After trying so many bottles, some of which promised to be "dripless" but failed, we heard of the Camelbak and we LOVE IT.
It's so easy to assemble, easy to clean (dishwasher safe!!!)and no matter hwo many times our kids would drop it and twist it it's still spill-free and not a drop of liquid is to be found outside teh bottle. We've even discovered, by chance, that if you forget to insert the plastic straw after washing it, the bottle is still usable by simply tilting it up and drinking (like regular bottle), as long as you place the mouth-piece on top.
We recomend it to anyone!

I have the larger camelbak bottles but for my daughter going to kindergarten I thought a smaller one would be easier to lug around. The only problem we have is that this one has a button to push at the front to get the bite valve to pop up and its too hard for her to use, I just switched out the top from another bottle and its fine.

I purchased this for my 9 month old son since he always tries to "steal" my grown-up size CamelBak bottle. I'm very surprised that he knows how to drink from it at his age, but he does! Much better than any sippy cup we've purchased. The only thing I have an issue with is cleaning the straw and the bite valve. It is top-rack dishwasher safe, however it seems to collect food and such during the cycle. I only put water in it, so I've just been soaking it in bleach & water to clean it. CamelBak makes a cleaning system for their other products so I'm hoping it will work on this as well.

Great product. My 17 month old was always stealing my Camelbak, but I was afraid he would swallow the bite valve so I bought him this one and the stainless steal one. He loves them. The valve on this bottle is still a bite valve, but it does not come off the cap like the adult versions do--it is actually inserted through the cap from the bottom so he can chew all day on it and it won't come out. My son won't use other kinds of similar bottles because you have to tip them to use them. He used straw sippy cups so I wanted to find a straw water bottle for him. So far, this has been quite durable and we take it everywhere. Good, safe product. Other reviewers said they have trouble cleaning this bottle, cap, and valve. I am not sure why. The valve and straw are easily removed for cleaning.
