- Is the CamelBak Kids Thrive 12 oz worth it?
- Yes for younger kids who need a light, easy-to-open bottle. At $24.99 at Target as of November 7, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range.
- Is it leakproof?
- It is leak-resistant when the straw is folded down and the lid is closed. It can drip if it is left open or tipped with the straw up.
- Can it go in the dishwasher?
- The bottle and lid are dishwasher safe. The straw and bite valve are best rinsed and brushed by hand to keep them clean.
- Can I put juice or milk in it?
- Water is best. Sugary drinks and milk are harder to clean out of the straw and valve, and the bottle is not for hot drinks or carbonated beverages.
- How does it compare to the CamelBak Eddy?
- The Thrive adds stainless steel insulation and a covered flip straw. The Eddy is lighter plastic and cheaper but does not keep water cold as long.
- When is it cheapest?
