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 :-(

    • is anyone getting rid of one or something similar?   thanks 
    • ?????? I have read through this thread and I am totally bemused. It had previously seemed to be a helpful thread, and I  don't want to send it any more off topic by responding to the last two posts by other forum members. Could someone (or admin) please PM me if they think I have stepped out of line and explain why, as recent comments seem to be directed at me and have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. This is a forum, and as in real life people are all  different, with different personalities and sensitivities, and react in different ways,  but the direction this thread has taken is very disappointing. ETA: If the two previous posters want to discuss the points they have made which aren't relevant to the subject of this thread, perhaps one or both of them could start a new thread or threads in the lounge? But probably this thread has come to an end  anyway. Thank you to the other posters for your useful information.
    • Please lmk if you have one for sale. Thanks 
    • I totally agree with jazzer having been “jumped on” by various members.. I try and help as that is the sort of person I am, but now will try hard  to just read and not reply.. was down right hurtful to have a comment made along the lines that as I was no longer as person supposed, in ED and moved somewhere else should just leave group. No longer sure what sort of people are on this group - certainly not as pleasant as it was 15 years  ago when people were pleasant, helpful and some things were a joke and much more  light hearted. Everyone has a right to their own opinion as it is a public forum- meaning anyone can join from where-ever but c maybe I have got that wrong as well / doesn’t matter as I will probably leave…
