Best water bottle
Top pick: Klean Kanteen 12-ounce stainless steel water bottle
We only fill our water bottles with water, and still, anything with a straw gets disgusting after a while. There’s just no way to clean the gunk out from that area. After throwing away too many expensive Camelbaks, we’re now sticking with straw-free.
We like the screw-top water bottle from Klean Kanteen because it's dishwasher-safe and leak-proof. They also sell packs of replacement caps, if the lid gets lost. If your kid has trouble with twist caps, another great straw-less option is the On-The-Fly Lock Top Tritan Bottle by Nalgene. And, of course, if your family needs straws, this option still works great.
