Operating Instructions
Drinking from the Cup
The unique weighted straw design ensures that the straw always remains submerged in the liquid, regardless of the cup's angle. This allows your child to drink comfortably whether sitting upright, reclining, or even lying down. The easy-grip handles are designed for small hands, promoting independent drinking.

Troubleshooting
Addressing Leaks
If your sippy cup is leaking, please check the following:
- Lid Seal: Ensure the lid is twisted securely onto the cup base until you hear the "click" sound, indicating the Click Lock Technology is engaged.
- Straw Valve: Verify that the small valve at the top of the straw is fully pushed into place. If it's not properly seated, it can cause leaks.
- Component Integrity: Inspect all parts for any cracks, tears, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
