Plastic water bottles have lost their popularity because when most people think plastic water bottle, they instantly think of single use. There’s a place for a good quality bpa free plastic water bottle in any school bag or gym bag.

Durable, reusable plastic bottles are often a better choice for people over glass or stainless steel for many reasons, including the weight of the bottle or the durability. Staying hydrated is important, and a bpa free water bottle, despite being made from plastic, is still a step in the right direction as an eco friendly option to buying bottled water. Any product that's reusable that replaces a single use item is a small win for the sustainability of our planet.

The best plastic water bottle for kids

The sturdiest option is the Camelbak water bottle, and this, plus the drinking straw is why we think the Camelbak Eddy+ is the best option for kids. Available in 400ml and 750ml, this plastic water bottle has a drinking straw and a bite valve so you don’t need to tip your head back to drink. Plus, the bite valve makes the bottle’s lid spillproof, so if you’re in the back of the car and they drop it without the spout being closed, you might get a few drops come out, but you’re not going to empty the entire contents of the bottle all over the seat, the floor, or your child.

Camelbak make their plastic water bottles from thick Tritan Eastman plastic. In 2023, the range is now Tritan Renew, made with 50% recycled material.

What’s the largest bpa free water bottle in your range?

In the Camelbak range, their Chute bottles are made from the same plastic as the Eddy+ but they have a screw lid. They are available in 750ml, 1 litre and 1.5 litres. The beauty of these lids is that they stay attached to the bottle when you unscrew the lid so you can’t lose the lid.

Our largest bottle in this category will help keep you hydrated all day. At just over 2 litres in capacity, it looks like a little water cooler bottle with a handle built into the side of the bottle to make it easy to carry around. They are one of the most popular plastic water bottles in the history of our store due to the sheer size of them.

Are all your plastic water bottles bpa free?

Yes. Everything in our store designed to touch food or drink is BPA Free.

How do I care for a reusable plastic water bottle?

We recommend all bpa free plastic water bottles be kept away from extremes of temperature and to be washed by hand. Even if they’re marked as dishwasher safe, over time, the heat starts to make the plastic cloudy and to break it down. You’ll get a longer and happier life out of any plastic water bottle by hand washing it. It is important to wash plastic water bottles on a regular basis so bacteria doesn’t grow in them.
