This is absolutely the best toddler/kids water bottle I’ve bought. 1. The body: I love that you can get it in stainless steel WITHOUT any paint coating. I mean, the painted ones are darling, but as soon as the bottle is dropped the paint begins chipping. 2. The straw: it’s angled so that as the bottle empties, it will draw up from where the water pools based on how a toddler holds it as they drink (it’s hard to explain without visuals, but trust me). Also, it SCREWS in to the cap. Previous bottles we’ve had with similar straws didn’t, which means the straw would randomly detach from the lid inside the bottle, and I’d be at the zoo or on a hike opening it and fishing around to find and reattach the straw. Yuck. 3. Mouthpiece/leaking: THANK YOU for having the thing that my child puts their mouth on be silicone, not plastic! It’s softer and non toxic. Also, even when the mouthpiece is up and not latched closed, it doesn’t leak because there is some kind of valve in the cap that prevents it. The mouthpiece is easy to open and close, even for my 3 year old. Now, is this the easiest contraption to clean? Np. But it is perfect in every other way, so I don’t care. My child has been using water bottles for 2 years now, and I wish I had found this one sooner. Read more
The media could not be loaded. It's come to my attention many of you guys don't know how to properly remove the glue from Contigo cups. Our family LOVES this brand and I refuse to buy my kids any other brand for school because these are inexpensive, durable, fix great in a lunch box/backpack, and truly leak-proof. Now, if you have a chewer, that's not the fault of the cup. Cups aren't meant to be chewed on. You cannot chew on a cup and expect it to last. If used properly, these cups will last YEARS! We've had some as long as 5 years going on strong. If your cup is leaking, it's because it's too full or loose somewhere (cup or straw). Ours never leak! I always go out and buy them, especially when I catch a good sale. Told my friends about them and they brought up the glue issue. What glue issue?! I get on Amazon to order another cup, and I see many of y'all are having problems with the glue coming off. I thought everyone knew the trick to getting the glue off in minutes, but since not, today I finally made a video to explain how I get the glue off in five minutes! No seriously! The glue is the equivalent as mouse trap glue. What do we do to get that off? Oil! Same with these cups. I personally use canola oil to combat the sticky glue on the cups, but you can use any glue and it'll work the same. After using the oil method, you'll need to wash them in warm water and use Dawn Dish Soap. It's the best to get that greasy feeling off the cups. When I made the video, I mention wash as normally. Afterwards, I realized not everyone uses Dawn. You need to get something tough to get the oil off! I PROMISE you, you shouldn't be using alcohol, acetone, etc. It'll ruin the artwork if you have a cup with art. If you use any pull off methods, you can leave spots from where you ripped the glue off. Just use the oil and save yourself the trouble. Read more
We own several of these. They are easy to clean, easy to assemble, good size, fairly sturdy. There is no lock on the fliptop, which makes it easier for the kids to open, but also means that we have had it pop open and leak. Also, if you don't have the straw clicked tight into the lid, it will leak. Read more

I’m not one of those people who drinks a lot of water and my regular size bottle usually was more than half full by the end of the day. This smaller size bottle is just right for me. The built in straw makes it easy to sip on and the entire unit is easy to clean. It’s not totally leakproof but it;s pretty good in this regard. Read more
I love Contigo bottles. I've been using them for years. This purchase was an upgrade as I have 2 from when my daughter was a baby, she's 6 now. They've improved the spout system inside. It's easy to remove and clean and as always, leak proof. The insulation keeps her water cool all day, of course it's filled with ice and water. The only thing, I think, its missing is a lock to lock the spout down. Although, with this new model, I haven't had any incident yet to where the spout pops up if you drop it. All in all, I love the bottle. Been loving it for years and Contigo makes great upgrades. Read more
