No matter where you go or what family adventure you are on, it’s super important to stay hydrated. One of the ways our family does that is to ALWAYS carry refillable water bottles. Everyone in the family has their own.
Recently I needed to buy a few new water bottles. My kids wanted a larger capacity bottle for school and traveling. So I started to look to see what was available. I looked for the following water bottle features:
- 18-25 ounces
- Leakproof
- BPA free
- Durable Finish
There were SO many options!!! I asked a few companies to send a test sample and they did. These are my top 7 water bottles in no particular order. Some are insulated water bottles, others have built in filtration, while others collapse when not in use. There are affiliate links below if you want to purchase from this list.
