The Fresk company's water bottle is made of stainless material that does not break or rust over time. Due to its material, it is not affected by acidic drinks such as fruit juices, unlike aluminum. Additionally, it is also a thermos, which has the property of maintaining the liquid's temperature for a long time, for example, in the summer at the beach. It also comes with a straw for easy and controlled flow when the child drinks.

It is the second one I buy from the same company. While it is excellent in terms of keeping the water cool for many hours and not leaking, it is not user-friendly due to the flimsy handle on the straw, which breaks as soon as it falls down. And then it is very difficult to open. It fell and broke within two weeks. You pay so much money, but there are no replacement parts available for the lid.
With the first drop, the plastic earpiece from which you pull out the spout broke. Within two months, the spout had become crushed, like poor quality plastic. Within three months, the straw also broke.
Very poor construction and no durability - especially considering that it is a product for small children, so it should withstand more.
While it was beautiful and keeps the child's water at a good temperature in the summer, it is a bit difficult to open at first. Over time, the little one learned how to do it, and fortunately, there were no problems after that. However, over time, the point where you pull to open it broke, and I can't find replacement parts. Also, the quality of the spout has deteriorated quite a bit, so we no longer use it to avoid microplastics, etc.
This specific water bottle is excellent. It maintains the temperature unchanged and has incredible resistance to falls/hits. The purchase of this particular one was made in 2020 and as you can see in the photos, it only has some external scratches, justified by 4 years of use. From other comments, I see that there were many water bottles that quickly broke their "ear" on the mouthpiece. I simply assume that there was a batch of defective water bottles after a certain date.
Unfortunately, within a few days, the transparent handle of the straw broke. Without the handle, a small child cannot open and drink water from the bottle on their own. The bottle cannot be used without the handle. It is not worth its money.
While as a thermos it is good and keeps the temperature of its contents for hours, the little handle that opens the child's mouth breaks very easily, making it unusable. For its price, it is unacceptable and the spare parts are hard to find. Also, the colored coating wears off quite easily, but it does not affect its proper functioning and you can overlook it.
This particular water bottle comes with a very bad characteristic. That is its lid. It includes 2 lids, one with a straw intended for toddlers and one with a screw-on lid intended for older children.
As for the lid with the straw, it is truly useless. The upper plastic part breaks very easily and needs to be replaced. The child chews on it and it easily gets damaged, requiring replacement again. If the child doesn't close it tightly, it leaks and everything gets wet. Even if it is closed tightly, the straw gets lost and the lid needs to be replaced again (of course, you realize this after everything has gotten wet again).
In a friendly couple, they had bought 4-5 water bottles like this. At some point, they bought spare lids. However, the cost still doesn't make it worthwhile. You need 5 euros plus shipping, quite often. And still, the leakage problem is not solved.
Also, the water bottle is 350ml, so it doesn't make sense for a larger child. In that case, the 500ml Chilly's water bottle is better.
It is not particularly insulating, nor in terms of construction quality. It has 2 good things: 1) It is very beautiful and 2) It is easy to clean.
If you don't mind compromising with the leaks, make sure to get 3-4 spare lids at the first mishap - which won't take long to happen - to do your job. That way, you've spent €50. But okay, you will have a beautiful water bottle for your child. It will also be Fresk.
It keeps the water so cold for so many hours that any disadvantage doesn't matter to me. I happened to forget it in the car with scorching heat outside and the water was still very cold!!!!
We have 3 of these Fresk bottles and they are amazing! They keep drinks and water cool for many hours and are very durable for little hands. We have been using them for 2 years at kindergarten and even though they have been dropped and knocked over, they haven't suffered any damage! No leaks.. okay maybe a dent here and there but that's to be expected from a stainless steel bottle.. if they were plastic, they would have been destroyed. We would love more designs though!!!!
Very good for temperature preservation, but as others have said, the plastic from the straw broke on the first drop. Also, the bottom from the outside started peeling off.
We bought this bottle for our little one (15 months old) for the baby stage. It could have been a little lighter, but he uses it and likes it. I have to lift the straw for him because he can't open it himself (which is logical). It doesn't retain odors, it's perfect overall, and you can also use it as a thermos for milk or water since it comes with an extra screw-on lid. The only downside for me is that when it falls or is thrown down, it can dent on the outside because it's made of metal (although it doesn't affect its use).
Good quality, durable, convenient. The lid does not secure and can easily start leaking in the bag. There is no replacement for the broken straw piece and it almost swallowed it.
After 2 months of summer use:
Quality product. Good plastic and heat-resistant material. Keeps liquids cool for hours even in extreme heat conditions. It is a bit heavy for small children and requires caution not to drop it.
In the positives, it has a nice appearance and doesn't leak. In the negatives, as soon as it fell from the child's hands, the "ear" that opens the straw broke, rendering it useless!! Quite expensive to break with the FIRST fall!!!
The best water bottle I have ever bought! It doesn't retain odors, it's very durable, and it keeps the water cool all day. Also, it doesn't leak at all.
