FUNTAINER Water Bottle with Straw - 12 Ounce - Kids Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Water Bottle with Lid, Dinosaurs

I researched metal toddler cups forever before deciding on this one and I’m so happy I went with Thermos. We have 2 of these cups for my 2-year-old and they’re great. They are super sturdy (my daughter has quite the arm and throws her cups daily from up in her high chair). They leak if they’re laying on their side with the top open, but that’s kind of to be expected. We just make sure to keep the top shut when my daughter isn’t drinking from it. It’s very easy to open and my daughter does it herself no problem. The little handle is perfect for toddlers to carry it themselves. They keep water cold for a long time; I find ice stays frozen in there for a while. They’re easy to take apart and clean. I like that the straw is clear so you can see if there’s anything in it. You can also buy replacement parts for the straw sections of the cup which is great. They’re dishwasher safe and fit in a standard car seat cup holder (all these were an absolute must for a toddler cup for our house). We have this butterfly one and the strawberry one. Neither have chipped or faded yet and they’re washed and dishwashed regularly. One goes to daycare with my daughter and has held up very well. Overall extremely happy with these cups and highly recommend for a toddler.

I got this water bottle for my 1 year old grandson whose father works in the construction industry. I take care of my grandson in the mornings while his parents work. This water bottle is exactly what I needed. It's small enough to fit in my lunch tote/purse so I can always have his water bottle on hand to keep him hydrated. I love that this water bottle is leakproof. The last water bottle I tried for my grandson leaked all over my front passenger seat. With this water bottle, I can carry it in my purse and not worry about leaked water ruining the items in my purse. I also like the straw, which makes it easy for my grandson to drink. I would say that the angle of the straw is a bit low and so I do make a point of being careful to not accidentally hitting my grandson's chin with the bottle when I am offering him a drink from the bottle. Unlike some other water bottles with a straw that are hard to clean, the way the straw is implemented in this Funtainer water bottle makes it easy to clean. And it's dishwasher safe! As a one year old, my grandson loves to throw things to the ground. I've had other Thermos water bottles for myself with a plastic lid that would break should I accidentally drop the water bottle. This Funtainer water bottle's lid seems to be better quality as it has survived being thrown to floor from the high chair and to the asphalt from the car seat. Although the cap and straw are made of plastic, I was willing to pay more for the fact that the bottle itself is stainless steel. I do try to avoid using plastic as much as reasonable. I love this water bottle for my grandson so much, I am getting him another one. I am thinking he can use these water bottles for years to come!

Highly recommend! It doesn’t spill, it’s super cute, and durable. Keeps my daughter’s drink cold. Totally worth the money. And my daughter likes to chew on her straws and it’s pretty sturdy and easy to find a replacement.

This Thermos water bottle is an excellent choice for my daughter. She likes it soooo much and she even drinks more water than before which easily keeps her hydrated throughout the day. The 12 Ounce size is perfect, making it perfect for school and travelling in backpacks/lunch bags and car cup holder. The straw is convenient and they can even take apart which makes it easy to clean. High recommend!

Here’s my detailed review of the THERMOS FUNTAINER Water Bottle after thoroughly testing it with my kids. **Pros:** 1. **Insulation Performance:** The stainless steel vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold for hours. My kids' water stays refreshingly cool even on hot days, making it perfect for school and outdoor activities. 2. **Durable Build:** The stainless steel construction is robust and can withstand drops and rough handling. A real plus for active children. 3. **Easy to Use:** The push-button lid makes it easy for kids to open and close the bottle on their own. The pop-up straw is a hit, making drinking fun and spill-free. 4. **Hygienic & Safe:** The integrated carry handle and covered straw keep the drinking area clean and free from dirt. Plus, it's BPA-free, ensuring safe use for kids. 5. **Compact Size:** The 12-ounce capacity is perfect for little hands, fitting nicely into lunchboxes and backpacks without adding too much weight. 6. **Appealing Design:** The teal color is vibrant and appealing. My kids love the look, making it more likely they'll stay hydrated. 7. **Easy to Clean:** It’s dishwasher safe (top rack), making cleanup a breeze for busy parents. The wide opening is also convenient for manual washing. **Cons:** 1. **Non-Leakproof Lid:** Although generally reliable, the lid can occasionally leak if not closed properly. It's important to ensure it’s tightly secured. 2. **Straw Cleaning:** The straw mechanism requires thorough cleaning to prevent any mold build-up. Regular maintenance is necessary to keep it sanitary. The THERMOS FUNTAINER Water Bottle with Straw is an excellent choice for kids. Its insulation, durability, appealing design, and ease of use make it a standout product. Despite minor issues like occasional leaking and the need for careful straw cleaning, its benefits far outweigh the cons. A great investment for parents looking to keep their kids hydrated in style!

These are a great size for my 1.5 year old, and they keep water cold. I took off a star because they sometimes leak into the lid a bit, so when you open them water pours out. They still work well and my daughter loved putting her own stickers on! We have 2 and use them every day, the leak issue is pretty minor.

Perfect for my newly 1 year old. Keeps her water cold when we're outside in the summer or away from home all day. It's big enough that it doesn't need to be refilled often, but small and light enough for her to carry around. The straw stays covered when not in use, so it's way more hygienic than her tumbler cups that have exposed straws. It doesn't leak AT ALL when closed so I can throw it in the diaper bag and not worry about it leaking. I still need to open and close it for her, but I'm sure it won't be long before she can do it herself. The straw is easy for her to drink from. It has held up fine in the dishwasher and is very simple to take apart and put back together. It's really cute without looking baby-ish and looks like it will last well into preschool years. I'm planning to order another. Current sale price of $12 is well worth it. (We only use it for water, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be just as good for milk or juice.)

I love this bottle for my toddler! She was able to learn to open and close it very easily. It holds the right amount of water for someone her size so it isn’t too heavy even when filled. The best part is that it comes apart and is put back together very simply and makes for easy cleaning! Plus the area part at the top is replaceable so if it get torn after lots of use (or bitten as we know toddlers like to do) I can get a new straw without replacing the whole bottle! Would definitely buy again…although it is so sturdy I may not have to!
