Help Me Shop - Drink Thermos for Preschooler

[greenmonkey1]

Opened the fridge this morning to find that DS1 and DS2's cups are not spill proof and emptied in their lunch bags that were all nicely packed.  At least my fridge shelf is now clean!

Any recommendations for a good spill proof drink thermos a preschooler can open?  They bring their own lunch and need a drink.  Neither like the Horizon milk in a box and they are not allowed juice boxes (not healthy says the school) so really they will drink water.

TIA!

How big are you looking for? I just got my kids a 20 oz Contigo bottle. It keeps their drink cool all day and is leak and spill proof.

I like this bottle. It is a bit tricky to open but has a spout and no straw so it is easy to clean.

Bubba straw bottles from Walmart. They are the only ones that have lasted - we have Contigo, Thermos, Sistema and several that are hand wash only, which is a PITA.

Camelbacks are also good but spendier for kids who may lose them.

We have some camelback ones that I've gotten on sale from Amazon. If you're not picky about the pattern, they have good deals randomly pop up.

The Thermos ones are pretty decent too.

We use Thermos Funtainers.

We use the Thermos Funtainers with the straw for water and haven't had any problems so far. We use a small Thermos with a twist off cover for her milk.

We use thermos funtainers strictly now. We've tried lots and they're the best.

The camel backs are good if your kid won't chew the spout. They have insulated ones that we like but ds is a chewer.

Thank you!

sandandsea Thanks for the warning, DS2 is definitely a chewer.

Help me shop for all the fall clothes. Bonus points for layer and warmth, and I need shoes too. Business casual to dressy weekend and casual weekend type clothes. I don't want to spend much because I need a lot of stuff probably so each item needs to be not too pricey under $50.

I do have several long sleeve shirts, so I need maybe shirts or blouses or sweaters to layer over them, and I love lightweight sweatshirts.

I'll pay more for shoes because of comfort. For example, unless its really cold boots are usually too hot, booties are OK but for now weather wise too hot, so I am wearing tennis shoes at work due to my host of foot issues. I live in sandals in the summer. Probably need something comfortable and cute for fall that is not a boot or tennis shoes. Most flats are uncomfortable to me, and loafers tend to rub the back of my foot.

CrazyLucky Probably smaller than 20 oz, especially for the younger one. I imagine contigo has smaller versions. Thanks!

Add us to team Thermos, though we have a couple of Nalgene. The thermos brand stays really cold.

We use camelback and the Thermos ones others mentioned. I think drinks stay colder in the Thermos but I hate cleaning it (the straw and lid part are much smaller). They do make replacement straw parts now for the Thermos ones which is nice.
