Sippy Straw vs Little Sipper: Which Cup to Choose

Quick answer

Choose the Little Sipper for a soft, non-spill spout that eases the transition from bottle to cup, and pick the Sippy Straw 2pk when your toddler is ready for a straw and needs a larger, grab-and-go bottle for active outings.

Why the sipping style matters most

The biggest difference between these two cups is how your child drinks. The Little Sipper uses a soft silicone spout that mimics a bottle teat, making it ideal for babies who are just learning to sip independently. The Sippy Straw 2pk, on the other hand, has a 100% soft silicone straw that requires a slightly different sucking motion—one that many toddlers pick up naturally but that some find challenging at first.

If your baby has been using a bottle and struggles with straws, the Little Sipper’s familiar feel can reduce frustration. If your toddler already drinks from a straw cup or seems curious about straws, the Sippy Straw 2pk offers a more advanced, mess-free experience.

Capacity and portability trade-offs

The Sippy Straw 2pk has a generous 350ml capacity and a grab-and-go handle, making it a great choice for longer outings or thirsty toddlers. The Little Sipper is smaller and more compact, which suits short trips or mealtime practice at home.

Both cups include a hygiene cover, but the Sippy Straw 2pk’s larger size and handle make it easier for active kids to carry themselves. The Little Sipper’s interchangeable handles and lids let you adapt the cup as your child grows, but it holds less liquid.

Cleaning and material considerations

Both cups are BPA, latex, and phthalate free, and both are easy to clean. The Little Sipper’s spout is simple to rinse, while the Sippy Straw 2pk’s straw may need a small brush for thorough cleaning—something to keep in mind if you’re short on time.

Both are made from EarthSmart® materials that biodegrade in landfill without leaving microplastics, so either choice supports a more sustainable nursery.
