Hydro Flask Kids Bottle

Dad Approved

★★★★☆

What's good

  • + Actually keeps ice for a full school day
  • + Wide mouth doesn't get gunky like the straw lids
  • + Survives the inevitable drop down the stairs

What's not

  • − Pricier than it has any right to be for a kids bottle

We went through a graveyard of leaky, mold-growing kids’ water bottles before landing on this one. The wide mouth is the underrated feature here — way easier to actually clean, which means it gets used instead of abandoned at the bottom of the backpack.

Ice still rattling around at pickup time, every time. That’s really all I need from it.
