It's hard to believe that I've found it, but, to paraphrase Simon Cowell of American Idol, I ...

This generation of parents has been graced by the advent of spill-proof cups that actually work. There comes a time in the young toddler's life when he or she asserts the proclamation "I am a BIG Boy/Girl" respectively. Since they are now...

Pros: Wonderful cup--fun colors, leak-proof, and it's fun to use!!
Cons: None

I will start by saying that the Playtex CoolStraw bottle is a VERY COOL BOTTLE!! My daughter has a few of the very similar Playtex QuickStraw bottles, but I have found that the CoolStraw keeps drinks colder for longer and there is no "sweat" whatsoever ...

Pros: Fun to use, won't leak, insulated to keep drinks cold!
Cons: None!

As I was shopping in H.E.B. one day, I found the coolest bottle with a straw...The Playtex CoolStraw Bottle! They had several colorful color combinations available: 1. blue bottle, red lid, yellow flip top 2. magenta pink bottle, blue lid, yellow ...

Pros: Keeps beverages colder; holds more liquid; doesn't sweat; fun to use

Pros: Keeps drinks cold, easy to clean and assemble. replacement parts avalible.
Cons: None

Pros: Bottle and cap actually come in matching colors!!
Cons: LEAKS, LEAKS, LEAKS! Smaller amount of liquid inside.

Compared to the non-insulated Playtex bottles, this one has a bad habit of leaking and it's got a smaller capacity inside. The regular Quick Straw bottles are 12 ounces and wonderful for anytime in the car, etc. These are terrible with 8 oz. Doesn't insulate much better than the other ones. Bought 4, at different stores and times, and NO SUCCESS in NOT leaking!!!
