   Just wondering if anyone uses one of these? My DS is always wanting to drink out of my glass/cup and with help does so successfully. At what age would you recommend these cups if you have been using one...I know the packaging says 18 months. 
 Useful or just a gimmick?

   Sorry no advice on the 360, but my DD just uses a normal cup (we have a melamine glass she usually uses, or jsut a normal glass that we take away once shes done with) she doesnt spill it or throw it, it might be worth a shot if you dont want to buy something that he will out grow in a few months?

   We used one for a while, think I got it around 11 or 12 months. DD loved it! 
 The only problem with it is that the seal at the top starts leaking after a while (maybe cos to wash it you take it on and off?) and if I took the cup out and about when I came to take the lid off water would fly everywhere.

   We got one for DS years ago, it was AWESOME in terms of we could take it anywhere, and no worries about leaks, and it gave him confidence witha  real cup.
I think he started on it about 1?
 
 With DD, because of daycares philosophy ( they use glasses from word go) we just went to a cup, and while we pour piss all water in it, she manages well now at just turned 1.

   I saw them in babycity yesterday so brought one for DD. She dropped it as soon as she was given it and its leaked since. Really frustrating.

   We have the amadeuas I think it is. DD loves it, she was already learning to drink from a cup unintentionally when I forgot to take a bottle with me to a kids party so we just started her on a cup. I use it when we're out, more then anything started her on it at about 15mths probably could have gone earlier but I hadn't heard of them. She drinks from a sippy spout and has since about 10mths. But now at 22mths she is great with a cup and can handle them fine thats with us using both a real cup and the 360cup.
