I care about the environment, and my kids do too. That's why I jumped on the chance to try a new Kids Limited Edition Hydro Flask. We love reusable water bottles, but often find them too big or too bulky to carry, or there's no handle, and we set them down somewhere and -- poof! -- a $20 water bottle is gone, forgotten on some bench or picnic table.
But the Hydro Flask is the like the little water bottle that could. It's the perfect size for little hands to carry without mama's help. It snuggles right into my son's lunch box and doesn't leak. It fits under a drinking fountain nozzle, making it easy to fill up to the brim.
But what I love the most? It's so colorful and cute. We took the Hydro Flask and another reusable water bottle on our recent family trip to Washington D.C. The other bottle -- a dull-colored one that we found out too late leaked in our backpack -- didn't make it back to Erie. We're not sure where we lost it, but I hope it's found a good home somewhere.
The Hydro Flask, however, made it all the way to D.C. and all the way back home with us again. I credit its successful journey to its super bright colors that stood out whenever my kids put it down somewhere. I'd glance back to where they'd been sitting, and -- pop! -- the poor forgotten Hydro Flask was calling out to me to come back for it. It also has a handle that makes it easy to hold -- and harder for kids to lose.
Thoughtful design, extras
The Hydro Flask also kept our water super cold. The bottle is made of an insulated stainless steel, which does an excellent job of keeping water chilled. That was a nice bonus on sweltering hot August days in D.C. The ice cubes I'd put in at lunch would last all afternoon and through multiple fill-ups at drinking fountains along the way. Refreshing, for sure!
Another thoughtful design bonus: The grippy bottom makes it difficult for little elbows to send the Hydro Flask flying and creating a mess.
I asked my kids their favorite part about the Hydro Flask. Their answer: The sticker! When we opened the lid for the first time, we were surprised to find two plastic straws inside, along with a butterfly sticker. I did some research and found out each bottle comes with its own custom sticker designed by a Bend, Oregon, artist named Megan Myers. The sticker is such a cute detail that really personalizes our bottle.
