Owala FreeSip Kids Water Bottle 16 oz Celestial Sphere — Insulated Stainless Steel, Locking Push-Button Lid

The Owala FreeSip Kids 16 oz Celestial Sphere is a double-wall insulated stainless-steel bottle with a locking push-button lid and a dual-drink FreeSip spout for easy sipping or swigging.

Designed for active kids and busy parents, this 16-ounce Owala bottle blends a kid-friendly size with grown-up performance. The locking push-button lid keeps the drinking spout protected, while the patented FreeSip mechanism gives two drinking options: sip upright through the built-in straw or tilt back and swig from the wide spout. Durable double-wall insulation keeps cold beverages refreshing for long stretches, and the wide mouth makes filling, cleaning, and adding ice simple.

How does the FreeSip lid make drinking easier for kids?

The FreeSip lid gives two convenient ways to drink so children can choose what feels natural. A built-in straw lets them sip without tilting the bottle, and a wide spout opening allows them to take bigger swigs when they want more fluid flow.

• Built-in straw for upright sipping and fewer spills
• Wide spout for quick swigs and faster hydration
• Push-button release protects the spout from dirt when closed

Is this bottle leakproof and safe for school use?

Yes—the bottle’s push-to-open lid includes a carry loop that doubles as a locking mechanism to help prevent accidental opening in backpacks. Materials are free from BPA, lead, and phthalates, making it suitable for everyday school use.

• Locking carry loop secures the lid during transport
• Leak-resistant design when the lid is shut and locked
• BPA-, lead-, and phthalate-free construction for safer drinking

How long will drinks stay cold, and what care does it need?

Double-wall vacuum insulation helps keep cold drinks chilled for extended periods—ideal for school days and outdoor play. The lid is dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance, while the bottle body should be hand washed to preserve the finish and insulation performance.

• Double-wall insulated stainless steel for long-lasting cold retention
• Wide mouth makes ice and cleaning straightforward
• Dishwasher-safe lid; hand wash the cup to protect coating and seal

What sizes are available and when should I choose 16 oz?

The FreeSip line comes in multiple capacities, including 16, 24, 32, and 40 ounces. The 16-ounce size is tailored for smaller hands, lunchboxes, and shorter outings where a lighter, easy-to-carry bottle is preferred.

• 16 oz: ideal for young kids, lighter weight, fits most school cup holders
• 24–40 oz: better for longer activities or older children who need more fluids
• Choose 16 oz for daily school use, field trips, or sports snacks
