Don't even get me started on how many water bottles I have bought over the last two years. She hasn't lost them, they just seem to break or the seal gives way. If you have one that's lasted, where did you get it?

We have this one, it's lasted about three years so far I think.

Tinc ones are good, or ION8.

Jellycatspyjamas · 29/03/2024 13:06

Another vote for ION8, my DCs have lasted 3 years so far and still going strong.

I bought this one for Dd in September 2022 and it’s still going strong! Been dropped multiple times and absolutely fine. The design hasn’t got a single scratch/mark. Plus easy to clean.

Sistema ones always seem to last well in our house

stayathomer · 29/03/2024 13:22

Another for systema

Camelbak Podium kids" bottles

Thorts · 29/03/2024 14:13

Sistema are good

stargirl1701 · 29/03/2024 14:15

Klean Kanteen. DD1's is still going strong at 10 years old.

mitogoshi · 29/03/2024 14:15

Sistema or just the supermarket version of them. Failing that, use empty mineral water bottles

claudiawinklemansfringetrimmer · 29/03/2024 14:17

We get the polar gear ones, like this (they’re cheaper in supermarkets)

the weird handle bit always breaks but still functions fine. Anything fancier or with a lid like an ion 8 alway gets dropped and broken

Bought a metal one from tkmax I can't remember the name but I'll try and find out so far last over a year!

Didimum · 29/03/2024 19:43

Sistema ones for us.

PoochiesPinkEars · 29/03/2024 19:45

Another vote for ION8 ... Never leaked, survived a few falls, several years old now and still going strong. I have bought replacement seals once when one hit left in a back and some mildew formed on the seal - it was great that you could get easy replacements.

PoochiesPinkEars · 29/03/2024 19:47

Just to add they quite often have ION8 bottles available in tkmaxx so you might pick up a bargain if you look there.

JanewaysBun · 29/03/2024 19:48

Another votw for ion8. Leakproof!

Justploddingonandon · 29/03/2024 19:55

Ion8. Been getting them for years and only broken one when DS accidentally dropped it from height. DD went through a stage of liking to pick the seals out and I was all set to get something cheaper when I realised I could buy replacement seals.

MissFizzyPop · 29/03/2024 21:54

One Green Bottle - 4 years daily use and going strong!

ShowOfHands · 29/03/2024 21:56

We randomly picked up an ION8 for DS in TK Maxx and it's been indestructible. As a result, I've bought one for me as well and they both get dropped and squashed and nary a problem.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 30/03/2024 07:20

I have a Sistema myself and love them but hers did not survive, sadly. Going to investigate the ion8!

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 31/03/2024 23:51

We got an Ion8 and she is completely in love with it. It appears to have a triple lock system, which I approve of
