Having a drink to hand for your child is a must, but finding a water bottle that doesn’t leak can feel like the Holy Grail. A leaky water bottle in your bag means damp unwearable clothes, soggy snacks and, most importantly, no drink for your little one! Pretty much every kids’ water bottle on the market promises to be leakproof, so we’ve road-tested the best for every age and stage.
So what is the best leak-proof water bottle? Check out our pick of the best reusable plastic* and stainless steel water bottles for children.Which water bottle is best for kids? Reusable plastic bottles are better than disposable ones, but obviously this doesn’t completely solve the problem. Recently there has been an increase in the use of stainless steel for making water bottles.
It means that the bottle can be refilled at school and kids can keep hydrated, which helps with concentration and therefore learning. Also, having water nearby will help children from automatically reaching for juice or fizzy drinks when they’re thirsty.
