Nuby Replacement Spouts – Product Review

[Nuby replacement spouts] are finally available for the 10 oz and 12 oz Nuby sippy gripper cups. They are very hard to find, but once you do find them, you will not have to throw away the sippy cups themselves which can last for many years, even after washing them on the top rack of your dishwasher.

Luv ‘n Care, the manufacturer of Nuby products, has finally come out with Nuby replacement spouts for their 10 oz Nuby sippy gripper cups.

The newest nuby replacement spouts appear to be a better quality of silicone and as such, they seem to be stronger and hold up for a longer period of time. The older spouts were a bit softer and the spout valves seemed to break more easily.

The Luv n Care company still requests that parents closely monitor their children while they are using the Nuby sippy cup replacement spouts. If a baby or toddler is teething, they have a tendency to chew on the spouts. In turn, although the spouts are touted as being leak proof and spill proof, once the spout valve is broken inside, the sippy cups will begin to leak.

Having personally used the Nuby sippy cups for my children and now for my newest grand child who is now 11 months old, I have tried numerous times to make the cups leak. They did leak when I put the lid on wrong. Both the older and the newer Nuby replacement spouts have notches on them. If you aren’t paying attention or don’t know this, your sippy cup may leak.

Those notches have to line up with the notches that are on the rim of the lid that screws onto the sippy cup. If you don’t line up the notches and you don’t screw the lid on correctly, you may have a problem. Otherwise, I have tried to make these sippy cups leak by shaking them rather violently and they do not leak if you follow the directions.

The Nuby replacement spouts seemed to last about a month when my granddaughter started teething and had actual teeth erupting. I always check the spout valves now to make sure she isn’t breaking them as she bites and I never leave her alone with any sippy cup. I don’t want her to choke on her milk either.

The Nuby replacement spouts are very hard to find but there may be some Walmart stores carrying them and if not, some of the Baby Depot Stores within Burlington may carry them. Other wise, you can find them on the internet at http://www.nubysippycup.com
