Product Description
The Mitour Penguin Baby Cup is a 300ml silicone training cup designed for the transition stage when babies move from bottles to independent drinking and self-feeding. The key problem it solves: parents need a single product that works for both liquids (milk, juice, water) and dry snacks — without requiring two separate items in a diaper bag, and without producing a spill every time the baby moves.
The set ships with three components that convert the same cup body into different functions. Attach the straw lid for drink training — the short silicone straw teaches toddlers to sip rather than gulp, supporting the developmental transition from bottle-feeding. Swap to the petal-shaped snack lid for dry snacks: the flower-petal silicone baffle is soft enough for a baby's hand to push through and retrieve snacks, but firm enough to hold snacks in place when the cup is tilted or turned upside down. The cup body alone works as an open training cup once the child is ready.
The penguin character design — bilateral handles forming the "wings," a white belly graphic panel, and a rounded body — is engineered as a self-learning grip aid. The bilateral handles are sized and positioned for 6-month+ hand spans, giving toddlers a stable two-hand hold that reduces drops and encourages independent holding. The entire cup is made from platinum-grade food-grade silicone: soft enough that drops don't crack or shatter, and firm enough to hold shape in a child's grip.

The same 300ml cup body serves three distinct feeding functions by swapping the lid:
Configuration | Function | Age Stage |
Cup body + straw lid | Sippy/straw training drink cup | 6 months+ |
Cup body + petal snack lid | Self-serve snack container | 8 months+ |
Cup body only (open top) | Open training cup | 12 months+ |
Buyers sourcing for Amazon or retail value the 3-in-1 positioning because it extends product life across developmental stages — parents don't replace it when the child moves to the next feeding milestone.
The snack lid uses a petal/flower-shaped silicone baffle that opens when a baby pushes a hand in and closes when the hand is withdrawn. This "silicone stop design" prevents snacks from spilling when the cup is tilted, shaken, or placed upside down — the most common failure point of hard-plastic snack cups with rigid openings. The soft silicone petals do not pinch or scratch the baby's skin.
Unlike standard food-grade silicone, platinum-grade silicone (platinum-cured silicone) has no residual byproducts from the curing process, which eliminates the faint rubbery smell common in lower-grade silicone baby products. Babies routinely mouth cup handles and lids — platinum-grade certification provides an important safety and marketing distinction for brands positioning in the premium baby products segment.
The bilateral handles are integrated into the penguin body design at a height and angle calibrated for 6-month+ grip development. The loop size fits small hands while the smooth rounded profile has no sharp edges or protrusions. The handle surface is the same soft silicone as the cup body — non-slip even when wet, which matters for babies learning to hold cups during messy meals.
Plastic toddler cups crack or shatter on hard floors, creating sharp edges and small pieces that are choking hazards. Mitour's silicone cup flexes on impact and returns to its original shape. Verified drop-resistant construction is a core purchase criterion for parents and is consistently highlighted in reviews for silicone baby products over plastic alternatives.
The penguin character design is a functional engagement tool, not just visual styling. Children who associate a character with an object are more likely to reach for it independently and engage with self-feeding earlier. The white belly panel adds visual contrast that helps infants focus on the cup. The compact body (119mm tall, fits one-hand carry by a parent or two-hand hold by a toddler) makes it equally usable at home, in a highchair, or in a bag.

Q1: What does "3-in-1" mean for this cup?
The set includes three components: the silicone cup body, a straw sippy lid (for liquid training), and a petal-shaped silicone snack baffle lid (for dry snacks). The cup body converts between drink cup and snack cup by swapping the lid, and can also be used as an open training cup without any lid. All three configurations use the same 300ml cup body.
Q2: What age is this cup designed for?
The cup is suitable for babies 6 months and older. The bilateral handles support early grip development from 6 months; the straw lid is appropriate for drink training from 6–8 months; the snack lid is appropriate once babies begin self-feeding finger foods, typically 8–10 months and beyond.
Q3: What is platinum-grade silicone, and why does it matter for baby products?
Platinum-grade silicone (also called platinum-cured silicone) uses a platinum catalyst in the curing process instead of peroxide. This results in a silicone with no residual curing byproducts, which eliminates the faint odor present in peroxide-cured silicone. For baby products — where the child will mouth the handles, lid, and straw — platinum-grade silicone provides a higher safety standard than standard food-grade silicone.
Q4: Can the cup be turned upside down without snacks falling out?
Yes, when the petal snack baffle lid is attached. The silicone petal design uses a "stop mechanism" — the petals return to a closed position when not held open by a hand. The cup can be tilted and inverted without snacks spilling freely. Very small or granular snacks (powder, very fine crumbs) may pass through the petal gaps; the lid is designed for finger-food size snacks (puffs, small crackers, cereal pieces).
Q5: Is this cup dishwasher safe?
Yes. All three components — cup body, straw lid, and snack lid — are dishwasher safe. Top rack placement is recommended for lids to prevent deformation from direct heating element proximity. The silicone does not absorb odors or staining from dishwasher detergent under normal use.
Q6: Can the straw be replaced or purchased separately?
Replacement components can be arranged for OEM orders at volume. For standard retail sets, the straw lid is included as a complete unit. Contact Mitour to discuss spare part packaging or accessory set configurations for your retail line.
Q7: What is the capacity, and how does it compare to standard sippy cups?
The cup holds 300ml (approximately 10 fl oz), which is consistent with standard toddler sippy cup capacity. This volume suits milk, juice, or water portions for infants and toddlers without requiring frequent refills during meals.
Q8: What colors are available, and can I order custom colors for my brand?
Standard stock colors are Lemon Yellow, Grey, and Black. Custom Pantone colors are available for OEM orders, subject to MOQ requirements. Color can be specified for the cup body, lid, and handle components independently.
Q9: What certifications does Mitour provide for this product?
The standard product uses platinum-grade food-grade silicone meeting FDA (US) and LFGB (EU) standards. REACH compliance documentation, EN71 (EU toy safety), and other market-specific certifications are available on request. Please specify your target market when requesting a quote so we can confirm the required certification package.
Q10: What is the minimum order quantity for OEM or private label orders?
MOQ varies by customization scope. Standard color orders with logo typically start at 500–1,000 units per SKU. Custom color or new character mold development requires higher minimums. Contact Mitour with your target quantity, colors, packaging requirements, and destination market for a precise quotation and sample arrangement.
