I like this bottle fairly well. However it is not our first go-to bottle when we are on the go. Of the cheaper, healthy bottles, it is probably our 2nd favorite. Crocodile Creek is our #1, though it is often quite a bit more expensive.
PRO:
– Size – 12 ounces is a nice, in-between size.
– No spill, IF you have it secured
– Body has large top, which makes cleaning soooo much easier. No need for a bottle brush. Of course, that makes it more clunky, which I also find a negative (see below)
CON:
– Fat – It's fatter than a lot of other bottles. As a result, it isn't as easy to tuck into a purse or picnic pack. I would prefer that it was taller and thinner.
– Clunky – The top makes up about 1/3 of the height of the bottle. Not terribly efficient use of space. The flip closure could easily have been designed in a way to take up considerably less room. For the size of the bottle vs the quantity it holds, it's not a great ratio.
– Closure – The only way to truly close it and also keep it from leaking is a two-fold process. Close the lid, then flip the metal ring up and over the nub on the top. Not so easy for a little one and seems unnecessarily complicated.
Note:
– The drinking hole is larger than most. It's a hole/spout that is about the diameter of a nickle. Nice, because you can get it nice and clean. It also makes it easier to get a nice flow of liquid when you are drinking. It may be a downfall for some using it with smaller children, as it will make it easier to spill, etc.
