I would love to try these with my 4 year old and 2 year old as they are rather fussy about drinking water and always request juice so I think this could be a much better alternative
Thank you. My miss 3 loved these and so did I haha. The only thing now is that she wants more and we can’t find them in countdown or at least not in bulk. Where can we find them? They are the perfect lunch box size and so refreshing. Wish we had more.
We took our box of drinks away camping so had a lot of kids try, most of them liked it especially my little one as he doesn’t drink too much sweet stuff so this was a treat for him and I was more than happy for him to drink with being a lot more healthy than others out there. I thought it tasted pretty good too, would live to see a lime or lemon flavour for the kids.
We would love to try this with my little one. He loves flavoured water not so much normal water. This would be perfect size for him.
The kids (11 & 14) were very excited to see these and certainly liked the little bottles. I wasn’t so keen – more plastic into the world – pity there’s not some way to create a better product. We had the pineapple and the kids really weren’t keen on it – interested to see that others felt it needed to be really cold to make it better. I didn’t mind the taste too much. Thanks for letting us try it but this time it’s not something I would buy again.
Thank you kidspot and pump mini for choosing us to trial these cuties. Master 6 and Miss 9 had a bit of trouble opening the cap on the bottle and at first they didnt like the apple flavour much but still drank the water. We also recently had a birthday party for master 6 so the pack of bottles came in handy. The kids needed help to open them but they all disappeared. We would definately be buying these again.
Hi
Would love to give these a try with my wee niece. We are a very active family and always on the go
Thank you
Thanks so much for letting our family review the pineapple pumps!
They werent a hit with our 2 year old (he is however really fussy). But miss 8 liked them which we were surprised by. All though she needed them really chilled otherwise said the flavour of pineapple was to strong. We would purchase again for sure and will be keeping a eye out for the apple ones to give a try. The bottle was perfect for little hands however even my 8 year old had trouble removing the cap. Over all happy with the product and would give a 8/10
My daughter loves drinking pump, can’t wait to try and see if she will enjoy the flavoured water as well
Thank you so much for the opportunity to review th new pump water for kids
My daughter loved the flavour (as did I) was a nice change from straight water without too much sugar
One thing we struggled with were the lids
Even I needed my teeth to pry them off
Other than that we enjoyed and was super handy for car trips and taking about will definitely be buying them
Again thank you
Unfortunately it hasn’t been taken to by our 2.5 year old. We received the pineapple flavour. Our girl wasn’t able to remove the lid without assistance and unfortunately as the lid isn’t permanently attached, it means the sipper portion is suseptable to contamination (i.e. flies!). The flavour wasn’t liked, in fact, our girl would ask for the pineapple water to be tipped out and replaced with regular water. The bottle can be held easily though, which is good! We shared with an 8 year old cousin and a 3 year old peer, and neither were particularly impressed with the flavour. Thanks so much for allowing the opportunity to review.
We received the pineapple flavor to try, and miss 3 and 4 were very excited about the small funky looking bottle. Whilst they both said they enjoyed it, it did take them a while to drink. They are the perfect size for small people and will be handy when we go out and about. I tried a bit but wasn’t that fussed on the taste but they seemed to enjoy so that’s the main thing. As a parent you always try to get your children to drink more water and healthier opinions so this in my eyes is a win. My only gripe would be that who ever designed the caps need to work on their design, quite hard to get off for an adult, and next to impossible for a child (though maybe they are designed that way to avoid smaller children getting them off and putting them in their mouths perhaps?). Once the caps have been removed my two seemed to be able to pull the nozzle up to drink without issue. Would I buy again? Maybe when out and about and have been caught short without the kids water bottles, as it’s one of the better opinions out there, and I know the drink won’t go to waste as it’s small enough for a preschooler. Over all it seemed to be a hit with my two and they have asked for their special water to drink over the past few days, so that’s a win if they are drinking more water in my eyes.
I have a 16month old, who loves drinking water and a 4 1/2 year old, who always needs to be reminded drinking more water. I think there flavoured water without sugar would be perfect for both of them. Would love to try.
My teen age son and me will love to try these cute pump mini hydration water. He is a gym crazy boy and I am so addicted to water to keep my self well hydrated
I have 3 kids aged 1, 3 ,6 none of them will happily drink water. I really want to give these pumped minis a go as no sugar and means they would be getting water into them hopefully with great taste 🙂
Hi, thank you for giving us the opportunity to review this product. I found the size of the bottles really handy but the caps were a bit hard to open. We received the pineapple flavour. Both my 2 and 5 year old enjoyed the water but they found it a bit too sweet and weren’t able to finish the whole bottle in one day. The design on the bottle was funky too and it makes you want to pick up a bottle.
I’d love to trial these for my daughter and nieces and nephews. It looks like a much healthier option rather than juice/fizz! And if my daughter likes them i can stock up on them for her 😊
Thanks so much for allowing our family to review the product – it gets a big thumbs up from us. We received the pineapple flavour and just in time for easter so we were able to share with many children aged from 1-10. The older hildren really liked the flavour and were able to open woth ase, the younger ones struggled to open the sipper once the cap was removed and the flavour was a bit strong for them. Everyone managed yo hold the bottle with ease and i was impressed that when tipped over by accident, very little actually leaked out the sippy cap. Overall, its a go to for me when we are out and about and the kids need a drink. Thanks so much
Mr 4 was excited to get a box of pineapple drinks to try, initially he wasn’t so keen on the flavour but I think it grew on him as he made his way through the box. I really liked the size of these as they fitted easily in his hand and into his cup holder on his carseat.
Unfortunately the lids were not easily opened and he had to be helped with each bottle which took away some of the excitement of independence he thought he had with these bottles, not sure if I would buy these for him.
I have a 3 & 16yr old, both are big water drinkers and would love a change in flavour that isn’t chlorinated.
Kids are 6 and 3 perfect for after school activities. Kids only drink water.
My kids are 7, 5 and 1. The big kids would love to try these. They don’t have fizz or juice so this would be a nice taste for them when out and about on adventures.
I really struggle to get my son to drink water, but its even harder when we are out and about. We would love to try pumped mini to encourage our little dude to drink a bit more water
My kids are 6,3,1 and they are having a zero sugar drinks at school this would be awesome to try
Thanks so much for picking usto try pump mini !we were sent the apple flavour
Loved the size of the bottles
It smelt really sweet almost like those chewey apple lollies however it had quite a sour kick to it 4 out of our 5 kids didnt kike it but 1 did we also handed ghem out to 8 of our friends kids at a bbq snd asked them what they thought 3 liked it 5 didnt, snd i liked it but hubby didnt so mixed reviews from us i am going to buy the pineapple to try tho
Thanks so much for allowing us to product test these. We received the pineapple flavour. We loved the size of the bottles and they were the right length to even put in our mini drinks fridge. The caps were a bit hard to remove although it did mean that it made it less likely to leak which would be more of a positive if travelling with them in your handbag etc. My 8-year-old found it the most favourable and it is often hard to get her drinking enough water so that was a bonus. The teen and 2 adults in our household felt that maybe it needed a bit more strength and would be keen to try other flavours. One recommendation I would make would be to consider putting a touch of stevia or another natural sweetener like Natvia into it, to soften and enhance the flavour a little.
Unfortunately even putting the drinks in the freezer in the hope that my son would like it didn’t help. As he didnt like the drink at room temperature nor cold we won’t be purchasing the product in the future. We received the pineapple flavoured ones, which is one of his favourite fruitsso it’s a shame it didn’t work out.
Thank you for allowing us to try the pump minis. We received pineapple flavour. Great size and convenient to carry even for kids. However both of my children didn’t like it and us adults didn’t either. Maybe apple might be more favourable. We would be keen to buy and try apple but wouldn’t buy pineapple.
These would be great to keep the little one hydrated!
My boys aged 5, 8 and 11 would love to give these a try! It would be nice to try something for a treat drink that has less sugar than fizzies.
Hi, we would love to try these!
