Special Product Review
"Lil' Chillers Cups"
When we received the request to review these 12 oz. Lil' Chillers Cups, we didn't know what to expect. We wondered what was so special about this cup.
Well, when we received a Lil' Chillers cup, we were pleasantly surprised. A simple idea was tweaked to be more child-friendly and great for parents! We love the design and the rubber feel of the cup -- even little hands will have no problem holding onto it. Another great feature is the ability to handle the cup with wet hands. How many times have you been washing dishes and needed to handle your child's cup? What about your children's hands -- are they ever completely dry? ;) Our parents loved the ease in which they were able to hold onto Lil' Chillers, even when their hands were wet. No more worrying about dropped cups because of wet hands, yours or your childs'! This is definitely a positive aspect. Another thing we liked about the cup, was its durability. Our child testers dropped them numerous times on tile floors, and they withstood breakage. This is an important and necessary safety feature to have in a child's product.
With these cups, you don't have to worry about a big mess if the cup does fall or tip over. As any parent, we were skeptical about this, but it was put to the test numerous times. Sure enough, even a full cup of liquid when on its side, just dripped out of the opening. Be careful though, as any cup with an opening is sure to expel liquid if your child decides to deliberately hold the cup upside down to watch the liquid fall! ;) The screw on lid was easy enough for parents to take off, yet secure enough to keep little hands from prying. The stay-in straw is a unique and wonderful addition -- we all know how little ones love removing straws from cups and flinging liquid around! The straw stopper actually works - although it might cause some frustration for little ones who cannot figure out why they cannot remove the straw. ;) Cleaning is easy enough in the top rack of the dishwasher.
MyParenTime.com highly recommends Lil' Chillers -- these brightly-colored cups made of unbreakable polycarbonate plastic with skid-proof bottoms, fosters good health by promoting proper speech development and lessens dental problems in children. Even big kids will enjoy using these cups -- when your little one no longer wants or needs the straw, they can use this cup without the lid (grooves are comfortably set inside the cup). Parents are sure to be very pleased.
