Ill be the first to admit, we have a sippy cup graveyard. Pictured above are just some of the many cups and spouts that have occupied our home at some point. You would think after trying so many we would have found the perfect one right? Sadly we really haven't succeeded in being 100% happy with any one cup which is why I jumped at the chance to try the EIO cup.
The EIO cup was developed by a Mom who was sick of having a sippy cup graveyard. She was done with the leaking, mismatched tops, and endless parts. She thought of a way to use a regular glass mason jar protected by a silicone sleeve with a simple lid as a training cup. Born was the EIO kids cup.
This cup is marketed for the age group 18 months and up. Weston is only about 14 months now but I really love that we are able to use this cup as practice. Keep in mind that this cup does not promise, "spill free." There are no gimmicks and no valves. This is a cup for those children who are ready to train to use a regular cup. The great thing about the EIO kids cup is that once your child is ready you can remove the lid and use this as a regular cup.
Reasons you should buy this cup:
You are ready to help your child to prepare to drink from a regular cup.
This cup is glass and free of BPA/PVC/Phthalates
No cleaning of small parts
No small parts to loose.
This cup is reusable as your child grows.
Some things to Consider When Deciding If The EIO Cup Is For You:
This cup is not leak proof.
I like that this cup is glass and chemical free, however, Weston does like to throw things which concerns me. Obviously if we are sitting on the floor together and practicing drinking it is not such a big deal. The idea that he could chuck this cup from the highchair across the room is something I am slightly leary of. As Weston gets older I think this will be less and less of an issue.

ReplyDeleteMakes an easier transition to a cup.
ReplyDeleteThat it makes transitioning to a real cup easier
ReplyDeleteEIO Kids Cup is a uniquely designed training cup for ages 18 months to 5 years.
ReplyDeleteResearch suggests that any child over the age of 1 year SHOULD NOT use a cup with a valve. Sucking from a valve rather than sipping may be detrimental to dental development.
ReplyDeleteI love that the bulk of the EIO kid's cup is made in the USA (only the sleeve is made in China)! I'm all for products made here as opposed to overseas.
ReplyDeleteThe cup is a canning jar! Love that!
ReplyDeleteNo valve to clean! Yes! Great feature!
ReplyDeleteI love that the idea for these cups came from her using glass mason jars when she had gotten fed up with other sippy cups.
ReplyDeleteWe drink out of jars all the time too!
ReplyDeleteChildren shouldnt suck from a valve after age 1 because it can cause future dental problems.
ReplyDeleteThey are a PTPA winner.
ReplyDeleteI like that if the jar does break, it only costs about a buck 59 to replace it!!
ReplyDeleteI learned EIO cups use BPA free, valve-free, screw-top cap
ReplyDeleteI learned that all of their products are recycable..
ReplyDeleteI learned that all their cups are BPA free, and that there are no little pieces to clean and get lost. They're also very sturdy, so you don't have to worry about safety issues with the glass.
ReplyDeleteAll of their cups are BPA free!
ReplyDeleteI love the Kids Cup because they're totally BPA free. Unmatched Versatility. Environmentally Friendly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
this would have saved so much trouble with my 1st. He poured drinks down the front of him when preschool started using regular cups.
ReplyDeleteI learned that the lid fits most 8-oz canning jars, and it's BPA free! This is a great idea, I'd love to have one for my little girl.
ReplyDeletei think it's awesome that they are bpa free and based on using a mason jar
ReplyDeleteI learned that the jar is made in the USA and the sleeve in China
ReplyDeleteI love these! I have a few sleeves that I use with mason jars at home. They are a hit! :)

It is designed after a mason jar.
ReplyDeleteThese were inspired by the mason jar.
ReplyDeleteI learned that you can use it with any 8 oz mason jar!
ReplyDeletethere's a bunch of things i like about the cup-- one is that you can screw on any 8 oz canning jar and the other is that the drinking area has a slope so it goes back in the cup
ReplyDeleteLOVE that they are BPA free!!!!
