Water Bottle Recommendations

My son is starting reception in September (hopefully). The children can have their own water bottle with their name on at school. The school don't sell them so will need one from elsewhere.
Can anyone recommend a good one?
Thanks

Buy 2 in different colours and swap the kids so it’s unique

I like basic twist sip sistema bottles. Cheap, easy to use, virtually no spill and if they break or disappear (and they will) they can be replaced quickly and easily from your local supermarket.

DS has a Camelbak and it seems really good for nursery. He can open and close it and it doesn't leak.

Mine are a bit older, but they have a standard flip lid (we don't have a dishwasher so straws and suck type bottles are hard to clean well) and I buy vinyl name stickers from ebay for them for £2-3.

I’ve always gone for Smiggle. Their plastic water bottles are sturdy, BPA-free, have a flip top to avoid spills and a handy carrying loop.
As the Smiggle stores have been shut recently, I got this one from Boots www.boots.com/nuby-super-slurp-robot-10275747 and have been pleased with it so far.

I've read bad things about the Sistema bottles harbouring grot in the lid. I never noticed a problem with DD's, but never dismantled it to check; her friend's did look rather dodgy though.

The Smiggle roll up ones - the number of times in the first couple of years I had to buy new bottles as they had been dropped and cracked, I wish I’d known about these earlier! The sale is on now too Smile
