Easy Sipper Cup, Pack of 2
7/10 overallAround £10.99 for 2
A two-handled first cup with a soft silicone spout, designed as a bridge between bottle and open cup.
The verdict
Vital Baby's Easy Sipper, around £10.99 for two, uses a soft silicone spout rather than hard plastic, making it a gentler bridge for a baby moving off bottles. Best for parents wanting a familiar, bottle-like first cup rather than jumping straight to open-cup drinking. Skip it if the goal is skipping spouts altogether — the Munchkin Miracle 360 is the better choice for that.
This cup uses a soft silicone spout rather than a hard plastic one, which is gentler on developing gums and closer in feel to a bottle teat — a useful bridge for a baby just moving off bottles. Two side handles make it easier for smaller hands to grip and lift independently earlier than a single-handled cup allows.
Against Munchkin's valve-free Miracle 360, the Soft Sip is the gentler, more familiar-feeling first step, while the Miracle 360 is the better choice if the goal is skipping spouts altogether and moving straight to open-cup drinking.
