Kids cups for lunch box

Any recommendations for one that does not leak? Our Thermos Funtainer straws are getting moldy and I want a replacement. DS got a stainless sports bottle from Old Navy for his birthday and it leaks too easy for a kid, he thinks he pushed it all the way down and obviously did not. I always hear about Kleen Kanteen but they do not get great reviews on Amazon.

    We use a Thermos pop top for water, and I send a Fruitable juice box or the equivalent type of Capri Sun for lunch.

    We've got a camelback kids one for ds2 who's 6. It's ok. The one we really like is a no name from walmart. I got it in the baby section. It's a flip top, no straw and holds about 12 oz. It does not leak.

    We use the Thermos funtainer. To prevent mold in the straws I take the insert out and the straw off and use the small brush that came with my Dr.Browns baby bottles (you can search Dr. Brown's Replacement Cleaning Brushes). I scrub them out with soap and water, then I let them air dry separately. You can also rinse with vinegar then let air dry to help prevent any bacteria growth.

    Kleen Kanteen is awesome in general BUT the spout tops leak.  If your kiddo can unscrew the regular tops to drink, then perfect.  If no, then I suggest just keep researching reviews on Amazon.  Def go with steel/non BPA.  There were a few on there but I wasn't comfy spending $20+ on a bottle for my daughter to take to school.  Good luck!

    I swear by Nalgene products. I don't have any of the smaller bottles but I wouldn't hesitate to use them.
