BioGreen Biodegradable BPA-Free Kids Bottle (14-Ounce)

I purchased 8 of these for my 4 kids (as young as 5). Since they''re always on the go, we use these types of bottles for their all-day containers.

I was interested in finding bio-degradable bottles that were also BPA-free. These fit the bill, and were priced better than any of the others I saw on Amazon at the time.

We''ve washed them in the dishwasher several times already. They''re holding up very well. The kids are able to get themselves refills, since it isn''t too difficult to open the lids, yet the lids are tight enough not to leak or accidentally burst open when dropped. I''d highly recommend them. We''ll be buying more of them.

**Update 07/2009**

I''d avoid these... They were great for a while, but the lip of the lids have all begun to crack/split, so they won''t stay on very well now. We''ve gone with others that are larger screw-top versions from Amazon, which are holding up great. I believe they''re from the same company.

Purchased 4 bottles for my 10 year old son who''s having some health problems. Trying to find healthy BPA-free containers for water. The top part of one of these bottles has already worn to the point where it leaks. Also, more importantly, the taste of the water in the bottle tastes like plastic. Would not buy again.

I wanted to get myself an eco-friendly everyday water bottle; I first purchased the Klean Kanteen, but the lid kept on leaking on me. So after much online comparison, I purchased this one (the leak-proof claim reeled me in) and I am ecstatic with it. It''s just the right size for a bottle to throw into a bag for whenever one feels thirsty; plus, it hasn''t leaked on me yet. And, I might add, this bottle is not just for kids (I got the one with the drawings on the side and find it adorable).

Exactly what my daughter needed as she learned how to hold her own cups to drink water. lightweight, the frosted clear makes it easy to view contents and the amount left. We ended up ordering several more of these to have around.

At about $5, it''s not a big deal that the top cracked after just 2 months of use, but it seems a wate when we are trying not to keep buying water bottles....better than disposables, but didn''t last long enough.

Cute design. Nice size. Was great until it broke.

ChicoBag Snack Time rePETe (5 Pack) Save 14% off

My family is trying to reduce our plastic consumption, which also means replacing our ziploc bags with something that can be reused over and over again. So far these have been wonderful for our lunches, and a total breeze to clean (we alternate between washing in the washing machine and by hand). I would thoroughly recommend these, but anyone looking at them should be aware of a couple of things:

First, these are obviously not air tight, so anything that you put in them (cereal, crackers, granola, etc.) will become stale after a day or so. We even found that making our lunches up the night before sometimes led to stale snacks regardless of whether things were stored in the fridge or on the counter. Waiting until the morning to put things into the bags and relying more on freezer packs than the fridge seemed to correct this.

Second, fruit and veggies do tend to ferment a lot quicker in these, as they seem to become quite humid. Anything over a day unrefrigerated got quite nasty and resulted in an unpleasant surprise when cleaning out forgotten lunch bags. Again, this is relatively easy to correct (clean out/rinse them promptly and don''t store anything in them for long period of time), but something that you should be aware of to avoid a surprise.

Finally, the velcro is rather loud, so these are not the best "stealth" bags, since everyone will hear you opening them up.

Over all these have been exactly what we were looking for the colors are both adult and children appropriate, the materials used seem to be very high quality, and stitching looks very sturdy, even after several washes. They are a great way of making your family become more eco-friendly!

We wanted to stop buying, using and throwing all the plastic bags we need to pack lunches and snacks, and these bags are great for that. Every day we turn them inside out to wash and so far, they have held up. The initial purchase is pricey when trying to determine if its worth it since plastic bags are so cheap, but we like being "green". I like that there are two velcro fasteners so that if the item is larger than sandwich size, it will still fit in this bag.

I wish they had a clear bag so we would know what we packed in each one.

I love using these for chips, pretzels, etc. They hold a lot and the two different sizes they convert two are so handy. If it smells like the chip or cookie you put in there, just turn it inside out and air out overnight :) I love not using plastic bags anymore.

I bought these for my husband''s lunches at work because it was cheaper in the long run (and greener!) than buying plastic baggies once or twice a month. He''s been using them for about 3 months now, 5 times a week, and they''re holding up just fine! I''ve handwashed them a few times and they clean/dry just fine... no issues with the material falling apart or molding like other reviewers have said. I generally only put dry items in them though (i.e., no really oily/messy foods... just sandwiches, crackers, pretzels, etc.). He says they keep his food as fresh as the plastic baggies, too. I''d buy them again!

I am in love with these reusable bags! I''ve used and appreciated the full size ChicoBags for shopping, so I figured they''d put out a great product in these reusable snack bags. They are sturdy and durable, with a nice, large capacity (love that they fold into two different sizes). The colors are great as well, with subtle patterning unique to each fabric.

I don''t put anything in them until I''m ready to pack up my lunch, as I''m not sure how airtight they are. But so far they''ve kept everything perfectly until lunch or snack time. So happy to have transitioned from plastic baggies to the reusable ones. And these rePETes were the best way to make the transition.

Reliance Products Desert Patrol 6 Gallon Traditional Jeep Style Rigid Water Container

Long story short... I bought two of these in June 1996 and am still using one today (I carelessly destroyed the other one during a move.) I just bought three more and am delighted that I was able to find the same model after all these years. I bought them for $15/ea, which is a reasonable price for the quality and functionality.

Now the long story... I started out on a three-month camping trip across the Western US & Canada in June ''96. On the second day I stopped at a hardware store in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan looking for sturdy water containers. I wanted something I could use in the deserts and mountains for anything from drinking and bathing to filling my car radiator if necessary. I happened to find this exact green, six-gallon, Jerry-can-style Reliance model and bought a couple of them. I used them every day for three months (and over 10,000 miles of back roads) and was thrilled with them. They were packed in my hatchback with my camping gear and mountain bike. Despite all that jostling, compression, daily use, and extreme heat in the deserts these never leaked nor did the plastic body or spout deteriorate over the years.

As for the ability of the can to preserve the flavor of water without giving it a plastic taste... it''s excellent. I filled both cans with water from a North Dakota well the day after I bought them in June ''96 (best water I have ever tasted.) By the end of three months I still had some North Dakota water in one can. It tasted as good as when it came out of the well.

These are simplyand well-designed. The reversible spout nests inside the container when not in use and is sturdy plastic. This is important because otherwise the spout is prone to snap off or bend when the container is being stored in a car/truck but isn''t in use. The other thing I liked was that the plastic is thick-gauge but is a food-quality polymer so can store drinking water. The air-outlet valve that enables the water to pour smoothly is located on the opposite side of the container top from the spout and works fine. I''ve never had a problem with it.

Please note that the pouring spout won''t work well if you want to lay the can on its side and use it as a drink dispenser. It''s not a picnic thermos; the flow is much too rapid for that. Also, you should to store cans such as these in the upright position. Mine fell over in the car a couple times during that summer trip and never leaked; however, I wouldn''t count on that for long periods. Finally, if you have to carry this container a long distance from a water source you need to be strong. Six gallons of water weighs 50 lbs (23 kg) and this model doesn''t have wheels. Having said that, however, it has fit my needs for a long, long time.

After my trip in ''96 I used both containers for another eight years for emergency water storage wherever I lived. Then I accidentally destroyed one in 2004 when it got crushed in a moving van.

I got lax over the years about keeping extra water on hand for emergencies. We moved in ''08 to a place prone to the remnants of hurricanes. I finally got around to looking for water containers recently as part of assembling an emergency preparedness kit for the house. I was thrilled to find the identical Reliance container that I bought 14 years ago for sale on Amazon. Three new ones arrived late last week. I cleaned them out today and filled them for storage. Same old excellent design. I recommend it highly.

I bought one to try. I used it for a long weekend of camping and there was no funny taste to the water from being in the container. The cap/nozzle assembly fits well and I haven''t noticed any leakage around it. There''s also a little indent for your hand on the bottom to assist with tipping the container, which is a nice little detail.

Since it''s designed to be stood up, I didn''t try laying it on its side to check for leaking that way.

I''ll be getting a couple more of these for emergency purposes. It never hurts to have some potable water stored before a hurricane or other big weather hits.

When we camp in our trailer at a State Park, we usually deplete our on board water supply by the end of the 3rd day. Rather than hook up and haul the trailer to the dump/water supply station, I carry water to the trailer. Every other container I''ve in the past either a) didn''t hold enough water, b) was difficult to fill, c) difficult to carry, and/or d) difficult to pour into the water port on the trailer. This product solved all 4 problems for me. I love it.

We had borrowed a neighboring camper''s water containers to fill our camper''s fresh water tank. These worked perfectly for what we needed. There was no water hook-up at our camp site and these containers saved us from having to pull the camper to the water source. I immediately got on line and ordered our own. They are light weight and the handle and grip make them easy to use when they''re full.

Zefal 164 Water Bottle

I have used this brand of water bottles for many years. I have always liked these bottles because they are the largest water bottles available for a standard bike cage. Other than minor issues they have been great. The latest version of these bottles, that I just purchased, are not even nearly as good as the old bottles. There is no longer any rubber seal on the lids. The new bottles leak very badly and I am very dissatisfied with these.

It''s big and bulky, but it carries about 10% to 50% more than your average water bottle. In the hot and muggy summers of Ohio this bottle has helped stop dehydration many times over. The bottle is durable and has survived three months of daily use.

Realize, however, it''s too bulky to be placed along a road bike''s seat tube as it will rub against a cyclist''s legs. Instead, this bottle is best suited to be placed in a water bottle holder mounted on the down tube.

***** Update ******

One year later, this bottle is still going strong. I did notice, however, that some water does leak out of the top when squeezing the bottle sometimes. This downgraded my review to 4 stars, but overall I am still impressed with the durability and longevity of this water bottle.

I wanted this bottle in order to be able to carry a few extra ounces of fluid for long rides and now that i have used the bottle a few times I am quite satisfied with the results.

The bottle holds a little over a quart and easily fits in the cage on my road bike. A squeezable bottle that quickly returns to form, that is it doesn''t stay kinked like other bottles i have tries

The spout is soft and easy to bite open or closed

I would have preferred white or clear color over black since black heats up a little quicker. All in in all an quality item.

My 14 year daughter was so excited to receive this cool looking water bottle with a great feel. Perfect! Unfortunately, when she filled it with water and squeezed the bottle, water leaked from the screw on cap. She was very disappointed. Since this bottle needs to be kept in a crowded gym bag, the risk of it getting "squeezed" and water leaking out was too great ... so it is unuseable. So sad.

I owned several "original" Zefal 32oz water bottles for 8+ years and LOVED them. They were the only 32oz water bottle that would fit in a bike cage . I ordered a few new Zefal bottles in hopes of replacing the originals. The new design bottles leak because there is no longer a gasket that comes with the lid. Even with screwing the lid down TIGHTLY, the bottles still leak. I hope Zefal responds to their bad bottle design and returns to the original design that worked so brilliantly.

This is my every day carry water bottle. Its a little heavy cause it holds up to 32 oz. But I loe the size cause I use it with my maxpedition Jumbo Versipack. Its important to stay hydrated all the time.

I bought this bottle to go along with my Sitka Gearsliger, and the first occasion I had to use it was during a cruise my wife and I took to the western Caribbean. During that trip we stopped in Belize and visited a set of Mayan ruins. While climbing to the top of one of the sites, I stumbled several times and I hit this bottle pretty hard against the stone of the structure but it came out unscathed. I kind of wish it had a spout on the top but the screw-top makes for a more secure lid.

Arrow Plastic 822 H2O Junior Traveler 20 Oz. (Pack of 15)

I had been looking for water bottles similar in shape and size to the ones you purchase at any store. I wanted a 20 oz. bottle, BPA free, refillable, washable and easy to carry/handle. This bottle is primo perfect in every way. It is a good size (20 oz), BPA free, refillable, washable and the design is fantastic. I have looked high and low for this water bottle. I have bought several that did not fit the bill (neck too wide, bottle too big, weird spout, filters I did not need). The carry handle is a real bonus if you want to hook it to a bike or backpack. The handle makes it easy to pour water from the bottle as well. If you are looking for a BPA free water bottle similar in size and design to the ones you buy prefilled at stores, then this is the water bottle for you. I fill these bottles from my home filtered water system. You could also fill it with delivered water. You cannot go wrong with this bottle. It arrived quickly. After buying one through Amazon, I went to another vendor and purchased 3 more at a lower price. Bonus: Just think of all that nasty plastic that will not wind up in a landfill or the ocean if you switch to a refillable bottle. Leaking: Another customer said her 32 oz bottle leaked after 3 months, but I have not experienced any leaking. I assume it is all in how they are stored/carried around.

New Wave Enviro Striped Porcelain Water Dispenser (2.5-Gallon)

I needed a replacement crock for home water bottle dispenser. Ordered the New Wave Porcelain Dispenser. The crock arrived pronto, and was fine--looked nice, sat level, deep enough to hold plenty of water, etc. But the spigot that shipped with it was a piece of junk. It began dripping immediately. I wiggled and jiggled to no avail. Tried to get amazon to send me just a replacement spigot, but even a supervisor said "no"--I had to return the dispenser AND spigot to get a replacement. To his credit, he did immediately ship the replacement with 2-day shipping. However, when I unpackaged the second one, installed the spigot, and filled it with water--the exact same thing happened! The spigot would not stop dripping. 0 for 2. Fortunately I still had an old spigot left over (from my old dispenser that cracked). The old spigot and new dispenser is now working fine. So, while the price is right for the dispenser itself, don''t have too high expectations for the spigot. (You will probably need to buy a better quality spigot, for $5-10.)

its a good thing i filled it with water in the sink to clean it out before I used it because the spigot leaked! and not a slow leak! would have made an awful mess if it was not over the sink! the crock itself is fine, but the spigot is junk and therefore the whole unit is useless until I can get a new spigot!

I thought that maybe I would be lucky and get one without a leaky spout (after reading the other reviews). The first one I got was packaged so badly it was completly busted, sent it back and got the replacement (still same bad packaging just a cardboard box with the dispenser no packing material at all to keep it from breaking) but it was intact. Filled it with water and the spout leaked badly nothing we did helped. Looked for other spouts but could only find them in 1000 piece lots! We are returning again and ended up ordering a wooden barrel for my kombucha instead (from happyherbalist website they were running a special for a wooden barrel $100 with shipping was only a bit more than this really...)

I wish we would have listened to the previous reviews we have another porcelain water dispenser (the one with the ivy) and it has worked great for about a year I dont know what they have done differently but the price went up and the quality went down.

This is a really nice crock. It''s ceramic and the package says it''s lead free. It looks nice and was easy to assemble and clean. I purchased 3 gallon jugs to go with it and they are perfect and easy to handle. The only drawback is that it drips. I get about 1/8th of a cup every 8 hours on the floor and had to put a little dish on the floor to catch it. It needs a little drip tray.

Outdoor Products 1 Litre Frosted Tritan BPA-Free Water Bottle

Always loved Nalgene but when I found out that Nalgene tests on animals, I looked for an alternative. This is it! One liter size, does not leak, transparent to see liquid, nice frosted blue color which I find preferable to drink water out of, includes a removable sipper/ flow controller-it sits inside the mouth opening and covers most of it, but not all of it (like a disposable coffee cup lid). This prevents spilling the drink all over yourself which I think is easy to do with a wide-mouth cup. I actually like this better than Nalgene now for the frosted blue finish, the curved design, and the mouth opening, and knowing that I''m not supporting a company that tests on animals.

Love how much water this holds, the color and the ease of opening it. The only thing I don''t like is the removable part under the cap that I almost left at a restaurant after filling it up. However, need to remove it to fill with water and ice so just needed to get used to having another item to put back.
