Threenager is a REAL thing. #

If you landed here from a Google search about toddler water bottles, you are probably dealing with a fiercely independent preschooler. This video shows my direct response to my daughter refusing to drink out of anything except my giant steel tumbler. I got tired of wiping up massive puddles, so I tracked down a toddler-sized alternative that mimics the look of the popular adult versions.

My honest verdict is that this little cup works incredibly well for an aesthetic-obsessed kid. It is completely spill-proof when shut tight. The insulation actually keeps ice solid until lunchtime. However, there is one specific detail you only discover when you stand at the sink to wash it. The hidden silicone valve inside the straw traps thick liquids completely. If you put a berry smoothie in this cup, you will be scrubbing that tiny opening with a wire brush for ten solid minutes. Stick to plain water.

This video basically tanked with my regular followers. It barely scraped together three hundred views. The engagement was practically non-existent. I think people just do not care about trendy cups for toddlers unless they are currently in the trenches of a hydration-related meltdown. Most parents just grab whatever neon plastic cup is on the shelf at the grocery store. But if your kid is currently crying because they cannot lift your massive metal cup by themselves, this is a solid purchase.
