Parents and caregivers know all too well that keeping a kiddo hydrated is a constant. struggle. And if begging them to take one more [freakin!] sip has become the bane of your existence, the newest water bottle craze may have just saved your sanity. Owala has released a kids’ version of the beloved FreeSip water bottle and it became an instant favorite among Target shoppers (and their minis).
ICYMI: The Owala FreeSip water bottle is being dubbed “the new Stanley,” and that’s a Big. Deal. in the hydration world. Owala is clearly rivaling the Big. Dogs. if it’s being compared to the cult favorite Stanley cup. It was also made it on the Time Best Inventions list for 2023.
Not. Too. Shabby.

The leakproof stainless steel design offers two drinking methods — a built-in straw and a standard opening — and the lid is dishwasher-safe, which is always a win in our books. Plus, the push-to-open lid keeps the spout clean. Let’s be real, your kid is exposed to enough germs as it is.
And if you’re an Owala fan yourself, we always recommend getting a mini version for your kiddo. Because if they have a water bottle that looks just like Mom’s or Dad’s, maybe they’ll stop drinking from yours. (Why must they always do that?!)
The cult favorite has 9 thousand 5-star reviews on Target.com from shoppers who call it a “must-have.”
“Just get it,” one shopper insisted. “The best water bottle on the market! I like that I don’t have to worry about mold because every part of the bottle is easily cleaned.”
“Best. Bottle. Ever.” another said. “We’ve tried every big brand of water bottles and there is a clear winner here … Keeps ice and drinks cold for hours. Has both options to chug and sip. Has a nice handle that locks so it doesn’t leak! It has a nice button you press to open so that we are never touching the mouthpiece just to drink. Check, check, and check! ALL THE CHECKS.”
