We’re always fans of a product that does two jobs at once, like this clever little beaker which also functions as a nightlight! Invented by a dad and industrial engineer, the Litecup has a smart, well-thought-through design in a range of colours. It’s a 360-degree free-flow spout to let children sip from any side of the cup; it has easy-to-grab handles; and it boasts a light-up base. Just bear in mind that if you're using the lid for nighttimes, it won’t be completely free-flow.

Trying to reduce your plastics? You’ll love Klean Kanteen’s stainless steel water bottles for kids as it’s a bottle for life, which reduces wastage. The Classic Sippy comes with a spill-proof sippy cap and dust cover for little ones, but it’s also compatible with Klean Kanteen's bamboo, sports and loop mouth pieces so it can grow with your child. The bottle itself is virtually bomb-proof - it doesn’t scratch or dent, so it'll survive as time goes by. Just don’t lose it (eek!).Some of the best water bottles on this list also make for a great thermos, and the Hydro Flask might just be my new favorite road trip companion. Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, this water bottle is dishwasher safe, so you don’t need to worry about squeezing your hand through the narrow mouth to clean it. The slim, leakproof design of the 24-ounce model is also the perfect size for cup holders in just about any vehicle. Air dry your bottle and remember to clean around the lid, washing and drying the bottle separately to the lid. More From Tom's Guide

Need a little extra motivation to stay hydrated throughout the day? BuildLife builds an extra boost into each and every one of their bulky bottles, complete with timed reminders of when to splash some H20 in your face. It comes with a carrying handle on the side and a nylon strap on top, which also makes it a great addition to any camping trip. There are 19 different color choices, so you’re sure to find one that matches your personal style. My 60-ounce review unit was Teakwood colored, and I fell in love with the design right away; it looks more like a piece of art than a water bottle/pitcher. By itself, the Roamer is already bottom-heavy, so it’s hard to tip over, and the mouth is just big enough to put ice cubes in. It’s easy enough to use this as a giant water bottle if you have the forearms for it, but as advertised, the Roamer works best as a mobile pitcher. Boisterous or busy toddler on your hands? Kids aged 3+ won’t argue over the Camelbak Eddy (we can hope…) thanks to the fun, adventurous designs. They’re made for flip, bite and sip use with a straw, a button-press lid and a valve that delivers a steady flow. Important for active toddlers, they’re supposedly leak proof when closed and spill-proof when open, and our Mumsnetter’s review supports that. If you want to be able to add things such as ice or powder mixes to a water bottle, then it’s helpful to have a water bottle with a larger mouth. However, it’s harder to drink from wider-mouthed bottles if you’re on the move. Look for a water bottle whose cap unscrews to let you pour liquids in easily, but with a smaller opening to let you drink from it without spilling. Construction & Insulation I used one of these for my daughter, it took her a few attempts to get used to it and I didn’t push/rush it & just used bottles till she got the hang of it’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, MarigoldMoonStone Our VerdictI couldn’t be bothered with getting the baby used to a bottle and to need to wean them off it for a year. We used a NUK soft spout cup, so somewhere between a bottle teat and a regular supply cup” - recommended by Mumsnet user, Callamia. Our Verdict Say what you will about those motivational phrases posted on the side (“Do I really need my water bottle to talk to me like a dog…?”), but I kinda like ‘em. It adds a little boost to my bachelor pad, and not for nothing, but sometimes I forget to hydrate.

It can feel quite overwhelming to introduce a new way of drinking to your baby, especially at a time when you're also contending with the mess weaning brings along. Here's some advice from baby experts the NCT: Spoutless/flat lid: Lastly, there are cups with a flat lid - no spout at all. Like the Munchkin on this list, they’re sometimes called 360 cups. Kids can drink from any angle so it resembles a normal cup, but it still has a lid (often, this seals shut after use) to prevent spills. Bottom line: whether you need it for coffee or Kool-Aid (or neither), the Hydro Flask is one of the best water bottles for your next road trip. Carrying one of the best water bottles can help you measure just how much you're sipping as you move through your day. Our fitness editor recently drank a gallon of water every day for a month, and there are plenty of benefits up for grabs, including aiding digestion ( feeling bloated after a workout? Here’s why) and carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells.

The Purist Mover bottle has three different lids to choose from: Element, Union, and Scope. My review unit had the Element lid, which has a pop-up handle. Unlike the other caps, the Element is insulated, which is best if you plan on using this thing for both hot and cold liquids.

According to research, approximately 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, which can cause fatigue, weakness and loss of stamina. This equates to about 3.7 liters for men and 2.7 liters for women, according to the U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine.So, we're not drinking enough, but how do we fix it? Just because you’re using cutting-edge tech doesn’t mean the end result can’t be satisfactorily simple. The Purist Mover, which is part of a larger collection of bottles that range from 10 to 32-ounce capacities, has an outer wall constructed from 304 stainless steel, and an inner wall made from surgical-grade, 316 stainless steel. What sets this water bottle apart, however, is the 60-nanometer-thin glass coating on the inside, which prevents any metallic tastes (or a hint of last week’s coffee) from polluting your hydration experience. Plus, this makes it easier to clean.

9. Best sippy cup for bedtime: Litecup Baby Sippy Cup

While many of the water bottles on this list are meant for mobility, the S’well Roamer can practically double as a kettlebell. (It weighs nearly 6 pounds totally when filled with water.) In fact, S’well markets the Roamer as “your new on-the-go pitcher,” which is great, because I wasn’t planning on lugging this thing to my next HIIT workout. It comes in two large sizes (40 oz and 64 oz), and a variety of stunning designs, such as Teakwood, Blue Cornflower, Sunkissed, and Night Sky. If you’re looking for something smaller, S’well offers a variety of more diminutive mugs and bottles. We got the MAM trainer cups and she absolutely loves them, they are quite spongy on her gums which seems good for her’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Sammilouwho Our Verdict Capacity: 250ml | Recommended age: 6 months+ | Material: Polypropylene, High Density Polyethylene and Thermo Plastic Elastomer What we love
