Gerber Sip & Smile Sippy Cup

Since I know a lot of people browse this forum, I figured I'd ask this question here.

My boys LOVE the Gerber Sip & Smile sippy cups. They do the best with them. However, I HATE them. They're shaped funny & I CANNOT for the life of me line the cup handles up with the cup. Since the cup is shaped funny, it makes the space by the handles uneven & hard to deal with. It's too hard to describe without a picture, which I don't have.

SO, for any of you who have used these sippies, is there a secret to line them up right???????????????

PLEASE HELP!

 

I used Gerber sippies (not sure of the particular type) with mine when they were younger and I also had a hard time lining up the handles. I ended up switching to the Playtex Sipsters. They were wonderful. I liked how the handles were attached to the lid so they were always lined up. If you don't find the answer you're looking for then you may want to try a different cup.

 

I have the same problem. I actually wrote Gerber about the problem and got a bunch of free coupons for doing so. They didn't have any tips. I did find that as I used them more frequently, they just seemed to line up, not always perfectly but good enough so the kids can fit their hands in them. I also bough the ones without the handles and are slightly bigger, those work nice too.

 

We have these cups and we love them. As far as lining them up, I just start turning them and then have to use a little muscle to get them to line up w/ the angled part. It is hard to explain how we do it.
