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+.

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

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. 🙂

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!

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!

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!! 🙂

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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 😉
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
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
