Nalgene Grip-N-Gulp: The Honda Civic of Kids' Water Bottles

The Nalgene Grip-N-Gulp is the most unglamorous water bottle you’ll ever buy, and I kind of love it for that. It doesn’t try to be a stainless steel status symbol or a silicone folding marvel — it’s a simple, leak-proof, dishwasher-safe container that a kid can actually grip and drink from. It goes in the backpack, it doesn’t leak, it comes out clean, and you forget about it. That’s the highest compliment I can give a kids’ water bottle.
