7 Good and Safe Drinking Bottles That Moms Must See

As a mother who often takes care of her children's lunches, I'll be honest... finding a good water bottle isn't easy. It's not enough to just be cute and colorful; it also has to be durable, easy to wash, and, of course, free of harmful substances. Kids these days are incredibly active, so choosing a bottle isn't something to be taken lightly.

So, since I've tried various models and materials, I'd like to share 7 recommendations for good drinking bottles that are definitely safe for your little one. I've written everything based on my experience and research, so you can rest easy and your kids stay happy! And of course, you can buy all of these products online from trusted stores. So convenient, right?

Why is it so important to choose a safe drinking bottle?

I've read that bottles containing BPA can negatively impact children's health, from hormonal disruption to the risk of long-term illnesses. This is especially true if the bottles are used repeatedly or for hot water. It's pretty scary, isn't it?

So, since I learned about this, I've started to be more selective. I make sure my baby's bottle:

• Made from food grade materials
• BPA-free and free from other toxins
• Easy to clean and durable
• Fits into your child's lifestyle (whether it's school, tutoring, or traveling)

That's why I always look for a good water bottle, not just one that looks cute to my kids. The important thing is that it's comfortable to use and easy to carry around.

How I Choose a Drinking Bottle for My Child

At first, I thought all bottles were the same. But it turns out, different activities require different bottles. So now I use this guideline:

For preschool or kindergarten children

• Light duty
• Cute design to attract children to drink
• There is a silicone or spill-proof straw

For elementary school children

• Larger size (min. 400 ml)
• Leak-proof when put in a bag
• Easy for children to open by themselves

For family (traveling together)

• Stainless steel is more durable
• Can maintain the temperature of drinks
• The appearance is not childish
