Pls recommend toddler (3 yo) water bottle/thermos
Can you please recommend your toddler's water bottle/thermos? My 3 year old currently uses the contigo auto-spout and it's fine but sometimes gets gunky and can be annoying to clean.
Looking for something durable (can hold up to a tempermental toddler) that stays cold for hours and is easy to clean and doesn't have a million tiny parts to assemble.
How is the thermos funtainer? Does the straw get all gross and need to be replaced often? I see they sell replacement straws. Is the spout funtainer better?
Sorry for all the questions, thanks!

I like my Contigo bottle better than the Funtainer. Easier to clean and doesn’t leak.
I have Contigo bottles with and without straws and they have been my favorite so far.

Sorry didnt answer the rest of your question. The spout easily comes out and you put in the dishwasher. Ive never had to replace them.

Pottery Barn Kids has a great one- keeps ice cubes in there for hours.

Re: Pls recommend toddler (3 yo) water bottle/thermos
I love the funtainer. The straws never get gross. I bought a package of replacements when I first bought the thermos because thought I'd need them, but I've never had to use them. It keeps drinks cold all day and everything comes apart super easily to put in the dishwasher. I like that there are no crevices where mold can hide. For a 3 yr old, I would get the one with straws to avoid spills. The spout seems like it's for older kids.
I just tossed our last contigo thermos in the garbage. It was a nightmare to clean. Mold spots kept appearing on the inside of the lid where the straw attached even after sanitizing it. I never let beverages sit in there so I don't know why it kept getting moldy. I used everything to try to get that thing clean but the lids and spouts don't come apart for washing.

Funtainer. And I feel like we’ve tried every other one out there. Funtainer seems to be the best between keeping clean, no leak, keeping drinks cold.
The kids drinks come home cold still from the morning.
