With my kids having to bring water bottles to school every day, we now have a large collection. My son continues to choose this Contigo bottle. He likes that isn’t not a wild color or pattern and he really likes the locking lid as an extra leak protection tool. The bottle has never leaked and keeps water cold. I really like that it’s a straw spout so he doesn’t accidentally spill water all over his desk or computer. The only issue I have is that’s the bottle is really tall. Would rather have something shorter and wider. The height causes it to fall out of his backpack side pockets and it also can tip out of the car cup holder. Just a minor thing I would change. Overall really pleased!
