mountop Kids Water Bottle with Straw Lid and Handle, Easy Use for Girls and Boys for School, BPA-Free 14oz 400ml

I love this bottle. Each feature is useful and nothing is extraneous.WARNING: This a very detailed review. I got carried away.Some background: I am a full time college student working part time at an internship. I have been using this bottle at school, at work, at the gym, on the go, and at home for about 2 months now. I know this is a kids bottle but here are all the reasons why this bottle can work for you as an adult:1. The bottle is translucent so you can easily gauge how much water is in it vs peering into the opening or guess-timating by weight. The markings on the side help track intake. Plus, although I love anything orange, it can be a bit too bright and obnoxious in certain settings. However, the bottle is tinted just enough that it's not screaming color at you like an eye sore. I was specifically hunting amazon for an orange bottle, this one of the few translucent monochromatic ones.2. The button on the cap pops up the mouthpiece and is great for one handed drinking on the go, especially when driving.3. The mouthpiece is satisfyingly chewy yet firm, reminiscent of a sippy cup sans toddler drool. Very similar to a Camelbak. The straw reaches nearly to the bottom of the bottle and the valve in the cap creates a closed system with just enough space to let out (or in? not an expert on bottle mechanics) air while drinking. Simply put, it is a noiseless experience. Since it is a straw, it has benefits; no tilting/tipping to drink, no forceful suction like rounded pop up/press down tops, and no excess water spilling from large openings. The cover for the rubber (? not sure of the material) mouthpiece is sanitary and clicks securely into place. Some other bottles with straws do not have covers, which is quite gross as it exposes the surface which comes into direct contact with the inside of your body.4. The size is perfect for me. The width allows me to easily grip the sides (I have small hands), the length easily fits in my small purse/backpack so I carry it everywhere. The dimensions are slightly wider and shorter than a standard plastic water bottle. It is also lightweight and (it may not be very important to you but it is for me) unlike metal bottomed bottles, it does not clank when set on a hard surface (which is great for a quiet office environment). It is smaller than normal adult size bottles.If you are trying to meet water intake goals, this size can be a pro and a con. Pro: You will have to refill often. This can be motivating since you become more aware of when you drink. First thing when I get to work in the morning, I fill it at the water cooler, eat lunch, refill before I leave, drive to school, attend class, refill at the fountain, study at the library, go home, refill with a filtered water pitcher and use until the next morning. I never knew my water drinking habits until I got this bottle. Con: You will have to refill often. Which can be annoying since fountains with good water aren't always available. Bottles are meant to be portable storage for liquids. This does not carry a whole lot. If you are a gym junkie, stick to a gallon jug.5. It is made of hard plastic and is quite durable. I have dropped it a couple times on linoleum, carpet, and wood and it will works and looks perfectly fine. The cap is made of a more durable material and can handle more pressure/wear and tear, but the container is a thinner smoother plastic. I would not recommend if you work outside or around concrete or in a steel floored workshop type area because it still is plastic and will scuff. Estimated usable6. THE CARABINER. So so so useful when you cannot carry the bottle with your hands or a bag or hand it to someone else. Ex: Just hook it onto your belt temporarily while taking out multiple trash bags then unhook when your hands are free. This is also handy if you camp or hike. Otherwise, the carabiner seamlessly fits into the handle on the cap. Perfectly sloped to comfortably dangle from a finger.This is my first amazon review and I knew within the first week of using this bottle I would be writing a detailed product description for it.I highly recommend and hope your experience with it is as satisfactory as mine.

It's got a nice little hook at the top to clip onto backpacks; it's got pleasant color options (though no fun characters which kids do tend to love) and a clear bottle which makes it easy to see how much liquid is in it. But the ONLY reason I love this water bottle and have continued to buy them is b/c they DON'T LEAK - PERIOD. I may like all the super fun Disney or My Little Pony Kids bottles out there, but I hate water soaking my bag or seeing a dribble trail behind my child as they toss around their water bottle. This the only water bottle that has not leaked from day one and didn't require me to fidget with the straw, make sure an opening is covered in some area but not another area, ensure the seal is correctly placed, blah blah blah. I just pour my water in, attach straw and screw the lid on. Easy Peasy.

It is PERFECT for my daughter in preschool and my toddler son. My kids have tried dozens of water bottles, and this one is definitely the best.PROS:-My son’s speech therapist recommended he use a direct flow straw—you don’t have to bite the straw to get the water out, like the Camelbak for kids or Zoli Bot.-It is spill proof and leak proof, so my daughter can bring it to preschool without issues.-Very easy to clean, unlike the Contigo kids bottles that are difficult to take apart. This just has a straw and mouthpiece (similar to the Camelbak).CONS: wish it came in more colors.Overall, GREAT product. I highly recommend.

I originally purchased this for my grandson but once my husband saw it, he confiscated it bc it's the perfect size to fit on his belt for work. He's a motion picture studio grip and a regular sized water bottle is too large to carry around. The clamp on the handle easily fits in his belt and is easy to remove and put back on. The button to open the water spout is conveniently located send easy to press ...and the spout is easy to close.I've ordered quite a few of these bottles and handed them out to all of my grandchildren bc they're super easy to carry, are available in different colors and the bottle fits well in their backpacks. I highly recommend this bottle

I like the sturdiness of these bottles and the durability of the straws and spouts. That said, i DO NOT like that you cannot completely dissemble the spout mechanism. I bought these at the end of March, and now, at the end of May, i have to pitch them, because they are absolutely covered with mold in the part of the spout that you can’t take apart.**UPDATE**The seller was very concerned about my poor rating and agreed to send me replacement bottles. Now that i know how i have to care for them (an elaborate process), I’m sure it will be fine.First, one must remove the straw from the bottle. Then one must find a way to prop open the silicone spout for it to dry properly; if you don’t do this, the grooves will mold. Lastly, one must remove the teeny tiny gasket above the bottom side of the spout. The last one i had ended up with red mold (!) on it, because i didn’t remove it regularly to wash it. Pictures below.In all, this bottle is a pain in the you-know-what, but i think most are like this, and my kids love these bottles, so it’s worth it.Oh, and kudos to the seller for being receptive to my constructive criticism that a business owner does not address a client as “dear,” but rather by their name to keep things professional.

My kid loves her new water bottle! She definitely drinks enough water now whenever she gets a new one..This bottle is sturdy and a perfect fit for small hands.However since it’s for kids I will say design could be more fun or stickers or kids cartoon character so they love it more.. it’s quite plain and bland !!
