Leaky drink bottles!!

[MONDAYANDBLUE]

OK this has been bugging me for a while...they can put men on the moon....they can split the atom....they can do all sorts of funky things with stem cells.

WHY THE HELL CANT ANYONE MAKE A KIDS DRINK BOTTLE WHICH DOESNT LEAK?

We have brought various cartoon ones...all leaked

A funky non-leaing one from a posh kitchenware company....DS refuses to use it because it leaked everywhere.

We changed to a lunch bag where the bottle stood up but it got knocked over and leaked everywhere.

HOW DIFFICULT SHOULD IT BE?

have you tried a kids to go one.... where the spout folds down....

until its been over used and you get a hole in the crease of plastic where the spout folds, i have found these are quite reliable at not leaking... as long as you screw the lid on properly!

We have had hundreds but finally seem to have found one thats ok so far. Got the dd's one each from woolies, plastic and tall with a pull up top. Think they are £2.99, Dd1 has a witch one ad dd2 a princess one and no leaks yet. They have had them about 2 mths now.

I've given up buying proper bottles, and just have a few little plastic water bottles that we rotate - they don't seem to leak, and it doesn't matter if they get lost either. I know there are concerns about bacteria build-up, but as long as they're washed and air dried every night I figure it's probably OK. Haven't had any ill-effects yet.

Dd has a Sigg one that we have never had any problems with, cost about £15 though.
