Hydro Flask: The Water Bottle that Goes Where Your Kids Go

The Limited Edition Kids Collection is Fun, Convenient, and Easy to Clean

By Kristen Wright-Matthews, Publisher, College Park East Point Morrow August 13, 2018


I am embarrassed to say how many sippy cups and water bottles I have purchased for my children in the past two years. I won’t get too deep into that, but what I will say is that I have wasted a lot of money on bottles that do not keep drinks cold (and are therefore unsafe), have melted in the dishwasher, or my children simply did not like them. When I had the opportunity to test the Hydro Flask Limited Edition Kids Collection, I was all for it because the inner me knew that the kids needed one. I am so glad I opted in because I am pretty sure that I have found a new water bottle brand for the whole family. While the test bottle is only a 12 oz and suggested for kids 3 to 10, my entire household has given it a try - my husband and me included. . . and we all love it!






Ever since the Hydro Flask arrived in the mail, I haven’t had to beg my little guy to drink water. He is learning his colors so the vibrant colors on the Hydro Flask are intriguing. He also likes the loop that makes it easy for him to tote with his monster trucks. He carries it around the house (even to the potty!), and every time we leave home, he asks for his cup. I love this water bottle because I know that he is getting enough water to keep his little body hydrated all day long. The size also makes it very convenient for me because it fits comfortably inside his favorite dinosaur backpack, which means I do not have to carry it. Another thing I love about it is how tight it seals, and I have not had to worry about spills inside of his bag.  






Additionally, as a sports mom, I especially realize how important it is for little athletes to stay hydrated. One day, I let my 10-year-old sneak it out to football practice. He was surprised to find his drink was still ice cold after practice and asked for his own Hydro Flask. He  excitedly said, “Mom, I need this cup for this football and rugby season.” If it makes him ask for water, I’m for it! ORDERED!





Finally, on a family trip to the zoo this weekend, we all had water bottles and the only water that was cold by the time we reached the park was the water in the Hydro Flask. My husband and I were really impressed because the ice had not melted after several hours. Needless to say, for the rest of the day, the only bottle that was refilled was the Hydro Flask. Two more bottles . . . ORDERED! 

So, if you’re in the market for a good water bottle, the Hydro Flask is the answer. The Kids Collection is only available for a limited time, so I strongly recommend that you check it out at www.HydroFlask.com





Not only is it as cute as can be with  four colorful, playful styles, but it has all of the qualities that are important to moms like me:  

- Easy to clean

- Durable

- Keeps kids’ favorite drinks ice cold for up to 24 hours

- BPA- and Phthalate-Free

- Includes an extra straw 

The $29.95 price is worth it because, unlike most of the bottles I have bought in the past, it has a lifetime warranty, and you can’t beat that.
