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 :-(

    • Initially, when all the discussion took place at Bradbury some of existing building was to be demolished which meant that 3 flats would go but these residents would have to wait until new building erected to be housed. No indication has been given as to where people would be placed during building. I am glad that the tree is to remain - Bradbury residents contacted various environmental groups to lobby for tree to remain. I gather that there is likely to be a question of restricted views to be made by Wood Vale residents as 5 stories is significantly higher than current building.
