The Stanley tumbler is a status symbol that is trending even for babies

If you aren't already carrying around a Stanley, Hydro Flask, Yeti or other reusable tumbler, you are definitely late to the trend. Even babies have tumblers now, and according to a new study from Custom Ink, reusable water bottles are seen by many as a status symbol.

Custom Ink recently published findings from a study it conducted about trendy reusable water bottles. For the study, it gathered data from Google Trends and social media sites and surveyed 3,000 people to figure out which water bottle brands were favored and what people thought about them.

Some key findings from the study are:

• Based on the survey, Stanley is the most searched water bottle brand on Google in 19 states and the water bottle with the best reputation.

• Yeti, Hydro Flask and Stanley are the most-owned water bottle brands.

• Klean Kanteen was rated the highest-quality brand.

• 49% of people believe that owning a specific water bottle is seen as a status symbol, and 51% do not.

• 82% of respondents said a water bottle brand's reputation influences their purchasing decisions.

• In New Jersey and seven other states, Brita was the most searched water bottle brand.

When it comes to water bottles as a status symbol, the study found opinions split down the middle.

Overall, Yeti, Stanley and Hydro Flask were more commonly associated with higher status. Additionally, the idea that 82% in the survey said the reputation of water bottles affects their purchasing decisions could illustrate the way social media popularity influences our opinions, according to the study.

"Water bottles play a flexible role in our lives — both as a necessary part of a healthy and sustainable lifestyle and a coveted accessory, giving them the power to elevate our status, signal to our communities, and ground us in our most common, everyday needs," the study said. "Quality, price, and functionality are crucial for many respondents when purchasing a water bottle, but many respondents also agree that brand reputation has influence."

A baby Stanley?

It seems even babies are hopping on board the trend, carrying around their own Fisher-Price tumblers.

But they aren't being forced to crawl through a shopping-aisle brawl to get to the cup, which will make its way to Wal-Mart and Amazon very soon.

"Excited to share that Fisher-Price is launching its own playful version of the viral stainless-steel mug for young ones. The best part: it involves no overnight campouts at Target and chaotic matchups to get it!" said a statement from Mattel that was originally given to Scary Mommy.

The almost $10 toy for babies and toddlers is a coffee mug with a handle and narrow base, similar to the trendy Stanley Quencher. The toy has colorful lights, over 20 songs and phrases, and "fun hands-on activities to explore." If you open the lid of the cup, you will see "mocha-colored" rattle beads on one side and a "cute matcha latte swirl" on the other side.

With this tiny to-go cup, even babies can hop on the tumbler trend and show off their high-level status at day care.
