THERMOS FUNTAINER Water Bottle with Straw, 12oz, Blue

We have had this for a little while now. I wanted to wait to write a review after my toddler had some time to really put it through the wringer. Aside from the great design that my son loves, it has held up really well. It still looks brand new. What I really loved about this is that it does not leak. I have had trouble with many of the "leak proof" cups I was getting him, in fact leaking. although there was one time, I thought the thermos was leaking it was my fault for not properly inserting the straw, so user error was the culprit. It keeps drinks cold for a long time and is easy to clean. I would say it's definitely worth the price.

My daughter switched to this bottle with no problems at all. It is a little big for her right now, but she doesn’t seem to mind, and I like that it’s something she can continue using as she grows. It keeps her water cold, the straw is easy for her to use, and the lid is simple to open and close. My only small complaint is that the stainless steel does show little fingerprints, but that’s purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect how well it works. Overall, we’re very happy with it.

Here’s my detailed review of the THERMOS FUNTAINER Water Bottle after thoroughly testing it with my kids. **Pros:** 1. **Insulation Performance:** The stainless steel vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold for hours. My kids' water stays refreshingly cool even on hot days, making it perfect for school and outdoor activities. 2. **Durable Build:** The stainless steel construction is robust and can withstand drops and rough handling. A real plus for active children. 3. **Easy to Use:** The push-button lid makes it easy for kids to open and close the bottle on their own. The pop-up straw is a hit, making drinking fun and spill-free. 4. **Hygienic & Safe:** The integrated carry handle and covered straw keep the drinking area clean and free from dirt. Plus, it's BPA-free, ensuring safe use for kids. 5. **Compact Size:** The 12-ounce capacity is perfect for little hands, fitting nicely into lunchboxes and backpacks without adding too much weight. 6. **Appealing Design:** The teal color is vibrant and appealing. My kids love the look, making it more likely they'll stay hydrated. 7. **Easy to Clean:** It’s dishwasher safe (top rack), making cleanup a breeze for busy parents. The wide opening is also convenient for manual washing. **Cons:** 1. **Non-Leakproof Lid:** Although generally reliable, the lid can occasionally leak if not closed properly. It's important to ensure it’s tightly secured. 2. **Straw Cleaning:** The straw mechanism requires thorough cleaning to prevent any mold build-up. Regular maintenance is necessary to keep it sanitary. The THERMOS FUNTAINER Water Bottle with Straw is an excellent choice for kids. Its insulation, durability, appealing design, and ease of use make it a standout product. Despite minor issues like occasional leaking and the need for careful straw cleaning, its benefits far outweigh the cons. A great investment for parents looking to keep their kids hydrated in style!

I researched metal toddler cups forever before deciding on this one and I’m so happy I went with Thermos. We have 2 of these cups for my 2-year-old and they’re great. They are super sturdy (my daughter has quite the arm and throws her cups daily from up in her high chair). They leak if they’re laying on their side with the top open, but that’s kind of to be expected. We just make sure to keep the top shut when my daughter isn’t drinking from it. It’s very easy to open and my daughter does it herself no problem. The little handle is perfect for toddlers to carry it themselves. They keep water cold for a long time; I find ice stays frozen in there for a while. They’re easy to take apart and clean. I like that the straw is clear so you can see if there’s anything in it. You can also buy replacement parts for the straw sections of the cup which is great. They’re dishwasher safe and fit in a standard car seat cup holder (all these were an absolute must for a toddler cup for our house). We have this butterfly one and the strawberry one. Neither have chipped or faded yet and they’re washed and dishwashed regularly. One goes to daycare with my daughter and has held up very well. Overall extremely happy with these cups and highly recommend for a toddler.

These are my favorite! Stainless steel but more lightweight. Cute prints and a handle which makes it easier for my toddler to use. It’s only leak proof when the top is shut, but we prefer that. Great cup!

I bought this Thermos specifically for my 1.5-year-old son. We take water everywhere, so I needed a bottle that could survive daily travel, keep water cold in the car, and—most importantly—be easy enough for a toddler to operate independently. ​The Button: The push-button lid is the highlight. My son can open it himself without frustration, which is a huge win for his independence. ​Insulation: It keeps water cold for several hours, even when left in a warm car during errands. ​Cleaning: As a parent, I appreciate that the straw comes apart completely. It’s easy to hand wash and I don’t worry about mold hiding in the crevices. ​Portability: The handle is great for his small hands to carry, though there is one small design flaw (see below). ​Pros: Truly Leakproof: We haven't had any spills in the diaper bag. ​Durable: The dinosaur design hasn't chipped or faded after multiple washes. ​Lightweight: Even when full, it's not too heavy for a toddler. ​Cons: ​The Handle Pinch: Be careful with the folding handle. It has a hinge point that has occasionally pinched my son’s fingers when he’s carrying it. We’ve had to teach him to hold it a specific way. ​Verdict: This is so effective that I already bought a second one for my older son. If you have a toddler who wants to "do it myself," this is the best bottle we've tried—just watch those little fingers around the handle!

Bought this for my son and it’s held up great so far. Keeps water cold for hours, even after being in his backpack all day. The straw is easy for him to use on his own, no leaking that we’ve noticed. Size is perfect for school and it’s easy to clean. Good quality for the price would buy again.

We’ve tried many different water bottles for babies, toddlers, and kids. This water bottle is perfect for ages 3 and up. I love this brand. It could leak if left on its side, but that’s why it’s best for ages 3 and up. This is a great water bottle brand.

Lo compré porque los vasos de popote de plástico para mi hijo ya se habían impregnado de olor a fórmula podrida (puedo suponer que a más de un papá o mamá le ha pasado). El plástico absorbe olores y a la larga salen hongos y se hace imposible su uso. Llevo en uso de este termo un par de meses y vivo en Mérida, dónde lo que no se refrigera se pudre rápidamente. Y este termo cumplió su promesa de conservar la temperatura del líquido y evitar que se pueda (aunque este último punto no es parte de sus características). Yo no esperaba mucho de la conservación del líquido, más bien buscaba el acero inoxidable para evitar la absorción de olores, y quedé gratamente sorprendida porque sí conserva el líquido y no absorbe olores. Es fácil de lavar y de quitar ambos popotes de plástico. La tapa no se abre por accidente en el coche ni en la mochila, pero si es accesible de abrir por un niño de 2 años. Resiste golpes y múltiples caídas sin romperse. El estampado de va cayendo con las lavadas, pero no creo que eso afecte a su aspecto, ya que el color del vaso junto con la tapa y la base no se pierden. No tiene mecanismo que previene derrame de líquido si el termo es volteado boca abajo estando abierto. Pero con adecuada vigilancia funciona. Muy buenas compra.

I previously owned 2 of this thermos model, I like them so much that I've decided to buy it again a third time and for the first time at Walmart, unfortunately Walmart didn't send me the color and model I've selected, so I've returned it. I didn't want to post the Walmart misfortune experience here but since I've tried to give my honest review on their website which they rejected it, that was one of the reason why I've decided to reordered this product on Amazon again. My order came very fast with Prime and I am very satisfied. My 3 years old started to use this thermos since she was 2 years old. It's very easy to use. I only wished that the straw was durable or maybe it's just my toddler nibbling on it too much. I had to replace the straw 2 or 3 times in a year. Hand washing it is easy too with the right brushes. I haven't tried it on the dishwasher yet. I highly recommend it and I strongly advise buying extra straw with this thermos. I hope my review can be helpful.

Great thermos for little kids, delivery took longer than stated. But all in all good product.

Segura bem a temperatura e é durável.

mantiene el cafe muy caliente, lo recomiendo
