Why can't I find a leak proof water bottle???

[Darcey37]

Just that. Please help. I'm throwing good money after bad. Dd has various activities as well as school and every bottle I get leaks eventually.

I get this is a first world problem, any help/ suggestions please mumsnet???

My Chillys one seems to be pretty good. I had it for Xmas and it's done long days in my handbag since then with no leaks.

Dopper. They don't leak, don't break and look fine.

Chillys bottles are absolutely excellent.

As are the Camelback eddys. Both absolutely well worth the money

They don't exist.

Try ion, I have got 2 from tk maxx and neither have leaked yet.

How easy are those recommended above for a small child to operate?

Definitely chillys, although depends on the age of the child as they can be tricky to open.

I have 5 Sistema Trio bottles (usually from Sainsbury's) - they screw together in 3 pieces, easy to clean and none have ever leaked - and they've suffered extreme provocation!

Costco do a set of 3 that are fine for us up to now... absolute pain to clean inside the lid properly though !

Contigo. They're easy to operate for small hands too. They are pricy but worth it.

Contigo Leak Proof Ashland Outdoor Bottle available in Red/Grey - 710 ml www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VAN63EI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nmLnCb8704RNY?tag=mumsnetforum-21

I got this one after a series of leaking otters from places like Sports Direct and the supermarket. No leaks yet, and my 2 year old can drink from it so it's definitely child friendly.

Camelbak chutes work here - we’ve had 5 of them on the go for years and never had a leak. Also have a couple of Aladdin ones which have never leaked in 5+ years of use but we bought them in the US and not sure if they’re available here.

I don't think one exists. I too have yet to find one. I disagree with the contingo recommendations, mine started leaking after about 6 months.

Another vote for Contigo. Expensive but better than buying several cheap ones that don't last.

Leaking bottles not otters!

Another vote for sistema

Contigo often have the straws that come loose inside...

Camelbak Eddy all the way. DD has had one since Reception when I got fed up of all the others leaking. They're about £13 from eBay but worth every penny. You can get replacement spouts and straws too.

I have a Kleen Kanteen one for probably 12 years and it’s never leaked. My dd has one from the Little Green Bottle Co and it doesn’t leak either (unless she leaves it open in her bag!).

Ion - they’re brilliant. My child has played football with his across the playground and it survived - 12months in and no leaks yet!

The design of the sistema trio is a very similar principle to the dopper, although it looks like it's harder to open and less stable when used in the cup function than the dopper

I'm not in the uk but theyve become popular to the point of ubiquity in the last 5 or so years here. Most people seem to have the basic ones but I've heard the new, bigger stainless steel ones are just as good

Chilly bottle!

I have the contigo which seems very sturdy. My 4 year old uses it. However it is big for a child's one.

old fruit shoot bottles here. as long as she does not chew the tops
