I’m sure like most of us moms, I have tried a countless amount of cups for my littles. We stuck with the munchkin 360 cups for awhile, but the mold build up and tearing of the lids was aggravating- plus they’re definitely not leak proof. My littles are 3.5 and 2, and they both LOVE these straw cups. I love how sturdy these cups are - no leaks and we have been using for over a month! I love that the straw design is a great way to help my children consume water, I love that they’re 14 oz, my children go through at least a few refills a day! They’re not impossible to clean, I find it easy to pop out the bite valve and the straw. Some reviewers said the straw kept falling out - that’s happened maybe once or twice, and it’s an easy fix.. nothing that has been overly frustrating. I am back for more, so I can finally get rid of the clutter of useless sippies ! (These also fit in car seat cup holders!) Read more
This is eddy+, and comes with the triton renew label that means it is now made with 50% recycled material. Everything else is the same -BPA free, they kept the same kid friendly handle design and best of all, the bite valve used in its predecessor eddy fits in this newer model. So if you were bought extra OEM bite valves in packs of 6 or so for your older eddy bottles like I did as the kids can chew them open, you will find that they fit these new eddy+ bottles if you change out the bottles. However, you will have to use the straws that came with those older bite valves. The bite valves for eddy+ are on the surface, similar but the straw insert area is much larger and uses a wider diameter straw. So u can't mix and match straws and bite valves between old and new so don't be too quick to throw out the straws (if good) when replacing the bite valves. The screw top is a little deeper so it is harder to clean but not a deal beaker for me. Overall, Camelbak kept the usual array of cute and attractive designs for girls and boys. They are sturdy and last for a while, save for scratches but I assign blame on my kids for that (!). Note that Camelbak have phased out the eddy on their website so eddy+ may be the only model you can get going forward or find the remaining eddy on Amazon. Read more
This is a great bottle with good design. I got this solely for the cap. They fit on wide mouth Nalgenes. The bottle has four parts. -Straw -Straw Bite -Bottle -Cap Easy to clean when disassembled. Just need a straw brush. Instruct your children that this is not a chew toy. All they need to do is gently bite down on the straw to open the little slit to suck out liquids. I use mine with just water. If assembled properly, it won't leak. I had mine for a while, it still has not leaked. Read more
I love this cup. It’s cute, easy to assemble for use and to take apart for cleaning! Very sturdy! It has a handle for ease in carrying! Definitely a must have for school, when running around, visits to parks etc! Read more
As most parents have seen, there’s “new information” practically daily on what is good vs bad for development. I read somewhere that sippy cups were pointless, and that it was better to start with straw cups. So I started with a “leak proof” weighted straw cup for babies. The straw itself didn’t leak thanks to a bite valve, but the cup threads were awful and I had wet spots wherever she laid down (more like threw) her cup. I bought this hoping for something just slightly better and I am in love. No more leaks! She was around 9 months old when we first purchased this, and she learned to use this specific straw/bite valve in just minutes. I couldn’t recommend this water bottle any more. (Disclaimer: packaging clearly states this is for ages 3+, we haven’t had any issues, but we always supervise her use with it). Read more
My daughter takes these to preschool everyday. They are so cute and easy for her to use. I’ve read a lot of reviews about cleaning them/ mold, etc. You HAVE to pull the bite valve out and take it a part – it takes a little getting use to but is easy once you get the hang of it. I put everything on the top rack of the dishwasher with the small parts in a little bin. I haven’t had any issues. They’ve held up very well and no signs of mold or anything like that. I highly recommend these. We have broken 2 of them (in the past) just from my daughter dropping them on the playground and cracking the bottom open but that’s to be expected with a toddler. Note: the teal bands in the picture are not a part of the water bottle. They are my daughter name bands for school. I also recommend those from inch bug. Read more
Tried many different water bottles for my daughter based on online reviews and was frustrated that I couldn’t find something that worked for her. This was by far the best on all the dimensions that were important to us: easy for her to use (16 mo.+), easy clean, no leaks, sufficient size, has handle, cute design, etc. My husband and I each have one in the 1 liter size.
