We received the Apple Flavour. Great wee bottles to chuck in the kids bags, or baby bag. My 10 month old isn’t so keen on thee taste but my 12 year old loves them! The only negative that I found was when pushing down the lid, it would spray each time. Did it to my face twice haha. Thank you for the opportunity to give these babies a go! We really enjoyed it!
Thanks for the Pump Mini Apple flavoured drinks! They are a great addition to my daughters sports bag, she is a busy kid playing for two teams this winter. They are also encouraging my son to drink a bit more, so that’s a great thing!
We received the pineapple flavour and it was a hit with my 2 year old boy. I found the sipper nozzle easy for him to open and he was drinking a lot more water since trying these. We took one everywhere with us even just to the supermarket and he always finished the whole thing. I love that it is sugar free and naturally flavoured. Will definitely be buying again. Thanks Kidspot 🙂
We received the apple flavour. Both children enjoyed the taste and could open the caps easily. They are the perfect size to grab while on the go. We enjoyed ours on walks, hunting trips and at sports as we could grab them on the way out and the compact size means we could easily throw them into backpacks. I love that my children thought these were a treat despite the fact they have no sugar which is a huge bonus for us. We would definitely get these again!
Thanks for choosing us to review the pumped minis! We received the pineapple flavour. Unfortunately it wasn’t a huge hit with my boy who is 6. He said it tasted. “too watery” maybe he was expecting more of a pineapple taste. He usually brings plain water to school so he liked it as a treat instead of that though.. And I even sent one along for his friend to try too. He liked it. I gave some away to get different reviews but they also said it was watery! The lid was very hard to get off.. Even I couldn’t do it a few times but it stopped leaking. My boy used his teeth to get the lid off.
Thank you for the opportunity to trial the Pumped Mini Pineapple. Our kids 7, 9 and 11 all really liked the flavour. I think we were all taken a bit by surprise as there was no sweetness but as we used them solely for sports practice and Saturday morning sports, they were a huge hit and definitely quenched the thirst they had built up playing sport! The sweetness wasnt missed! The kids all found the cap a bit tricky to remove, which may be something that should be looked at… even a little flip lid would be better than one that is completely removed. The size was great for an extra wee special drink, but my kids can easily demolish 1L of water at sport, so the pumped mini was a a treat from their other water and fit easily in their sport bags. The colours on the bottle are bright and fun which the kids loved also. I would buy these again, as we would love to try the apple flavoured one.
Yay, I received my pump mini box. Was not expecting a whole box but I was stoked and so were the kids!
The first thing I noticed was the bright packaging- especially on the box, I like how they kept the plastic on the bottle as clear as possible with a few splashes of colour.
I do really like the flavours, there different from your average run of the mill flavours.
The only bad thing I can say about these is that the cap is very hard to open/break the seal of.
I love that these contain no sugar, preservatives or sweeteners. I have very little sugar in my diet and would like my kids to be the same.
I did notice there a great size for your handbag if you don’t have kids!
Thanks for the opportunity to trail the pump mini.
Hi,
Thanks for the trial of pineapple pump. I’m sorry to say it was not a success at all for us.
The lids were difficult to open, I thought it was just me but my mum and husband also found them tricky so I don’t think they would work well with children.
My husband and I disliked the sourness of the flavour and my son refused to even try it.
I do appreciate that it was sugar free, and without artificial sweetners was also a bonus as I dislike the aftertaste of products with those in. I think the product will encourage people to drink more water, just not my family with this one.
The girls were lucky enough to recieve the Pineapple pump mini water bottles and absolutely loved them. At first they struggled a little bit removing the cap but got the hang of it very quickly especially Miss 4. I was very impressed with the the sipper cap and found that not too much rushed out which was perfect for Miss 2. I found the size perfect for both my girls and so easy to be able to throw one each into my handbag and not worry about it being extra weight or leaking through my bag. The girls think they are a right treat as they usually only have plain water. We are definitely going to look for the Apple ones at the supermarket to try next. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
Thanks for the opportunity to trial the flavoured pump mini. Pump minis are normally mr 3’s drink of choice when out and about after me opening the cap which was too hard for him, he enjoyed trying the pineapple flavour “this tastes like delicious pear” he told me while trying his first bottle on the way home from the Easter show. I took the delicious and “fruit flavoured” both as positive even though not specific. They are handy to have in the car for the long journeys when he is all of a sudden the most thirsty he has ever been but also not too bug a size that when he decides to fill his cupholders my car is drenched for weeks…
We will definitely get these again and keep a few spares in the car and keen to try the apple flavour too.
We received the Pineapple flavour. It was definitely a hit and miss. My 5 year old preferred it more than my 9 year old. We took this along with us on our beach adventure, to playgrounds and road trips. I also gave some to my 3 nieces and nephews. Overall they found the taste a little odd and they werent overly excited by it. Personally dont think we would purchase this particular flavour but would try the others.
The kids weren’t keen at first as they said it was watery but then after a couple of them they got used to the taste and really enjoyed them. They were so handy for after league and also to take to school. We would def recommend them to other.
Thank you for the pump mini pineapple flavoured water! They are the perfect size for the kids. Sent to preschool with one and it is the only time it has been emptied and then refilled again, it’s normally a struggle to get him to drink water but these work a charm. Perfect for the park, swimming, in the car and in the school bags. Thank you again I will definitely be purchasing these in the future and would recommend them to friends and family 🙂
The pumped mini pineapple flavour was very popular with the kids, they are the perfect size to take out for that impromptu picnic at the park, nothing gets wasted, I would buy this product if I needed to get the kids a quick drink out and about
Hi We received the Apple flavoured Pump mini bottles. My four children all loved them and they were all gone in 2 days. They took them to school as they preferred them to plain water. They also had them as an after school drink and took them to football and rugby training. They didn’t last till the weekend but I am sure they would have taken them if there were any left. I had to remove the top cap for my two youngest children a couple of times before they got the hang of getting it off. They liked the drinking nozzle. Size was good for taking out too. Liked the size especially for in school bags. Thanks for the trial.
We received the apple flavour. The bottles were the perfect size for lunch boxes. Flavour was subtle and not over powering. I also took the bottles to work. As a care worker I do random hours and I found the bottles perfect size for a couple of jobs and was small enough to carry around. Most impressed. Everyone enjoyed the flavour and we will be purchasing again. Many thanks.
My two year old loved these. We received the apple flavour which was really nice and not too sweet. Great sized bottle especially when you’re out on the go – we took these on our outings to the park and playground etc as they are a great size. The only thing is the sipper bit is a bit hard for young ones to open – so we had to do this – but they’re easy to close which is the main thing! Would definitely buy
Thanks for sending us a box of the Apple flavoured Pump Minis!
These were super handy over the holidays, the novelty factor meant the kids considered them a treat – little did they know! I’d be really pleased if food retailers started offering these in children’s meal deals instead of juice. My kids would never choose a plain water option if they were eating out, but would definitely go for these! There was just enough flavour and sweetness.
The bottles were cute and a good size to sip on alongside lunch or a snack, not really big enough to take out for the day. We all struggled with removing the lid – even my big burly husband. Definitely not something my 5 yr old could manage on his own.
And you really had to suck the life out of them to get a mouthful of water – almost like there wasn’t enough air intake in the supper spout.
I find them a perfect size to pop in my handbag, as pictured.
My youngest was a bit under the weather and not really drinking a lot but he was happy with these.
Thanks for having us take part in the trial. We received the apple flavour. My son who is 1.5 took a few times to take to the water which surprised me. After repeated try’s he started to enjoy it and actually get excited to see the bottle. The nozzle was hard for him to open alone. We used the water as a treat with his afternoon snacks. I’d be interested to see how he takes to the other flavours.
We received the apple flavour, which was a hit! Not sure on the nozzle as it seems to retain a little water with each sip which then spurts out when snapped shut. Also my son is 2 and still needed some assistance to open the nozzle. He seemed to enjoy it though not sure if much more than regular water aside from the novelty of the different bottle. It’s really convenient to grab one from the fridge for a quick walk to the park and nice to have some cold fresh water ready in a pinch. We are mostly using them for trips out and about and as a treat at home instead of diluted juice. Would be keen to buy the other flavour/s now too.
We received the apple flavour to trial. The flavour was met with mixed reviews – 5 year old boy absolutely loves it, however 2 year old not keen on the taste. The adult testers were also a bit on the fence with the taste – none loved it but decided it grows on you a bit.
The size of the bottle was great – both for little hands and for handbags! The caps were too hard for either child to get off themselves, although 5 year old could open the sipper part once it had been opened once. The ‘child friendly’ sipper may be great at giving a manageable flow of water, but the small holes do get filled in with would-be floaties 😂 These bottles have been great for 5 year old – after rugby games and as ‘treats’, great to take when we are out and about. 2 year wants them too but wants it to have plain water! I think these will be great to have as both boys have a tendency to dehydrate when ill, and i think the novelty factor of these mini pumps would hwlp encourage them to keep drinking while unwell. In summary, I would buy these again for my 5 year old, and if there was a plain one, or maybe try the pineapple one, for my 2 year old.
We have the opportunity to trial the pineapple Pumped minis, well they were definitely a hit in our household, the kids loved the taste and even considered them a “treat”, ssshhh don’t tell them they are sugar free! My husband and I also tested them and found them quite refreshing, so needless to say the 18bottles went very quickly from our fridge! They were a great size to be able to grab in the run to the park, sport trainings etc too! I would recommend these to others and I’m sure my kids will be choosing these in the future! Thanks Kidspot for the trial opportunity! We added a photo also with a big thumbs up!
Thank you for the opportunity to try the Pineapple flavoured pump water. Firstly we found the cap very hard to get off without adult help, but once it was removed kids were fine. We used some for a birthday party, with lots of yummy treats already on the table we thought the pump water was an excellent choice to provide something yummy without the need of fizzy drinks and all the kids loved the flavour. The bottle size is suited more to a younger age range, mr 9 needs at least 500ml.
We were lucky enough to be selected to trial the Mini Pump Apple flavour. At first taste neither Miss 12 nor Master 10 were that keen. But they both tried it a few times and then got to likely the flavour. I do wonder if the apple flavour could be toned down a little just so it isn’t as strong?
The bottles are the perfect size to take with us to swim and water polo training to keep up the liquid intake. The nozzle is the perfect size as well as if they get knocked over they don’t tend to leak out at a great rate either.
We will be buying them again and will try the Pineapple flavour this time. Thanks Kidspot & Pump!
I have 2 beautiful girls who would love to trial this. My girls love their water! We encourage them everyday to keep hydrated with water/cold milk if their not having a Bottle.
Wow these disappeared quickly in our house. I’ve never seen our two 10yo boys drink so much water! They were constantly asking if they could have another one. As these are sugar free I also felt comfortable giving them to my 2.5yo son. He didn’t skull them back quite so fast as his big brothers but loved that he got to be the same as them. He also struggled to open and close by himself but as there is always someone around when he is eating or drinking this wasn’t a big issue. It’s good to know there is a sugar free option out there when you need to stop and buy a drink but are faced with fridges and fridges of fizzy and other unhealthy options.
Thanks for letting us review this product! We had the Apple flavour. I have to say my two year olds first response was yuck as it was not plain water but she has kept going back for the mini bottle since as they are an appealing size easy to grab & drink for her not getting swamped as she does with the bigger pump bottles. Great they are sugar free I think n perhaps she could taste more of the saltiness to it as I could but I liked the apple flavour! We shared these with some friends with older children around age 5 who loved the apple flavour! Thanks kidspot & pump!
Thanks for allowing us to be part of the product trial. We received the Apple flavour. My two children (9 & 20 months) both loved it, every time we went somewhere they took a bottle of water, it’s a great size for little hands and perfect to keep in my handbag for hydration on the go. It was great to know that they were hydrated, it doesn’t contain any nasties and they liked the taste! Definitely has our vote.
Would love to trial these for my two children
Thanks for the awesome Pump Mini Apple flavour drinks. All four of my children loved them. The boys thought it tasted like green apples (one of their favs) and took theirs to rugby on Saturday. They said the size was too small for when they are playing a game but it is just the right size, for when they are riding their bikes around the neighbourhood. My little 2 year old enjoyed the pump minis and it was a great size for his backpack for playgroup. He liked the great holes on the top and was fascinated with it, when drinking his water. My daughter loved the fact that it is sugar free, but has a nice refreshing taste. She would put hers in the freezer and take it to school the next day in her side pocket for a ‘wake me up drink’ at lunchtime. Thanks for the opportunity to trial this flavoured water, we are now going to try the pineapple flavour next time we are at the supermarket. Are they available in the normal size? Would be great for Winter Sports for a refreshing taste at half time.
