Favorite Kids Water Bottles (Baby, Toddler, Big Kid)

Take the work out of finding a kids water bottle that lasts, is durable, and is easy to clean with our top picks. Find fully vetted reviews on baby water bottles, toddler water bottles, and water bottles for big kids.

Kids Water Bottles

Keeping the kids hydrated can often feel like an uphill climb, but having a water bottle the kids can access throughout the day is the simplest way to help. And, these bottles are ready to go on the road or in a backpack so you can take them when you head out of the house to activities, walks, games, or for travel.

I have talked a lot about sippy cups and keep my post with my top picks updated, but I wanted to dive a little deeper into water bottles since they are often different from what you’d use around the house for milk and smoothies.

In this post I will share tips on choosing the best kids water bottle, what to look for, the top picks for babies aged 6-12 months, toddlers, and big kids—all with info vetted by real parents. Plus, you’ll find bottles that fit into cup holders, a variety of ounces, dishwasher-safe options (though all are easy to clean with hand-washing), and more.

My goal is to help you avoid wasting money on bottles that won’t last and to provide the kids with a bottle that’s easy to drink from.

How to Choose a Water Bottle

Here are some tips that may help when choosing a water bottle:

  • What material do I prefer for my kids?
  • What requirements do I have (if any), such as preference for a straw cup, dishwasher safe, easy to replace parts, and/or spill proof?
  • Do I need an insulated bottle to keep water cold or is room temperature okay?
  • Am I willing to spend a little more on a bottle that will last for years or am I okay with having to replace a less expensive one?

TIP: There are no right answers here, but knowing how you feel about some of those will help you make a pick.

Top Kids Water Bottles

After three kids of my own and 9 years of parenting, plus polling my Instagram community, the top pick for kids water bottle goes to the Hydroflask Kids. It’s double-wall vacuum insulation keeps water cool, it comes in fun bright colors, the bottom has silicone for grip, and it has a straw that’s easy to drink from.

The components of the lid are easy to take apart and clean (which you should do regularly) and it comes with a straw replacement that connects to the spout. It’s perfect for younger and older kids.

The hard plastic of the lid is also very break-proof (and dent-resistant) and will hold up to even the most enthusiastic kid treatment of the bottle. (In our experience at least!)

This bottle has a higher price point, so it may be something to consider if you or the kids might misplace it. But we’ve been using the same two for three years and they’re as good as new.

Buy it: 12-ounce Hydroflask Kids Water Bottle

Best Stainless Steel Kids Water Bottle

The Thermos Funtainer is a great option because the lid keeps the straw lid clean, the button makes the lid easy for the kids to open and close on their own, and it keeps liquids cold for up to 12 hours.

I like this second best as I’ve found it to be a little less durable than the Hydroflask, but it’s still a great option. It also usually fits into a cup holder of a car or carseat. It’s also half the price of the Hydroflask and comes in a range of super fun colors.

You can buy replacement parts if the straw or other lid components ever need to be changed out too.

Buy it: 14-ounce Thermos Funtainer

Favorite Toddler Water Bottles

The Camelback Eddy+ Kids 14-ounce bottle is an affordable bottle that’s super lightweight and easy to take on the go. And priced at less than $15, it’s not a huge deal if it gets lost and needs to be replaced.

This one is dishwasher safe and has an easy to clean top with a bite-valve mouthpiece. Keep an eye on the plastic for scratches as that would be sign that it’s time for a replacement. It is BPA-free, which is what we want in a plastic bottle.

It’s also leak-proof when closed and spill-proof when open, which is super handy since most bottles wind up laying down at some point! (You will always have better results if you store them right side up though. )

Buy it: Camelback Eddy+ Kids 14-ounce

Favorite Baby Water Bottles

You can use the Hydroflask or Camelback with a baby or young children, though the straw may be a little large for their mouths. (Of the two, the Camelback is a better option. We started using the Hydroflask at about 18 months and it was fine.)

A better pick for a baby is the Thermos Funtainer mentioned above or the Skip Hop 12-ounce bottle which comes in the designs that we all love. They are nicely sized for little hands and are both get points for ease of cleaning.

You will likely need to replace the straw longterm (there is an extra one that comes with the bottle), but it’s a nice lightweight option to use with a baby aged 6-12 months. It’s also pretty spill proof when the top cap is down as the straw sort of folds over on itself.

(Brush up on when it’s a good idea to start offering baby water here.)

Buy it: Skip Hop 12-ounce Bottle

Best Smoothie Cups

You can find my full run-down of all of the best smoothie cups, with options for big and little kids (as well as parents).

How to Clean a Kids Water Bottle

The easiest way to clean a water bottle is to use the very thin straw brush that came with it and take the top apart to fully clean the pieces.

Also, be sure to let it fully dry to avoid mildew or mold after cleaning.

What’s the best spill proof water bottle?

We like the Thermos Funtainer and the Camelback options for ones that are spill proof. (Though 100% spill proof is a really hard promise since tops may not be fully closed and there’s always the real life factor. When possible, keep any bottle upright.)

What’s the best straw water bottle for baby?

We like the Skip Hop Straw Bottle, the Camelback option, and there are a few other straw cups that work nicely for milk in my sippy cups review post.

Best Tips for Kids Water Bottles

  • Consider the material you prefer when shopping for a water bottle.
  • When using plastic, keep an eye out for scratches as that would indicate that it’s time to replace the bottle.
  • Follow manufacturer’s tips on washing and to know if a bottle is dishwasher safe.
  • Use a straw brush to thoroughly clean the straw, and take apart the lids and let it dry to prevent mildew.
  • Try to carry bottles upright to reduce the likelihood of spills.

We Test Every Bottle We Recommend!

Looking for a water bottle for your kids? They may seem simple, but there are many things to think about that you might not realize. Beyond looks and price, what else do you need to consider when shopping for a kids water bottle? 

Some water bottles are easier to use for little hands. Some are less likely to leak. Others excel at keeping your drinks ice cold. Will you be bringing the bottle along on a bike ride or hike? Need a spill-proof bottle for the classroom? 

We tested fourteen water bottles with our own kids. Based on our experiences, we discovered that bottle material and spout style are the two most important features that affect your child’s water bottle experience. So which water bottle is best for your child and how they’ll be using it?  Here are our top eight recommendations!

Best Water Bottles for Kids

Kids Water Bottle Why We Love It Price
Plastic – Non Insulated
CamelBak Eddy Bright and Playful Designs $15
Contigo Kids Unique Covered Spout $15
Stainless Steel – Insulated
Yeti Rambler Jr. Extra Durable $25
Kids Hydro Flask Keeps it Ice Cold $30
CamelBak Insulated Lightweight Insulated $23
Simple Modern Kids Bite-proof Straw on a Budget $18
Thermos Funtainer Slim design for little hands $18
Snug Flask Amazon’s Choice $19

Yeti Rambler Jr.

Durable for Years of Use

View on Amazon

MSRP: $25

Capacity: 12 oz

Dishwasher Safe: Yes – cap and bottle

Insulated: Yes, 18/8 stainless steel, double wall vacuum insulated; Cold = Yes, Hot = No 

Spout Style: Flip and sip, hard straw

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes

Yeti or Hydro Flask is a raging internet debate, and that debate continues with their kid-sized water bottles. We’ve used and love both, and honestly they are so incredibly similar that it doesn’t do much good to try to declare a winner!

Both Yeti and Hydro Flask keep drinks super cold, are leak resistant, dishwasher safe, strong and durable, and are some of the highest quality water bottles on the market.

So which should you get? They are both exceptional choices, so if you have a brand preference, stick with that. If you don’t, let your child choose their favorite color!

Kids Hydro Flask

Keeps it Ice Cold

View on Amazon

MSRP: $30

Capacity: 12 oz

Dishwasher Safe: Yes

Insulated: Yes, 18/8 stainless steel, double wall vacuum insulated; Cold = 24 hours, Hot = No 

Spout Style: Straw

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes, but boot needs to be taken off

The Hydro Flask kids water bottle is a must have for any kid that needs their drink to be cold. Let’s face it, who likes to drink warm water that’s been sitting in the car all day long? 

Thanks to the double-wall, vacuum-insulated TempShield tech, the Kids Hydro Flask is the perfect choice if you’re looking to keep your drink cold for 24 hours. However, the double wall tech does make for a heavier bottle, an average of about 3.5 oz. more than other top bottles. If you’re planning to load up your backpack with multiple bottles for a hike, this extra weight could weigh you down on your adventure.

The flip top spout with straw makes for an easy drink, while the silicone boot keeps your bottle snug in cup holders and protects it from getting scuffed up.

Contigo Kids Water Bottle

Unique Covered Spout + Spill proof

View on Amazon

MSRP: $15

Capacity: 14 oz

Dishwasher Safe: Yes

Insulated: No, BPA-Free plastic

Spout Style: Autospout, covered

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes

The Contigo Autospout Kids is the lightest weight bottle on our list. Thanks to its Autoseal technology, the unique, covered Autospout keeps your child safe from unwanted dirt and germs. 

While this is an advantage over the exposed spout on the Camelbak Eddy, the Contigo has more parts and can be complicated to put back together after being washed. 

The carry loop makes it easy to hold for tiny fingers or hooking onto a bag. While we haven’t had any issues yet, the longevity of the bottle does have mixed reviews due to the plastic material and issues with lids cracking.

NOTE: The February 2020 recall for these bottles only applies to those with black spout covers sold in Canada and Mexico.

Camelbak Eddy Kids Water Bottle

Budget Friendly + Spill Proof

View on Amazon

MSRP: $15

Capacity: 14 oz

Dishwasher Safe: Yes

Insulated: No, BPA, BPS and BPF free plastic

Spout Style: Flip, bite, sip

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes

The Camelbak kids water bottle is a budget-friendly plastic bottle that helps your little ones’ hydration and your wallet at the same time. In 2021, the body of the Camelbak Eddy kids bottle was updated with a new eco-friendly plastic called Tritan Renew.

The flip, bite, sip spout is spill-proof when it’s open, and leak-proof when it’s closed. No need to tip the bottle to drink, just flip, bite and sip! Unfortunately the spout is exposed to the elements even when closed, unlike the Contigo Kids covered Autospout. While not a deal breaker, certainly something to consider.

Whether it’s to drink in the car, take on a bike ride, or throw in a backpack, this affordable water bottle is ideal for your child’s everyday use.

NOTE: For bottles purchased in 2020, the Echo plastic can crack if put in a high-heat dishwasher setting. Tritan Renew plastic, which all 2021 bottles are made from, is more durable and does not have this issue. Tritan Renew is made with 50% recycled material.

Camelbak Eddy Insulated

Lightweight Insulated Stainless Steel

View on Amazon

MSRP: $23

Capacity: 12 oz

Dishwasher Safe: Yes

Insulated: Yes, 18/8 stainless steel, double wall vacuum insulated; 18-24 hours cold

Spout Style: Flip, bite, sip

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes

The Camelbak Eddy Insulated water bottle is an upgrade from the longtime well-loved Eddy Kids plastic bottle. If you’re looking for an affordable stainless steel bottle, look no further. 

Made from 18/8 stainless steel, the bottle is $10 more than its plastic sibling. We especially love that the double-walled steel keeps your drinks super cold, but doesn’t transfer that cold to the outer layer and little hands.

Be aware that the Eddy also comes in a slightly cheaper single-wall version that does lead to cold hands and mediocre drink temperatures after a time. Make sure you’re buying the right one!

As a plus, it easily slides in a bike cage, keeping your child happy and cool on a warm summer ride.

Simple Modern Kids

Bite-Proof Straw on a Budget

View on Amazon

MSRP: $18

Capacity: 14 oz

Dishwasher Safe: Yes

Insulated: Yes, 18/10 stainless steel, double wall vacuum insulated

Spout Style: Flip, sip (hard straw)

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes

Simple Modern kids water bottles are available in so many bright and playful designs, including licensed Disney and Marvel characters. While our kids went nuts over the cute graphics, we parents were particularly excited about the hard plastic bite valve and a very affordable price point.

Many kids chew on their water bottle straws for fun, and if that straw is soft rubber… large holes eventually develop, which allows for leakage, and can also be a choking hazard.

If you know your kid is a “chewer” and you don’t want the extra expense of replacing rubber bite valves every few months, a hard plastic bite valve will be a life (and money) saver for you.

For a double-wall insulated bottle, the Simple Modern Kids is very lightweight. If you are purchasing for a toddler who will be carrying it around, this may make it a better option than the Yeti or Hydro Flask.

Thermos Funtainer

Slim Design for Little Hands and Lunchboxes

View on Amazon

MSRP: $18

Capacity: 12 oz.

Dishwasher Safe: No 

Insulated: Yes, stainless steel, double wall vacuum insulated; 12 hours cold, No hot

Spout Style: Straw with pop lid

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes, but loosely

With eighteen designs to choose from, the kids Thermos water bottle is sure to delight any child. Parents will especially appreciate the hygienic push button lid with pop-up straw that keeps the mouthpiece protected from germs, as well as the vacuum insulation that keeps liquids cold for up to 12 hours and its exterior sweat-free.

The Thermos Funtainer also earns points because it’s easy to grab out of a bike cage or lunch box thanks to the integrated carry handle. Its slim design makes this bottle ideal for the small hands of children ages 10 and under. 

On the cons side, if your child turns the Funtainer upside down when the lid is popped open, the water will leak and spill. Also, if your child loves to chew on their straws, this bottle will not work for you. While we didn’t experience this, many parent reviewers complain about holes in the straw of this Thermos kids water bottle, causing more leaks and a wet kid.

Snug Flask

Amazon’s Choice

View on Amazon

MSRP: $19

Capacity: 12 oz. or 17 oz

Dishwasher Safe: No

Insulated: Yes, insulated stainless steel

Spout Style: Flip top cap with straw

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes, but loosely and 17 oz. is top heavy

The Snug Flask is Amazon’s choice for a kids water bottle. The price is hard to beat, especially the 17 oz. version offers 5 oz. more space than other leading water bottles. With over twenty designs, it will be hard for your child to only pick one Snug Flask bottle for their collection!

The taller and slim style is pleasing to the eye, but is not ideal for your bike. The longer 17 oz. bottle is top heavy and gives for a loose and bumpy ride in a bike cage.

Other Kids Water Bottles to Consider

Not every water bottle designed for kids can make our top list, but here are a few more we’ve tested that are worthy of your consideration.

Klean Kanteen Kid

Best for Older Kids

View on Amazon

MSRP: $27

Capacity: 12 oz

Dishwasher Safe: No

Insulated: Yes, 18/8 stainless steel, double wall vacuum insulated; 40 hours cold, 12 hours hot

Spout Style: Sport top

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes

The Klean Kanteen insulated bottle is a solid choice for an older child. It keeps liquids cold for up to 40 hours and hot for up to twelve hours! The Climate Lock Vacuum Insulated bottle does come at a cost, since the vessel of the bottle is not dishwasher friendly. With a higher price point than other bottles on our list, the Klean Kanteen brand stands by its product with a lifetime warranty.  

We found the sport/pull top spout didn’t work well with toddlers and young kids. It’s a bit difficult to pull up and push down, leading kids to just leave it in “open” mode. As a result, if the bottle tips over, it ends up leaking everywhere. Kleen Kanteen did just debut a recent upgrade to the lid (image on left above) and we’ll provide an update shortly.

woom Glug

Quickest Chug for Fast Hydration

View on woom bikes

MSRP: $19

Capacity: 17 oz

Dishwasher Safe: Yes

Insulated: No, toxin-free 18/8 single wall stainless steel

Spout Style: Pour Spout

Fits in Bike Cage: Yes, comes with custom side load cage

The Woom Glug kids water bottle is unique with its pour spout style that offers the quickest hydration of any bottle on this list. When you’re out of breath, it’s nice not to have to suck water from a straw! The cap is also easy for little hands to twist on and off. 

The custom side load cage for your bike is one of the most unique and best perks of the bottle. No need to worry about the bottle slipping around in the cage, it’s simple enough for kids to pull it out and put it back in. 

Having a single wall insulation is a drawback if you’re looking for temperature control in your child’s drink. If you’re buying this for a young child, be aware that this bottle spills easily because of the pour spout style cap.

Kids Bike Water Bottle Holders

If you’re going on a family bike ride and using a water bottle for hydration, you’re going to need a kids bike water bottle holder. These holders can be water bottle cages that mount to your bikes frame, or fabric bags that attach via velcro to the bike’s handlebars.

Fabric Water Bottle Bags

Water bottle bags, like those from Po Campo, are easy to take on and off as needed. They often have long straps to carry over your shoulder, and may even have small pockets for a little snack.

However, because they hang from Velcro straps, they tend to move around a lot. A full bottle will especially be annoying for little riders.

Those Velcro straps can also be tricky to mount to the bike, depending on the style of your child’s handlebars. (Dual handbrake cables are also quite problematic!) We greatly prefer water bottle cages if one can attach to your bike.

Water Bottle Cages – Side-Loading is Best

For a kids bike, we prefer water bottle cages that load from the side, rather than the top. Side-loading cages are easier to get the bottle in and out of, which is a bonus for kids. Additionally, top loading bike water bottle holders often don’t work well with the small frames of kids bikes. There’s just not enough room to pull the bottles out!

What Size Cage Do I Need for a Kids Bike?

There’s nothing special about a kids bike water bottle holder – they’re the same size for kids and adults.

Can I Mount a Water Bottle Holder Onto the Bike?

Not every bike is equipped to hold a water bottle. In order to mount a water bottle cage, the bike’s frame needs to have two small, threaded eyelets, which indicate that there are pre-drilled holes in the frame.

To attach the water bottle holder, you unscrew the eyelets that are already in the bike’s frame. Line up the holes in the water bottle holder to the holes on the frame. Then secure it to your bike’s frame using either the eyelets you removed, or screws that were included with purchase of the holder.

How to Choose the Best Kids Water Bottle

Before you decide on a water bottle based just on looks or price, you should consider these three features:

Spout Style

The type of spout you choose will determine how easy it is to drink, as well as how easily the liquids can spill or leak. Your child’s age can determine what kind of spout you think will be best for them. 

Exposed Straw – The straw flips back from the top of the lid and is not covered. This straw is easy for kids of all ages to use, just flip and sip! Only real drawback is the straw is not covered and exposed to germs. (Camelbak, Hydroflask)

Pop top lid with straw – Another spout with a straw, but this one is covered to keep dirt and germs away. After a simple push of the button, the straw pops out making it an easy drink for your child. While a younger child can use this bottle, it may take them a little bit to get the hang of opening and closing the lid.  (Snug flask, Thermos Funtainer, Contigo)

Sport top – This exposed lid has a pull spout top for quick swigs. Just make sure the top is pushed all the way closed, otherwise it will leak when tipped over. This style of spout could be ideal for an older child. (Kleen Kanteen)

Pour spout – Classic tip and drink spout. Great for a fast drink, but can spill quickly when open if you aren’t careful! (Woom Glug)

Bottle Material

There are three primary materials that a bottle is made from. Each has its own pros and cons.

Stainless Steel Single Wall (Non-Insulated): The drinks will stay cold, but will not keep the chill temperature for long periods of time. These are environmentally friendly, durable (does not rust) and easy-to-clean. Thin layers also result in cold temperature to the touch.

Stainless Steel Double Wall (Insulated): Vacuum sealed to maintain temperature over longer periods, insulated stainless stell doesn’t transfer cold or heat to the outside layer of the bottle. But, these bottles also tend to be heavier and thicker.

Plastic: This least expensive choice is also light weight. The plastic material means no dents in the bottle. They are BPA-free which means no chemicals. Final plus is you can see how much liquid is left in your bottle.

Purpose of Use

Biking – Making sure your child’s drink easily fits into their water bottle cage is a must to keep your rider happy and hydrated! Most of our bottles do fit into a cage, but some fit more securely than others.

Hiking – When going on a hike with your child, it’s important to consider the weight of the bottle. Fill it with ice/water and add it to your backpack to get a feel for what you will carry during your hike. 

Everyday use – From the car to your child’s backpack, there are many choices on our list. We recommend a lightweight option, which will make it easier for your child to carry around.

Baby bottles and nipples, accessories

The birth of a child is the most important and desired event in a family’s life. As soon as a little person appears in the house, everything revolves around him and is done for him. Of course, young parents want to buy everything only of high quality and the best for their child. This is the right decision, because the comfort and health of the baby will depend on the choice of necessary things.

Particular attention should be paid to the process of feeding and the accessories necessary for this. The first personal item that an infant has is his feeding bottle and drinking accessories. The comfort of not only the baby, but also the mother will depend on the choice of such a thing. When choosing a baby bottle, the main nuances should be noted:

  • material – glass or plastic;
  • shape – simple or intricate;
  • flow rate – the most comfortable and slowest feed flow;
  • the presence of measured divisions, as well as additional accessories.

Optional accessories include interchangeable baby nipples, as well as a thermal cover, which is very convenient to keep food at a comfortable temperature.

Baby bottles and accessories

Newborn babies need to be especially comfortable when feeding. Modern bottles with a slow flow of nutrition allow you to make it as natural as possible, and anatomical nipples do not cause discomfort to the child.

When choosing the material of a feeding bottle, it is important to consider that there are different types of feeding bottles. Glass is easier to sterilize and bottles made from it are more durable. But at the same time, glass bottles break easily with any careless movement, which makes them not entirely safe. An alternative option is plastic bottles. Modern technologies make it possible to make them environmentally friendly and absolutely safe for your child. If your baby is a formula feeder, you can choose special baby bottles.

Bottles vary in shape. It will be very convenient for children to hold a bottle with handles or in the form of a ring in their hands, but caring for it causes some difficulties, especially when it needs to be washed. The ideal option would be a classic-shaped bottle of small capacity so that there is enough nutrition for one feeding. It is convenient to wash it, and its small size will not cause inconvenience to mother and baby.

When choosing, pay attention to the teats that come with the bottle or can be purchased separately. The most popular option is the silicone nipple. An alternative to it is a latex nipple, which includes natural ingredients.

The real innovation is the anti-colic bottle. Thanks to a special tube that prevents the swallowing of air, it will save the baby from unpleasant colic after feeding. A popular accessory for young mothers is also a smart pacifier. Knowledge about breastfeeding technology made it possible to make it as comfortable as possible for the baby. When feeding from a smart pacifier, the baby maintains the natural rhythm of pauses and swallowing, which makes feeding the most natural for the baby. The anti-colic teat is suitable for both water and infant formula.

Feeding sets and accessories and

Caring for baby utensils requires not only special detergents, but also individual accessories. The baby’s immunity is still very weak, so it may not react properly to certain bacteria.

In our online store for mothers and children, you can buy all the necessary accessories for feeding your baby, as well as for caring for children’s dishes. Their size and shape make it possible to thoroughly wash the baby bottle and prepare it for the next feeding.

Also important is the preservation of the food temperature in the bottle both in summer and winter. The required temperature will save the baby from discomfort during lunch. A special bottle case will help to keep it. It is easy to use, easy to wash and is versatile.

Children grow up very fast, and when your baby starts to eat on his own, you want him to be interested. We offer baby feeding sets in interesting designs, in a wide range and at affordable prices. They are made of high quality and safe materials, which is very important for mothers. Bright colors and patterns make the usual lunch more fun and interesting, which is important for children.
