sippy cup

Spill-proof child vessel

A sippy cup is a drinking cup for young children, fitted with a lid and spout that prevents spills when knocked over.

The design lets toddlers drink independently without soaking themselves or the furniture.

The term sometimes appears figuratively to suggest immaturity: Maybe we should get him a sippy cup.
