Tommee Tippee Review & Giveaway

Having seen great reviews and giveaways on other blogs, I was eager to try the Tommee Tippee brand of products. When given an opportunity, through TwitterMoms, to participate in a product review, I jumped at the chance.

Ever tried Tommee Tippee products yourself? They are top rated in the UK.

"Tommee Tippee, from the UK-based Mayborn Group Limited, the #1 brand of infant and toddler feeding products in Great Britain, is loved by parents and children alike and is one of the top brands of infant products and accessories in the global market. Tommee Tippee has received numerous brand accolades in Great Britain, including top ranks in the prestigious Mother and Baby Gold Awards – a head-to-head assessment of competitive products voted on by moms themselves. The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature line of baby bottles has been chosen as Great Britain’s best baby bottle by The Mother and Baby Gold Awards."

As a mom of three (soon to be 4!), and a former nanny, I have tried many, many brands of bottles and sippy cups throughout the years. Most are adequate, some very good, but many so called leak-proof cups either leak when put up to the toddler chewing, dropping, shaking, throwing test; or, are simply a pain in the rear to disassemble & clean.

I was sent a set of the Tommee Tippee Explora Sippy Cups to test. Here's my take on them:

These cups are not only cute, but they perform well and are easy to use. Hooray for a product that delivers as promised! Both my 2 year old and 5 year old tested them out. (Yes, my 5 year old is a little mature for a sippy cup but I indulged her for a while). The cups hold 12 ounces of liquid, plenty for a thirsty, active toddler. They are easy to grip with a rubbery outer ribbing, and easily fit in a cup holder. They are a cinch to snap apart, plop in the dishwasher, and snap back together. They don't leak and they have an attached spout cover to help keep out the germs. I think they are just dandy for making any hardworking, busy mommy's life a little easier. Microwave, dishwasher and freezer-safe, plus BPA- and Phthalate-free. They definitely get two thumbs up from me!

More specifics about the cups I tested:
Recommended ages: 9 months+

Sippy Cups:
Designed to take children from first sips to grown-up drinking by easing transitions along the way.
Advance-flo™ valve created by a physicist requires same amount of suction as a bottle or breast – easy drinking = easier transition.
Spill- and leak-proof.
Progressively staged with a specific grip and spout for every age and stage.

I plan to get plenty of miles out of these cups and can't wait to try the Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature bottles and pacifiers with our newest addition.
