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.

Our daughter was only 18 months old when we gave it to her. I haven't found anything that would harm a one year old. We've had it for two months now, and no problems with her being too small or anything being dangerous.

I think it may be too babyish for a 21 month old, I bought it as a one year old's gift and it's perfect for her for now, but I think at 21 months, it may not be as fun!

My son didn't learn to drink from a cup till he was 2 years old. But these are defiantly the best cups for learning. GL

It wasn't fast enough for my son when he was ~15 months. That lead to him gulping air and throwing up the few times we tried to use this bottle. We scrapped it and got the Nuby 10 oz. no spill sippy cup. We still use that for his milk cup without any issues.

I recommend letting her practice in the bathtub (with water), where it won't make a mess if she spills. Mine did this for a while around 9 months. She is 18 months now and uses these cups better than any other open cups we've tried so far.

No, I would not buy it for a one year old. Yes it was an awesome gift for a 4 year old.

I believe a one-year old would still enjoy this toy. He/she can stack up the rings as in the original order or express his/her creative ability by switching the rings in a different order. The ability to learn colors is present as well. This a toy that even an older toddler will pull out to play with. I hope this helped.

It's hard for my toddler to open, which is why I like it :-), but I think it would probably be fine for a 5 and 7 year old. You do have to hold the button down (which is under the latch clip/handle) WHILE drinking, unlike other bottles where you flip the lid/straw/latch and it stays open until you close it. Unless you're pushing the button the water won't come out.

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!

My son is 15 months old and he is able to drink through this straw easily. I have never tried. I actually think this cup leaks more through the straw than most cups and it's not our favorite. Maybe you recieved a defective straw?

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.

We bought this initially when our son was about 18 months, but now he is three and is still using it, and our one-year-old can climb into it as well. I would guess that we will be able to use it till about age four or five.

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 :)

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.

My youngest could hold these well at 15-16 months. However my nephew had no problem with them at 12months. These are the BEST Sippy cups I've ever used! They seriously do not leak unless it's "user" error! : )

It all depends on the baby. Mine was a year old and I wanted to break him of bottles. He wouldn't use other sippy cups but because of the rubber nozzle on this and the fact that it looks like a bottle, made him use this cup without difficulty. The wing handles helped him to get used to the feel of a sippy cup so when I introduced a new more advanced sippy cup he did fine. U could probably introduce this bottle around 8 months I think.
