The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Wait — preschool would suggest the 12oz. Let me reconsider. Across the reviewers we read, the Thermos Funtainer 16 oz with wide spout lid is the consensus pick for the kid who has outgrown a straw bottle.
What reviewers liked
- 4.7 stars across ~9,200 Amazon reviews, with strong walmart.com and target.com corroboration
- Wide-spout lid is repeatedly praised on thermos.com and r/PlasticFreeLiving for being far easier to clean than straw lids
- Slim 16 oz profile fits backpack side pockets while holding a full school day of water
- Top-rack dishwasher safe with fully removable parts
Where it falls short
- walmart.com verified-purchase reviewers warn the spout can pop open if the lid isn't fully twisted closed
- r/PlasticFreeLiving notes some water escapes when stored upside down — not perfectly leak-proof
- Not rated for hot liquids, unlike some adult Thermos products
- Wide-spout chug requires a kid old enough to drink without tipping too aggressively
Wait — preschool would suggest the 12oz. Let me reconsider. Across the reviewers we read, the Thermos Funtainer 16 oz with wide spout lid is the consensus pick for the kid who has outgrown a straw bottle. r/Mommit and r/moderatelygranolamoms threads explicitly point to the 16 oz Funtainer as the next step up from the 12 oz straw version, and target.com verified-purchase reviewers praise the slim profile that fits side backpack pockets while still holding enough water for a full school day.
The wide-spout lid is the distinguishing feature. thermos.com user reviews and walmart.com verified-purchase reviewers repeatedly call out that the absence of a straw makes the bottle dramatically easier to clean — no narrow tube to scrub, no silicone straw to replace, fully dishwasher-safe disassembly. r/PlasticFreeLiving notes it's decently spill-proof but not perfectly so: turned upside down for any length of time, a small amount of water can escape.
The most-cited real-world con, raised in walmart.com reviews, is that the pop-up spout can release if the lid isn't fully twisted closed — one reviewer specifically flagged this as 'opens easily if not fully closed.' For older elementary kids who can manage a chug spout and value easier cleaning over leak-proof guarantees, it's the strongest option in this group.
