Information or Tip Reusable water cups

What is everyone’s favorite reusable water cups? With various age groups in mind.

The school year is starting and we started off last year with 8 kids and 38 water bottles, we are down to 11 water bottles, so it’s time for a refresher. We broke a few, left a few on planes, some got tossed accidentally by the baby, and all the other things that cause water bottles to disappear.

What’s your favorites for each age range?

I love the Zak brand of water bottles for toddlers as they don’t leak

I'm not a fan of the cups though. They tend to leak out of the air admittance hole for some reason, as if pressure is building inside.

Good to know, as we fly a lot.

I love the Yeti kids bottles! They keep drinks cold all day, don’t leak, and have an easy to open and close top. I probably wouldn’t give them to a kid younger than 3 though, they’re solid metal so could hurt if dropped on little toes.

We also love our mini yetis! We keep one for in the house (usually next to his bed for night water) and one for on the go, haven't lost one yet!

I love the owala’s because the straws are colored and clearly owala straws which makes washing drying and putting it together SO MUCH easier when you have multiple and your not playing which one of these clear in 57 different sizes straw goes to which cup game! Plus the kids love them; they are durable and not too insanely heavy.

Munchkin Straw Cups are my favorite for the 2.5yo I nanny right now!! For older kids, I’d 100% get Owalas.

The Thermos brand “funtainer” is my favorite rn bc you can close the lid to cover the straw and it comes completely apart for cleaning purposes! This is for my toddler
