What is the ultimate toddler cup?

Help me find the ultimate toddler cup!
I'm looking for a cup that fits these criteria:
1. Has a screw-on lid
2. Does NOT have a sippy-type spout (I prefer other types, like straw spouts)
3. If it has a straw spout, the straw mechanism shouldn't come apart into three or four pieces to be washed
4. A no-spill feature in the straw/spout that ensures that our toddler can't get water/juice out of it no matter how hard he shakes it or how determined he is
Any suggestions?

We use a Klean Kanteen with a sippy cup spout, though we have moved onto a sport spout.

We have this one by thermos, and we are really happy with it.

I found a set of Contigo autoseal cups at Costco last year, and we've been pretty happy with them.

Seconding Foogoo - pricey, but a brand you should be looking into.

We love the Munchkin Might Grip Flip Straw cups. As does our son. It's pretty good on spillage, too, unless you don't screw the cap on quite right, and then some can leak out the side. But other than that, no complaints, easy to clean, and easy for a toddler to drink from.
We've tried a bunch of other brands, but found this one is really the best of the ones we've tried.

Best answer: UKians tend to rave about Tommy Tippee products.
Note: you can select products based on your child's age.

Best answer: We have this one from Tommy Tippee. It seems to match all your criteria and it's seriously leak-proof.

We tried a lot and settled on the Munchkin flip ones for normal use and Foogo for travel/days out. The Foogo ones insulate really well but are bulky and heavy.

Response by poster: We got the Tommy Tippee cup. How can you not want a cup designed by physicists?

And a bonus...they are virtually indestructible and do not retain smells!
