I am a big fan of this brand. I have 4 kids (6, 4, 2 and 10 months) and have been using these cups since my first little one could drink from them. Why do I like them so much? They are dishwasher safe!! The pieces come apart easily to make sure they get properly cleaned and sainted. They get dropped, bumped, tipped, scratched, you name it and they don’t leak. They last a long time (even going through the dishwasher daily). Also, the cherry on top is the cute designs. My kids each have their own that they picked and love. My daughter loves the pretty rainbow design and pink lid. It’s bright and cheerful. It also holds a good amount of water.

An absolute favourite

I got my son his first Camelbak when he was only 9 months old and he's loved them ever since! I just ordered his 3rd one because I couldn't get enough of the new prints. These bottles are so easy for little kids to use. They don't leak, are hardy and so easy to pull apart and clean. It's great that you can purchase spare parts, especially the bite valve as that gets heavy chewing from a baby/toddler. I've been very impressed with these, my sons first bottle is still going strong over 2 years later!

Best toddler straw bottle!

After buying about 4 different types of straw cups/bottles and 6 different types of sippy cups, I probably spent over $100 total in cups that claim they were leak-proof and don’t spill and not a single one was leakproof. These included the take and toss, munchkin straw cup, the 360° sippy cups, some Nuk cups, etc. THEY ALL LEAKED or will spill if accidentally thrown by a toddler. This bottle was an impulse buy because we wanted something for an international trip with our 15-month-old. Instead, we use this bottle every single day now because it TRULY does not leak. The spout is a bite-and-suck spout which is genius because that limits the spilling. Even when thrown, tossed, or dropped! The straw disassembles for easy cleaning; the spout is also easy to clean, ... MoreAfter buying about 4 different types of straw cups/bottles and 6 different types of sippy cups, I probably spent over $100 total in cups that claim they were leak-proof and don’t spill and not a single one was leakproof.

The straw disassembles for easy cleaning; the spout is also easy to clean, squeeze the spout and the water and soap will come through. I have no idea what these reviews are talking about the mold and the “terrible” bite and suck. It’s really not that hard. If my 15-month-old can figure it out, I’m sure you can too. I can’t recommend this cup enough and I plan to buy another.

Durable and adorable

We only buy the Camelbak kids brand water bottles. They can handle drops and last quite some time- even if you have a kid who chews on the mouthpiece like mine. This design is of endangered animals so that is amazing for any kid that loves and cares about animals. The shipping was super fast and the item came packaged well and was in perfect condition. I highly recommend this product and the sellers!

Great quality no leaks

This is the first drink bottle I've found (after trying many, many bottles) that never leaks in my kids' bags. Super easy for toddlers to use. Easy to clean as long as you never let it get mouldy inside the lid, because of the nooks and crannies it would get quite difficult to remove - I take it apart each night to make sure it dries out and never had a problem. The longest I've had one of these is for over a year, still going strong but I've had to replace the mouthpiece once. The pictures have not scratched off unlike the Kmart one I bought which scratched off in a few weeks. Annoyingly had 2 of these bottles stolen from daycare so far, overall pretty happy and will continue to buy them

Great waterbottles for kids

We loved these water bottles. I have a two year old and a 4 year old and both have two each. We are buying two more because the kids love them so much. I love all the designs the kids choose. Easy to clean and durable. The kids drop them all the time and they always survived. Not sure what other people are complaining about. The straws leak a little bit if you turn them upside down and shake pretty hard. I have thrown out all the other bottles and only use these.

Happy daughter

Bought this for our one year old for traveling out and about and she was smiling as soon as I opened it to show her. We previously were using a b.box straw cup where you must press with your lips on the straw and suck for the valve to open and this bottle the sipper works the same. The bottle is a good size and not too heavy with a very cute design. I gave the product 4 stars however as the straw inside is a bit too short, if I push the straw up all the way into the sipper insert then there's a gap of about 1cm which frustrates my daughter that she can't finish all the water in her bottle. If I don't push the straw in all the way she can get more of the last bit but then sometimes the straw drops out of the sipper into the bottle. Hoping when I buy a replacement ... MoreBought this for our one year old for traveling out and about and she was smiling as soon as I opened it to show her.

Holding up, but leaks a little

It leaks a little when you shake it. I still prefer Zulu water bottles for the kids. But so far this bottle is holding up. The print is cute, and the material seems sturdy. The straw may take a little more force to pull up water, but kid seems happy with it. Though he pinches the straw to get more flow. Food gets stuck in the giant straw, which is hard to clean. So far no mold but I soak all the kids' water bottles in vinegar weekly.

NOT DEFECTIVE. READ INSTRUCTIONS.

I had to write a review to hopefully counteract the bad reviews saying the cup is defective. 🙄 The straw is not defective. Read the instructions. You need to wiggle and poke/pop open the straw. And you are able to cut it off it seems a little too long to easily get a drink. CamelBak is freaking awesome. Probably the most leak proof kids cup out there. (When the straw top/bite thing is new). One of the best things about this cup, is that you can buy replacement parts! Don't listen to all these bad reviews. These cups rule. Try it out and actually read the little packet that's included.

Tried & True!! Best Kids Waterbottle!

We’ve been using the CamelBak Eddy waterbottles for the kids for 7 years now - still using the original one we bought and it’s tough as nails. I was a bit leery to upgrade to the new Eddy+ model but it has not disappointed one bit!We generally hand wash but have never had trouble in the dishwasher for any of our Camelbk bottles (maybe our hot water is set to a lower temp than other reviewers?!?).We have bought replacement bite valves and straws over the years. It’s what makes this bottle superior to the rest out there. I wish MEC would carry the Eddy+ replacement parts but have sourced them from a major multi-billion dollar corp that shall remain nameless.Beware when buying valves… the older style are the “original Eddy” and the newer style are “Eddy+”.

The bite valves aren’t the same. Make sure you’re buying the right ones!Cute designs. My kids have both used these water bottles from 1-year old. This newer design is a little tougher for the 2 year old to open but he does manage. My older kid (8) still rocks these water bottles. They are a good size for school, daycare, sports, car rides! You name it. We love these. I don’t buy any other waterbottle - we own 5 and like I said the oldest is 7 years now. They also don’t leak which is a huge plus!!!
