Children's drinking bottles
In this category you will find children's drinking bottles in various designs. These include models with a straw, leak-proof bottles and insulated bottles for on the go.
Children's Drinking Bottles
Whether for kindergarten, school, a trip outdoors, or everyday thirst at home – a suitable drinking bottle for children is a basic necessity. In this category with 6 items, you will find robust, leak-proof models that are specially designed for the needs of toddlers and schoolchildren. The selection ranges from lightweight silicone training cups to insulated stainless steel bottles that keep drinks cool for hours.
What should you look for when buying? Material: Stainless steel is shatterproof, flavor-neutral, and particularly durable – ideal for on the go. Silicone training cups are soft, easy to grip, and gentle on gums during the transition from baby to toddler. With plastic or silicone, make sure the products are BPA-free (most manufacturers label this). Closure: For younger children, spouted cups with a soft mouthpiece or training cups with two handles are recommended. Older children manage well with screw caps or straws. It is important that the bottle is leak-proof – otherwise the contents quickly become a slippery mess in the backpack.
Size and capacity: For on the go, 350 ml is often sufficient (like the stainless steel bottle from the Falk series). For a full day at school, 500–600 ml is practical. Care: All drinking bottles offered here are dishwasher-safe (stainless steel bottles should be hand-washed or cleaned by hand). Silicone cups can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher. Tip: Let the bottle dry thoroughly after washing to avoid odors.
The following products show two typical variants – a silicone sippy cup (ideal for toddlers from approx. 6 months) and a stainless steel drinking bottle for school children. Both are available in different colors and are easy to clean.
Soft silicone sippy cup with spout, ideal for the transition from breastfeeding to independent bottle drinking.
Insulated stainless steel bottle with 350 ml capacity, robust and leak-proof – ideal for school and outings.
Variant in muted blue – the same silicone training cup, especially suitable for small hands.
The two spouted cups are particularly suitable for toddlers who are just learning to drink independently. The soft silicone mouthpiece protects the gums, and the compact shape fits in any diaper bag. The stainless steel bottle, on the other hand, is the right choice for school children – it keeps drinks cold or hot for hours, is unbreakable, and can be easily attached to a backpack. If you are looking for a combination of both: many families opt for both variants – the spouted cup for home, the stainless steel bottle for on the go.

Drink bottles are part of the extensive 'at the table' range, where you will find everything for your children's meals and snacks. Drink bottles pair particularly well with children's tableware (plates, bowls, cutlery) and Children's Lunch Boxes – so you have a complete starter set for kindergarten or school days. If your child is still sitting in a high chair, it's worth taking a look at the category Tableware, where you can also find matching bibs and placemats.
The lunch box in combination with a drinking bottle is the classic for break time. Make sure the lunch box is leak-proof and easy to open – then even smaller children can access it independently. Children's tableware made of melamine or bamboo is shatterproof and lightweight, ideal for daily use. High chairs as a sibling category are relevant if you still need a booster seat for meals.
Frequently asked questions about children's drinking bottles
Which drinking bottle is best for which age?
For babies from about 6 months, silicone training cups with a soft spout and two handles are suitable – they sit securely in small hands. From 12 months, children can practice with a spout cup without handles. For toddlers from 2 years, lightweight stainless steel bottles with screw cap or straw are ideal. School children from 6 years manage well with stainless steel bottles with a capacity of 350–500 ml, which they can open and close independently.
Stainless steel or silicone – which is better?
Both materials have advantages. Stainless steel is practically unbreakable, flavor-neutral, and provides excellent insulation – perfect for on the go and trips. Silicone is soft, flexible, and particularly gentle on toddlers' gums. Silicone training cups are often lighter and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Stainless steel bottles should be hand washed to preserve the insulation. For everyday use at home, silicone is the gentle solution; for school and travel, stainless steel is the more robust choice.
How do I properly clean children's drinking bottles?
Most models are dishwasher-safe – check the manufacturer's instructions. Silicone parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher without any issues. Clean stainless steel bottles best by hand with a mild detergent and a bottle brush to protect the insulation and outer coating. After cleaning, let the bottle air dry open to prevent mold. Once a week, rinse all parts with boiling water (let stainless steel cool down). Straws and seals should be replaced regularly.
In short: The category includes 6 items – silicone training cups for toddlers and stainless steel bottles for school-age children. Key criteria are material (silicone or stainless steel), capacity (350 ml to 500 ml), and leak proofness. All products are BPA-free, dishwasher-safe (silicone) or to be hand washed (stainless steel). Complementary categories such as children's tableware and lunch boxes round out the eating and drinking experience.
