We are thrilled to announce the Philips Avent 260ml Grown Up Cups product review.

Tip, Sip & Grow with Philips Avent

As your child grows, learning to drink independently is a skill which they need to develop. The revolutionary Philips Avent Grown Up Cups supports your child in the transition to independent drinking.

The Grown Up Cup was developed in co-operation with Professor Hunt (Orthodontist in the UK); according to him, this is: the ideal transition cup for growing toddlers.

The secret is the spill proof valve which only lets fluid out when the child’s lip presses against the valve anywhere around the rim.

Helping them to drink from an open cup-just like an adult without the mess!

Whether at home or on-the go, the protective lid always keeps the cup clean. Recommended for children 12 months+.

  • Great first grown up cup

    My daughter used this cup for her first try of cows milk. She was so delighted that she could hold a proper cup and drink from it. It’s easy for her to grasp and sip from and I literally had to pry it out of her hands to wash it. Definitely a great first cup to learn to drink from

  • A very grown up cup for a little girl

    My daughter struggles to drink from anything other than me at 17months (Still BFing) and doesn’t like drinking from baby bottles, sippy cups or water bottles. She always tries to copy her big bro and drink from a cup but always ends in a mess. But this cup she drinks from no issue and feels like a ‘big girl’ copying her brother. :)

  • Easy to Use

    This arrived a couple of days ago in the post and I opened it and washed it straight away. I filled it and gave it to my daughter and she drank most of the water in the first 1/2 hour. This is great as I struggle to get her to drink and spend a lot of time encouraging her to drink. I had a cup like this for my oldest son but it was very hard to drink from and he only used it a few times before I threw it away. So I was very keen to see how easy the Avent cup was to drink from. It was very easy but also spill proof. I also like the addition of the lid for when out and about. The handles are great too but maybe the option to remove them would be a good idea so it is more like a regular cup for those toddlers who like to be the same as their older siblings. Overall a great product though.

  • Highly recommend this cup to anyone… Very pleased with it and will purchase more!

    Leaving another review for all the other mums out there to show them how good this cup truly is. It has not leaked once even after pulling it apart to wash it. It has been left upside down on my carpet, in my daughters bag and everywhere lease you can imagine and not one drop of liquid has escaped! I have even shaken it while upside down full of water and no leaking… Every mum needs one!

  • Grate

    This is our first purchase of a lip-activated cup. One of my friend’s toddlers uses one, and he does very well with it. I purchased this for my girl, to help train her to use a proper cup. Good design to give to a toddler that thinks she can use a big persons glass (and can’t yet), Great for the car and restaurant. They love being allowed to hold it and control it all on their own without mommy hovering just waiting for a big mess to happen. I haven’t noticed any spills!

  • My daughters new favourite.

    I absolutely love the grown up cup, it took a few trials and errors to get the lid on just right but after we got it my daughter loves it. She now has her juice in it and prefers her milk in the grown up cup at most time. She hardly liked feeding herself before the grown up cup now she loves having that independence. I would definitely tell other mums to buy it and have already converted on if my friends for her daughter and she thinks it’s fantastic.

  • Avoid the spillage - get a Philips Avent Grown up Cup

    My daughter is 2o months old and loves to do everything her older brothers do (aged 5 & 8). This includes many things as well as drinking out of a ‘big kid cup’. I found the Philips Avent Grown Up cup a life saver when we went out as well as around the home as she could be a big kid with a ‘grown-up’ cup but there was not mess to content with afterwards. She learnt very quickly how to use the cup and loved her ‘special big kid’ cup! Advice to all parents -> Avoid the spillage – get a Philips Avent Grown up Cup!! :)

  • Not bad

    My boys both have one of these cups (age 3 & 5) they have both managed to make them leak out all over the place. They manage to do it with nearly every bottle/cup that I have bought!

    I Really like them though.

  • Nifty cup

    I brought a Philips Avent Grown Up Cup for my nephew when I babysat him. I found it was ok but he didn’t really get it. He would just press the edge and spill the water everywhere. So I put it away for when I had kids.
    So now I have cleaned it off and pulled it out for my now 16 month old son. Again he figured out how to press the lip and spill water everywhere but he loves to feel like a big boy and drink like Mummy and Daddy at dinner time.
    The cup has lasted really well and is really easy to pull apart for washing.
    I’m sure as he gets a bit older he won’t press on it and spill water but it’s great for learning how to drink from a cup.

  • This was great for miss independent

    This was a great product for my youngest when she started refusing regular sippy cups because she wanted to be the same as her big brothers and sister but she still wasn’t quite ready to use a regular cup yet. At least not without a whole lot of water ending up on the floor. This was a great compromise option that helped her to feel like a big kid without the mess. We loved it!

  • Little spillage, and a big winner in our household

    My little guy loves drinking from this cup as it mimics a “grown up cup”. The fact that it does not spill, or spills very little is an added bonus. We use it now as our cup of choice when out and about. It is easy to disassemble and wash in the dishwasher. There are no small parts to lose or break. It really is a very mum and baby friendly cup.

  • Easy to use but lots of spillage

    We’ve been using the cup for a few weeks now and whilst he easily gets the gist of how to use it and loves drinking out of it as well as our cups.. he still makes massive mess with spilling all over him. It’s a good thing the weather has warmed up! It’s a great cup and certainly makes for a great transition from sippy cup to regular cup.

  • Good concept

    Having a 4 year old big sister, Mr 16 months wants to grow up quickly by mimicking all that she does, so I was eager to try the Avent grown up cup in the hope of a little less mess while he did so.
    On first inspection, I liked the bright colour, sturdy handles and also the clear cup for ease of checking water levels. I also liked that there was a sealing lid for when out and about.
    Our first use seemed a little tricky as he is used to cups with straws, but after showing him to tip it, he picked it up rather quickly. Our only problem was he didn’t swallow quick enough before returning the cup down – but we worked on that and he seems to be getting less spillage from that.
    He has worked out though that if you hold the centre disc in, the water will run out and allow him to create puddles on his highchair tray – but that is all down to his cheeky nature I guess.
    Overall I like the Avent grown up cups and I will continue to purchase them in the future. Thank you Mouths of Mums for the chance of trialling it for you :)

  • My son took to it really well

    My 14 month old son picked it up and drank from his avent grown up cup soo easily. I did not even have to show him. It’s a great way if transferring them from sippy cup to normal cup without having the massive spills ;) there would only ever be a few drops leak and that’s only due to him not swallowing the amount he had released. A must have for all mums weaning ;) thankyou avent/Phillips for allowing to try this great product on my son Hunter ;)

  • Love it

    Philips advent grown up cup is the best I’ve tried, being a mum of 3 boys 12, 4 and 18 months I’ve tried a fair few over the years
    Totally recommend
    And Riley just loves it too

  • Amazing best toddler cup ever

    Absolutely love Philips advent grown up cup
    No more spills YAY

  • A great product

    Our little one is 11 months old and he started using his cup just a few days ago. He learned to control it very quickly and even if tipped it does not spill. After a few uses he has become very proficient with it. I would really recommend it and find it far superior to any other products we have tried.

  • Is defiantly not a non spill cup

    I’m sorry but I really don’t like this cup. I found that my 13mth old worked out how to push down the plug and empty all contents on himself. Each time I tried it, I ended up with a ringing wet toddler. If you can get you toddler to use it properly then it’s fantastic but as mine discovered how to get the water out, it just became a toy.

    It does however not leak when tipped upside down or thrown.

  • Great for transitioning

    As a Speech Pathologist who works with children with disabilities, I think this cup is a great transition from a bottle or sippy cup. It was easy to get the water out & the water flowed out at a manageable rate, not too fast. The cup is also light & easy to hold with both one & two hands. I also love that it is non spill so it is easy to take with you or fir a child with a disability to take to school!

  • Easy to use cup but still leaks

    Initially the cup was easy to operate, easy to open, fill and close. My daughter found it easy to hold with the handles on either side. The downside is that when she goes to tip it over to drink, I think she tips it too far back and too much water comes out which falls all over her. I have also found that it still leaks. She tends to carry it around with her and I find water trails on the ground.

  • excellent until Miss O figured how it works!

    Excellent product I was really impressed!
    Miss O loved using this but she is very curious 1yr old and figured out that she could use her hand to make water spill out.
    But she still uses it.
    Great design and loved it overall xxx

    Fantastic product and wonderful idea but not suited to my child at his age.he couldn’t quite figure it out but I think it will be good in a few months (he’s 18 months) I love how they need to push it down for the water to come out, so they need to work for it and doesn’t just come out everywhere

  • Great Idea

    This cup is such a fantastic idea. Our daughter loves to drink from adult cups but it always ends in disaster. Now we can control the water flow with this! She gets a bit excited though and pulls the cup away so quickly water continues to pour out for a short time but does drench the front of her. I think that’s more the child then the cup though! All in all I love it and have even purchased another!

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
