Our sippy cup drawer is overflowing and I'm thisclose to chucking everything and starting fresh.

What kind of cups you your 2-year olds use when out and about?

We're working on using a regular open cup when she's sitting in her chair at home, but I'm looking for recs for:
- Something she can take to daycare (for milk), and
- Something we can bring with us on outings (water/juice)

We are loving the Playtex straw cups. The straw flips inside the lid, so they work great for travel. The only think I don't like about them is that the pressure will build up inside the cup (as the temperature changes), so if the cup is not used for a little while (like it is sitting on the table), the liquid will start to spill out of the top of the straw. They aren't insulated, but I usually take water and not milk when we go out, so that isn't an issue for us.

We also occasionally use the Take and Toss straw cups at home, but they aren't spill proof when DD knocks them over or throws them on the floor.

For open cup drinking, we use these cups that DD's OT recommended.

We use these for out and about

We use take and toss straw cups and regular open cups at home.

We were a mixed bag of sorts. For milk at home and sometimes when were out we'd use the Avent cups with the Sippy Spouts (http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AVENT-Magic-Spouts-Months/dp/B0000CED7N/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1302623333&sr=8-5). We also had a Klean Kanteen (which uses Avent spouts), Playtex cups (http://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Sipster-Cup-Pack-Colors/dp/B000056JAK/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1302623119&sr=1-2), and Gerber cups (http://www.amazon.com/NUK-Gerber-Smile-Spill-Colors/dp/B000RFG066/ref=sr_1_5?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1302623174&sr=1-5). For travel we usually just used Take N Toss cups, but DD always ended up biting the tops off of them.

For milk I would do either the Avent cup because it has a lid or the Klean Kanteen sippy. We did use a few straw cups from either Nuby or Gerber and those were okay, but I absolutely hate cleaning straw cups.

We use a regular cycling water bottle for water when out and about. It's a lot like this one (http://www.camelbak.com/Sports-Recreation/Bottles/Podium-Bottle-24oz.aspx).

I just use the Thermos ones with a straw. I've used them ever since DD was just past a year and they're still going strong!

We are using Nuby cups. DH likes to use the take n toss cups as well.
