With a subtle switch from nipple to spout the Chicco Soft Silicone Spout Transition Cup is the first step in the journey to independent drinking. Dual valves release air so baby swallows only the good stuff. The soft silicone spout has a familiar rounded breast-like shape with a satin non-slip texture and is naturally spill-proof. No need to worry about messes with this cup. Gentle sipping activates the flow so you can flip it upside down and all around without leaking a drop: the perfect design for young children who are still developing their motor skills. Plus with no spills you can easily monitor liquid intake by checking the calibration markings. Your little one can comfortably hold on to the non-slip handles shaped especially for tiny hands or you can easily remove them for practice holding a cup. Ergonomic indents guide baby's hands for proper placement while practicing independent drinking. Cover the spout with the snap-on cap to keep it clean or for a quick and easy wash throw the cap spout and cup base in the dishwasher. With minimal parts that are all dishwasher safe the Chicco Transition Cup is exactly what every parent needs: functional minimalistic easy to clean and loved by kids.
