YETI Rambler Jr. 12 oz Kids Bottle, with Straw Cap
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I like this way better than the Hydroflask water bottle.\n\n- hydroflask kid bottle comes with a silicone sleeve that guarantees your water bottle tips over if you accidentally knock it rather than it sliding a little. If you take the silicone sleeve off then the paint starts to chip off. The Yeti unpainted stainless steel on the bottom, so no paint to chip.\n\n- hydroflask handle is just big enough to skip one finger in and then inevitably catch on something and twist your finger off. Not really, but it’s awkward. The Yeti handle is big. Easy for little kids to hold. Easy to clip on to something. And if it falls right can keep the nozzle from touching the ground if you drop it.\n\n- on the hydroflask the bottom part of the nozzle is difficult to access to clean. On the Yeti the side of the bottom of the nozzle is exposed so I’m not worried about anything growing there that I can’t see.\n\n- the hydroflask lid has to be lined up just right or it won’t thread on right. My 5 year old certainly can’t do it. On the Yeti the threads are on the inside of the bottle so everything always gets lined up properly and is easy to put on.\n\n- the plastic on the yeti lid seems more durable. We have damaged the hydroflask lids but the yeti still looks like brand new.\n\n- the nubbin on the nozzle that plugs the air hole when closed is higher on the hydroflask than in the yeti. My friend’s kid chipped her tooth on that nubbin. So the lower the better.\n\n12 oz is a good size too. I think I’m going to get one for myself.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We have, and love, the kids Hydroflask... what I don’t like is it’s too wide (with the silicon bumper) to fit in our stroller & car seat cup holders - not a deal breaker, but an inconvenience. I wanted to see how the Yeti compared. Size-wise, it’s taller but about the same width and has the same 12 oz capacity. The handle is easier for small hands to carry. Everything else about it (“leak”-proof, straw, flip top, insulation) seems about the same for the most part. I trust Yet’s durability and the extra straw is a major bonus, this cup will last a long time.\n\nIf you already have a Hydroflask, I don’t think this cup is necessarily worth the upgrade. But if you deciding between the two, I’d recommend the Yeti!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My twins have been using their kids ramblers since 2019 when they were 3 years old and it has held up and is an absolute great water bottle all around for almost 2 years, except for one but major concern: over time it is very difficult to thoroughly clean the silicone underneath the straw mouth piece that opens and closes (see pix). To see the silicone piece, open the straw halfway or at a 45 degree angle.\n\nWe have only used it for water and I have tried so many ways to clean it (e.g. toothpick, small brush, submerged in boiling water) but unfortunately I can’t reach all the way in. I’ve also tried removing the spout (which would completely solve this issue) but it does not come off. I really wish this piece came off because everything else about this water bottle is great. I’d greatly appreciate it if someone knows a way to thoroughly clean the silicone or get underneath this area it or even know how to remove the straw mouth piece and I’d happily update my review. I checked on Yeti’s how to clean support page and it’s not removable. I’ve also tried to research online on ways to clean it but found none ☹️.\n\nI had reached out to Yeti previously with this concern but never received a response.\n\nI have another child who uses a hydro flask and noticed that the straw spout is removable and therefor easier to clean, however it doesn’t have the nice wide ergonomic handle as the Yeti.\n\nAt this time, I’m looking for a new replacement because I just can’t keep that area clean anymore. Again these are great bottles, just keep an eye on that silicone area for mildew over time.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I ordered 2 of these and love the one that was not defective. However, the spouts on the pink one had a dent in it and the tip fell off. We got to use it for 1 week. I am unable to contact the seller for some reason and since I had registered the prof it with yeti, figured it would be no big deal. However, I was told by the yeti that because it says seller: AMAZON LLC, it is a possible fraud and they will not stand by the warranty. I am so disappointed in yeti and honestly just mad. When asked what registering the product does...I was told that it doesn’t help with the warranty, it’s just a way that yeti can thank you foe the purchase. Super disappointed. If someone from Amazon would contact me in regards to this, It would be greatly appreciated!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My daughter is almost 2.5 years old and LOVES this!!! I love that I can put ice in it ONCE daily and it stays cold all day. My daughter is a DIVA and always wants “ice cold water” (in her own words). We are a Yeti kinda family so always trust in the brand. I can put ice water in her cup at night and there will still be ice in the morning. Much better than getting up in the middle of the night 2-3 times for ice water. Highly recommend.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "Another product made in China - I don't know if it works or not - but\nI certainly wouldn't 29.95 for a thermos made there.

Bought for my 15 month old because her plastic ones kept getting scratched from being dropped. She can’t open it on her own, and it leaks if the spout is open and laid down. If closed it doesn’t leak at all.

However, after he had thrown and broken about the 6th cheap plastic one I was just done. Plus he likes his ice water, just like his mama. It was so hard for me to pull the trigger and buy one of these, I finally just saved up a giftcard and got it for him. It is AMAZING! He has thrown it so many times, and we have had no issues, no dents and no failures of the straw. That was always an issue with the cheap plastic ones is when he would throw the bottle the straw would knock loose and I would have to constantly be fixing it for him. The only time this bottle leaks is if it is on it's side. I do wish for the price it was a little bit bigger, more like a 16oz vs the 12oz. I just LOVE that it is dishwasher safe, and my 2 y/o has no difficulty working the lid to access the straw. We just purchased our second cup to have one to use while cleaning the other :)"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Bought these for my 3 and one year old to encourage them to drink more water and to have their own water bottles for hiking. So far they love them and are constantly asking for more water. I ordered stickers to customize their bottles and keep them from arguing over them. This is even easy for my one year old to use! I’m also trying to get my 3 year old to stop using soppy cups and this seems to be helping. I have it a 4 for spill proof as ours haven’t leaked at all and are actually way more effective and being spill proof than majority of the soppy cups I’ve bought. However we’ve only had them a few days so time will tell, but YETI is know. To last so I’m sure this will also eventually be a 5 for me. Worth the extra $ imo.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I love this water bottle for my son! The plastic ones make his water taste weird and the glass ones with the silicone holders make me nervous because they can still break. This is perfect! I also ordered another stainless steel straw cup from another company and the screw cap as well as the threads in the bottle are both stainless steel and it scratches a lot when put together. This one screws on so smoothly! It also came with 2 straws, which I appreciate since they are so easy to lose.'}]
