of the straw. Then you squeeze a little bit less each time so they have to suck a little more. Both of my kids were drinking through a straw within 24 hours using this method.

My little girl started using this cup at 8-9 months old and it really helped her learn how to use a straw. I would just be careful if your child is teething that he/she doesn't bite off a piece of the straw.

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!

Yes and it's great for development... I got it when my babies was 3 months and love this cause she just learned to use her hands... Still enjoys it now

It's very helpful for baby to use the cup with the handles, if can do ,that would be grateful.

I think you can. Probably she may not be able to do it right till a little older. But it can be used as starter cup. Great for learning. My girl started at about 1 year plus. I think you can start at any age depending on what makes you comfortable.

I agree with A Carloss. We didn't use these with our daughter until 8 mos maybe, when we started giving water in addition to breast milk. But the great thing about them is they are soft top so it's an easy transition from bottle. As for maximum age, my daughter is 2 years 1 month and we're still using them. We've added a sippy cup that has a straw too, but she's not ready for full on cups yet.

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).

The cups are semi rigid. It's possible to squeeze them slightly but it would be very difficult for a toddler, and wouldn't be an effective way for them to drink.

Not sure how to answer this question. I started my son on these when he was 8 months, he had no problem holding them when there was 5oz of formula in them. He still uses them 4 months later. They are great sippy cups.

You actually don't want a sippy that would be very hard for a baby/ or child to get liquids from. The mouth does not need to learn to suck and this can be detrimental, if it's always the way he/ she is drinking. There is current research on this but it's a newer finding in the last couple of years. There are speech problems from them and palette formation issues. Experts now suggest they only be used during a transition period between bottle and cup. It may be worth it to keep those kids carpets around until they're old enough to use cups without frequent spills.

I would say NOT for a child that young. A 7-year-old would more than likely find it too much of a challenge and become frustrated.

Nancy my son is 19 months now so it's too soon to tell at this stage. I purchased this piano as a starter foe him to get use to touching the keys. The neat thing about this piano is it comes with a song book which indicates the color coated keys which matches the piano keys. This help your child learn simple songs while learning the keys at the same time. It was a great for for us. Hope this answers your question.

This one works really well for us but we started with this Nuk sippy cup http://www.amazon.com/NUK-Learner-Silicone-Bundle-Patterns/dp/B00GEF7LMA/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1427747772&sr=1-1&keywords=nuk+sippy+cup

I would say more for pretend play. Could you put a cookie on the plate or a Minnie muffin -- yes. As far as the tea cups, small enough for two to three sips.

I think so. My daughter is only level 3 competitive and only 7 yrs old but I think it will be useful a few more years

The straw comes with all the safe sippy 2 cups but can be removed if not needed. My daughter is 19months and still doesn't use it so we're just saving it. The spout is hard on all the cups and can not be changed, it's part of the construction. I wouldn't recommend giving this cup to a 6 month old. Our daughter started using this cup at 10 months and by 11 months she was only using the cup. She caught on pretty quick so maybe just wait a bit, 6 months is kind of young for any cup.

Probably ok if your 17 month old doesn't like to put stuff in his/her mouth. It is non-toxic but is a choking hazard depending on the size of the piece. It isn't particularly messy but play with it on a very washable table.

I think it's more of a trainner my son started using it at 12 months and it's still his favorite cup - he's 19 months now.
