Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bottle safe for my child to take to school every day?
Yes. The THERMOS FUNTAINER is made from BPA-free 18/8 stainless steel with a hygienically covered spout that helps keep germs, dust, and classroom debris off the drinking surface. It is built specifically for daily school use by elementary-aged kids.
Will the carry handle be easy for my 5- or 6-year-old to grip?
The integrated carry handle is designed with a soft-touch grip sized for small hands, so most kids ages 5 and up can comfortably carry the 16 oz bottle between the classroom, cafeteria, and playground without dropping it.
Is the bottle the right size to fit in a standard kids' lunchbox?
At 8.4 inches tall and 16 oz, the FUNTAINER is compact and lightweight, and it is designed to fit in the side pocket of most standard elementary school lunchboxes and backpacks.
Can my child open and close the lid independently at school?
Yes. The push-button flip-top lid is designed for small hands to operate without adult help, so kids can easily open the spout for a drink and close it again between sips.
Will the bottle survive being dropped on the playground?
The double-wall 18/8 stainless steel construction is built to handle everyday drops and dings from active kids. While no bottle is indestructible, the FUNTAINER is significantly more durable than plastic alternatives commonly used by children.
Is this a good water bottle for kindergarten or first grade?
Yes. The 16 oz capacity, lightweight build, soft-touch carry handle, and easy push-button lid make it a popular choice for kindergarten through about age 10, both for school and for after-school activities.
Will my child actually want to use this bottle every day?
Licensed character patterns like Pokemon, Minecraft, Mario, Spiderman, Batman, Sonic, and Stitch make the bottle fun and collectible, which encourages kids to remember and use it instead of forgetting it in their backpack.
Is this a good bottle to pack in my kid's lunchbox?
Yes. The slim 16 oz form factor is sized to fit alongside a lunchbox main compartment or side mesh pocket, and the 12-hour cold retention keeps water refreshing from morning drop-off through the school day.
Can I put ice or cold drinks in this for my child's lunch?
Yes. The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps water and other cold beverages cold for up to 12 hours, and the bottle is designed to handle ice cubes for an extra-cold drink at lunch.
Is this a healthy alternative to plastic water bottles for kids?
Yes. The 18/8 stainless steel interior is BPA-free, does not retain flavors, and is widely recommended by parents as a healthier, longer-lasting replacement for disposable plastic bottles or lower-quality plastic reusable bottles.
How does this compare to a typical plastic kids' water bottle?
Unlike most plastic kids' bottles, the FUNTAINER uses double-wall vacuum insulation to keep water cold for up to 12 hours, stainless steel construction for durability, and a covered spout for hygiene — features rarely found together in plastic bottles.
Is this better than a squeeze-style water bottle for school?
For school-aged kids, many parents prefer the FUNTAINER's flip-top spout and covered design over squeeze bottles, which can leak in backpacks and are harder to clean thoroughly.
How does the FUNTAINER compare to other THERMOS kids' bottles?
The FUNTAINER line is designed for younger kids with a covered spout lid, integrated carry handle, and character graphics, while other THERMOS kids' bottles may use straw lids or different sizes for older children.
Is stainless steel safe for a child who chews on the spout?
Yes. The drinking spout is made from food-safe materials designed for daily use, and the stainless steel body is BPA-free and free of interior plastic coatings that could wear down over time.
Will the outside of the bottle sweat and wet my child's backpack?
No. The double-wall vacuum insulation prevents condensation from forming on the outside, so the bottle will not leave a wet ring in a backpack pocket or lunchbox.
What if my child is rough with the bottle at recess?
The 18/8 stainless steel body and integrated handle are designed for active kids and rough play, and the bottle typically holds up to drops onto playground surfaces far better than plastic alternatives.
How do I clean the THERMOS FUNTAINER water bottle?
Hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended, especially to preserve the character graphics. The bottle is also dishwasher-safe on the top rack for deeper cleaning, and the lid and spout should be fully disassembled and rinsed after each use to prevent residue buildup.
How long does the FUNTAINER keep water cold?
The double-wall vacuum insulation is designed to keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours when the bottle is filled with cold water and kept sealed, so it easily holds ice water from morning drop-off through the end of the school day.
Can I put hot drinks like tea or warm cocoa in this bottle?
The FUNTAINER is designed and tested primarily for cold beverages. While the stainless steel can technically hold warm liquids, hot drinks are not the intended use, and the plastic spout is not designed for high heat, so it is best used for cold water and other chilled drinks.
Does this bottle fit in standard kids' backpack side pockets?
Yes. The 8.4-inch-tall, 16 oz FUNTAINER is designed to fit in the side mesh pocket of most elementary-age backpacks and in the side pocket of standard kids' lunchboxes.
Will this bottle fit in a car cup holder?
The 16 oz FUNTAINER fits in most standard car cup holders and in the built-in cup holders of most strollers, making it convenient for road trips and family outings.
What is included in the box when I buy the FUNTAINER?
Each box includes one 16 oz THERMOS FUNTAINER stainless steel vacuum insulated bottle with the push-button flip-top lid and integrated carry handle. The bottle arrives ready to use — just wash it, fill it, and go.
Is the FUNTAINER bottle leak-proof?
The push-button flip-top lid is designed to stay closed during normal transport, including in a backpack or lunchbox. As with any flip-top bottle, it performs best when kept upright and properly closed.
How long will the bottle last with daily use?
With normal daily use and basic care, the FUNTAINER is built to last multiple school years. The 18/8 stainless steel body resists dents and corrosion, and replacement lids are widely available if needed.
What is the difference between a stainless steel water bottle and a plastic water bottle for kids?
A stainless steel bottle like the FUNTAINER uses double-wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours, does not contain BPA, and is far more durable than plastic. Plastic bottles typically lack real insulation, can crack or warp, and may retain flavors or odors over time.
