Sippy Cups for Beginners
Mininor's Sippy Cup is a genuinely simple, no-frills option for babies just starting out with a baby sippy cup, while Beaba's Silicone Learning Cup and 2-in-1 Baby Bottle (which converts between bottle and cup) help bridge the gap for babies still getting used to independent drinking.
Straw and Spout Cups for Older Babies
Once your baby's ready for more independence, Beaba's Stainless Steel Straw Cup and Straw Cup range, along with Skip Hop's Besties Squad Straw Bottles, offer a step up from a basic infant sippy cup better suited to toddlers building real coordination and control.
Training Cups for the Transition Away From Bottles
Mushie's Silicone Training Cup and Suavinex's Wonderland 360° Training Cup are both designed specifically for the tricky in-between stage — no-spill drinking from (almost) any angle, helping ease the shift away from bottles entirely.
Every sippy cup in our range is chosen for genuine BPA-free safety and everyday durability not just cute prints. Free delivery is included on all orders over $99, with fast dispatch across Australia.
FAQs
What age should a baby start using a sippy cup?
Many babies start with a sippy cup around 6 months, alongside starting solids, though readiness varies — look for signs your baby can sit supported and is showing interest in drinking from something other than a bottle or breast.
What's the difference between a sippy cup and a training cup?
The terms are often used interchangeably, though "training cup" sometimes refers specifically to 360°-style cups designed to be sipped from any point around the rim, helping teach proper drinking mechanics rather than just preventing spills.
Are stainless steel sippy cups better than plastic ones?
Stainless steel options, like Beaba's range, tend to be more durable and don't retain odours or stains the way some plastics can over time, though a good BPA-free plastic or silicone cup is also a safe, lighter option for smaller hands.
How do I transition my baby from a bottle to a sippy cup?
Many parents introduce a sippy cup alongside regular bottle feeds around 6 months, gradually replacing more bottle feeds with cup drinking as the baby gets used to the new skill, rather than switching all at once.
Are sippy cups dishwasher safe?
Most sippy cups in our range, including Beaba's and Mininor's, are dishwasher safe — always check the specific care instructions for straw or valve components, which sometimes need hand-washing to keep working properly.
