Thank you for sending us the pineapple pumps to try. I feel my son (17months) liked the flavour but would get frustrated with the bottle as it wasn’t very easy to open the cap himself and the kids spout wasn’t giving enough of a flow. (However I loved the safety side to it ) If I pour the water into one of his cups he would happily drink the whole thing . I shared a few bottle with friends and family visiting over the Easter weekend. 11year old did not like the flavour he said it tasted like “dry wrinkly pineapple” however the toddlers seemed to like the flavour.
What I like about the bottles was
the size – great way to track water intake with my son. I would grab one from the fridge as I leave out the door to take out and about with us .
The packaging -visually appealing (colourful swirls) , perfect size and curved shape is great for little hands
The flavour -not too sweet , subtle.
Most my photos will not upload as the files are too big
We received the pineapple flavour. It was exciting to try it out my 3 year old didn’t like the flavour but my 13 year old loved it. Thanks
We received the pineapple flavour, what a surprise when it arrived. My 3 year old tried it as she likes drinking out of pump bottle but she didn’t like the flavour. The cap and the spout is very hard to open too. I will be using them when we are out but will have to add water in it. My 13 year old actually liked the flavour and is using the bottles regularly. Thanks for the trial.
We received the pineapple flavour.
The kid-friendly nozzle is the highlight of the product. My daughter was a bit confused about why the water is not coming out, lol. By safety-wise this is great.
Here’s the hard bit, she absolutely hates it, because it is too sour. I managed to get her to drink half a bottle and that’s about the maximum she’s willing to drink. I gave away lots in the office to those have kids, hopefully, they will like it. I did ask my daughter what flavour she’s willing to try and she said strawberry.
I let her drank this during the office visit and in the royal easter show. Honestly, she drinks her water way faster than trying to let her drink this. Guess who enjoys this the most? Me! From my point of view, it ticks all the boxes. It is not boring water but has a nice natural and refreshing pineapple flavour which I really think pump does a great job!
Thank you for the opportunity to trial this product. We loved the fact our daughter was having water while the older kids were drinking juice or fizzy and she still felt like she was having her own special drink. She loved the pineapple flavour and we were impressed with how natural it tasted. Particularly as most flavoured waters have some form of artificial sweeteners in them which I am allergic to. The bottle size was perfect for our toddler in terms of volume and also in terms of being the right size for little hands. My only criticism is that the cap was impossible for her to get off and she struggled to get the sipper nozzle up/open more often than not. But overall very impressed and will definitely be buying it again. Perfect for picnics or when out and about. My 3 year old says “it’s good, really good, thumbs up!”
Thanks so much, came home and saw a box of pineapple pump mini’s on my bench, was pleasantly surprised. Have been giving them to my 3 year old grandson who up until now has not been a great fan if drinking water, but loves these. He just had to get to them before his 19 year old auntie does, she also loves them. I will be buying lots more now, instead of the raro sachets. Thanks for the opportunity to try these.
Sorry phone won’t let me post a photo
Thanks for letting us try the mini pump in pineapple flavour . Great size bottle to just chuck in ya hand bag . The top lid was hard to get off but the spout was easy to pull up. Unfortunately miss 7 did not like the flavour but she is fussy and will only drink plain water or milk/milkshake but am going to pass on so other kids can try it
My daughter is 20 months old and is full of life. Sometimes its hard to get her to drink enough water, expecially when we are on the go. She does love flavored drinks though and sometimes you cant stop her drinking them. So hopefully these would be a great healthy solution. Pun intended.
I would love to get these to try for my two children. They are very active and love drinking water so a bit of flavour would be amazing to try.
We received a box of Apple pump mini bottles. My son loves the taste of his ‘special water’, and is excited to drink them and take them with us when we go out. He does struggle with the child friendly nozzle but is starting to get the hang of it. Unfortunately the cap is difficult for him to remove and replace himself, but apart from that it’s a fantastic product.
Thank you the surprise box of Apple flavour water. First impression was good, great size bottle to take everywhere. First sip reminded us a bit of sour apples and I think the kids just expected it to be sweeter. But they like it now. It will definitely encourage more water drinking.
The top lid is definitely too hard for kids to open by themselves. Great alternative product to plain water without the sugar. Will definitely buy them if they are reasonably priced.
Couldn’t add my review via the email but they arrived the day before our Easter road trip and mr 5 loves them, great size to fit in a small cooler bag on the bag seat of the car, and awesome to fit in my bag while walking around the zoo. Only down side is I find them far too sweet so less sugar in the pineapple flavour would be great.
Thanks, Kidspoit team for sending out these to us – You asked for us to provide feedback and I’m not sure if this is the correct place?
We are really thrilled to see a natural product with no sugar in it – and my wee boy Edward actually loves them! We’ve raised him up on drinking a lot of water, but these are his absolute favourite – next part is figuring out how to stop him finishing a bottle in a single sitting!
Pro’s:
*No Sugar
*Tastes great
*A 22month old can’t get enough of them
*Perfect size for fitting in a backpack, pram/stroller etc
Cons (subjective):
Small cap – would like to see the bottle design changed to a captive cap
After a sip, closing the spout always results in a small spray of water from what remains in the 10 holes of the spout.
PLASTIC! – Would love to see some biodegradable / other options explored for packaging here.
Thanks for letting us trial these! Kids were straight into them, they loved the designs on the bottle but couldn’t manage to get the cap off by themselves (ages 2 and 5). They love the pineapple flavour and each finished their drinks with no hassles. Upon offering another bottle with their lunches yesterday my 5 year old didn’t want one and opted for plain water and my 2 year old wanted the pineapple flavour.
Hi, we received the apple flavour mini pumps.
Very handy size for little hands and kids love them. Flavour is not too strong and it’s great to not have any added sugar!
The lid is fantastic as it doesn’t spill everywhere like a bigger pump bottle. This is great when you have an adventurous 13month old who likes to climb on everything and throw his drink down in random spots!
Size is great for my 4 year old to take to preschool in his bag and these sizes will be perfect to hand out at his next playdate/birthday without having to worry about drinks being spilt.
Bottles are 100% recyclable which is a big plus.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review, we recommend and give the thumbs up 😀
We received the pineapple flavour to trial. The size of the bottles is great for little hands, although the protective cap was too difficult for my daughter to open by herself. I thought that they would be great to keep in the car for days when we have forgotten to bring our drink bottles. My daughter was excited to see the bottles, but then has refused to even try it – apparently ‘pineapple is yucky’. Thanks for the chance to trial and review the product.
My kids and I gratefully received the Pineapple flavour to trial. I’m not a fan of anything Pineapple flavour so I gave it a miss taste testing and let my kids be the trialists. My son did reel me in to smelling a bottle he opened and he was right, it smells kind of like Pineapple lumps. My kids had trouble opening the caps on the bottles but once they sorted it, they were away. Gulp, gulp, gulp, “Yum” is all I heard and saw. They said the flavoured water was delicious and refreshing and they would buy it from the shop if they had a choice to in the future. The design on the front of the bottles caught their eye and they loved the small size of it. I liked that there’s no sugar, no preservatives or sweeteners in them and my kids seemed to acknowledge that and like that also so bonus. Thanks for letting us trial these cute Pumped minis. 🙂
I’d love my kiddies to try these..I’m sure they will love them
So we received the pineapple flavour to try, my children were happy and said it tasted great. My son (5) had a bit of a problem getting the cap off so I had to do it, however my daughter (8) found it easy. My son found the smaller bottle easier to hold because of how it is shaped than other ones he’s had. They said the water nozzle was nice and smooth. I tried a bit too and loved the hint of pineapple its just enough. The size is perfect for them to carry in their hands and fits nicely in their small backpacks for when we’re out and about
Love apple flavour my daughter was easily able to hold these bottles perfect for her little hands flavour was a hit in our house hold my partner even enjoyed them will definitely buy these again perfect for my wee girl out and about.
I must say when I opened the box orginally and saw pineapple flavor I had mixed feelings and thought I’m the only one who will be drinking this…but my kids absolutely love it.
The dash of flavor adds enough taste to make the kids think its juice without all the sugar… bonus – score… and I am totally hooked myself.
The people who designed the bottle definitely had small kids in mind and just perfect, it fits in bottle holders lunch pack coolers and really has been great for on the move. We have had a stomach bug in the house this weekend and it has been an life saver getting fuilds into the little body. I will definitely be looking out for this in the shops and super keen to try the apple…
I LOVE IT…I’m totally sold… thank you for sharing with our family
My son loved the flavour of the pineapple flavoured water – much preferred than plain water so that was good as I have always had trouble with him drinking enough water on its own. He found the bottle shape easy to hold and squeeze and nozzle good as well. Excellent for just quick grab and go short trips away but would prefer larger bottles for longer excursions. However, nothing preventing him taking more than one! Overall, I was very happy with this trial pineapple flavoured water as it went down a treat with my son – hardly any left in the box! Thanks for the trial – will look out for the apple flavoured ones for him to try as well.
My kids are age 4 and 6 and we would love to try this as we try to stay away from sugar, preservatives and sweetness so these would be perfect for our family!
First impressions – love the shape of the bottle, easy for my girls to hold although I found getting the caps off a bit tricky! Really loved the packaging design, was fun and inviting and also a big tick for being fully recyclable, well done. To be honest, my two girls didn’t like the taste of these at all – we had the apple flavour. They tried it unchilled straight from the box, then again chilled – both times they said they tasted ‘yucky’…!!! I also tried them, and to be honest I didn’t like them at all, I found the taste a little strange. Loved everything else about them, but sadly the taste didn’t measure up! Thank you for letting us try these.
Water size is bliss so easy for little ones to handle and so easy to throw in a handbag.First few sips not keen BUT when they kept drinking they became fans. Definately love the convenience of throwing this in the bag for an outing and avoiding that having to purchase a sugary drink or crazy priced water in big bottle that gets cast aside. Flavour we had was pineapple, will be on the lookout to purchase the apple next. Love these trials, fun way to experiment with new products … thanks !* .
Big surprise when a box of pineapple arrived today my wee boy absolutely loves it! And mum and dad don’t mind it either
Caps are a bit hard to remove at first but fine after that. Fit perfectly in the cup holder in the highchair and in my handbag for on the go
Squeals all round when the box appeared on our doorstep! 18 mini bottles gone in one long weekend – both girls (aged 7 and 10) both loved them!
Did find the lids and opening them a bit difficult tho have to say
We recieved pineapple. Kids were super excited tonsee what was inside the box. First reaction from my 4yr old was ‘yuck’ but think that was just because it wasnt plain water. When he looked at bottle and saw the pineapple pics he was happy to drink it. Caps were hard to take off first pop, but once off, its fine. Spouts are easy to open, which is great for the 2yr old. Great size, fit well in bottle sections on the kids backpacks, fitting 2 in my ‘handbag/nappy bag’ was great. Perfect for an outing lasting a couple hours, such as a trip to playground. Overall i, along with the kids, are happy with this product. Thanks for allowing us to trial it.
Always buy my daughter mini pumps as she loves the novelty of the bottle rather then drinking it from a cup.
She would love to trial the flavoured water as I could replace the little juice she gets with the flavoured water.
She is 2 and a half
