Best water bottle for little kids
"Leakproof water bottles for little kids are key, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a more secure container than these from Yeti," Bergamotto said. "On top of being one of the best leakproof lids on the market, The Rambler Jr. also boasts double wall insulation, so it keeps drinks cold from school to sports!"

Best water bottle for big kids
This water bottle was made to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 -- the double-walled insulation is unparalleled. Bergamotto said parents love that it's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, while kids are psyched about the variety of cool colors and how the rim feels like a glass when they sip. It's a win for all!

Best teen water bottle
"Teenagers love a viral moment, and nothing has been more viral in the water bottle space than a Stanley Cup. But, if your teen walks or bikes to school, or even tries to navigate the busy hallways after the bell rings, they need a water bottle that will reduce spills and prevent leaks," Bergamotto said.
