The leakproof stainless steel design offers two drinking methods — a built-in straw and a standard opening — and the lid is dishwasher-safe, which is always a win in our books. Plus, the push-to-open lid keeps the spout clean. Let’s be real, your kid is exposed to enough germs as it is.


And if you’re an Owala fan yourself, we always recommend getting a mini version for your kiddo. Because if they have a water bottle that looks just like Mom’s or Dad’s, maybe they’ll stop drinking from yours. (Why must they always do that?!)


The cult favorite has 9 thousand 5-star reviews on Target.com from shoppers who call it a “must-have.”


“Just get it,” one shopper insisted. “The best water bottle on the market! I like that I don’t have to worry about mold because every part of the bottle is easily cleaned.”


“Best. Bottle. Ever.” another said. “We’ve tried every big brand of water bottles and there is a clear winner here … Keeps ice and drinks cold for hours. Has both options to chug and sip. Has a nice handle that locks so it doesn’t leak! It has a nice button you press to open so that we are never touching the mouthpiece just to drink. Check, check, and check! ALL THE CHECKS.”
