Moonkie's silicone straw cup is sized at 5 oz for babies around six months and up, which is deliberately small: a full-size cup is too heavy for a baby learning to lift and tip. The body is soft silicone so it does not crack or chip when it hits the floor, the lid is spill-resistant, and the whole thing is BPA-free and dishwasher safe. It ships as a two-pack, which matters because one is always in the dishwasher. Best fit: families doing baby-led weaning who are transitioning off bottles, and anyone tired of replacing hard plastic cups that shatter on tile.
Pros
- Soft silicone body does not crack or chip when it is thrown onto a hard floor
- 5 oz size is light enough for a six month old to lift without help
- Spill-resistant lid keeps the car seat and couch dry
- Dishwasher safe and ships as a two-pack, so one is always clean
Cons
- Spill-resistant is not the same as fully leakproof, so it can weep if it rolls upside down in a bag
Frequently asked questions
What age is it for?
It is designed for six months and up, which lines up with when most babies start baby-led weaning and begin practicing with a straw.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe and BPA-free. Silicone parts generally do best on the top rack.
Will it leak in a diaper bag?
The lid is spill-resistant rather than fully leakproof. It handles tipping on a high chair tray well, but pack it upright rather than loose in a bag.
Are replacement straws available?
Straws on silicone training cups wear out with chewing over time. Check the brand's listing for replacement parts before assuming a chewed straw ends the cup's life.
