      We settled on the Thermos Funtainer:

      It’s important to clean out the drinking straw area on a regular basic, but it comes with a little tiny brush to do so. I like that they are stainless steel and insulated so they can keep things cold all day. These worked all the way through kindergarten for us, and then we just switched to larger version:

        Yes! we have gone through so many trials, but we settled on the ZaK ones. Stainless steel, easy open and close for toddlers, bigger spout that can actually be cleaned. We have one for each kid permanently next to their bed, and by the door for outings. https://a.co/d/984mhxV

          This is hard because it’s going to depend on what your child likes and what works for them 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I totally remember trying like 5 different cups before finding one my girls would use!! I agree that that the thermos one is a good option. We’re actually still using them since you can buy replacement straws.

          • We use the yeti youth tumblers. Downside, because they’re so durable, they’re hefty which means it hurts if the toddler decides to swing it around not realizing others are nearby.

            • rachelThis sounds like you know this from experience…

            I agree, the thermos funtainer is great for that age! Easy to wash, and has lasted us forever! AND, they have a boot on the bottom so it doesn’t make a metal noise when kids put it down, and the boot doesn’t come off and get lost.

            • rachelOhhh, good point on the boot! That’s very nice.
