 If it ain't broke, don't fix itNov 15, 2010
By John'sGirl
We used to own the old Foogo style Thermos cup. My four year old had the cup about 2 years when the top was broken off by baby sis. This was no fault of the thermos, just the reason we had to get a new one.
The old thermos foogo was great. WHY did they have to go and mess it up?? My biggest gripe is that the straw leaks. I have seen comments stating that you should expect liquid to come out of a straw. Well, guess what? The old foogo did not leak. Your child would have to suck liquid out of the straw for it to come out. I thought this was great. This is marketed for toddlers so you should expect cups to get knocked over. Why they felt the need to take away such a great feature is beyond me. In fact, my son knocked his new cup over at his lunch table in preschool. Apparently it made quite the mess. This would not have happened with the old cups. They redesigned it with the same straws in the funtainers, clearly intended for older children. In fact, that pretty much shot any point in getting this instead of the funtainer unless you just need to have a smaller cup.
The other new feature was not a big deal to me, but it may be to others. They changed the size of the cup. Instead of being narrow all the way down, it is now shorter with a wider base. I guess this was done to help fit the cup into lunchboxes better. However, it may not fit well into all cupholders. For instance, it does fit fine in my son's carseat cupholder (graco) but does not fit in my daughter's stroller tray (sit n stand).
The Thermos claim-to-fame, of course, is that it keeps everything super-cold for a super-long time. If there were any other cup out there that did this, I'd give them a shot.

 Leak-proof and keeps liquids coldAug 11, 2010
By Mom in CT
I got this container to keep my son's milk cold while he is at day care since they do not have a refrigerator. It does a great job of keeping liquids cool, and when the cap is screwed on properly, it has never ever leaked. I was worried that it would be heavy for my 14-month old to hold, but is is very lightweight. Also the outside does not get very cold to the touch when it is filled with a cold liquid (another worry I had pre-purchase).
Within minutes of the first use, my son threw it on the floor and the open lid came off. However, it wasn't broken and easily popped back in. I think it may actually be designed to pop off easily so that it does NOT break. I will say it has been through dozens more tosses (my son is in that phase!) and has not separated again.
One thing that DOES separate is the base of the straw from the cap. I will try explain this. When you open the top cap of the bottle, you see the blue screw top with a clear silicone straw sticking up through a triangular hole in the screw top. The straw is actually connected on the other side of the screw top to a larger, round piece of silicone which is the size of the bottle. Where the straw meets this round piece is a triangular silicone base which fits the straw to the hole in the blue cap. So, it's all one piece: straw to triangular base to flat round piece. And that's what creates the seal to prevent liquid from spilling out.
There are two issues with this design: First, the triangular piece can sometimes push BACKWARDS through the hole in the blue cap which means that the seal preventing liquid from coming through is no longer 100%. When this happens, liquid can leak out of the base hole that the straw comes through. The second issue is that it makes the straw difficult to clean because the part where the child sucks is on an angle down to the round piece. From there it "turns" to come straight down to connect to the actual straw inside the bottle. So, the mouthpiece is like an angled "L" shape (and, of course, has a very small opening) - there's nothing you can really fit inside to clean it, so you just have to run soapy water through it and hope that does the job. It doesn't do the job for thicker liquids (like a smoothie), and I have found myself digging in with a Q-tip.
However, I would give this bottle top marks for generally not leaking, keeping liquids cool and being very easy for a child to use. Plus, the stainless steel inside and wide mouth make it exceptionally easy to clean the interior. I clean it by hand as that works best, but it does well in the top rack of a dishwasher, too. Would recommend.

 Junk -- Straw disintegrated after 2 mosJan 07, 2011
By Vicky J. Keston
At first, I was so happy with this product. It's great to have a way to keep milk cold so that you don't have to rush to the fridge all the time.
BUT . . . the straw disintegrated under my son's teeth, and Thermos has terrible customer service. The rep said that they don't warrant the straw and that I should throw it away and buy a new one. When I asked for her name, she refused to give it but instead transferred me into a voicemail.

Great idea, but not for toddlersApr 16, 2010
By scientific illustrator
We have used two of these stainless steel thermos-style bottles for about 3 months. While we love the straw and (loved) the tight-closing lid, the thermos just hasn't stood up to normal use. We have used them VERY gently and yet both lids broke off almost instantly - one on the very first drop from our lap to the carpeted floor of an airplane! So much for durability. And just this morning the plastic cap that covers the bottom of the thermos popped off in my hands as I was washing it. We have never put them in the dishwasher and have handled them quite gingerly. Disappointing.
If you plan to use these with older kids who are less likely to drop them, I'm sure they're great. But not so good with the younger kids who want to hold the bottle themselves.

 Leaks like others. Just make your own straw cup: Recipie here!!!Jul 17, 2011
By azucena romero peralta
This item would be perfect for a kid that puts this straw cup straight up all the time. I made my own straw bottle following the 'recipie' from the BE PREPARED book (a home with babies bibble). I use my stainless steel baby bottle, I cut the nipple openning, an 'x', very small. You place the nipple inverted and screw the ring. Then place a straw through. If the 'x' is too big, then it won't be spill proof. The pros: is stainless steel, the straw could be too, just buy a stainless steel straw from the mulled mind or amazon, you can also place a cup or beer can insulator for your new straw bottle to keep items cold. The cons: my baby pulls the straw out but even when he does that water won't come out!!!! evenif he shakes it upside down!! amazing!!!. But then the straw ends up on the floor dirty, right? NOTHING IS PERFECT FOR THIS KIDS!!!
