Totally leak proof water bottles for kids

We have the Camelbak Eddy but the DCs chew the spouts and forget to close them in their bags.
We also have Sistema but the lids don't seem to fit after a while, or maybe they just aren't interchangeable and we've lost one bottle and a different lid?
DD also tends to put hers in her bag without closing it so again they leak.
Are there bottles where the lid closes automatically?
DS chews everything and the standard sports caps last about a week.

Ok I'm off to browse in Wilkos and TK Maxx. In fact DD who is just little/forgetful/silly is a bit more of a bother than DS who has official SEN. I've decided to just get him some more Sistema (and I'm hoping maybe a full clear out of the cupboard might reveal a matching top for the one remaining bottle or vice versa).

Camelback flip top ones. The bottles last forever, can go in the dishwasher and you can buy packs of replacement spouts on amazon.

Do you mean the Eddy ones?
They do leak. Especially if you don't put the spout down (DD) or bite them (DS).
I found two Sistema bottles and one cap Hmm but that's two bottles for DS.

Hurrah! Contigo do a kids one with a slightly smaller grip and they were £4 each in the clearance section of TK Maxx so I got two for DD.

She has bladder issues and should really drink more so hopefully this will work for her.

I did find the ion8 which would work if DD remembered to shut them, I think she would in theory remember but there's always the odd occasion.
There are so, so many screw top bottles out there though that even I can't get the tops back on! I was on the lookout for one for DN's 15th birthday also and ruled out most of them immediately!

And further hurrah - DD can drink from it.
It says 3+ and it might be a stretch for a small 3 year old.

We had the contigo swish many moons ago and if I remember rightly chucked them when we forced all the bits apart due to mould 😬

These aren't specifically for kids but they are the best we have found over the years and dc 7 and 8 take them to school every day, as do many of their friends.

Yes, it's the smaller contigo one my son has used for the last few years (since 4 ish) too - honestly they're so fab!

Went back and got DS a bigger Contigo after someone (DH I'm looking at you) left his Sistema open in his bag.
