thanks for let my review my daughter who is 2 loves it. its so good to see her enjoying and drinking more water and just the right size to take with us when we are out or in the car even just around when having lunch and on the go thank you so much
would love these for my son! such great size bottles for taking out and about! plus the no sugar is such a great thing
I would love to try this for my son! Lincoln ( 2 ) loves his water so why not give him some with a splash of flavour, he will love it!
Love the size of the bottles perfect for little hands and bags and lunch boxes. Caps are hard to open but I’m not complaining because the don’t flick open and drip water everywhere.
Miss 5 thought they were great flavour. Plenty strong enough to feel like a treat. Although she said she would still choose berry over pineapple if given a choice.
Mr 3 liked the flavour but he said ‘I like the colourful flavours’ if it’s a treat (which he never gets but obviously lives in hope).
Overall I think they would definitely choose again, but berry remains the top flavour for Miss 5 and Mr 3 loved the flavour but just desperately wants a colour.
Thank you so much for letting our family review the pump mini, Mr 3 absolutely loved the size of the bottle perfect for lunch boxes and he loved how it tasted just like pineapple. Will definitely be wanting to the try the other flavour 😊 So good being able to let him have a tasty drink that doesn’t have tablespoons of sugar
Thank you for sending us a box of pump pineapple flavoured drinks to try. They’re a big thumbs up from this household. Perfect for small hands. These will be on the list when we go away as a treat.
Thank you kidspot for the opportunity to trial & review the Pumped Minis pineapple flavored water. At the time of receiving the product we had a large kids birthday party that we were hosting with kids age ranges from age 1 to age 12. I chose to serve the Pumped minis as a healthy drink option & certainly a lot of parents commented how nice it was to see calm children by the end of the party which are not over hyped by sugary drinks. The bottles are a great size but unfortunately quite difficult to open the outside cap as even some adults struggled. Even the inner nozzle was a bit difficult for some of the younger kids to open too including my Master 3 year old who would often ask for me to open it for him. With regards to the flavour -unfortunately it was a hit & miss, while my master 3 yr old liked several children were not as keen on the pineapple flavour & upon further taste test I figured it may be possibly due to its tangy taste, even though it was mild. I certainly would purchase this product again on special occasions & recommend it to others as it did serve to be a great treat for birthday parties and these are great for when going away or as an alternative to juice boxes when my kids start school in a few years. For now however we shall stick with plain water as it is equally a hit at our house.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the pump mini water, we were lucky enough to receive the apple flavour. They’re the perfect size for little hands. Miss 6 didn’t really like the taste but Mr 5 and miss 3 really enjoyed then. Mummy also enjoyed 2 or 3 bottles as its really delicious. I found the nozzles easy enough for the kids to open and close themselves. I would definitely buy these again, they’d be perfect for a treat at my children’s birthday parties or if we are out and about. I would also happily purchase the bigger bottle of pump in the apple flavour as I really enjoyed the water!!
These would be perfect when the family ate out for a dry and needing a drink stop. No sugar is a big plus for me.
Sorry I didn’t spellcheck it before posting.
My son absolutely love the pineapple flavour, he keeps calling it “juice” but the nozzle is so hard to pull up and push down for my nearly 2 year old. Pump mini flavoured water is definitely an alternative to actual sugary fruit juice and a good way of trick to get my son drink more water.
We received the Apple flavor. Our kids where divided on the taste! The 2 youngest liked them. Great size for little hands and fits into a lunchbox well. We all loved the nozzle. Must say that we still have bottle left as they kids still prefer normal water, however I am sure there are some out there that do not and this may be a healthier option to fruit juice and fizzy.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Thanks for the opportunity to review the Pumped Minis, we received the Pineapple flavour, it was a very popular flavour in our house with all 5 kids really enjoying it, it is a subtle flavour but nice, not overpowering. The size of the bottle is great, a perfect serving size for kids, good for school bags and for in the car, the actual bottle is fantastic for little hands! The smaller kids had a little trouble with the caps but managed with some assistance.
I would purchase these and use them for car trips and to pop in with school lunches.
Thank you for letting us review the pump Mini’s.
We received the apple flavour, first impressions where the size was perfect for little hands, the first lid was very difficult to open though, miss 5 didn’t really like the flavour but miss 10 loved it. A good alternative to plain water, but my girls do prefer the plain.
Great size for putting in the lunch box and as a added bonus to keep everything cool. Would probably not buy again unless for a treat.
Have kept the bottles and now my kids fill them for their everyday bottle.
We received the pump pineapple flavour, these are the perfect size for little hands but do take some effort for them to open them. My kids preferred their drink chilled rather than at room temperature.It was a nice treat and the pineapple flavour was very quite mild also. My kids were excited to be part of this trial but still prefer to drink just water.
Thank you for choosing our family to review the new Pumped mini. We received the pineapple flavour and the box arrived at the perfect time for us to use them in the car while on our road trip down to the Taranaki to see our family. Between all of our kids (and the adults sneaking a few) the box was completely finished…I guess that’s our way of saying we really enjoyed pumped mini!
We received the pineapple pumped mini and as exciting as it was to recieve these Only 1 of my 3 children liked them! We don’t have fizzy or juice regularly so we kept them for treats, weekend outings and shared with friends at a picnic. I would buy again for Mr 9 who enjoyed it but stick with water for the other 2 🙂
We loved being able to try the new Pumped Mini, pineapple flavour. Mr 5 & Miss 2 were super excited to show everyone their cool new bottles. They tried the water both room temperature and cold, and were definitely bigger fans of it when it was cold straight from the fridge. The bottles were a good size to carry around and throw in a bag, however they were too hard for Miss 2 to open. My two definitely prefer plain water, but it was nice to try something different.
Thanku for choose us to review the mini pumps. We got pineapple flavour which my wee boy loved. It was a great size for my wee boy to hold and drink. Only thing is the tops of the bottle was quite hard to get off but other than that great product.
Thank you for choosing my family to trial the new Pumped Mini. We received a box of the pineapple flavour which was a big hit with Master 10, Miss 8 and Master 2.
We found them a perfect, convenient size for lunchboxes, taking to the park and to the pools. They were a perfect size and even my two year old found the nozzle easy to pop up and drink out of. Far easier than other drink bottles we’ve tried in the past.
Overall, my kids really loved the Pumped Mini and are keen to try other flavours. We would definitely recommend them to families with young children!
Thank you for the chance to review these. I was lucky enough to get the pineapple flavoured ones but my friend got the apple so we traded half each so the kids got to try both.
Kids didn’t love the flavour found it a bit to sour I think. Bit hard to get lid off but great easy convenient bottles.
My two children loved the Pineapple flavoured Pump Mini. They only drink water so to them, these drinks were a very special treat. We liked the fact that there was no added sugar. We would probably purchase in the future as a treat. The size was perfect for little hands and for taking out and about on outings. Thanks for the opportunity to trial this product.
Thanks for letting us be a part of your trial, we received the apple flavoured water. 3 of my children tried it aged 9, 5 & 2. The 9 year old didn’t like it at all, the other 2 drunk it but weren’t that keen on it. The bottle was a great size, easy to take out and about, although my kids are pretty big drinkers so had to refill the bottle a few times. I didnt find it very kid friendly to open even the cap was hard to get off the bottle. We would not purchase this product as my kids would prefer to just drink standard water.
Thank you for the trial of these drinks we received pineapple to review. 3 out of my 4 kids did not like this flavour but my 10 yr old loved it has been drinking it lots chucking it in school bag in the weekend on big walks/ bike rides great size to carry in a bag without making yr bag heavy .my younger one had difficulty opening it , older ones were fine with it . The size is fantastic for little kids I really like the no sugar etc although majority of mine did not like pineapple I will buy the apple for them to try .
I was very excited to trial this product as both my daughters (aged 5 and 2) love juice especially in little sipper bottles. We received the pineapple flavour pump mini and unfortunately my daughters weren’t keen. They’ve previously enjoyed pump flavoured waters (750ml adult version) so I was surprised. However once tried it I realized the pineapple flavour was too tangy and sour for kids. I shared the sample with my nephews who are 5 and 1 and neither of them liked it either. I love the concept and hope Pump keep trying to find a great flavor!
We got the apple 🍏 flavour of this water & we shared it with my younger siblings. My 2 yr old son had no interest at all after 1 sip, he loves plain water not flavoured. He did enjoy the challenge of the sippy spout though & wanted plain water in the bottle to navigate & explore the spout which he enjoyed. My 10 yr old sister enjoyed it but only drank the one. My 13 yr old brother couldn’t get enough of them! I had to cut him off at one stage. He liked the flavour but said it was too weak, after I explained that’s how it was supposed to be I think he liked it more. I wouldn’t choose to buy these for my son, I would definitely prefer plain water.
We received the apple flavoured product. In short, I would never buy this product for my children. The bottles are very difficult to open, Mstr 9, Miss 7 and Mr 71 couldn’t do it when they first tried. The inside one is also a bit difficult to open and shut. Miss 7 was really excited to get it, but after only one taste she said didn’t like it and refused to try it again despite encouragement. Mstr 9 who really likes apple juice was OK drinking it but said it left a bitter after taste. Mr 71 thought it was OK but not his preferred. I would never choose to drink it over plain water. I also do not understand why someone would pay for this over water from the tap. Maybe the pineapple one tastes better.
The children have now tried the pineapple flavoured Pumped. They all tolerated it but only our two 10year olds thought it was any good and that they would like it again. I still don’t think I would probably purchase it.
We were lucky enough to review the pumped mini pineapple flavoured water. Miss 5 was not a huge fan as she likes plain tastes. However miss 2 loved it. This was quite weird to me asiss 5 is the sweet tooth and miss 2 isn’t usually. They are the perfect size to put in kindy/school bags, cup holders on the car seats and fit nicely in the door of the fridge. The cap is quite restrictive in the flow it releases but that isn’t so bad with my little guzzle guts. They were also good because the girls thought they were having juice/fizzy which they are only allowed on special occasions so this was exciting for them. I probably wouldn’t buy them as an alternative to plain water, as my kids prefer water but would definitely get them for miss 2 as an alternative to fizzy or juice.
We received the pineapple flavoured pump bottles. My 4 children aged 14, 12, 9 and 3 all loved the flavour. They found the bottles easy to use, even the 3 year old could use the lid fine. We used them in a variety of situations, home, out at the park and beach. They are great for any situation and because they aren’t full of a whole lot of sugar I didn’t feel bad about letting them drink them. They felt like a treat, but one that was good for them! They are a great size too, not too big or small.
Our family would highly recommend this product to others and will use them again in the future I’m sure!
Thank you for letting us trial this. We got the pineapple flavour. They went down a treat with my nearly 2 year old but my teenager didnt like the taste (he said he prefers plain water). My toddler is getting a bit fusy with plain water so i found with this he was happy to drink the water but without the added sugars etc which is perfect. The lid was too hard for my toddler to open by himself but easy for him to drink out of when open. Size was perfect for those walks to the park and outings we went on.
