Product Description Let’s face it: toddlers are a messy bunch, especially when first navigating Sippy cups. Now imagine a world in which drinks didn’t spill at all not in your diaper bag, not on your furniture, and not even onto your eagerness to learn child. No, it’s not a miracle, exactly it’s munchkin’s miracle 360˚ cup. The first Sippy cup invented with both parents and kids in mind, the miracle 360˚ trainer cup eliminates messes and supports kids’ dental health all at once. Drinking from anywhere around the rim, like a regular cup, helps support normal muscle development in a child’s mouth. And with no extra spouts, straws or pieces, the miracle 360˚ cup is easy to use and even easier to clean. We’ll say cheers to that.6 plus months. Caution to prevent burns, do not microwave or use with hot liquids. Do not let the child walk or run while carrying the cup. Do not allow the child to play, bite or chew on the valve. Do not use with carbonated beverages or pulpy juices. By Munchkin. Brand Story By Munchkin

It does not spill if tilted over. It works great to teach kids how to drink from a regular cup without all the mess.

I am a nanny and recommend these to all the parents I work with! They are easy for the children to use and no mess.

The cup is light and easy to hold for my 20 month old. It is easy to take apart to clean but there is a spot on the bottom of the lid that I foresee will be hard to get clean. I gave my child water in this cup and it didn’t spill! WAHOO! There will be a little bit of a learning curve for my toddler to learn how to suck on the corner of the cup but once he learns I think he’ll like it.

this is great, does not spill except when my son decides to use it as a hammer on our coffee table. cleaning has been easy so far, but will see how in the long term if stuff collects under the rim.

*** See below for update ***
Like many parents, we struggled to find the best way to teach our little girl to drink from a cup. We tried various forms of sippy cups, but she couldn’t seem to figure out how the mouthpiece worked. And we didn’t want to start with regular cups because the water would end up everywhere.
Then I stumbled across these. I have to say, I’m VERY impressed by the ingenious simplicity of their design. There are three pieces: the cup itself, a white two-handled "lid" that has lots of tiny holes in it, and a silicone "cap" that snaps into the lid. When the cup is tilted, liquid inside it passes through the holes in the lid but is stopped by the silicone cap. Applying a bit of downward pressure on the edge of the cap creates a small opening which allows liquid to flow out from beneath the cap, but only where the pressure was applied. So when our little one raises the cup to drink from it, nothing actually flows from it until she puts it to her mouth and a little pressure from her teeth/gums creates an opening in the silicone cap.
This cup has been indispensable for helping our daughter learn to drink small amounts of water.
Some things I really like about this cup:
1) It’s very sturdy. This cup has landed on the floor many times and shows no signs of damage.
2) It’s about as leak-proof as you can get for an infant/child cup. Our little one waves it around in the air, knocks it over, and occasionally launches it onto the floor. If it hits the floor hard a drop or two may spill, but that’s it.
3) The cup’s two handles make it easy for little hand to hold.
4) Your little one can drink from anywhere along the rim.
5) It is dishwasher safe.
The only [very small] complaint I have is that the silicone top can be a little tricky to separate from the cap. You just have to get a really firm grip on the center circle and pull hard. Fortunately both pieces are tough enough that it would be tough to damage either one in the process.
TIP: When we first tried this cup with our daughter, initially she couldn’t figure out how it "worked." Unlike her bottle, it has no nipple, and of course she didn’t realize that she had to press her upper gums/teeth against the silicone to get water to come out. So we actually removed the silicone top and then, holding the top of the cup against her lower lip, tilted the cup slowly to allow a little water to flow into the cap and then into her mouth. A couple of weeks later, when she seemed to understand the concept, we put the silicone top back on and she learned to bite down on it gently to make water come out. When doing this technique, note that the more full the cup is, the easier it is to control how much water enters the cap when you tilt it, so make sure the cup is fairly full when you try it.
Overall we couldn’t be happier with these cups! Highly recommended.

We still love these cups, but after several months of use we noticed they were developing black mold beneath the silicone ring that sits at the top of the threads on the cap. At first we were dismayed and thought we would have to throw all of the cups away. However, I removed all of the silicone rings from the caps, soaked everything in a vinegar solution, then scrubbed and washed the rings and caps thoroughly, and they are as good as new!
The point here is that even though these cups are dishwasher safe, you DO need to remove the silicone rings from time to time and wash them so mold doesn’t accumulate beneath them. At this point we remove the rings every time we wash the cups — they go into a small basket in our dishwasher along with the colored silicone tops — and we haven’t had any more problem with mold. It may be unnecessary to remove the rings every time you wash the cups, but for us it’s easier than trying to remember when we last did it.
So, a small extra step to be sure these cups are mold-free. It doesn’t take away from how much we like these cups!

Intuitive for kids, but I had a hard time believing the physics myself. Keeps liquid secure unless the cup is dropped or thrown, the impact causes the seal to break for a second and make a small mess. We ONLY put water in this, but it STILL NEEDS TO BE CLEANED periodically. Super easy for my baby/toddler to hold on his own and transition to drinking from cups by himself! Awesome product, will continue to recommend and purchase for the future!

I reduced it from 5 stars solely because it isn’t spill proof and that’s a major feature in the title. Otherwise it’s great. My 14 month old got impatient with her straw sippy cups and now refuses to use them so I was looking for something easy to use that she would like. And I got it. She loves them. But they do leak. Not a lot but I’ll find them tipped over in a small puddle in her crib and on the carpet. I’m glad they only have water in them.

These are really great cups! They are theoretically leak proof, but of course my child figured out that if you throw or bang the cups with enough force, water will spurt out because the silicone lid will get displaced for long enough to get water all over the floor. So parents of overactive children, beware! That being said, if used normally they are leak proof. They clean pretty easily and are way easier to drink from than many of the other cups we’ve tried. Overall, it’s a great product.

Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup
Wow, out of all the cups my boys have used this is the closest we’ve ever come to spill proof.
You can turn it upside down and on its side and no liquid comes out. While this cup is believably spill proof, it isn’t splatter proof. So when my twin boys launch it full force across the livingroom milk does splat all over the floor on impact but I feel like that is acceptable for a cup that hasn’t oozed milk, water or juice all over my furniture. The lid is great, somehow it manages to maximize suction to allow my toddlers to easily drink from it all while stopping anything from pouring, bubbling or oozing from the lid like other cups.
It is also surprisingly easy to clean. Like, mind blowingly easy. You just pop the rubber ring right out and pop it right back in after washing the cup.
I have only hand washed this cup so far, so I’m not entirely sure how well it will hold up in a dish washer.
I threw away all our other sippy cups so I haven’t had time to test out the dishwasher on it and honestly I dont think I will because I dont want to damage the ring accidentally.
Before this 360 cup we tried the First Year 360 Training cup and it was not spill proof, not splatter proof and not easy to clean. I had to use a butter knife to pry the plastic ring out every time I washed it. My boys also didn’t love it. It had a minimal amount of holes in the top (under the ring) so they had to really suck to get anything out. After a few months of use the ring developed a big hole in a spot that was presumably meant to allow air flow, so then it really poured liquid everywhere. I threw those things in the trash the first second I could. I really hate wasting money like that but the damage was already done so, bye bye First Year cup!
We have tried SOOOO many sippy cups. Cups with and without straws. For a while, if it said spill proof, I bought it. Let me tell you, none of those cups were even a little bit spill proof. My toddlers could destroy it within a day.
The Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup has completely blown my mind. I had zero expectations for this cup. I was pretty sure I was wasting money but I am so completely and totally pleased with these cups. I will be buying more and recommended it to all my friends with destructive toddlers like mine.

I bought this cup for my 15-months old daughter to replace the bottle. For background, I used several other options prior to this, starting at around 6 months of age. We used the EZPZ tiny cup, which still works but is an option that requires adult assistance and a place where spills are ok. We’ve also used a couple different straw cups – she can use both types independently and has mastered the concept of using a straw. She uses those at daycare and while sitting in the high chair or at the table, but they are not great options for laying down on the boppy, which is how she likes her morning and bedtime milk. The Munchkin weighted straw cup works relatively well, but I hate cleaning it – it’s such a pain. The other straw cup we have works well and is easy to clean, but the straw is a little bigger and my daughter has a harder time controling the amount of milk – plus, she loves to pull the straw out and dump out the liquid – so, good option for water, but not for milk. That’s how we landed on the 360 trainer cup.
Pros:
– allegedly dentist recommended (have not yet confirmed this with a pediatric dentist)
– recommended by occupational therapists as a good alternative to the traditional sippy cup that reinforces bad use of muscles that are needed for talking
– handles help child grab and hold the cup well
– child can drink from any side of the rim
– does not spill during gentle child play or if tipped
– closest to an open-cup without the need for adult assistance
– my daughter figured out how to use it within seconds (at age 15mo)
Cons
– spills if thrown or dropped on the floor
– child needs to tilt head back to drink the second half of the liquid (it’s a little challenging to finish the last oz of it)
– use requires adult supervision because a notable amount of liquid comes out at a time and inexperienced toddlers can choke from drinking too much too fast (I would not say this is a life-threatening situation per se, but would not recommend going into the next room while the child is using it)
– not my kid’s favorite, but she is adjusting to it (I think she is still hoping we will go back to bottles, so not necessarily the fault of the cup) – a couple weeks later, she’s using this like a pro
– can’t use in the microwave
