Lightweight yet sturdy, this 16-ounce bottle combines a patented FreeSip spout with double-wall insulation and a carry-loop lock so kids can sip or swig without spills. The Mint Chocolate finish gives it a playful, modern look while keeping beverages cold for up to 24 hours.

How does the FreeSip spout make drinking easier for kids?

The patented FreeSip spout gives two simple drinking options: sip upright through the built-in straw or tip the bottle back to swig from the wide-mouth opening. This flexibility suits younger children who prefer a straw and older kids who want faster flows. The spout is designed to be easy to access with one hand and simple to clean.

• Built-in, easy-clean straw for upright sipping
• Wide-mouth opening for swigging and adding ice
• Push-to-open lid keeps spout protected from dirt

Is the bottle leakproof and safe for schoolbags?

Yes — the bottle includes a push-button lid with a carry loop that doubles as a lock to prevent accidental openings. The lid seals when closed and the lock gives parents and kids extra confidence when bottles are tossed into backpacks or lunch boxes. The cup itself is BPA-, lead-, and phthalate-free.

• Locking push-button lid prevents unintended spills
• Carry loop secures lid while on the move
• Safe, non-toxic materials suitable for kids

How well does the 16 oz stainless steel bottle keep drinks cold?

Double-wall insulated stainless steel keeps cold drinks chilled for up to 24 hours, making this size ideal for a full school day or after-school activities. The insulation also reduces condensation on the outside so backpacks and hands stay dry. Note: the bottle is not intended for hot liquids.

• Double-wall insulation maintains cold temperatures up to 24 hours
• Minimizes external condensation for comfort and cleanliness
• Not recommended for hot drinks; hand wash cup only

What cleaning and care do parents need to know?

The FreeSip’s lid is dishwasher safe, and the cup should be hand washed to preserve the finish and insulation. The wide opening simplifies rinsing and adding ice, and the removable straw allows for thorough cleaning. Following care instructions helps the bottle last and keeps the drinking surfaces hygienic.

• Dishwasher-safe lid; hand wash cup to protect insulation
• Wide mouth for easy rinsing and ice insertion
• Removable straw makes deep cleaning straightforward
