10 Best Kids' Water Bottles, According To Real Moms
Camelbak Eddy kids water bottle(01 of10)
Open Image Modal
This sweet Camelbak is available in 10 cheerful colors and patterns. Lightweight and compact, these .4-liter BPA-free water bottles are dishwasher-safe, practical and cute as can be.

"My kids like these plastic Camelbaks because they have sweet designs, and even they don't keep anything cold I love the fact that they are pretty leak-proof." Sam Posey, a friend and mom of two

Thermos Funtainer water bottle(02 of10)
Open Image Modal
This Thermos Funtainer was easily the most recommended water bottle among the parents we spoke to.

"Our nanny actually purchased our Funtainer for our older daughter something I consider the highest caliber of recommendation since she's been working with kids for almost 20 years. Despite being dropped (and let's be honest, thrown) countless times, it remained intact. I am also really obsessive about cleaning my kids' cups because they get foul and moldy really easily, and this one was always easy to clean (although I recommend investing in a bottle brush and straw brush)." Emily Ruane, HuffPost's managing shopping editor and mom of two

"This is [my daughter's] current water bottle and my absolute fave. It keeps the liquid cold which has been clutch and it fits ice cubes. Shes so obsessed with it that she carries it around and is finally drinking 'agua'. I let her pick the Frozen one despite my personal aesthetic preferences because she loves it so much but there are also less offensive ones. It's technically dishwasher-safe but I hand wash it so the picture doesnt fade. The only downside is now they dont allow metal bottles at the pool!" Ingrid Mellor, art therapist and mom of one

"This is the bottle you've been looking for. Easy to clean, no annoying straws, dishwasher-safe, cute patterns, a smart-shaped mouth, and just the right size for preschoolers and elementary kids." Kate Palmer, executive editor at HuffPost and mom of two

"We started using Thermos Funtainer for my now-3-year-old about a year ago. She had seen other kids at daycare who had one and liked that the lid popped open with the push of a button. I liked that the container is stainless steel and insulated but not too heavy. Also, the whole thing has only three pieces (container, spout and inner straw), and I can buy replacement spouts and straws. This keeps drinks cold and doesn't leak when the lid is closed. We now own multiple colors, and it comes in a number of kid-friendly designs too!" Sara Bondioli, copydesk supervising editor at HuffPost and mom of one

"This trusty kids thermos has lasted since [my daughter] was in Pre-K and she's now about to start third grade." Posey

It has a no-leak pull-top spout that is easy for kids to use, and a carry loop for breezy transport.

"This bottle is not easy to clean, and I usually don't drop it in the dishwasher. But it has a fun spray component that has made it the most popular bottle with the 1st-3rd grade set. Great for summer camp." Palmer

Open Image Modal
While not explicitly made for children, my colleague chose this HydroFlask for his child's reusable water bottle. It has double-walled vacuum insulation, is dishwasher-safe, BPA-free and incredibly durable, making it a great investment.

"The biggest problem I found with kids' water bottles is some of them are really hard to clean the best we found is the Hydro Flask with the twist top that comes apart. We just got the 20-ounce version...it's a little harder to turn but the whole top comes apart for cleaning, while so many of the other ones have really hard-to-reach spots to clean and they didn't come apart." Chris McGonigal, senior photo editor at HuffPost and dad of two

While you can only get this exact model at Owala's website, similar kids' options are available at Target , Amazon and REI .

If you have a toddler, then these training cups are ideal. They don't leak and have a soft silicone spout that is pressure sensitive to help avoid spills.

"I like these for the house. I think they are for transitioning from bottles so I guess theyre more of a sippy cup. But our four-year-old niece still uses them she has the straw top. My mother-in-law has them for all the little kids." Mellor
