CamelBak Eddy Kids Water Bottle 12oz

Updated Review after 1 year of use:Pictures- pink plastic Contigo bottle w/ new style Eddy+ white lid; glass bottles with older Eddy lids - 20 oz Contigo & 24 oz Camelbak Eddy water bottle. All 3 bottles have Eddy+ silicone spouts. Second picture shows the tabs off 2/3 bottles.This listing is the older style 12 oz Eddy kids water bottle (Eddy + 14 oz is the newer style). I bought this kids bottle for just the lid because it fits my glass Camelbak Eddy water bottle and Contigo glass water bottle. The newer lid style doesn’t fit. I hand wash the plastic lids and they have held up well. I do recommend considering removing the tab covering the air outlet every now and then to clean or just leaving it off all of the time (this is what I do and it does not affect the spill proof feature) because dirt can accumulate under it over time (2nd picture shows the newer style white Eddy+ lid and white/grey Eddy lid have the tab removed and the black/gray lid has the tab on). The Eddy and Eddy+ kids water bottle lids are very similar but there are some differences.-Straw spout: this Eddy style has a less durable silicone spout. The newer straw spout is thicker, has an indent and thicker silicone at the bite/sip point which makes it less likely to split straight down the middle with repeated use, and it doesn’t keep the liquid at the top of the spout like the older version does. The older version is easier to suck but more likely to split down the middle over time. You can replace silicone spouts at needed with either model. This comes with an Eddy spout. The Eddy+ spout (newer more durable version) can be used as a replacement spout with this older style Eddy bottle too but you will have to push it harder to get it in and out for cleaning and use a thicker straw.-Inner straw: This older version uses standard width straws that most brands do such as Hydroflask. Eddy + uses a wider straw which can make finding replacements difficult unless you buy from the brand. Silicone Bubba straws and thick silicone Kleen Kanteen straws can fit the newer model.-Compatibility: older lid style is compatible with glass Eddy water bottle, Contigo (glass and plastic bottles), and Nalgene. It will twist on a wide mouth Hydroflask bottle but it won’t fully seal (likely because it doesn’t have a silicone sealing ring), so it will leak slowly id left on its side. It seals fine for the kids cup and other brands mentioned. New Eddy+ lid is not compatible with any other brands except for plastic Contigo bottles.Handle - older style has a narrower handleOriginal ReviewDisclaimer - this is the older Eddy bottle style. The lid is compatible with Contigo water bottles and the retired Eddy glass water bottle.My reason for purchasing - I actually just needed the cap of this bottle for the retired Eddy glass water bottle, but they don’t sell just the lid. I prefer the kids bottle top bc you can totally take it apart to clean. This bottle would be good for a child who needs more oral input from biting down on the spout. I am a pediatric occupational therapist, and I caution anyone from buying this for a child under 18 months of age because this spout could potentially promote a tongue thrust (the tongue would move forward and rest under the sip spout). Straw cups and open cups are best for babies from 1-2 years of age bc they facilitate moving from an immature swallow (suckling motion of a bottle) to a mature swallow where the tongue elevates to the roof of the mouth. Hard spouted sippy cups are the worst bc they force the tongue to stay low and forward in order to suck the drink out. By the age of 2, most toddlers have developed a mature swallow so long as they have been exposed to open cup as and straw cups.

Very durable and cute for girls.

At first they had mistakenly sent the wrong one but they send a new one right away!!! I love it! And so did my daughter

Excelente producto, es de un material resistente y duradero

Leaks everywhere. We typically keep quite a few Camelbak Eddy bottles on hand, but this one went straight to the trash.

Good quality and durable. Perfect for toddlers

This brand it’s absolute wonderful! I’ve tried other brands and they don’t last long.

Great product and super cute. They don't spill as long as you have the top part of the straw pulled through all the way.
