Skip Hop Zoo Straw Bottle Dino

Update: For some reason, the bottle cracked. We were very careful with it, and it still looked new, but one day I just filled it up with sparkling water, and when we shook the bottle involuntarily, the fizz made the water squirt out at the bottom. Oddly, the crack was so tiny that when I filled it up with still water, we didn't notice any leaking. I have no idea how long it had been cracked, but however long it was, I expected it to last much longer, given the price.Initial impression: Lovely little bottle with a child-friendly shape. Doesn't leak, and it's made of very rigid plastic with a great grip to it.I don't intend to ever use the dishwasher on it, and I advise the readers not to, either. I'll pop the cap and straw in, sure, but not the painted bottle. You're not supposed to do that with anything that's got a colourful print or sticker on it, by the way, whatever it may say on the instructions. Judging by some of the reviews, a lot of people didn't get that memo.On a different note, my daughter calls it her 'rhino bottle', and she has a point.Goes well with the matching lunch bag,  Skip Hop Zoo Lunchie - UnicornSkip Hop Zoo Lunchie - Unicorn

I bought this bottle for my little ones a while ago in Singapore. They're absolutely good and durable, No licking even when the bottle is positioned upside down. Little ones love to bite the head of the straw which may tear the plastic material of the straw head, however it comes with extra straw which is also quite durable. With this good experience I bought 2 others as little ones are going to school. Pictures may come off after few months but it doesn't matter as for me what's important is the quality of the bottle itself. Very happy with the purchase, came on time and items are as what described on the pictures. Really recommended.

We tried 4 different bottles before this one and our little girl (12 months old) wasn't happy with either of them. Finally I found this one and from day1 she loves it. I guess all toddlers have different preferences and there was nothing obviously wrong with the other 4 but this one definitely suits her. I think she likes the free flow straw that she doesn't have to bite on to release the water. The bottle is well made, has no plasticky smell, the anti spill lock works well. My daughter even dropped it on the floor couple of times and it hasn't cracked so it seems to be sturdy enough. It also comes with a spare straw.

Well made drinking bottle. Our three year old loves it and has been using it every day for a month and apart from a few small scratches on the dinosaur design, it still looks good, the straw is still as new. I like the design of this as the straw is completely enclosed when the lid is closed to keep it clean, but it can still be removed to properly wash it. The straw is just a flexible clear straw that folds over to seal when the lid is closed. This makes it easy to dismantle and clean, with no chance of mould etc growing in hidden valve parts like other designs. Definitely recommended.

I love these cups, I buy them for my 4 year old who has ASD and is yet to figure out how to use a normal sippy cup, he can only manage straws.He can flip the lid of these himself and the straw goes almost to the bottom of the cup (cheaper brands don’t tend to do this.)The patterns are cute.The only real downside is that without a dishwasher they can be a bit fiddly to clean, and they aren’t leak proof, but my son struggles with leak proof straws as you have to suck a lot harder.
