Sigg Kids Water Bottle (0.4-Liters) Reviews

• I wish I would have known about these sooner!!!! GREAT

  I have 4 kids ranging in age from 15 to 3. From the oldest to the youngest these cups are a BIG hit. Not only do they love these cups, but I have not seen a sippy cup spill or regular cup spill since we brought these cups into our home. I even plan on letting the school aged kids pack them in their lunch boxes.
  
  They are much safer to use, because of what they are made of. The plastic cups I used to use contained a chemical called Bisphenol-a (this chemical is also contained in the plastic used to make a lot of baby bottles). I was sickened and wanted an alternative. I researched for a long time online, and came to the conclusion that these cups were the best option for us.
  
  Kleen Kanteen was an alternate choice, but #1-they are made in China, and #2-they do not have the water soluble lining that the SIGG does(you do not taste aluminum this way).
  
  Also, cleaning these is a breeze, you just use hot water. We have used apple juice, water, milk, chocolate milk, grape juice etc. and no leaks!
  
  I JUST LOVE THESE CUPS AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANY CHILD THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO TWIST THE CAP OPEN AND SHUT. MY 3 YEAR OLD HAS NOT MASTERED THAT YET, SO I WOULD SAY AGE 4 IS MORE APPROPRIATE.
  
  

• Better than plastic, but still has it's flaws

  
  By A2ALA743TKBVNZ on 2008-05-06
  We bought a Sigg bottle and a similar one made by Thermos for our child. I like the spout of the sigg bottle better than the built in straw in the Thermos bottle. However, the Sigg bottle conducts the temperatures through to the outside of the bottle (the Thermos one does not). Thus, if we fill it with ice water, the bottle is freezing cold to hold and 'sweats'. If filled with a hot drink the bottle gets hot to the touch. The Thermos bottle seems to have a level of insulation between the inner wall and the outside of the bottle- thus making it much more comfortable for a child to work with. Also, our child had a little trouble with the twisting open/shut of the spout on this bottle and tended to just leave it open, which does lead to leaking.....
  
  

• No leaking!

  
  By A3M6RQ3104FH5O on 2008-01-07
  I was very hesitant to get these because of the price, but I'm glad I tried it. I'm so happy to find a safe water bottle-- and it DOESN'T LEAK in the lunch box! My 4 and 7 yr olds use these without assistance. The twist-to-open spout was a bit stiff at first, but they can open them easily now. A younger child might have trouble with that type of twist spout without help. The only complaint is the bottle gets really cold, so some sort of holder is helpful. I would definitely buy these again, and hope to get one for myself soon!
  
  

• Super cute, but a little unrealistic.

  I ordered this bottle for my 1 year old daughter. I wanted something that was not made out of the unsafe plastic, which it is. The drinking spout was too hard for her to open, but if I left it open for her, it was NOT leak-proof at all. So, I ended up ordering myself a Sigg bottle with a different spout (that I switched with hers) that was leak-proof & only had to be pushed in a little with the mouth to drink, which she can do just fine. Another thing is that I did not realize that it would dent so easily when dropped. If you have kids, you know that they drop things A LOT! So this bottle is pretty dented up by now, but still very usable anyway. It is a good bottle for a little older kids though.
  
  

• love it

  I love this water bottle! I feel good that my kids drink out of a non plastic bottle. I like that there is a lining in it so that you can put juice in it. I wish it could go in the dishwasher, but I read that was not recommended. The lid that goes over the sippy part is kind of annoying for the baby but you can take that off.
  
  
• Sigg - Like it, don't love it...
  By A373235LJPTNS9 on 2008-06-11
  We generally are happy with our Sigg bottles, however, the bottles are not insulated, so if you put something cold in them, the bottle becomes very cold to the touch. My kids often complain about this. We have other stainless steel bottles that are insulated on the outside that the kids definately prefer. Also, the opening of the Sigg bottles is very small which makes it difficult to clean thoroughly.
  
  
• BPA-Free Solution
  By A3UTB0QKXNY8CB on 2008-06-07
  I purchased this for my 22-month old after learning that most of his sippy cups were made from materials containing harmful BPA. I like this product because it is lightweight and keeps drinks cold. I don't like, but overlook the following: the protective over-cap broke off after 2 days of typical handling by a toddler and liquid leaks out from the drinking spout if bottle is on its side (when drinking spout is in open position). Overall, I like this product and my toddler enjoys drinking out of it. I recommend getting the Sigg Bottle Grip(especially for smaller children).
  
  
• love it

  We love Sigg bottles! The glow in the dark cap is also a BIG HIT!
  
  
• Toddler Loves It
  By A2U2V0ND8EXFX6 on 2008-03-07
  My toddler really like this bottle. She can drink from it with ease. I feel better knowing it's a safer material. I wish it was spill proof but the little twist lock on the spout seems to do the trick when she takes off with the bottle.
  
  
• Perfect for Toddlers
  By on 2008-04-04
  This Sigg bottle is constructed great and perfect for toddlers. My daughter loves the colorful, fun design and feels like a "big Girl" drinking water from the same kind of cup as her mom! I love that the bottle is not plastic. It's great to take along since the water stays cool and doesn't get a plastic taste when left in the sun or stroller.
  
  
• great product
  By A1UXCDBISKG84O on 2008-04-10
  No more buying water bottles. This works great and looks like it'll last forever.
  
  
• Environmentally friendly, easy to use kids water bottle
  By A2AKNT3D4QLC7L on 2008-04-18
  My family and I made a conscious decision to stop buying water packaged in non-refillable plastic water bottles. Part of this was environmental and part of this was due to issues w/chemicals leaching from plastics. I bought two of these for my boys (ages 5 1/2 and 3). They loved the designs of the bottles and the ease of use. Additionally, cold water stays VERY cold in them as the aluminum seems to retain the cold even after hours! I would recommend the flip top lid like the soccer ball one (instead of the cap that you twist on) as it's much easier to open/close and the lid doesn't get in your way when you're trying to drink from it. I didn't give this a 5 star because of the cost.
  
  
• No more plastic water bottles
  By A1LCV4UUBBUW9G on 2008-05-09
  We've been using these water bottles for 2 years now and have been thrilled. The down side first: You can't freeze them and if you kick them around enough the paint will come off. I also wouldn't recommend putting them in the dishwasher. That said, they are so cute: many of the parents on my daughter's teams have asked about them and gotten them for their own children. I worry about the chemicals in plastic water bottles: especially those that have been left in the sun or stored for a long time. I also worry about the effect on the environment. With these I worry about neither. I haven't bought a plastic water bottle in more than 2 years and we used to go through a dozen a week. Each child has his or her own design and I keep them in the door of the fridge to be grabbed for soocer, ballet, trips to the pool, etc. We love them.
  
  
• Sigg's not the best for toddler
  By A1WZ4BAKFBGAL6 on 2008-05-12
  We ordered some kid Sigg bottles when the BPA free recommendations first came out. I like that the water stays pretty cold and doesn't taste funny but they are either open or closed and when you hand a toddler it open it end up all over them. I have had to change my son's clothes twice because he had it with him in the car seat open and it leaked everywhere. I like the adult version with the sports top better i think. You have to push down a little with your lips to drink and my 20 month old almost has the hang of it. Then when thrown in the stroller or car seat it doesn't seem as likely to leak. BUT, now that camelbak has their full line of waterbottles with sippy spouts on them in BPA free we are back to those being our favorite for our son.
  
  
• Reducing plastic
  By A182WPNMLRPVOR on 2008-05-15
  I wanted to find a water bottle for my daughter to take to school instead of buying water in a bottle. She loves using this one! It fits neatly in her lunch box and she knows she is doing her part to save the planet. Easy to clean and light. We'd recommend it highly!
  
  
• siggs bottle
  By A1XZRRZS56MKWW on 2008-05-19
  My kid absolutely loved this bottle, and I do too. The parts are easy to clean--the sipping part comes apart for better cleaning, so no gunk can get build up on it (have you seen your water bottle sipper?)
  The only complaint was there was a slight dent when the bottle arrived, but you have to really check to see it. (that's why it got 4 stars instead of 5) Nevertheless, its lightweight and a definite, better choice than the polycarbonate bottles.
  
  
• Great for Big Kids!
  By A3JE5EHJHOI1QT on 2008-05-22
  After all the craziness with all the plastic cups, I did a lot of research and choose to get my boys some metal drink bottles! I found these Sigg Bottles to be both cute and healthy! My big boys...3.5yrs and 6yrs old got to pick the designs that they wanted (Captain Sharky and Little Soccer Star, respectively). The twist open sport spout is perfect for both my boys to open and close all by themselves! Plus the covered cap is nice for keeping the spout clean! No dings or dents yet and YES they have been dropped!!
  
  I did have to buy a bottle brush to make sure that they were cleaned out well after juice has been in them, especially since they are not suggested to put in the dishwasher! They say the paint will come off if you use a dishwasher! My younger son "lost" his bottle half full of diluted juice for 2 weeks. It was easily washed and cleaned with a few good soaking of HOT soapy water and and some scrubs with a baby bottle brush! Smells fresh and clean. He was so happy to have his "Captain Skarky" back!!!
  
  These are their favorite cups/bottles that they have!!
  
  
• Love it! Perfect size for kids and dogs!
  By A2SZ409T152HBG on 2008-05-25
  I got this Sigg bottle for my 4 dogs when we go to the dog park. It keeps the water cool, is very tough, clean, and doesn't leak! I bought a bigger size for myself and love it!! Best of all, the water tastes like water, and its very durable!
  
  
• Nice Bottle for Kids
  By AIUJZEFTJBA4L on 2008-05-25
  Nice bpa-free bottle. Not too heavy or hard to clean. The kids love the bright colors and patterns available.
  
  
• Good product, but not if you want to worry about leaks
  By AXM49VKU4FNTR on 2008-05-27
  This is a great product - clearly for the health-safety reasons. The only thing to get used to is that this is not a regular "leak-proof" sippy cup. It will leak, profusely, if left on it's side. For older kids, they can likely learn to remember to close it, but for young preschoolers, that's not so easy.
  
  
• child approved
  By A1SR0S3TSIEYSS on 2008-06-02
  i like the product, the colorful design you cannot compare to the plastic sippy cups. the only thing i didn't like is that it isn't spill proof all the time, you have to close (twist motion) for it to be spill proof. very easy to take apart and wash spout and my 2yo loves it.it's his favoorite cup doesn't even ask for superhero cup now.
  
  
• Nice quality
  By A3R6OISB6I2KYG on 2008-06-03
  The kids bottles are great for toddlers that are used to using sports caps. If your kid is used to using a zippy staw they will not like this.
  
  
• Beautiful bottle!
  By A1MUQUK1M4UK16 on 2008-06-08
  My 7-year-old daughter absolutely adores her new water bottle! The picture does not do this justice. The graphics are very pretty. It is well made and everything both this mom and a "girly" girl could want.
  
  
• Highly recommend
  By A35FJTXJMCC5F8 on 2008-06-16
  These are nice little bottles. I only wish you could freeze them to keep the contents colder longer. I also recommend purchasing the neoprene cover as these bottles do sweat and the covers easily attach the bottle to a bookbag, stroller, diaper bag, etc.
  
  
• Good Bottle
  By A39P1H6YB3A5AO on 2008-06-18
  My toddler loves it, its very cute and keeps the water cold for very long time.
  
  
• great alternative to plastic bottles
  By A3KT5P05TXZJUT on 2008-06-25
  I love Sigg bottles. The .4L bottle is perfect for my preschoolers, and with a little practice, they got the hang of opening and closing it. The bottle fits nicely into their lunch boxes, but doesn't weigh it down too much.
  
  
• kids water bottle
  By A1WHZVZMIGGAZG on 2008-06-29
  This light weight water bottle is just the right size for my 4-6 year olds. We took these on a long car trip. The kids were able to properly use them and they saved many spills. I would recommend these.
  
  
• very nice, my girls love to drink from these bottles.
  By A35ALCEHPHI15A on 2008-07-05
  Great non toxic drinking option. My two girls (3 and 17 months) love to drink from these bottles, so they actually stay hydrated. The only downside is that they will dent when dropped. This does not affect perfomance, just appearance.
  
  
• SIGG water bottles are AWESOME!!!
  By A14TKA0UV50XKB on 2008-07-07
  I love this product. I got the Funny Rex model for my 2-1/2 year old son and he loves it! It's cute, it's convenient and it's recyclable...love it!
  
  
• Great water bottle
  By A64KJ7F4ENRY4 on 2008-07-18
  I bought this water bottle for my 4-year-old son. His school requires each kid bring a bottle of water every day for outdoor use. This is actually his 4th water bottle in one year. I like this water bottle because it is safe for kids comparing to plastic bottles. It comes with a lid and is spill-proof which makes it more sanitary to use. For the first couple of weeks, my son needed a little help twist the top sipping part (it needs to be twisted to let the water come out). After a while, it became easier for him to twist and now he can use it all by himself. So far, it has been a great water bottle!
