Owala FreeSip Kids 16 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle — Blue Citrus, Leak-Resistant Insulated with Locking Push-Button Lid

The Owala FreeSip Kids 16 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle in Blue Citrus is a leak-resistant, double-wall insulated kids' bottle with a patented dual-way spout and a locking push-button lid.

Designed for active kids and busy families, this 16-ounce Owala bottle pairs a playful Blue Citrus finish with practical engineering: an easy-clean straw for upright sipping, a wide-mouth opening for quick swigs and ice, and insulation that keeps drinks refreshingly cold during playground time, sports, or classroom days. The push-button lid with a carrying loop that doubles as a lock helps keep the spout clean and prevents accidental openings in backpacks.

How does the FreeSip spout make drinking easier for kids?

The patented FreeSip spout gives two simple ways to drink from one bottle: sip upright through the built-in straw or tilt the bottle back to swig from the wide spout. This flexibility suits children who prefer straws as well as those who want a quick gulp without removing the lid.

• Built-in straw for upright sipping without tipping the bottle.
• Wide-mouth spout lets kids tilt and swig when they need a faster flow.
• Single lid accommodates both drinking styles, reducing parts and confusion.

Is this bottle truly leakproof and travel-ready for school or sports?

Yes — the FreeSip includes a push-to-open lid with a secure lock that keeps the spout covered when not in use, minimizing spills. The carry loop locks the lid closed and doubles as a convenient handle for small hands or clips to backpacks.

• Locking push-button lid prevents accidental openings in bags.
• Carry loop serves as a handle and locking mechanism.
• Compact 16 oz size fits most cup holders and backpack pockets.

How well does the bottle keep drinks cold and how do you clean it?

The double-wall insulated stainless-steel cup helps keep beverages cold for long stretches of the day, while the wide opening makes it easy to add ice and to reach inside for cleaning. The lid is dishwasher-safe for convenience, and the cup should be hand washed to preserve the finish and insulation performance.

• Double-wall stainless steel maintains cold temperatures for extended periods.
• Wide-mouth design allows easy ice addition and thorough cleaning.
• Dishwasher-safe lid; hand wash the bottle itself to protect the finish.
