Thankyou for the opportunity to try this, we choose the apple flavour as we had already tried the pineapple flavour.
We took these as our drinks for the peppa pig movie, 2year old loved it, 4 year old refused to even taste it, 8year old thought it was yummy.
2yo drank 4yo’s bottle as well after we got home.
The 4yo does however love the pineapple flavour and asks for it whenever we go shopping
We recieved the pineapple flavour. My 9year old son loved it but wished he got the other flavours to try since he likes strawberries and fejos. Nozzle was kids friendly but splashes out water when closed. He used it for his soccer training and games, which encouraged him to drink more. He used up 4bottles at a time with his games. We will surely buy this product. We also took it to movies so was a healthy choice then buying the drinks with popcorn. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to trial.
We loved being able to trial the Pump mini with apple :)) the first time my 6 and 4 year old tried to open them neither could, my 6 year old unscrewed the whole lid but she can now do it herself whilst my 4 year old needs help with getting the cap off initially 🙂 I didn’t tell them what flavour it was but my 6 year old said she could taste apple and my 4 year old said it tasted just like water 🙂 6 year old is a fan and she has taken a bottle to swimming and dancing as a treat. I am not sure whether my 4 year old is a fan he seems to want it if his sister does but never drinks his whole bottle. I love the idea of these as I would prefer to grab one of these for them when out and about as a treat instead of a juice. My kids only really drink water and watered down juice but I will be recommending it to friends that struggle to get their children to drink water. My 6 year old wants to try the pineapple next :))
Thank you for choosing us as one of your product trialist for pump mini. We received the pineapple flavour. The easy kid nozzle was agreat feature because my daughter was able to drink on her own without any mess. She loved being the boss when it comes to drinking. We brought the pump mini at the beach while enjoying the sun and sand she had easy access for water. We had no worries for my daughter’s thirst when we are out of the house because of the pump mini. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family the product and we will buy it again.We will try the other flavours of pump mini next time.
Hi we received the pineapple flavour.
Miss 10 really likes it, so surprised that with such strong flavour and it being fairly sweet that it didnt have any sugar! She keeps asking to have a bottle so enjoys it. She has trouble taking off the cap but the sipper part is fine. It had a good flow and didnt leak which is fantastic! It was also great that it tasted good at room temperature as well as from the fridge! Big hit in our house!
We use them for after school activities like swimming, hiphop and netball. Its great as she needs to rehydrate but was hard to get her to drink plain water, we also take it when just heading out and about they are such a handy size! I would definately recommend these to others.
Thank you so much for a really great product!
We received the pineapple flavor pumped mini and both children were very excited at the size of the box when it arrived, and the amount of drinks inside of it so a huge thank you. Both children (aged 9 & 10) had problems opening the lids the first time they tried them, but I think that could have been because they were both in such a rush to open them. Once they got the hang of it they were fine from then on. After a couple of bottles my 10 year old son decided that he wasn’t too keen on the flavour but my 9 year old daughter absolutely loved it! I think it’s the first time we’ve not had to remind her to drink more water which is fantastic. They are such a handy size for kids, and both children took them to their school holiday activities such as soccer, art class and karate. My daughter also took some when she went for a sleepover at Nana’s house.
I see that the other flavour is apple which is my son’s favourite juice flavour so I think I will buy some of the apple flavour to see what he thinks, as they are so convenient for when they are rushing out the door for after school and weekend activities. Overall, a huge thumbs up from our family.
So we were lucky enough to try the apple flavour. The kids loved it. My 2 year polished off 3 bottles pretty well straight away. He doubled his fluid drinking while he had this. A friend of mine gave a bottle to her 2 year old while she was here and she loved it, normally won’t touch flavoured water. The 6 and 9 year old wanted more of it. It was great cause it didn’t spill, very easy for all the kids to drink from. They did all need help to take the cap off but like the sipper top on it. The small size of it is perfect for taking out and not being heavy in the bag. Will definitely continue buying this.
Forgot to say it was pineapply flavour that we tried and didn’t like
Thanks for the opportunity to try this product. Unfortunately, neither me or my son liked the flavour. My friend’s daughter tried it and she didn’t like it either. We drink a lot of water but my friend’s kids tend to drink more sugarly drinks so I am surprised that she didn’t like it either
Thanks for the chance to review these. They have come in handy for taking out shopping or on a car trip as I can fit two comfortably in my bag and they are plenty to keep little people happy. My two year drinks this happily but my 7 year old wasn’t too thrilled on it, I have to agree with him however as I felt it left a sort of plasticy taste in my mouth. He will however happily reuse the bottle, the original protective cap is hard to get off but the normal lid is okay for them both. Thanks 🙂
We received the Apple mini pumps. Feel so lucky to have received a whole box! My 3.5 yr old thought they were pretty neat and had a lot of fun playing with them on the floor after miss 9months tipped the box over haha. Miss 3.5 enjoyed her special Apple drink. She just had it at home when chilling out or in the car travelling too or from town. Being 3.5 she didn’t have too much feedback on the bottle but I personally thought they were good. About time water came out with nothing bad in it 🙂
(I tried to upload a photo but it said file too big).
My 5 year old would love to try out apple flavored pump mini because I think these would come handy specially when we out and about or taking to school with him.
My kids loved the flavour of these and it definitely got them more enthused about drinking water. However they did struggle a little with getting the caps off themselves. We got the apple flavour and it was really delicious!
Our household received the Pineapple pump bottle flavour. It was a very subtle taste and daughter said it tasted more like water, but did enjoy. She has been taking a bottle of this to school for the last 3 days’.
My son had difficulty opening the top and in the end unscrewed the bottle to drink. I also found it pretty hard opening and both of us got so frustrated that we had to drink it out of the top.
These bottles would be ideal on holiday and drinking in the car as adults can help with the opening of the cap and there will be little of no spillage. Love the idea that the Pumped Mini is only 2 calories which is great and keeps little ones hydrated while enjoying the slight taste of the pineapple. Must try the apple next when I find it on the supermarket shelf. Many thanks for this trial.
Thank you for the opportunity to review these bottles. We received pineapple flavor. I had trouble opening the lid so did Mr 6. I think the cover should be more soft. The taste was good but I won’t consider it as alternative to water. My son didn’t like it that much. My neighbors toddler liked it very much. It’s a good alternative to juice.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to trial the mini pump bottles. We got the apple flavour and just in time for our Easter weekend camping trip. The bottles were the perfect size for the 3 kids and the easy kids drinking tops were awesome miss 5 and Mr 2 really enjoyed it but Mr 7 wasn’t to keen on the flavour and said it tasted weird. I had a sip and really liked it. I will definitely be getting these for kids drinks for trips away, car rides and boating trips. Thanks kids pot and pump
Thank you for the opportunity to try these. We received the Apple flavour which the sound of didn’t actually appeal very much, but once tried we all quite enjoyed these.The hint of Apple was not overpowering and was quite refreshing. My son in particular liked the flavour. We all found them great to grab on the go and really liked the size, ideal to chuck in a lunch box. It was really handy having these in the fridge and even I upped my water intake whilst they were there!! We all had trouble with the lid however and usually just removed the whole lid to drink. Little fingers I think would struggle with this.I am interested to see what the price is and will be looking for the Pineapple flavour in the supermarket to try this as well 🙂
We got the Pineapple Flavour. The bottles are a nice shape and size. Taste is good. Not to strong and a nice alternative to the stronger flavored waters available. I don’t think we would buy these as a water alternative, but would as juices alternative, as a treat.We did have a lip injury from getting squashed between the lip when Miss 15 months was mucking around, but that was user fault.
We received the apple flavour. The kids (and husband) were very excited to try it. I found the lid quite difficult to open but no one else had a problem so maybe it was just me! My daughter usually likes flavoured water but was not keen on this. She said she prefers the flavours available in the larger pump bottles. Husband liked it but son not very keen on the flavour. I tried it and I found it is like drinking water with an aftertaste of apple. I don’t think we will be buying this product as we do not think the flavour is nice enough to make it better than drinking plain water. Thank you for the opportunity to trial this though.
We received our box of Pineapple flavour last Thursday. My 3 were super excited to open it, and love the bottles. (Fun to look at/play with/drink out of)
Mis’s 6 didn’t really like the flavour, until she got sick and then she liked it.
Master 4 didn’t like the taste at all. Loved the bottle, and likes reusing it with normal water.
Master 1 LOVES everything about the bottle /flavour. (But could be because he’s never been allowed things like that before)
I wasn’t overly impressed with the flavour, but do find that the size/design of the bottles is awesome, and definitely appeals to kids.
This has been a big hit with our boys particularly Mr 4. We received the apple flavour which was subtle and not overpowering. It was good at convincing the kids they were getting more than just water. its the perfect size for taking out and leak proof for the nappy bag or handbag. We particularly liked these on long car trips during the school holidays. It was enough of a treat to keep the boys happy and no mess for us to have to worry about with other drinks.
Our kids couldnt get the caps off but that was ok, meant they couldnt just go help themselves to the big box. Definitely a good drink to have on hand to throw in the car or backpack on a day out.
As for the kids feedback Mr 4 says “mmm yummy” while Mr 2 had not much to say but he drunk them so must have been good.
Thank you for allowing us to review this product. We had previously tried the apple, and for the review, we received the pineapple water. I have three children, aged 7, 5 and 3. I am fortunate that they are all great water drinkers, however, what I love about this product, is they think this water is a treat! They all like the taste, but preferred the apple. I think the mini bottles are brilliant, quick and easy to throw in your bag when you’re running out the door, enough to satisfy a child on an outing without lugging big bottles around all day. We would definitely buy this product, but in the apple flavour. While the review is for kids’ feedback, just thought I would add that I didn’t really enjoy the taste of the pineapple water, but the apple one was great! Would be great to see some other flavours added in the future, perhaps mandarin, or lime? Thank you for the opportunity to review this product.
First off thank you for allowing us to try this amazing product. Our kids have never been so happy to drink water!! Is will be purchased in the future!! The only issue we faced was they weren’t a massive fan of the bottle. I think it was a bit hard for them to drink fast enough 🙂 our 7 yr old just unscrewed the lid and downed his in seconds and our 1yr old she slowly sipped away but I also emptied one into her own drink bottle. 100% a hit and recommend to any parent struggling to get water In to there kid’s. I also enjoyed a few bottled myself. Delicious!!!!
Thanks so much for the chance to review these!! We received the Apple ones. They are a great sized bottle for little hands, although that cap is really tricky to open even for the adults!!
All three of my kids 9,7&4 loved the flavour of the water, they don’t drink juice very often so gave them a special treat without the sugar overload (sugar makes my 9 yr old craaaaaazy!!) it has just a super soft apple background taste while still tasting like water which everyone noted was really yummy! my 9 yr old also wanted me to add she liked that the cap had a “filter” on it so she couldn’t backwash the bottle hehe. Would love to see these as a bigger version although a great size for my 4 yr old the older two had it finished in about 5 minutes. I would definitely reach for these for the kids when we are out and about over the more sugary alternatives, really enjoyed trialing these and the kids will be keeping an eye out for them in the shops
My two kids would love to try this new water. I have a almost 6 year old and a 3 year old with another one on the way. My kids are both active and rugby season is about to start for them so this would be perfect.
I recieved my box of Pineapple flavoured pump water and the kids were so excited.
They frantically opened the box “can we have one, PLEASE? ” It is safe to say they were a hit. They demolished the box within days.
The perfect size for my toddler to carry around with him, fits in my preschoolers lunch box, but also more than adequate for my 10yr old to take to rugby practice.
Easy to open sipper top can regulate the flow depending on the child. These were perfect for getting my kids to drink water over juice or fizz..
Thank you.
Thanks for the opportunity to try the pump minis. We received the pineapple flavour and my 7 year old and 4 year old were very excited. I decided to use them at my 4 years olds family birthday party and they looked great and very appealing to the kids as they thought it was a real treat. The bottles are a handy size , although it can be difficult to open the caps. My 7 year old son loved the flavour and drank most of them, I think he would be keen to try the other flavour out too which is so much better than juice, my 4 year old daughter wasn’t as keen on the pineapple flavour but I’ll try her with the apple flavour and see if she prefers it.
We received the pineapple flavour and my 8 year old daughter loved it, she said it tastes nice and like pineapple.
The bottles were a bit hard to get the top cap off, but once I did that she was fine.
They were the perfect size for outings and we have taken them in my handbag to the movies, netball and to the beach. They were perfect for in the car during trips in the holidays too- not so big that you have to stop for the toilet every 5 mins lol.
I loved that she thought they were a treat but I felt that they were a good alternative with no sugar, win-win.
I would definitely buy these again in the future.
thanks for choosing us to review the mini pump bottles! we have a 7 y girl and 11 y boy. we got the pineapple flavour, the bottles are very cool, great size for kid hands. the bottles were very hard to get the lid off of. my kids didn’t really like the flavour of the pineapple, to be honest it smelled like pineapple but just tasted like water. which was a shame, cause they are perfect size to chuck in a backpack and go off to the park, or for a walk.
We received the pineapple flavour. The kids were very excited to try it. The bottles are appealing and both kids were keen to try it. The lids were a bit hard to open. The bottles were a good size to chuck in the handbag (to sneak into the movies). Great size for the kids to take to after school activities and even to school. I like the fact they have no sugar. Miss 8 really liked it however Mr 7 was not a fan. He took a couple of sips and that was it. He does use the bottle with plain water in it though. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to trial it.
