Water bottles for kids - recommendations?

Hi,
As we live in Cyprus, the kids are already needing to take water bottles to school.
Thing is I'm fed up with buying bottles that leak or can get chewed easily - my daughter is a compulsive chewer and gnaws her way through the 'pop-up' tops you get in bottles such as the EZ-Freeze types (darn shame, coz in every other respect those bottles are fab for keeping drinks cool).
Can anyone recommend a good, durable, chew-proof bottle?
Thanks

we use sigg bottles, have been great. they are about a year old with a few dents and sratches, but haven't leaked.

by 'Pop-up' tops i meant the ones you pull up and push down, think they call them a pull-top!

Buy some water in sports type bottles and refill them daily. If they get too badly chewed they can be replaced cheaply, and it won't be too irritation if they get lost.

2nd what seeker says. I now do that and has saved loads of hassle. It doesn't matter if they get lost or damaged, just produce another from the cupboard.

Don't know about Cyprus but here you can buy a multipack of 12 for £1.50-£2, lasts yonks

And, sods law says they NEVER lose those bottles, only the expensive Sigg ones!
