THERMOS FUNTAINER 16 Ounce Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Bottle with Wide Spout Lid, Sonic

I don't need a big jug in my car, I need something that fits in my cupholder and that I can pick up with one hand, easily. This one is great for me, I don't love wrestling with a bigger, heavier water bottle while driving. At all. I love the fact that it pops open with a press of a button. I love the fact that, when it's closed (with a nice, satisfying snap), I can toss it into the passenger seat without ever worrying if there will be a wet spot over there. Now, I know it was originally designed for kids, but I've been using water bottles in my car for years, so many different kinds I've lost count, and in the end I realized they're all too big. I swear I don't have small hands, either. I guess it's a personal thing. Anyway, I found one in a discount store once, fell madly in love with it, left it somewhere a year later, really, really missed it, and then remembered that it was made by Thermos, and hunted for it on Amazon, and it really made me happy to be able to replace it. The colors on this new one are even better than my first one. So there you go, one man's opinions on a beautiful water bottle made for kids.

The THERMOS FUNTAINER 16 Ounce Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Bottle with the wide spout lid has been a total game changer for school days! My daughter absolutely loves it and brings it with her every single day. The size is just right for her lunchbox—big enough to stay hydrated, but not too bulky to carry.The wide spout lid makes it super easy for her to sip water or even enjoy smoothies without any mess. The bottle keeps drinks cold all day long—even through gym class and recess—which is a huge win in our book. No leaks, no weird flavors, and no spills in the backpack.Plus, the fun designs make it extra special—she picked one with her favorite color and proudly shows it off at lunch. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, and holds up to the daily school hustle. This is hands-down one of the best school gear purchases we’ve made! 💧🎒👏

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love these for school. They fit in the side pocket of backpacks and easy to clean since there isn't a straw. The other water bottles we had with straws were so hard to clean, this is much better! They are durable and keep the water cold for hours even in the Florida heat. They don't leak. Lots of fun options for colors as well!

Holds a lot of water for a 6 year old. Fits into a standard size backpack cup holder. Very functional and easy to open the top. It has never leaked or opened up on its own. ALWAYS handwash or else you risk losing the images. Fun Mario pattern! Easy to carry!

We got this for my daughter for Easter and she's been drinking out of it all day every day ever since. She LOVES it. I love that it is super easy to clean, and that the locking lid ensures that it doesn't spill at all. It keeps the water cold all day too, which is great. It was pretty affordable, and since it's Thermos brand I felt sure that it will last for many years. I have only hand washed it so far, and will probably continue to do so to make sure that the print doesn't flake off at all, as can sometimes happen with metal water bottles in the dishwasher. I also just noticed today that there is a rubberized grip pad in the handle, which is pretty neat! Makes it easier to hold and tighten the cap even when a little wet.

The high durability and simple design reminds me of astronaut equipment however an actual straw would be necessary to reduce spillage.

My son loves these. The bigger size is nice so he has enough water for the school day.

Love thermos water bottles. Always leak proof, damage proof from rough handling of a boy in sports. I love the open mouth spout so it's easy to clean (no moldy straws). From my previous purchases, I wouldn't ever put water bottles in the dishwasher again because the outside casing comes off, but I don't mind because it's so easy to wash by hand! Highly recommend!
