The Drawbacks:
The main drawback was that the black ring cracked when my son dropped the bottle. However, Klean Kanteen, regardless of where you purchased the bottle, will replace parts free of charge (including free shipping) if something like that happens. The replacement ring cracked also when he dropped it another time. Klean Kanteen sent me TWO more rings and extra inserts and spouts, again at no charge to me. In addition, I had the replacement parts w/in days! So far, the replacement rings have not cracked at all, even when my son drops / throws the bottle to the floor.
The second drawback: when the bottle dropped, it dented, altho that dent is barely noticeable.
The great things about this bottle:
1. It does NOT leak for us at all! However, we are very certain to make sure all parts are tightly fitting together! If they are, no leaking!
2. You can use the white AVENT rings (that go around the baby bottles) and you can easily purchase more AVENT spouts (that come with AVENT sippy cups) and attach those to the bottle for extra caps/spouts. Event AVENT nipples work!
3. AVENT domes fit around the bottle! That''s great if you want to protect the spout during travel.
4. You can purchase other Klean Kanteen accessories for this if you like: carrying case, etc
5. It''s eco-friendly!
6. It has a life long after your child will outgrow his sippy cup needs. Either an adult or a child / teen could use this afterwards. All you need is a screw in cap which you could easily purchase locally or online.
7. The stainless steel used is food grade and will not impart taste to the liquid inside the bottle.
8. The colors are practically scratch resistant! You have to try VERY hard to scratch the coating off these bottles!
9. The color choices are beautiful! I get compliments on my son''s bottles and my bottle all the time! We have blue and orange for my son, and blue and black for the parents. The colors are fabulous, glossy and stunning. The orange is not as bright as I had expected, but it''s still very nice.
10. Great size for a child. Easy for my 13 month old to hold and drink out of.
11. My current rings have not cracked.
12. Excellent (5 STAR) customer service. I cannot say enough things about this company!
I highly recommend this product. It''s not without flaws, but Klean Kanteen is so awesome to work with that I can forgive any mishaps!I bought this cup for my 18 month old to have water around the house. Unfortunately it leaks/drips a little, and if dropped hard enough right onto the spout the sippy part gets pushed in (letting out lots of water). Also the sippy spout isn''t very generous, you have to "sip" pretty hard to get much water out. My son doesn''t like to use this cup and won''t drink out of it unless he''s pretty thirsty. This is now sitting in the cupboard collecting dust. I will probably buy a regular screw lid for it and use the bottle when he''s a little older.
If you are looking for a stainless cup for your kid we have two of the Camelbak stainless steel kids cups (these have the regular bite valve rather than a sippy top) which my 1 year old and 4 year old both love.

Great sippy cup work well and the sippy spout is made out of hard plastic. My toddler likes to chew on the soft ones, so I was a little worried about the durability of the spout glad to say it is GREAT. One thing to note is that I have an older toddler (20m) and ordered the sippy spout he had a hard time figuring out how to suck on it since we mostly used cups. I suggest the sport''s cap it now it perfect.My mother in law bought two of these cups for my kids and I was excited about the option to give them non-plastic cups. Unfortunately, they lasted about a day. What baby doesn''t throw their cup on the floor from the high chair? It broke in pieces the first time I gave it to him. It was also painfully loud to hear it repeatedly hitting the floor! The second one broke soon after that. It''s not insulated so even cold water without ice in it made him unhappy to hold.This is the best sippy cup it is definitely worth the money. I have been using it for my now 17 month old for a few months and sure it dents when it gets dropped, but the fact that he can drink it in the car and tip it upside down without it spilling or dribbling everywhere is wonderful. Plus, I am much happier with him drinking out of this cup rather than a plastic one with so many crevasses that can breed bacteria.
