The best and tested toddler water bottles to keep your little one hydrated

The Contigo Kids Water Bottle is one that you really want to invest in. It is designed to be fully leakproof, with a press button to access the drinking spout. This bottle can be tipped upside-down even with the spout open, and not a drop of water leaks out. The parts inside the bottle also stay together to clean and help prevent losing anything when washing up.

Our Product and lifestyle Writer, Samantha Ball, said: "We go through so many water bottles in our house. If they're not constantly leaking, we're losing the straws, or they're breaking, but this water bottle has really changed things. My daughter tips it up and shakes it about, but not a single drop of water leaves the bottle, which also means our bags are not getting soaked when out and about when the bottle accidentally tips over.

"It is also incredibly easy to clean, and the straw stays attached to the bottle, so we aren't constantly losing it. It is incredibly good value for money and I've definitely spent the same on three different bottles over the last few weeks, whereas this one has actually lasted."

Ideal for little ones who you constantly have to remind to drink more, the latest innovation from Airup is specifically designed for keeping younger tots hydrated. Designed with smaller hands in mind, the click-and-sip flip cap is leakproof, and it's made from fully recycled materials. This particular bottle comes in three different colour options and comes with three Watermelon, Lime, and Wild Berry pods included with the bottle to get you started.

If you didn't already know about airup, its genius patented Scentaste™ technology transforms plain water into a tasty drinking experience – through scent only! When you pop a scent pod on the bottle, it releases the smell to your nose, and as you sip, the scented air travels through the straw and combines with the water. Your brain interprets this scent as flavour, so it tastes like you’re drinking something fruity, even though it’s just plain water.

Diggers and fire engines, what more could a little one want from a water bottle? Well, we'll tell you; at a pop of a button, the silicone spout pops up to allow your weeny one to drink like a grown-up. One reviewer noted that their daughter coped fine with the button and loved the large grab handle.

Parents love the Nuby water bottles for their durability, practicality, and attractive designs – not to mention the bottles' leak-proof construction, dishwasher-safe feature, and fun patterns, making them ideal for kids and toddlers. Customers have also highlighted the bottles' resilience to drops and frequent washing; M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "I really liked how the button to open the spout was at the back of the bottle; this seemed to make it more intuitive, and easier for my daughter to press and open it herself. It's also a good price for a pack of two because water bottles seem to go missing very quickly in our house, so it's good to have a backup."

Sounds like this water bottle is going to go the distance. A few minor issues have been mentioned in reviews, such as a stiff button or occasional leakage.

If your little one has a bottomless belly and loves to drink, this large-capacity water bottle, with its 600ml capacity—larger than most toddler water bottles — will save you filling up every five minutes.

Reviewers seem to approve of the leak-proof design, agreeing that the water bottle ensures a mess-free sipping experience while moving. The convenient straw allows for easy sipping, and it's kept clean by the flip-top design. Parents think this product is great value for money, suitably resistant to wear and tear, and very functional; however, some find the clasp a little less durable than other bottles we've tested; M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "The clasp for closing the spout doesn't feel as sturdy as some, and it feels like it might snap off with regular use. I love the design of this cheerful bottle, and it's great that it's larger than most - although that does make it a bit heavy for my little one to carry by herself when it's full."

We love the fact that it comes in 16 vibrant designs to suit little girls and boys no matter what your little one is into. Designs include dinosaurs, robots, animals, unicorns, monster trucks, and more.

We've spotted a water bottle that any toddler will be happy to receive. From its colourful, cute design to the flip-top lid with straw that's easily openable for little hands, the TUM TUM Flip-Top Water Bottle is built to last. It's also dishwasher safe; it's made from Tritan plastic, which is designed to be more hard-wearing than normal plastic.

Kids love the cheerful design, and parents appreciate its durability, resilience to drops, and soft straw, which ensures safe drinking for toddlers. A few minor issues come up in reviews, like occasional leaking and difficulty cleaning the straw, but generally, this seems to be a popular product that's suitable for children's daily use; M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "I love the cheerful dog design on this water bottle, and my daughter does too. The spout opens and closes with a reassuring 'click,' so I feel confident it's closed and leak-proof."

The Greens Easy Sip Water Bottle is made of stainless steel that doesn't rust, so it helps to keep your toddler's water cool and is long-lasting. It's easy to hold for toddlers and also has a convenient carry handle. A handy little brush is included for cleaning the straw and spout.

Parents are generally happy with this water bottle's durability, ease of use, and spill-proof features, with one customer describing that theirs has been thrown to the ground many times indoors and outdoors but has held up nicely. M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "We've had two of these in our family for a while now, and they are durable because they're made from steel. They dint if you drop or bang them hard, but a dint is fine compared to if made from plastic and broken. Our first bottle broke - the plastic spout part - after about six months, and I couldn't get hold of any customer service because it was outside the refund time period. The biggest selling point of these bottles is that the water stays cool inside - great for days out in summer."

Other reviews have expressed issues such as broken parts, difficulty cleaning, and leakage. Despite mixed experiences, parents love the kid-friendly size, attractive designs, and the manufacturer's efforts to provide customer support. One downside is that it's harder to see inside the bottle—you can't check how much your child has drunk or how clean it is that easily. It is dishwasher-safe, though.

With a range of pretty designs, the FEIJIAN Kids Water Bottle has a straw lid and helps to keep drinks cool for up to 24 hours. It's spill-proof and has a lock button, too. It's easy to clean, and the lid can go in the dishwasher. Parents have commented on the thoughtful features such as spill-proof locks and comfortable holding.

One stand-out point is that this bottle has a spare straw, which is great if the first one breaks. It also comes with two cleaning sponges and a brush, making it easy to clean and maintain. The button is easy to press, and the handle is at a good angle for little hands. M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "I loved the extra cleaning accessories that came with this bottle, which make it much simpler to clean. My daughter found the button really easy to use and liked holding it as she walked."

What makes this bottle different from others? It's made from stainless steel and is insulated, meaning cold drinks will stay cooler for even longer—great for days out. The brand states that it can be used for hot drinks, too, but we urge caution when giving your child a hot drink in a bottle with a spout.

There are mixed reviews regarding broken parts, difficulty cleaning, and leakage. However, one customer highly recommends the water bottle, with theirs still going strong after a year, and another commented on the fact that theirs has been dropped multiple times with little to no damage at all. Reviews have also mentioned the excellent customer service provided by the company, including swift replacements for damaged parts.

Unlike simple plastic water bottles, this water bottle has many fun designs, but with double-wall insulation, it keeps beverages hot or cold for hours. Again, we would urge caution when putting hot drinks in your child's bottle and only under supervision.

We love that it comes with two lids, including a spill-proof straw lid, and it is made from durable stainless steel; M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "I love that this bottle comes with a stopper top, so it can be used once your little one grows out of wanting a straw. The feel of the bottle is tactile and different from most, which I liked, and my daughter likes holding it, too. The spout is a little stiff for tiny fingers, though."

Although the bottles may not be fully spill-proof, parents seem to think they are worth the investment.

Despite being made from stainless steel, The OLDLEY stainless steel bottle guarantees no funky metallic taste. With its double-walled insulation, it keeps drinks at the perfect temperature, whether refreshingly chilled in summer or warm and cosy in winter - as always, be careful putting hot drinks in your child's bottle. Plus, say goodbye to leaks with its built-in sealing ring and spill-proof dust cover. It also comes with a removable straw and a handy straw-cleaning brush, which reviewers love.

Let's not forget the fun factor – designed with small hands in mind, its size is just right for easy gripping, and your little one can choose from various playful designs like cats, dinosaurs, and cars to match their personality. There's also a handle strap for little ones to grab hold of easily; M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "My daughter likes to use the handle strap, making it easy for her to hold on to; I like the secure close-on the button, meaning it's less likely to be spilled everywhere."

Parents have suggested improvements, such as a slightly longer straw and a fabric holder; however, the customer service is highly commended.

This official Peppa Pig water bottle is super-cute, eco-friendly, and designed to keep your little one hydrated throughout the day with its 400ml capacity and engaging design. It features characters like Rebecca Rabbit, Suzy Sheep, Zoe Zebra, Granny Pig, and George Pig. More importantly, the bottle claims to be durable for everyday use and is leakproof with a child-friendly flip-up spout. It fits most drink holders and is easily cleaned with a removable straw and wide neck.

Parents love the quality of the thick plastic, leak-proof design, and easy cleaning features; however, some reviews have complained about receiving a faulty product.

It is the perfect toddler's water bottle and a practical and fun accessory for kids, to be used at nursery school, on play dates, and for days out; M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "My daughter loves Peppa, so she's obsessed with this bottle and takes it everywhere. It's smaller than some bottles, making it easier for little ones to hold as it's lighter. It's simple and no-frills, but your child won't care about a lack of features if it's got Peppa on the side."
