Thermos Icon Kids Water Bottle 18oz vs Owala FreeSip Kids Bottle

Both are insulated stainless kids bottles with leak-proof lids, so the choice comes down to capacity and drinking style. The Thermos Icon holds 18oz, keeps drinks cold up to 16 hours, has a wide mouth for ice and cleaning, and a Griptec base that stays put on a desk. The Owala FreeSip holds 16oz and its patented spout lets a kid sip through the straw or tip it back to swig, which owners of the adult version praise. Pick the Thermos for more volume and easier filling; pick the Owala for the two-way spout.

• Choose the Thermos Icon if you want the larger 18oz bottle, a wide mouth for ice and scrubbing, and a non-slip base for a kid who sets the bottle down hard.
• Choose the Owala FreeSip if your kid switches between straw sipping and tipping the bottle back, and you want the smaller 16oz size for small hands and cup holders.
