I recently bought two Nuby flip open straw water bottles for the kids from Sainsburys. We had a larger version of this bottle before and it was fine but these leak. I make the kids keep their cups on the table all the time but waterbottles get carried around and left all over the place. When these ones get knocked over I find a puddle of water next to them.


When I google spill proof kids bottles I can only find the camelbak and Contigo ones that are "spill proof" and also about ?18. Im happy to pay it if they last and I dont have puddles of water all over the house, however if anyone uses a more cost effective bottle that doesn't leak when its knocked over or the spout left open Id love to know which one.


Kids are 18m and 3.5yrs. 18m only cant open the bottles without help. Im looking recommendation for bottles in this age range.


thanks

The only problem I found with these is that after a short while, dirt and mildew started to form under the cap and there is no way you can take the caps apart so I ended up having to throw it away :-(

Yep we use these. Put them in our daughters' book bags and have had no leaking issues.

Thanks everyone


I think I'll give the tommy tippy sipper cup a go.


I need the thing to be leak proof when they dont close the straw / flip top thing and it falls on the floor rolls under the sofa and doesnt leak. There others one suggested I think are leak proof when closed but not if you leave them open.


Thanks again

yeah, that was my rationale behind buying the sipper cup. If he wakes for a drink of water, he's not going to be conscientious enough to think to replace it on the shelf afterwards.. it just ends up on its side in bed with him!


We also have an OXO Tot twist top water bottle which is absolutely leakproof when closed (so comes with us when we're out and about), but if it's left un-twisted and rolls over it goes everywhere :-(

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
