        Comments about REI Kids' Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 18 fl. oz.:

        I bought these bottles for my three children looking to replace Sigg bottles. I was debating between Kleen Kanteen and REI bottle and chose the REI bottle because of the wider opening and the drinking spout. From the first use they leaked. If I re-screwed the lid on and fiddled with the plastic ring seal then they seemed to eventually stop leaking...My husband wanted to return them right away, but I was hopeful we would figure it out. The last thing you want to worry about with three preschoolers is leaky drink bottles....We have had them for 2 months and it has only gotten worse. One of my 3.5 year olds has actually chewed a bit on the drinking spout and managed to break a piece off...

        Needless to say I will be returning these bottles...

        Now I am on the search for a replacement...

          Comments about REI Kids' Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 18 fl. oz.:

          I purchased two of these bottles for my children replacing old Sigg bottles. We have had no problems. They have been to parks, zoos and even Disney World with no complaints. One was even knocked off a retaining wall at Disney World onto cement and only suffered a scratch. I am sure if one falls just right the plastic will crack and if you child is a chewer they can ruin the valve. But overall they are good bottles. Light in an already over packed bag and the perfect size for kids.

              Purchased two bottles for each son (3 & 5 years old). They never had any issues with the bottles. They love the designs and colors. The problem came when I washed the bottles. Didn't realize it at the time, but the vents have a little rubber piece that sits in place. We found out when the bottle started dripping. The piece had broken off while washing & we couldn't push it back into place. A couple of weeks later the same thing happened to the other bottle, even though I was more careful in cleaning it.

              We really love the design of the bottles. I just wish REI would fix the valve piece or at least offer replacements.

                I bought this bottle for my daughter to take to school. We got it on Sat and the bottom plastic piece was broken off by Sat night. I have no idea how,but I am assuming it was dropped. Three days at school and the top rubber sipper is ripped. Very disappointed!

                    Comments about REI Kids' Stainless-Steel Water Bottle - 18 fl. oz.:

                    This was used by an almost 5-year old for hiking and school lunches. He loved the design (Inuit-styled orcas?), and he would enthusiastically carry it in his very small backpack, and it fit sufficiently in his flexible-sided lunchbox.

                    There are two problems, one of which ultimately caused leakage. First, it has a push/pull "sport" cap which was opened and closed by my son (not inappropriately, I might add) with his teeth. However, he would also unconsciously chew on this cap which caused it to almost immediately crack. This is something a wise adult would probably not do. Unfortunately this product was not intended for a wise adult. Incessantly chewed, the lip on the sport cap would have eventually separated, causing the cap to become too difficult to open. It did not however, have that opportunity.

                    The cataclysmic failure was in the vent used to prevent a vacuum seal when drinking. In this lid, there is a hole/vent which is sealed with a small plastic plug which acts has a one way valve; it lets air in, but does not let water out. The "plug" is not one piece with the lid, and is therefore removable. Which is what the curious child did -- removed it. Not understanding vacuums or one way valves, he subsequently lost the tiny piece (if he didn't swallow it, that is). Not only does he possess only a minor grasp of physics, care of his gear is not yet a priority. I blame myself.

                    Now the vent in the lid lets air in, of course, and a constant flow of water out when the bottle is held at anything less than vertical. It's not so much a bottle now, as it is a cup. This was discovered in his lunch box which, along with its now soggy contents, had become saturated.

                    This bottle may have been intended for kids, but the lower age limit must be significantly greater than 5. That, or the lid designers may have never actually seen children in the wild. It looks cool, kids can carry their own water with this and drink from it unassisted. However, the design makes misuse by younger children all too easy.
