Reviews -- Why the lil chiller™?
Advancing to a
straw cup encourages more refined movement of the tongue muscles including
tongue tip elevation and tongue retraction. This does not occur with
sipper cups as children are able to continue "suckling" and can
reinforce forward thrusting of the tongue. --
Jackie M. Allen, MS, CCC-SLP, pediatric speech and language pathologist
"The Lil' Chiller™cup is a great choice for parents.
The cup is lightweight and has a great texture around the edge. This keeps
the cup from slipping out of little hands. Compared to other straw cups, it
is easy to clean and the spillage is very minimal. The clever straw design
does not allow children to pull the straw out and "spray" juice or milk all
over the place. The straw is sturdy and does not collapse when bitten.
Although it is long, the width makes it easier to suck from. Using a straw
cup is a much better option than a sippy cup for many children. It promotes
oral-motor skills needed for feeding and communication."
--Angie Folczyk, OTR/L, pediatric occupational therapist
"This cup was the answer to our prayers!
Our son's speech therapist suggested he drink from a cup with a straw as
much as possible. I found these and we LOVE them. The kids can't pull the
straw out and fling juice or milk everywhere. We now have one in every
color!" --Jennifer, mom of 2
"They are easy for my kids to
grip and they don't tip over as easily as other cups. All kids love drinking
through straws. My kids are too old for sippy cups but the cups still have
lids which cuts down on spills. They're still fun while not looking like
"baby cups" -- Tricia, mom of 4
