Ello Kids Colby 12oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle with Straw and Built-In Silicone Coaster Carrying Handle and Leak-Proof Locking Lid for School Backpack, Lunchbox, and Outdoor Sports

Never leaks, cleans easily in dishwasher. I just fully disassemble and wash all parts in the dishwasher. No weird taste, and the basin is metal, which I prefer. Kids like the spout. Durable. My only “tip” is to pour out a tiny bit in the sink once you’ve filled it and secured the lid tightly, because the vacuum effect makes some liquid squirt out when the top is popped— almost like a little dolphin spout! Funny but not fun to clean up when it’s milk or juice :)

We tried out a couple of water bottles during the Prime Day sales and this was by far, the best. The colors are beautiful and fun. The lid opens and closes easily enough for my 3-year old to be able to operate it on her own, but it also has a lock so it can't be opened accidentally. The mouth piece is soft and small enough for little mouths to fit around. It is easy to suck out of as well.I like the silicone sleeve on the bottom so it doesn't clank against surfaces when it's set down. And the handle to carry it is very sturdy.We love this water bottle and will definitely be buying more in other colors.

The media could not be loaded. This is the second Ello insulated bottle I’ve purchased, and I’m just as impressed as I was with the first one! I initially bought one for my older daughter, and I loved the quality so much that I got another for my 1-year-old.One of my favorite features is the lid that covers the drinking area—it’s much more hygienic that way. It keeps water cold for a very long time, which is a big plus. I also love the color combination and the protective boot at the bottom, which helps prevent dents if it falls. And it’s LEAK PROOF that is WONDERFUL!*I neef to clarify that the bottle is leak proof with the cap on. If not is only a cup with a straw*Cleaning is super easy, too. The parts come apart effortlessly, and since my hand fits inside the bottle, I don’t even need a brush. Highly recommend this bottle for both kids and adults!

These are cute and keep drinks cool. I like that they have the protective rubber bottom on them. They do not leak as long as the cap is on them. I feel like the size and amount they hold is a good amount for my kids (3 and 1) and the handle makes it easy for my toddler to pack around with all of her other toys lol.You do have to make sure the straw is in place all of the way right or else it is extremely hard to suck the water out. My one year old kept getting aggravated with his and taking his sisters so we tested it and that was the problem, he wasn’t getting anything out and the straw was not inserted all of the way inside.The biggest con (and this is part user error) is that it only took one fall from about 3 feet to break the whole handle/plastic cover completely off and it’s not something that can just be popped back on because the plastic part cracked. Without that cover it is not leak free which sucks but again this was part user error because the toddler dropped it.

School ready with the best water bottle. She loved the colors. Plus the bottom grip is the best for my sometimes clumsy baby. Great price!!

Little plastic nub fell out of the top and now water leaks, literally pours out of the hole in the top so I can’t throw it in my bag anymore. So bummed!!!

Easy for all of my kids to use (ages 18 months- 5 years). Love how durable it is and that it doesn’t dent like most other water bottles. Love the soft spout and the cover for when it ends up on the floor of the car. Super durable, we’ve used ours almost daily for over a year and dishwash multiple times per week. Found if it leaks - the little silicone air vent thing at the top just needs to be pushed in. My toddler dropped his out of the car window so the plastic lid broke off but otherwise they look brand new.

I wanted to love these, I really did. I love the safe(r) materials and I love the glass bottles they make for adults, so I got some of these for my kid to try. They would have been great water bottles, were it not for a fatal flaw - the tiny silicone piece that prevents leakage gets lost easily, and the company does NOT sell replacement parts. The ability to purchase a 10-pack of those cheap little buggers would have totally redeemed these bottles (not that one should have to pay for a bunch of replacement parts, but I would have so as not to waste the bottles I already invested in), but without that option, I’m sad to say they are useless as soon as that piece gets lost (which for us was the first dishwasher cycle) and they subsequently leak all over a kid’s backpack & lunchbox.The other more minor flaw is that the base is too wide to fit in a standard car or carseat cupholder slot, so the silicone anti-slip boot has to be taken off each time, then put back on once at school, which creates a lot of unnecessary work and is another opportunity for parts to get lost. I’ll just stick with Funtainers from here on out, as they are made of equally safe materials and they DO sell replacement parts to keep their products functional for longer.
