What is the best water bottle for kids on Amazon? My favourite is already the ION8 range of plastic and metal bottles and travel cups - I've bought 5 with my own money. Now ION8 has sent me some of their range with the new 2.0 lids: a Stainless Steel travel mug, Recycled plastic cycling bottle, metal flask and plastic water bottle for school... I love the colours and the design and give my first impressions reviews of the new range.

Hello, welcome back to the channel, and this is a really special day for the channel. Take a look at this! I have never, ever been sent anything from a company for the channel, and the good people at ion8 water bottles have sent me these. I... I am really into water bottles. They are such a crucial part of our day-to-day family life. That sounds a bit overblown, but it's true. I mean, they... they need a water bottle every day, I need a water bottle, and I actually made a video about the ion8 bottle from Amazon because I was a big fan. It didn't taste plasticky, you didn't have the usual ends, and the lid is fantastic. And I've been using this ion8 water bottle pretty much daily for about 3 years. And I don't know if you can see—if I go close—the lid is marvelous, but the clip on the back, over time, wear and tear, just being smashed around daily, um, has kind of, uh, given up. But the lid still works. The timing could not be more perfect. So thank you, ion8. You... I salute your... your reaching out. Let's see what's in the box. This is really exciting!
The first bottle in the box isn't a water bottle. It is an insulated steel, uh, reusable coffee cup. And the reason ion8 got in touch with me is because they have new clips at the top, new lids. Uh, so there's a brand new design. And on this blue bottle, you can see that the handle—the clip—is recessed into the lid, which is a really nice touch. The second new feature I've noticed is that the button that pops open the lid is lockable. So if you push the button up, it locks it in place, which is handy. And then on top of that, you've got the ion8 clip that also stops the lid from flying up. So you've got two fail-safe systems there—two layers of protection. And inside the lid, uh, you can see there's a really, uh, generous sipping hole. I don't... what do you call it—a hole that you drink from? And also an air hole, so that, uh, you can drink unimpeded.
Let's take the lid off. Just unscrew the lid. It comes, obviously, with a bit of, uh, silica gel. You can see it's insulated steel, so there's a steel inner inside the bottle to keep your coffee, or hot drink, or cold drink hot or cold. This travel mug also has fantastic grip around the outside. It's like a rubberized grip, and we have that rubberized edging along the lid at the top. So, really stylish, and obviously, it comes in a range of colors. It is 360 ml, which is 12 oz in the US of A and elsewhere. Should we see how it pours? So, in goes the third of a liter, and here's the shake test. This is with no triple-lock protection on. Here we go. If I open it and give it a pour... so that's the kind of flow—whoa—that's the kind of flow you get with the coffee, the insulated steel travel mug.
Let's see what's next in the box. What should we go for? Let's go for this—ooh—this is a green, really nice green Recyle bottle. It's called Recyle because it's a transparent, carbon-neutral plastic, partly made from plants. So, we have some grooves on the side for grip, and you have the water quantity measures on the side there. So, you can actually follow how much water you're drinking in a day. The lid is the new feature lid. It has got a name—I'll put it on screen now—for their new technology, their new LIF lid technology. But we've got the recessed carry handle, which is really nice. Also, the triple-lock, uh... lock, what would you call it? I don't know. I'm like... I'm like the iJustine for water bottles. I really like... I like this role!
So we've got the triple lock, which means you can slide the button up, and you can flip the loop up to stop the lid flying off when you least want it to. And it's a plain water bottle. It's a really nice design on the water spout, and, uh, an air hole to... to let that in. And in the lid, we've got these kind of rubberized grommets that basically keep the holes covered up and keep... keep it watertight. What I really love about these water bottles is... I just... oh, we just went through so many water bottles where the kids would chew the end—I would chew the end—of the nozzle, and over time, you just get those little micro bits of plastic in your mouth. That's... that's not good, is it? With these, because it has a... a different kind of plastic, it's not chewable, but it's... you know, it's a... it's a really great water spout. That is way more than I thought I'd be talking about water spouts today!
If we open it up, you can see the lid twists off. And let me show you inside the lid. All the lids are like this. There's like a... I don't know the word for this—is it a rubber gasket? Well, it's not rubber, but there's a gasket in place to keep the waterproofing in place when you do the lid up. So, that's really handy. Let's do the P test. So I don't know if I'll pour in wa... this is 24 oz, which is 750 ml, so 3/4s of—oh no—I left the, um, the moisture sachet in. Wow, this is a... a lot of water, which is good. I mean, this is pretty much what I should be drinking. Uh, so I flip the lid, and we'll do a PO test. And let's do a... a shake test. Completely leak-free. I've got some bits from where I've mispoured it. Let's put the lock on. Triple lock on there—that'll be good in a school bag. I really like the size of this. 750 ml is pretty much what I should be drinking in a day, and a really nice design, really comfortable to hold. I think I'm going to treasure this one. I'm going to have this one for myself, I think.
Let's look at the next... the next one in the box. This is a stainless steel... oh, this is a beast! This is a canteen. This is a 40 oz—that's 1.2 L—stainless steel, leak-proof water bottle. The thing with this is it actually feels quite light for something that's stainless steel. So, we have the triple lock lid and integrated carry handle that fits into the recessed section for it in the lid. And if I open this up, you can see it is pure stainless steel inside. And like the other ion8 bottles, it is dishwasher safe, which is handy. They're easy to clean, and they don't keep any smell, or odor, or flavor. That said, I've not encountered that with the other plastic bottles, but it's even more the case with a metal bottle. I... I can fit this in my rucksack. So, it's... it's a stretch, but I can fit it on the... the side pouch of my backpack.
Let's do the spill test, and this feels really heavy when it's filled up. This is like 1.2 kg. Better not drop it on my head. Nice spill—fantastic! And that's without even putting on the triple lock on the lid. And it pours like this. We... we could be here for some time because there is a lot of drink in here. Uh, I also love the... the... the shape of the spout. It means you can get it at just the right angle without the water pouring out of the air hole on the top. Um, I think... I think you've got the... the gist of this now.
The next bottle is—wow—this is quite a striking blue. It's a leak-proof, slim water bottle, vacuum-insulated, so it's got double walls. It's made of stainless steel. We have the... the... the ion8 cap that you've become familiar with now from the other bottles. So, it's got the triple lock, and it's also got the recessed carry handle. This bottle does feel a lot slimmer than the others, so this might be good for maybe on a bike—you know, to put it in your bike rack or the side pocket of your rucksack or backpack. And if we open up the lid, you can see that's, uh, super clean, really nice brushed metal there. ThermoShield—it's called Prograde ThermoShield stainless steel. It's extremely durable, lasts for years, and is carbon neutral and fully recyclable. This refillable and reusable drinks bottle is food safe, odor resistant, and easy to hand wash. It protects the temperature for hours and keeps drinks fresh and full of flavor. There—you wouldn't have guessed that I just read that from their website!
Let's do the... the shake test, and we'll do a little pour demonstration. I love the spouts on these—they're really satisfying. Hey, I don't know if, um, ion8 sent me some other things as well. They also sell accessories. So, we have a wrist strap, which I guess is designed to fit the ion8 bottles specifically. Let's have a look. Okay, so it's like a rub... a like a wristband with a nice fetching embossed ion8 logo there and, I guess, a loop to fix it to the bottle. Let's try and put one on. I don't know how quickly I can do this, but in the bottle lid, can you see there's a special carry handle hole there? So if I put this through, I think if you feed the... the strap through the cable like this, it then fixes the wrist strap to the bottle. There! That looks really fetching, doesn't it? Look at that!
Oh, there's also this straw, which is designed specifically for the 500, 600, and 750 ml bottles. Let me show you. It's got a special screw attachment at the top, and this is designed to fit the... the water spout exactly. Now, you just push it in at that, and then you can fit that on the bottle. The straw appears here, which means that when you're drinking, you kind of... you can suck on the water spout. So it's like a giant sippy cup, which I... I kind of like the thought of.
I am calling this a Dad Delivers success! I really like these water bottles already. I bought this one with my own money, and now it has a wrist strap, which is kind of cool.
