Playtex First Sipster Spill Proof Cup Versus Gerber Fun Grips Soft Starter Spill Proof Cup

Everyone with an infant or toddler knows it is difficult enough to keep your carpet and furniture clean without having to worry about a sippy cup that leaks. Grandparents may remember sippy cups being called "tommy tippy cups." Finding a brand that works for your child can be an expensive and time consuming process. Make infant care and feeding easier by doing some research ahead of time to find out your child's personal preferences and mix those with a cup that really works. Keep in mind during this process that no cup is completely leak-free though. You may have some issues with a small amount of liquid escaping from the sippy cup if your baby tends to suck some into the spout, but leaves some of the liquid remaining in the spout portion of the cup that is already past the valve area that secures the liquid in the cup.

Two of the major brands of sippy cups on the market today are Playtex and Gerber. For purposes of comparison, I've chosen two similar cups that each have some of the same features - the Playtex First Sipster Spill Proof Cup and the Gerber Fun Grips Soft Starter Spill Proof Cup.
