Need a safe straw cup that is spill proof

[Guest guest]

Right now we are using munckin brand straw plastic cups. Can someone tell me

where I can find safe spill proof cups that use a straw? My boys will only

drink from a straw.

tastes really good and icey cold when you pull it from the Kleen Kanteen jug

from the fridge.
