Advantages: Good size and curved for easy holding

Disadvantages: can sometimes be hard to clean

When I felt my Daughter was old enough to move from a beaker to a sports bottle I decided to head out and buy one. My daughter was a huge fan of in the night garden at the time and when asking which one she wanted, she chose the makka pakka one.

The description:

The bottle is all blue. It is a good size so there is no need to keep filling it up. It tends to last my daughter all day when fully filled. It has a curved back to make it easier for small hands to hold. Another great benefit is the twist top, it is very easy for my daughter to open and close this and it holds the liquid in so no spills. On the front is a picture of makka pakka.

The sports bottle is very easy to store and doesn't take up much space in a bag. It is a bit too big to fit in a lunch box but a lunch bag is fine. After I purchased this bottle I looked out for an iggle piggle or an upsey daisy one too but it just seemed to be makka pakka that was available. I have recently realised that there is a lot more products available now from the in the night garden range.

Extra information:

To clean the sports bottle I use a baby bottle cleaning brush as it ensures to get the bottle cleaned thoroughly. Due to the bottle being quite deep and rounded sometimes it can be difficult to clean, especially if it has contained milk or hot chocolate.

The cost:

I purchased this bottle from Mothercare and it cost around £4.00. I would definitely recommend shopping around though.

Overall:

I like the design for this bottle; it is an excellent shape for small hands to hold without struggle.

Summary: A great sports bottle
