Description
This kids' water bottle is printed all the way round with sharks, including a hammerhead, a spotted shark and a great white, swimming across a clear plastic body so the drink shows through. It holds 450ml, a sensible amount for a child to carry and finish, and stands 17.5cm tall, 6.9cm wide and 7.4cm deep, so it suits small hands. The flip lid and carry strap come in a slate blue that picks up the cooler greys and blues of the sharks, and the whole bottle weighs only 103g, light enough to carry all day.
We like it for school days, trips to the park and long car journeys, wherever a child wants a drink close at hand. The polyester carry strap loops round the neck on a small plastic ring, so the bottle can hang from a wrist, thread through a bag handle or hook over a buggy. It slips into a backpack side pocket and stands upright on a desk or a picnic blanket. The flip lid keeps the drinking spout covered between sips, so fewer grubby fingers reach the part they drink from. Children who love sharks will enjoy spotting the different kinds as the water level drops.
The body is made of PCTG plastic, and the lid combines PP and PCTG plastics with silicone and metal parts: a hinged cap with a push button and a small catch, sitting over a short spout. The whole lid screws off the wide neck, which makes filling and washing straightforward. As general good practice, wash it by hand in warm soapy water, rinse well and leave the parts to dry with the lid open before putting it back together. It makes a cheerful, practical present for a child who is mad about the sea; fill it the night before and leave it by the door for the morning rush.
