 child approved June 2, 2008
my 2yo loves it, design very nice; however, not spill proof all the time have to close (twist motion) for it to be spill proof. very easy to take apart spout and wash
 Perfect for little kids June 2, 2008
I purchased this water bottle for my friends 2 year old to give a safer option from the plastic bottles. The 2 year old loves having her own water bottle. The sport top only has an open or closed option so it created some small messes when it was left open. The 2 year old does like the sports tops that come on the .6L which are a no leak push to open.
Love it! May 30, 2008
This water bottle is great! It's the perfect size for my 20 month old, who drinks from it all the time.
Good option to plastic, BUT.... (2 little negative features) May 29, 2008

I bought this for my 11 month old daughter after seeing how much she liked my SIGG bottle. (And of course, it is a great alternative to BPA plastics.)
Why not 5 stars? Two things:
(1) It dents. Just a warning. It is not so forgiving to drops as plastic water bottles, but it is all cosmetic.
(2) The lid that comes with it twists up and down and that is not only hard for little hands but also makes it a leaky cup (even for my 3 year old who forgets to close the lid). I suggest that you buy an additional "active" lid, which seals by itself to be leak-proof when the child isn't drinking. My daughter loves the active lid. It keeps her from drowning from too fast of a flow. (When you buy another active lid, buy the whole lid, because some of the mud caps have different sized hinges and can't just be popped from one bottle top to the next, as you might expect them to be able to do.)
It is very portable and doesn't leak unless you leave the valve open. I put it in my bag without worries, which I didn't do with any other sippy cups.
 Not good for my 3-year-old May 28, 2008

I bought a Sigg bottle for my 3-year-old daughter based on the glowing reviews. While I'm glad so many have had positive experiences with theirs, it hasn't worked out for us. First of all, everyone says how "durable" their bottle is. My daughter dropped hers exactly *once* onto our tile kitchen floor - and remember, she's only 3 feet tall - and it dented. Didn't scratch the powder-blue paint, but I was hoping for more from a "lifetime" purchase. Secondly, the external cap that looks like a rounded baseball cap is difficult for her to snap on. She's not the most dextrous kid on the block, but still, it requires two kid hands. Third, when you twist the bottle top to open the spout, there's no noticeable way to tell whether it's open or closed. There's a double-headed arrow but it has no verbiage or icons to show OPEN/CLOSED. The adult eye can tell that the stem in the center is low or high. So a person picking it up for the first (or second) time might wonder, is it open or closed? Fourth - and I'm just being picky now - when the bottle is empty, if the "baseball cap" isn't closed, the bottle's somewhat top-heavy and therefore easy to accidentally send skidding.
The non-leaching aspect is attractive but to me it doesn't outweigh the other issues. Tap water is good in our area, so we don't carry enough water with us to have an ongoing need for a truly safe portable water bottle. If it were, I'd be scouting for other alternatives.
