ZULU Torque 16oz Plastic Kids Water Bottle with Silicone Sleeve and Leak-Proof Locking Flip Lid

I originally found these at a Costco and should've bought more while they had them. The bottles are great and are easily the best I've found for my son. They stand up to abuse, are resilient to chew marks, and don't leak. My original ones were lost during a summer camp so I needed to purchase replacements, which have lasted most of a school year already and still look brand new. If you've gone through bottles that don't last and are looking for the best, this is it!

I bought these for my kids. They are leak proof…unless they leave the cap open. Not the water bottle’s fault, I just need to work with my kids on keeping the lid closed so their backpacks don’t get soaked. Overall a good quality water bottle that cleans well and keeps the kids hydrated.

I like these water bottles so I got one for each kid. They are transparent so I can see how much liquid is left over, they can travel easily or stay at home, and I can color coordinate for each kiddo.Also I like the button that opens the lid to reveal the straw. The straw is silicone so shouldn't be damaged by teeth marks. And there's a lock feature to prevent it from popping open accidentally.Overall, I've had it for years and no spills so it's the go-to option for a water bottle in the bunk bed, etc.

My son is almost 5. We recently tossed some of his Camelbak Kids auto-spout cups that were a few years old and looking a little yucky. He does really well with straws, so I decided to try this brand. It’s similar to some of his other straw cups, but this one has a unique locking cap. Kind of reminds me of his Zak Designs Minecraft cup with a lid, except this one has an actual “lock” that looks like a switch next to the cap. You have to switch it to the right to be able to open the lid, but half the time it’s just sitting in the middle and it’s hard to tell if it’s locked or not. He gets easily frustrated (he’s autistic), so I think this cup would work better without the dumb lock.I love the size; it’s slightly bigger than his Camelback cups. The straw is a little different, too… It’s rectangular shaped and silicone. He’s used to biting the straw in order to drink from it, but I don’t think you have to do that with this one.It leaks a ton unless you put the lid down. Since it has the annoying lock switch, he avoids closing the lid half the time. If it gets knocked over (inevitable), we have a wet spot. Luckily you don’t have to keep the lid locked if you don’t want to, so I keep reminding him to just leave the switch alone.Might be better for slightly older kids (7+). So far we really like the cool design of the cup and the color, minus the cap issue. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It doesn’t look cheap and doesn’t seem to built cheap! I got it for my 4 year old for school and he loves it! It is however hard for him to pouch bottom in to pop open but maybe it needs to be worked out some. But worth the $

This water bottle looked great and seemed like it was going to be a winner for my son. However, in less than a month of use, the bottom cracked. It looks perfectly fine from the outside, but water was coming out somehow. When I completely removed the silicone sleeve, I could see a scuff mark and determined that this is the origin of the leak. This area was completely covered by the silicone sleeve, so it clearly couldn’t have come into direct contact with any abrasive surface.

Love this bottle got it for my son. It has a lock which I think is awesome. No spills when in his lunch kit. TRUST ME value for your money.

We've gone through 6 similar cups with pop up lids w/ straws and so far this has withstood the test of time. Most lids snap off after being dropped but this has feel down a flight of steps and was perfect fine
