Great Tumbler
This tumbler was perfect for my 9 year old grandson. I wanted a vacuum sealed tumbler for cold or hot beverages. This comes with a tightly sealed lid with straw hole and drinking pop-up spout. Two metal straws and a straw brush included. Straw hole is not spill proof in that the straw is smaller in circumference than hole. Mouth spout pop-up flips outward but you must close it for non-spill feature plus close the straw hole with the rubber stopper in order for entire lid to be spill proof. I think this tumbler is great for an older child and one who knows the tumbler is not completely spill proof when drinking from it or for a child who is somewhat coordinated in dexterity. Otherwise, I love it and my grandson thought it was so cool, he wanted an extra one. Yes, I ordered a second one to have at my sister’s house who doesn’t have small children anymore. It keeps drinks cold and hot for hours. I just wanted a little safety of spillage at the table since I knew my grandson is ready for this type of at home table tumbler. This tumbler is a bit better than the paper cup lid and straw containers you get at fast food restaurants in that the lid will not come off easily at all. But it has the same vulnerability of spillage through the straw or drinking spout. BUT…IT IS SPILL PROOF IF YOU CLOSE UP THE STRAW HOLE WITH RUBBER STOPPER AND YOUR CLOSE THE AIR TIGHT SIPPING SPOUT!! So that’s a plus. Note: I will replace the metal straws with silicone straws since my grandson doesn’t care much for metal “taste” in his mouth. I ordered silicone straws the same size of the metal straws through Amazon. I plan to make hot chocolate for winter. This tumbler will come in handy without getting hot on the outside and convenience of closing the straw stopper and drinking spout air tight to keep the drink hot and from spilling. It’s way better than giving a child a hot ceramic mug. Plus this tumbler is light weight. Ceramic mugs are much heavier and can break into pieces if dropped. No worries with this tumbler doing that.
