Thank you for giving us a chance to review the mini pump! We were so excited to receive the box!
We got the apple flavour ( my girls fav fruit).. to start with, the bottles look very appealing with the apple on them. They are in a great size bottle, easy to take out! The sugar free option was great as my family only has plain water so these went down as a treat! Love them! They will be in our picnic basket from now on!
My girls were so excited when our Pineapple Pump mini waters turned up. They rushed inside with it and asked please can we try, please can we try. All 3 of my girls liked the water. One of their friends came.over to play and he liked it too. It is a good size bottle. Easy to take places or.fit in lunch boxes. One of my girls took a bottle to karate. My girls do Rippa Rugby, Dance, netball, Karate etc so this is perfect or to help.hydrate them.after school if we are out and about.
Will be trying the apple when we see at the supermarket too.
We received apple flavour which were a huge hit with the family. Great to chuck in the bag when we head out, taste great and even better that they are sugar free!
All 3 kids loved this product (which is an almost impossible feat) They all loved the apple flavour and kept asking for their apple water. Mum was happily surprised at the lack of sugar and nasties in this product. A great size bottle (not too big for road trips – no stopping for pit stops all the time) and no wastage. This product will be on our shopping list for sure! Caps were a bit hard to get off but as long as we had an adult to help we were all good. Might be something we consider for our daughters upcoming 5th birthday 🙂
Thankyou very much for choosing us to review the product.we got the pineapple flavour. My 3 year old loved it but only downside is the bottle cap it’s very hard to open and he needs our help to open it everytime
My daughter is not fond of drinking anything. Would love to give these a go, especially as they are a healthy option
Thanks so much for the chance to review. For some reason I can’t upload photo though so if you can please let me know another way to provide it would be great.
We received the pineapple flavour. The nozzle was relatively simple for mr 5 however not so easy for Miss nearly 3.
The kids loved the little bottles. Mr 5 enjoyed the water while little miss wasn’t as much of a fan. They are only water / milk drinkers usually (and homemade juice/smoothies) and we do on occasion but flavoured water like this.
We used the product everywhere. On outings for the day, and in the car where the kids always need a drink. And there was one included in my wee dudes lunch for his first day of school!
Would love to try the other flavors and see how they find those. Will definately give them a try once we have finished the little bottles we have.
These will always be an occasional purchase though, as I much prefer our own stainless drink bottles we refill with water, in order to minimize plastic usage.
As above my kids already drink lots of water anyways as that’s what’s they’ve always been offered, but it’s great to have a good natural low sugar alternative to provide something different for when it’s needed.
Thanks so much again for the chance to try these!
thanks for the chance to review. we recieved pineapple flavour.
both the 2 kids and mum and dad grabbed a bottle to try before our family bush walk.
The bottle tops were a hit. was easy enough for the kids to use without help. bottle was a good size.
but the flavour was mixed reviews, 2 of us didnt like the flavour.. it was odd.. the other 2 liked the flavour.
would definately try again other flavours! cheers kidspot
Thankyou for our pump minis! We receive apple flavour. The whole family really enjoyed the taste of this water, very crisp and a little tart.
I could really tell it was sugar free so felt no need to limit the amount that my wee mini drunk 👍
I found it to be really thirst quenching.
The size of the bottles are perfect for little hands and can fit easily into wee backpacks. The drinking spout was comfortable to drink from however the plastic lid was difficult for my daughter to get off on her own.
I would definitely buy this over and above any other flavoured drink for my daughter.
Thankyou very much!
We received the Apple flavour and everyone liked it, even hubby which surprised me.
It has helped my 3 year old increase his water intake and he has enjoyed sharing with his buddies who also liked it.
I think it would be great made into ice blocks in summertime.
Thanks for the opportunity to try this awesome wee product.
Thanks for the opportunity to review the Pumped Mini. We received the pineapple flavour which my non water drinking son, I’m delighted to say, really loves! So great to have something sugar free that he will happily drink! Love the bottle size, great for kids and the cap was reasonably easy for him to open himself. He enjoyed the novelty of grabbing a bottle whenever he was thirsty so used them all the time at home, and also when he was out for a bike ride. Will definitely be buying these!
Thanks for the opportunity to review the pump flavoured water in apple flavour. The novelty of a special drink for my kids really got them excited so I waited to see the reaction on how it actually went down. Smiles all round after first sips so it was definitely a winner! I love the size as it’s not too heavy for little ones and easy to pack in school bags not weighing them down too much. I do agree the first lid is a little difficult to remove but at the same time you do want something secure so there’s no leaking in the bag. The kids want to try more flavours now so when we next see the Pineapple flavour in supermarkets we’ll be sure to try. Thanks once again!
Thank you kidspot and pump for giving us the opportunity to review this product. We got pineapple flavour and they kids have loved just being able to grab a wee bottle on the go over the school holidays while we’ve been out and busy. They love the flavour and I love the idea that they are nice and little and enough to keep them hydrated. They found it great how they could just grab one out of the box before school today and not have to try and find a drink bottle and go to all that effort. I would definitely recommend these for a handy wee bottle to take along for littlies to stay hydrated. Only downfall was my kids found there was not enough flavour. They still drink them but would prefer more pineapple flavour in it. Me on the other hand I love my water and found it very refreshing with its splash of pineapple in it.
Would love to trial this, as we do alot of outdoor activities, childrens ages are 3, 9 and 11. Hard to get water especially into the 11yr old just doesnt like the flavour so this looks like a possible product that could help. Thanks so much lorena
First of all- Thank you for the opportunity to trial and review these! My daughter absolutely loved these mini pumps. We received the Apple flavor and she enjoyed them. They were so handy to grab when we were leaving the house and while out and about. I really like how they have no sweeteners, sugar or preservatives. I know that what im giving my daughter is healthy and I know whats in it. I am very impressed with these, especially their child friendly sized bottle.
Thanks for choosing us to review the pump flavoured water. We received the pineapple flavour. First thing I noticed was that the lids seemed really hard to come off, so didn’t think that would be good for smaller kids at school. We all tried the water and unfortunately none of us liked it. I would drink it if there was no plain water available but wouldn’t go out of my way to drink it and would not buy it. Both my kids said they prefer plain water. I normally would have supplied a picture of us enjoying our review product but didn’t think it appropriate for this one. The water will not go to waste as I told the kids to take it to school for their friends to try.
Thanks Kidspot for the chance to review these – they have been a hit in our house. We received the apple flavour and while it took a little while for the kids to get used to the taste of the apple, after they’d tried a bottle each they have been happily drinking them since. As a parent, I’m happy anytime I can get my kids to drink water so I don’t mind them drinking these at all – especially since they have no sugar or preservatives.
The bottles are really great and perfect for the younger kids to hold with the packaging being very vibrant in our fridge. The kids did struggle to try and get the lids off but found the nozzle easy to open once they were in. I really liked that the nozzle had all the different holes in them to slow the release of the water so I didn’t have to worry about my youngest spilling it all over himself.
Overall a great product and really appreciate the chance to review. Would definitely buy again and would be interested in trying the pineapple flavour.
Thank you for sending us the apple flavour bottles…my kid was so excited when he saw the box next to the front door. He liked the bottles…and thought it is a mix of juice and water and wanted to take one each day to school. However it is really hard to open the cap,so we ended emptying the bottles in cups or his water bottle.
I would recommend this product…it is really important for the kids to drink water and this is a great motivation to drink more and more.
Thank you again…we loved it
Thanks for choosing us for the trial – it has been a massive hit in our house and I don’t think I’ve seen the kids drink as much water as I did over the last few weeks. We received the pineapple flavour which had a nice hint of pineapple without being too overpowering. The whole family really loved it and even the fussiest of the bunch was quite happy to keep drinking.
The bottles are also great. The packaging is fun and colourful so drew the eye of the little ones instantly. My youngest found it really easy to grip and I love that the nozzle slowed the pace of the water. Very toddler friendly. The lid was a little hard to get off for my tot but the older kids were able to do it just fine which was great as it meant my toddler wasn’t spilling water all over the place. Love that the bottles are also recyclable and small enough that I could fit a few in my bag when we were out and about.
We’ve been refilling the bottles with plain water and popping them back in the fridge as the kids still want to drink from the bottles but I would definitely pick up the pineapple for the family again. Thanks Kidspot!
Just adding to previous comment, we received the apple flavour. I also like how its no sugar and no sweetener and was is a great party drink for kids as we found on the weekend. The packaging is appealing too. Thank you for allowing us to trial:)
My 2 year old and 5 year old daughters love this drink. My 5 year old asks every day for one as ashe really likes the taste. When my 2 year old tried hers for the first time, she wouldn’t let it go until she’d finished it. Only issue would be the caps are hard for kids to get off. My 8 year old nephew found it too hard too. Other than that, a real hit in our household!
We received a box of pineapple flavoured water.
I like the size of the bottles, but found the cap incredibly hard to remove and ended up having to hand it over to someone else to try. no good when I’m alone with the kids.
I taste is subtle, not to overpowering and not sweet either, which is good. they were very popular with my big kids and little one. My older girl took one with her to the movies, and out with her friends. My toddler takes them everywhere!. really good for the car and fits nicely into the cup holder of our pram.
Would I keep buying these over and over as an every day item? the answer would be no. but I would consider buying them for Birthday party guests, as an alternative to other less healthy drinks. or maybe if we were going on holiday or camping where fresh drinks were less avaible to us.
These arrived at the perfect time – just before we headed out on holiday on the boat for Easter.
Initially, I thought these seemed great and my little guy (2 yrs) was very excited to have his own special water bottle! However, it appears he didn’t like the flavour (apple) – after the first few sips he handed me back the bottle and then refused it each time I tried to offer it to him later on, preferring to drink plain water instead.
We found the lid quite hard to open and not very kiddie friendly. My husband commented that it seemed like quite a lot of plastic in the lid compared to the traditional pump bottle and although the bottle size is good for a kid, he thought it was encouraging more disposable plastic use.
I also found that the bottles leaked if left on their side without the cap pushed down.
So although we were excited to try these, unfortunately, they’re a no go for us – but will be interested to see if my friends kids like them.
Perfect timing of the delivery of the mini pump apple flavour as we were heading off on a camping holiday with friends for Easter. I gave each of the kids their own pump mini bottle to have around the campground. First impression from the kids on the flavour was a mixed one. 2 out of 5 of the kids enjoyed it but the others were not keen whatsoever! For those not keen on the flavour I emptied the bottle out and they reused their mini pump bottles filled with plain water instead. I would be interested to know if they prefer the pineapple flavour instead of the apple, so might need to give that flavour a try in the future.
The cap was quite hard to get off for the little ones, but the nozzle was definitely easier than traditional pump bottles. I found the size perfect for having in the car and on the move as it was small enough to fit in little hands. They all loved having their own special bottle to drag around everywhere they went!
I think it is a great idea and I will be putting the rest of the bottles out on my daughters birthday party table for each of the kids to have their own drink.
Thank you for the opportunity to try this product.
Thanks so much Kidspot and Pump for giving us the opportunity to trial this product! My 6 year old was pretty excited about this as she really lives on water, usually plain or fizzy. She is dairy intolerant so can’t drink milk and doesn’t like any other form (coconut, almond etc). We received the Pumped Mini pineapple flavour to try 🙂 I think she would have been happy with either flavour. So I really love that the Pumped Mini has no sugar and natural flavours!! We have never let our daughter drink flavoured water in the past due to having added sugars or non natural flavours, so these are awesome! One quite big negative for these bottles however is the “kid friendly” lid – this is definitely not kid friendly unfortunately – even myself and hubby had issues getting the cap off the bottles, especially if it had been in the fridge and had any moisture on it, our daughter was unable to get these caps off at all 🙁 This was the only negative about the Pumped Mini though as they taste great, are a great size to take with you anywhere and are natural. I would buy again but the issues with the cap/lid would put me off a bit. Thanks again!
So excited to try the Pumped Mini. First impressions were that the bottles were a great size for the little ones but both kids found the caps a bit hard to get off and needed help. We received the Apple flavour and both kids took a bit of warming up to the taste. Once they got used to it though they both drank a full bottle in no time at all. I like the convenient size and the fact there are no artificial flavours or preservatives. I don’t mind giving the kids a treat like this if it’s good for them. Overall these were a hit in our house! Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you for the chance to try this water for my grandkids. We received the Pineapple flavour and Mr 2.5 loved it immediately – in his words it was ‘de-rish-ish”! Miss 18 months wasn’t too fussed but she’s more used to drinking out of a sippy cup so she might be a bit young to be able to properly enjoy it. I loved the fact that the bottles were a convenient size to pop in my bag or in the pram when we went walking. Giving them a treat that is all natural was a bonus.
Thank you for the chance to review Pumped Mini. We received the Apple flavor. They are the perfect size especially for the littlest members of our family and they really enjoyed them also. We look forward to trying the Lemon flavor in the future! I would definitely recommend other parents to buy these for their little ones if they are looking for a healthy flavored drink option.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to review your product. We received the apple flavour and both my girls were so excited when they saw the Pump box delivered. My family especially my girls loved it, the best thing about the apple flavoured water is that it has no sugar and still taste awesome. It tastes like apple juice so that does the trick with plenty of water being consumed.
The bottles were a perfect serving size for the kids and would be easy to pop into their school / sports bags to be carried around.
The Sugar Free drink option works perfectly for my family and its very refreshing.
Will be buying more of this.
Thanks for the chance to review your product. Great surprise to come home and see these here… Kids were very excited and loved the look of the bottles. Attractive well packaged and designed. Great size bottles and we are using them over and over again.. Lid was hard for the kids to get off. We received the pineapple flavour. Miss almost 3 loved them-drunk them all day everyday (she has only ever had plain water), Mr 4 however found bitter and sour. He wasn’t a fan, but still wanted plain water in the bottle as he loved it so much. Hope feedback helps and thanks for the chance to review.
