Recommended models: Penguin cups, straw cups, natural sip cups
Avent is a world-renowned British brand that has set the benchmark since its inception in 1984, capturing 60% of the UK market share with wide-mouth bottles. After being acquired by Philips in 2006, Avent's maternal and infant small household appliances have become more complete, including breast pumps, monitors, bottle warmers and sterilizers, etc., which have been exported to more than 60 countries and won various awards from the world's authorities, including the German Red Dot Award "the best of the best", the iF 2017 Award, the British LBP Best Feeding Product, and the 2016 Chinese Brand of the Year.
Compared with other brands, there are not many styles of Avent's water cups, only three, but they already include three mainstream categories: duckbill cups, straw cups and sip cups, and all of them have a good reputation in the market, emphasizing that they are tooth-friendly, easy for babies to accept, and convenient for transition. There are relatively many color choices for its products, and the price is between 59-89 yuan, which is cost-effective.
The Penguin Cup, which helps babies transition from bottles to cups, is the most well-known product of Avent, which has the advantage that babies are easy to accept, complete the transition smoothly, and can also be interchangeable with the brand's wide-mouth product accessories (except glass bottles), which is very friendly to many consumers who use Avent wide-mouth bottles, and the angle of the duck beak has been adjusted to reduce the baby's excessive head up during the sipping process. However, due to the fact that the penguin cup is designed for small babies, in order to ensure smooth water discharge, the leak-proof function is lacking, so it is not recommended to put it in a bag and use it outside, there is a risk of sprinkling.
Both Avent straw cups and natural sip cups are recommended by dentists in the United States, with 86% and 77% of dentists recommending them respectively in a 2016 independent online survey in the United States. Among them, the straw cup is very easy to use, even if the cap is difficult to close, the leak-proof function is much better than the penguin cup, but it should be noted that it is easy to be top-heavy when the amount of water is small. The natural sip cup is a lip-controlled drinking product with a dustproof lid, but the lid is a PE product, so it is best not to sterilize it with hot water.
