But between the bottle (which they have mastered) and the standard glass (which they knock over every time), there is a missing transition step. The <strong>360-degree training cup<\/strong> meets this exact need: an object that mimics the feel of real glass, but without the risk of disaster every time you use it.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the 360\u00b0 system work?<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike training cups or straw cups, this beaker allows baby to drink <strong>all the way round<\/strong>, exactly like a conventional cup. The secret: a flexible silicone valve that opens only when the baby's lips apply pressure. When the cup is put down or knocked over, the valve closes automatically \u2014 not a single drop escapes.<\/p>\n<p>This technology has two major advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Baby is learning the right way<\/strong> right from the start \u2014 no mouthpiece that alters mouth posture<\/li>\n<li><strong>No spill<\/strong> you can leave the glass on the table without worry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3 colours to suit all tastes<\/h2>\n<h3>Choose the colour that will appeal to baby<\/h3>\n<p>Our training cup comes in 3 soft colours designed to blend into any kitchen and nursery decor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blue<\/strong> \u2014 a comforting classic that appeals to children and adults alike<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green<\/strong> \u2014 a fresh, natural tone, perfect for a modern kitchen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pink<\/strong> \u2014 soft and luminous, elegant for any mood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note: no colour is reserved for any gender. A little boy will love soft pink, a little girl might fall for deep blue. Choose according to baby's tastes or your kitchen decor.<\/p>\n<h2>Why favour this system?<\/h2>\n<h3>A natural transition to traditional glass<\/h3>\n<p>Paediatricians recommend limiting bottle use after 12\u201318 months to prevent dental problems (early childhood caries) and encourage proper jaw development. But switching abruptly to a standard glass can be frustrating for a baby \u2014 who spills, gets wet, and ends up refusing to drink independently.<\/p>\n<p>The 360\u00b0 cup provides this ideal transition: baby learns the exact posture of a \u00abbig cup\u00bb, but without the frustration of spills. After a few months of use, they will be ready to move on to a traditional cup almost effortlessly.<\/p>\n<h3>Advantages compared to other systems<\/h3>\n<p>To help you compare with the other sippy cups on the market:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>sippy cup<\/strong> The 360\u00b0 cup better prepares for the posture of a traditional glass. The spout ultimately delays the transition to a normal glass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>vs sippy cup<\/strong> The straw is useful, but it doesn't replicate the action of drinking from a cup. Combine it with a 360\u00b0 cup to vary the learning experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>vs Standard glass<\/strong> too early, the traditional cup causes a lot of spills and frustration. The 360\u00b0 is an ideal stepping stone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\ud83d\udccb Features<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background: #FDF6F0;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>System<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">360\u00b0 cup with spill-proof silicone valve<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">260 ml<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: #FDF6F0;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">120 \u00d7 112 \u00d7 92 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Material<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">BPA-free food-grade plastic + silicone valve<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: #FDF6F0;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Available colours<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">3 colours: Blue, Green, Pink<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Handles<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">Ergonomic, suited to small hands<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: #FDF6F0;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Recommended age<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">From 6 months old<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Care<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">Dishwasher safe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: #FDF6F0;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Security<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">In accordance with European CE standards \u2014 BPA-free, phthalate-free<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\"><strong>Delivery time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border: 0.5px solid #D4B5A0;\">5 to 12 days \u2014 free EU delivery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>When and how should this glass be introduced?<\/h2>\n<h3>The step-by-step introduction<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>At 6 months<\/strong> offer the glass filled with water or milk at room temperature at the end of the meal.
