She still likes the older 10 oz Nuby sippy gripper cups too.  They only seemed to leak when the notches weren’t lined up just right or when the spout was depressed in the diaper bag.  We think that the older ones are still better for the transition phase from bottle to sippy cup because they don’t have an extra rim at the top of the spout and may still feel more natural for your baby.  On the other hand, the new Nuby super spout might be better if this is the first one your baby tries after weening off of the bottle.  They are recommended for ages 6 months plus.

The nicest part about the Nuby super spouts are that they fit the most popular of the Nuby sippy cups.  They fit the newest 10 oz Nuby Super Spout Easy Gripper tall sippy cup.  It’s uncertain as to whether the company is going to be making replacement spouts for their other new super spout cups, but we will be on top of it when they do and let our readers know.

Everyone is trying to do something to help save the environment these days.  The Nuby sippy cups last a long time and with the creation of their replacement spouts for many of their new and existing sippy cups, that means there will be less plastic in the landfills.  They have also made it a point to make their baby products BPA (bisphenol-A) free when applicable.  All of the Nuby replacement spouts, including the super spouts, are BPA free.

You can find the cups in places like Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us, but the best place to find the spouts in stock is online in ecommerce stores and on Ebay.  Just put in the search term “nuby super spouts” to find them.  When you are comparing prices online or on Ebay, be sure to note what the shipping costs are.  Some of the spouts are listed for less but when you go to check out, you get a great surprise with a high shipping charge.  Some of the higher priced spouts have lower shipping charges with an overall lower cost.

You can see pictures of all of the different kinds of Nuby spouts and find more information at shop.nubysippycup.com where you can get a discount code for being a repeat buyer.  Overall, the new Nuby super spouts are a great product and a great buy for parents who want to save money and help save the environment as well.  You can also check out the Nuby super spout blog at:  http://nubysuperspouts.blogspot.com/ for more information on the Nuby super spouts.

Where can you find Nuby replacement spouts in Pittsburgh PA?  Nuby replacement spouts, manufactured by the parent company, Luv ’n Care, is a very popular brand of sippy cup that comes with selected replacement parts that are sold worldwide.  There are many Pittsburgh PA consumers who like the Nuby brand, have heard about the replacement spouts, but can’t seem to find them.  So, if you live in the greater Pittsburgh PA area, where can you find Nuby replacement spouts?

There are some local Pittsburgh stores that do carry the Nuby replacement spouts, however, those stores would be centered around the local malls.  Sometimes you will be able to find them at your local WalMart, Target, or Baby Depot stores in the greater Pittsburgh area.  Even though they say that they carry them, oftentimes the stores are either out of them, they only have one type of spout, or they have decided not to carry them at all.

The easiest way to find the Nuby replacement spouts is online.  It only takes a few minutes to do a search on google or bing.com, typing in “nuby replacement spouts” and getting a very quick return on your time investment.  You will get a good selection of websites, but how do you know which one to choose?  Beware of the websites that say “lowest prices”.  Sometimes the prices are low but the shipping is very high.  For example, you can purchase the Nuby replacement spouts at Amazon.com  BUT, you will pay twice as much for them as you would on a site like this one that carries a variety of Nuby replacement spouts and offers low shipping and handling charges.  You can find the store by  clicking here.

If you don’t believe in paying shipping and handling charges, here are a few things to think about.  You live in the greater Pittsburgh area.  That means you will have to get in your car, use your gas to drive to a store, perhaps take your kids along with you which means you will be tempted to stop along the way and buy ice cream, drinks or a snack if the kids get whiney.  You will need to go into the store and begin your search to find the nuby replacement spouts only to find out that the store is out of them, or that they don’t carry the ones that you need.  Time wasted.  You get back into your car and go on a search for another store.  Before you know it, two hours have passed and you still don’t have your Nuby sippy cup replacement spouts, but you have spend $25 on other items you really didn’t need.

It only takes a few minutes to do your search online.  Most merchants accept Paypal as the way to pay these days.  Paypal is simply a merchant account that accepts all major credit cards.  The nice thing about Paypal is that if you do a lot of online shopping, you can send money or buy very conveniently and safely.  Millions of consumers use Paypal because of it’s safety and convenience.

You can find the Nuby replacement spouts more readily online.  Let your fingers do the shopping if you live in the Greater Pittsburgh area and want to buy the Nuby replacement spouts. 

At these parks, where many of the families and events gather, you will see all ages of children running around everywhere having fun.  On a hot day, many of the moms will bring drinks for their little ones, toddlers and babies alike.  One of the most popular methods of dispensing those drinks is through the use of sippy cups.  It’s not uncommon to see a wide variety of styles of sippy cups being used.  Some are made of aluminum but the majority are made of plastic of some sort.  That’s where environmental and health concerns come in and where Greensburg moms have a chance to impact their environment in a positive way. 

Not all sippy cups are created equal.  There are still sippy cups that contain the chemical bisphenol-A also known as BPA.  There are studies being done that have shown a direct link to cancer caused by the BPA chemical in plastics.  Large amounts would have to be consumed to have any damaging effects, but other studies show that exposure to even smaller amounts could be problematic.  Some of the Greensburg moms think they are helping their children by providing bottled water or mixing formula with bottled water.  That could be a problem as well since bottled water bottles also contain BPA. 

One brand of sippy cup that manufactures BPA free sippy cups is Luv N Care, better known as the brand name “Nuby”.  Nuby sippy cups have been BPA free for many years.  In response to the BPA controversy, they have now started to sell many other BPA free products as well.  One of the best things Nuby did was to start making replacement spouts for some of their most popular sippy cups.  Because of these replacement spouts, Greensburg moms can participate in going green, even if it is in a small way. 

The most popular 10 oz Nuby sippy gripper cup and the 8 oz, two handled no spill sippy cups now have replacement spouts available.  There is also a replacement spout for the Nuby sport sipper with the straw type spout.  The Nuby products can be found in Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, sometimes in the grocery stores and some drug stores.  The replacement spouts are found mainly online at places like the nuby baby store .  You can also just go to google and type in nuby sippy cups to find links to other sites that offer more information on the cups themselves and the types of spouts available for the right sippy cups.

If you are worried about paying shipping and handling charges when ordering online, just average out the cost to purchase a new sippy cup.  Include the cost of your time to drive to and from the store, the cost of the gas that you will use, and the time you will need to be in the store shopping verses the time it takes to sit at a keyboard, go to a website, type in your info to place and order.  All of the work after that is done for you.  You may need to go to your mailbox.  Costs are all relevant.  By sitting at the keyboard, you have helped the environment as well.  You aren’t gassing up your car and adding to the air pollution.  You are freeing up your time to do other things at home and you are ordering products that will help to save our landfills from excess plastic.  All of those things should make a Greensburg mom feel pretty good about herself.

The new green Nuby has already started selling two new wildly popular no spill sippy cups that you can get at Walmart right now and will soon be available online.  These cups don’t have notches and don’t need lined up and will also have replacement spouts in the near future.  There may be other brands that have the replacement spouts available as well, however, the Nuby brand seems to be the one that is making theirs more widely available.

Greensburg moms can go green simply by keeping their perfectly good Nuby sippy cups for use over and over again.  If the cup is getting milky looking, or the lids don’t seem to fit, you may want to consider giving them up at that point.  One way to use these older cups would be in the garage.  You can put nails, bolts, screws, nuts and other small objects in them to organize and save storage space.  You may also be able to use them to transport cheerios or other snacks since you still have a lid with a spout on it.  You can offer them to your child’s teacher for use in an art project. 

Not everyone is a fan of the Nuby sippy cup.  Sometimes they leak when it seems as though they shouldn’t.  Other times the notches on the cups don’t seem to line up the right way.  But overall, for the price and functionality, they are a very good sippy cup.  Moms who use other sippy cups can still be responsible by reusing their plastic sippy cups in other ways if their manufacturer doesn’t offer replacement spouts. 

There must be other ideas that environmentally conscious Greensburg moms can come up with as well.  Have any?

The sippy cup may be too worn out to use for drinking, but the cups can still be used.  This keeps the plastics out of the landfills longer, saves everyone money in the long run, and makes for a brighter future for our children.  You can feel great if you take this one simple step to keep the plastics out of the landfill as long as you can. 

Many Latrobe moms bring their children to the Legion Keener playground.  This fantastic set up is all made of wood and is low lying so many of the toddlers can climb around and have fun just like the big kids.  When the kids get thirsty, you will see quite a few Nuby sippy cups, a BPA (bisphenol A free) brand of sippy cup in their hands and on the picnic tables. 

There are other types of sippy cups as well, but the Nuby sippy cup can provide the discerning, green minded Latrobe mom, with a way to help save our environment.  Nuby sippy cups which are manufactured by a company called “Luv n Care” now make replacement spouts for several of their sippy cups.  The replacements come in 2″ wide spouts which fit the tall, 10 oz Nuby sippy gripper cups that don’t have handles.  The second type is the Nuby Sport Sipper spout which is a 10 or 12 oz sippy cup that has rubber like grips on the sides and has a spout that looks like a straw at the top.  Those spouts also measure 2″ across the spout.  The third kind is the wide mouth spout which fits the 10 oz, two handle, no spill Nuby sippy cup.  This size measures 2 3/4 inches across and is only available for that particular sippy cup.

You can find out more about the way the Nuby products look by clicking this link to the Nuby website.  You will find the different sippy cups shown and the spouts listed.  Residents of Latrobe PA will find Nuby sippy cups at their local Walmart Store, sometimes at the Giant Eagle, and possibly at some of the larger drug stores.  They are also sold in Greensburg PA at Target, Toys R Us, and Burlington.  The problem is that you may be able to find the sippy cups, but most likely you won’t find the replacement spouts.  Those are sold mainly online.  You will find them on Ebay and on many e-commerce websites.  All you have to do is go to google and type in nuby sippy cups and you will see the search results.  You can also type in nuby replacement spouts and see the search results as well.

If paying for shipping seems to be of concern, you still want to keep the environment in mind each time you throw away a perfectly good Nuby sippy cup.  If the local stores don’t have the replacements or are out of stock, even with the shipping charges, you are still saving some money.  In addition, to determne whether paying for shipping is worth it, you need to factor in your time to get to and from the store, your gas to get to and from the store, your family’s time whether you have to pack the kids up in the car or get a sitter to watch them while you shop.  More and more Latrobe moms are letting their fingers do the shopping through their internet keyboards. 

Nuby is in the process of making replacement spouts for one of their newest cups that is already on the market in many places.  You will want to keep an eye out for that one as well.  Latrobe moms can make a difference in the environment when they simply keep their sippy cups until they wear out.  That way they will not pollute the landfills with unnecessary plastic.  Help go green Latrobe moms, even in this very simple way.

Many Greensburg moms are using plastic sippy cups, including Nuby sippy cups, for their little ones.  Since all of the controversy over BPA (bisphenol A, a chemical found to be carcinogenic in large quantities) came to light, more parents are purchasing BPA free products for their children.  It would be good for the parents to take note that while they are concerned for their children’s health, they should be aware that bottled water in plastic bottles, which many use to mix formula, contains BPA.  Purchasing BPA free products is one step in the right direction toward saving our environment by helping to eliminate products that contain toxic chemicals.

In addition, Greensburg moms are starting to save our landfills from depositing their plastic sippy cups in the trash.  Instead of throwing away perfectly good cups, they are finding companies that will provide replacement spouts or replacement lids and tops for their sippy cups.  Some of the manufacturers of the plastic sippy cups are starting to manufacture replacement parts for their sippy cups.  One of those manufacturers is the Luv n Care company which makes the Nuby products which are sold worldwide.  Their brand name is called “Nuby which come in different sizes.

The Nuby sippy cups have been very successful, but now they are even more popular because families can now buy the Nuby replacement parts for their two most popular sippy cups. Many families are still not aware that these are available. The first replacement part is for the tall, 10 oz Nuby sippy gripper cup. It comes packaged in a sealed hard plastic with two spouts. They fit only the Nuby sippy cups and they measure about two inches from end to end.

This is the first cup that makes transitioning from bottle to sippy cup very easy for a baby. The spouts are made of 100% medical grade soft silicone so they have the same feel as the baby bottle, but they are not nipples. They are practical and for the most part, unless abused and the valves break, they don’t leak. They sell for anywhere from $1.99 per pack up to $3.00 per pack.

The second Nuby replacement part is for the two handled, no spill, 10 oz. Nuby sippy cup. This spout measures about 2 3/4 inches from side to side and will fit only this sippy cup. This cup is very popular with toddlers who just can’t hold onto the gripper cup. They typically will transition from either of these cups to a regular cup fairly quickly. The cups are great to have though, especially for trips because they do not leak for the most part.

The main reason the valves break is because when babies start to get their teeth, they like to chew on the soft silicone. That, in turn, breaks a valve or two and causes the cup to leak. The warnings inside the package tell parents not to let their children chew on the spouts, but most still do anyway. The best thing to do is to take the cup away by substituting something in it’s place, like a teething ring, or a chew toy so the spouts last longer.

The spouts come in small or larger quantities. They can be found at stores like Target or Baby Depot, however, even when they are found, the stores are typically sold out. They can be found on Ebay and in other online stores available 24/7. You can visit http://shop.nubysippycup.com for more information on these and other Nuby replacement parts.

Now you don’t have to throw your sippy cup out. Nuby has come up with several replacement products whether it be Nuby Playtex Replacement Straws, or Nuby sippy cup replacement spouts for the 10 oz. Nuby sippy cup or the Nuby replacement spouts for the 10 oz, two handle sippy cup. They have also made BPA free replacement valves for the harder, 9 oz sippy cups.

With all of these choices, there is no reason to have to throw a perfectly good sippy cup away. The Nuby Playtex replacement straws include: These also fit the leak-proof replacement straws for the Playtex QuickStraw Bottle.

Includes in the package:

1 Valve

1 Silicone Straw

2 Long Plastic Straws – the plastic straw can be cut to fit your cup.

The model number is: UR7855

These fit the Nuby Flip-It Sport Sipper Straw Sippy Cup. You can find these by typing in google.com and the product name or you can visit : http://shop.nubysippycup.com for some great deals on many of the replacement spouts mentioned above.

If you are having issues with any of your Nuby products, do not call or contact the distributors or the retailers you purchased your items from online. They are only distributors. Your best chance of getting help is to contact the Luv ‘n Care company directly. (see the Nuby toll free number below)

The Nuby company toll free phone number after a few prompts, will get you through to a customer service rep during normal business hours. They will carefully listen to your issue and provide a solution.

Before you contact them, if your Nuby sippy cup is leaking, be sure to check that you did not put it in the dishwasher on the bottom rack so that any parts became warped or distorted. Make sure that when you put the lid on the sippy cup that the notches on both the lid and on the silicone spout itself are lined up. Be sure that you have screwed the lid on straight as many leaks occur when the lids are on crooked.

If you have a baby who is teething, make sure you check the spouts inside for tears or rips. Sometimes babies and toddlers like to poke at the spout opening and that will cause your cups to leak.

If you have a two handled Nuby sippy cup and it is leaking, make sure you check the line up. These cups seem to leak more often than any of the other cups, but the Luv ‘n Care rep said that they can check to see if there was a bad batch of spouts by the model numbers.

It is important to keep in mind that the Nuby customer service department wants to be helpful so approach them in a kind way, even if you are frustrated.

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

If you ever purchase any Nuby product that you have a problem with, Luv n Care customer service is wonderful and they will make every attempt to help correct the problem. You can reach them at their corporate offices in writing or by phone at:
