Takeya Actives Kids Water Bottle with Straw Lid - Stainless-Steel Double Wall Insulation - BPA-Free Bottle Lid with Carry Handle - Reusable Bottle with Straw Lid - 14 oz, Blackberry

I used a plastic water bottle for years, but decided to switch to stainless over concerns with forever chemicals. The New York Times Wirecutter magazine recommended this one.Its compact size suits my needs perfectly. The flip top with integrated straw is easy to open with one hand and prevents leaking. Beverages retain their temperature for several hours without condensation. The top and bottom glow in the dark which makes it easy to find at night. Finally, the price is very reasonable. Wirecutter was right. This is an exceptional water bottle.

Great quality so far...sturdy, bright and hard to lose

I would definitely consider buying again. I love the color and the silicon cover on the bottom. If the straw is open and the bottle falls over it will leak, but if closed it's fine. My only other complaint is that it can be put in the dishwasher.

I purchased this for my 6 year old granddaughter. It's the perfect size...not too tall or wide. It keeps everything cold for hours and hours. She is not finally drinking pleanty of water. If yu are shopping for a great water bottle for back to school, you can't go wrong with this. Plus, the glow in te dark feature was a big hit!

Perfect for night time fun. Glows bright. I live off grid and have lack of power so when generator dies I can find my cup

Love that I can put this in the dishwasher and that it glows in the dark. Also fits on the top shelf - but only the top shelf - of my fridge. Also love how the flip straw is covered when down to avoid contamination from touching stuff, and is light and thin enough for me to hold (unlike the super trendy O**** bottles and S****** Tumblers which are too big and heavy for my petite lady hands and don't play nice with carbonated beverages). Also works with carbonated beverages, and can hold a 16oz monster without spilling out when you close the lid as long as there's no reusable ice cubes in it. You can of course add the reusable ice cubes after you drink a bit but you want that extra space in there for the carbonation to escape before sealing, where it does have a teeny silicone hole the straw covers when flipped close. The only spilling/leakage I have personally experienced is if the straw is open and you turn it upside down whatever beverage is still left inside the straw will drip out, or if you go to refill it and take the top all the way off the liquid still in the straw will pour out the bottom - which is to be expected. I wish it came in more glow colors - like black and white where the white glows. I also wish there were more accessories for it like replacement glow tops/boots, and bottle holders/slings for this size, and possibly even mug-style handles. Considering my various health issues too this has been the best one I've found aside from Swig though I prefer their 22oz travel mugs for home use as they have the side handle, lids for carbonated beverages, fit in the top rack of my dishwasher and also work great for tea.

Keep the ice water up to 2 days .

We just bought this for our toddler to bring to school and it’s the perfect size. She loves the mint color and the handle is really convenient for her to grab onto. The rubber on the bottom is also a great addition. Very happy with our purchase!
