Sistema Hydrate Quick Flip Water Bottle | 800 ml | BPA Free Water Bottle with Straw | Assorted Colours

Product Information

Unlike other plastic bottles, we love that this one is dishwasher-safe. No more fiddling around with long brushes or sponges—just toss the parts in, close the door, and let the machine do the work. We also like that there's a lid for the straw, which sets Pogo's bottle apart from others on our list. Our verdict: Easy to use and watertight, this practical water bottle from Ion8 also sailed through our durability tests. Both of our three-year-old and five-year-old testers were able to fill and tighten up this bottle without it leaking. It also came out completely clean from the dishwasher, and again when we washed it in a sink, with no tough-to-reach spots where dirt and bacteria could be left to linger.

But the FreeSip's lid is the star of the show. Flip it open using one finger to access the spout, which offers two ways to drink. You can sip using the bottle's straw or take a big swig from the spout opening—ideal when you're overheating on the treadmill or elliptical. It also features a carrying handle that slots in place over top of the lid to create a seal that's truly leakproof. Water bottles with straws are made with various materials, including plastic, glass, and stainless steel. If you're looking for the most lightweight option, you may want to choose a BPA-free plastic water bottle, like Contigo's Ashland 2.0 Leak-Proof Water Bottle. Stainless steel options (like Owala's FreeSip Water Bottle) have better insulation and can keep your favorite drinks hot or cold for hours. For an environmentally-friendly bottle that doesn't hold onto smells or tastes, try glass—we recommend BLUEGO's 64oz Glass Water Bottle. Like Owala's FreeSip, this water bottle from SimpleModern is also leakproof. But we recommend it as the best leakproof option because it's more budget-friendly, comes in more sizes, and has a classic straw lid design, if the FreeSip's chug spout option isn't for you.Finding a glass water bottle with a straw can be difficult, but we think we've found the ideal solution in this option from BLUEGO. The wide mouth is large enough for adding your favorite ice, fruit, or other flavorings. We also love that it has a silicone sleeve to protect it from impact, so you can toss it in a bag or your passenger seat without a second thought. If you need to keep hydrated but don't have the opportunity to refill your water bottle often, whether you're gearing up for a hike or a long day out and about, we recommend Iron Flask's 64-ounce water bottle. We like that this half-gallon bottle has three lids, including a straw lid that we found easy to drink from, even while standing or walking. The smaller sizes fit in most cupholders, whether you're sipping in the car or on an exercise bike. But like Owala's FreeSip, SimpleModern's water bottle is meant for cold drinks only. For hot drinks, try investing in a high-quality insulated tumbler.

We love that the wide mouth allows us to add ice to keep our water at the perfect temperature all day long. Plus, the outside is just slightly textured for the right amount of grip, and even the largest 40-ounce size is easy to hold with one hand.The type of water bottle you need will vary depending on the age of your child, and what life stage they're at. The bottles we've selected for our tests are aimed at preschool and young primary school children. We like that this water bottle comes with two lids—one with a straw and one with a wider mouth—for optimal versatility. In testing, we appreciated the convenient carrying handle on each lid, helping us easily tote the bottle from place to place. The only downside is it's heavier than some other options we recommend, although this also contributes to its impressive durability. Overall, it's a high-performing bottle and a great value for the price. Straws: Once a child has grown out of baby bottles the next step might be a bottle with a straw. These can either be made of tough plastic or softer silicone. We've found that some of the softer silicone straws don't stand the test of time and children will nibble through them given half a chance. It came out of the dishwasher with lots of dirty spots still on it, particularly around the spout and underneath the lid. These spots were also hard to clean when handwashing, and we'd wager they would often be missed.

It comes in several sizes and an array of colors. A carrying clip is built into the cap so you can easily take it on the go. The price is right, too, as you can score the 24-ounce model for less than half the price of other bottles on our list.

This bottle has handy measurement lines on the side, so you or your child can trace the amount of water drunk through the day. Our verdict: Although children will love the design, we found a number of issues with this Nuby water bottle during testing.

At the end of the testing period, we give each water bottle a score of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (would recommend) in each of the key categories listed above. We also take the bottles home so we can continue to test them—we'll update this story with new insights as we use them in our daily routines. There are also lots of nooks and crannies that dirt or sand can get wedged in, something we found when we rolled this bottle around in a sandpit. It comes in three sizes—24, 32 and 40 ounces—in various bright colors. The bottle is made of food-grade stainless steel, and the cap and straw are made from BPA-free plastic. When testing this water bottle, we found that the lid is easy to screw on and off, and we love that the spout flips up with the push of a tab.
