Shop baby water bottles, straw cups and kids drink bottles for mealtimes, daycare, preschool and family outings. Lupipop’s range includes compact baby cups, handled straw bottles, insulated stainless steel styles and larger kids water bottles from Grosmimi, Richell, Marcus & Marcus, Monbento and Trixie.
Compare the recommended age, capacity, drinking style, material and care instructions before ordering. Features differ between products, so check the individual listing to confirm whether a bottle is insulated, dishwasher-safe, leak-resistant or supplied with replacement parts. Lupipop currently lists 16 products across five brands, with capacities ranging from compact 200ml cups to 500ml water bottles.
Baby Straw Cups and Kids Drink Bottles
The right drinking product depends on your child’s stage and how the bottle will be used.
A smaller baby straw cup may suit supervised drinks with meals, while a larger kids water bottle may be more practical for childcare, preschool or days out. Some children prefer side handles, while older children may find a slim bottle or flip-top lid easier to carry.
Lupipop’s current range includes:
- Baby straw cups
- Sippy and training cups
- Clear straw bottles
- Stainless steel straw cups
- Insulated kids bottles
- Standard kids drink bottles
- Replacement straws
- Bottle straps and accessories
This collection is mainly intended for water cups and portable drink bottles. It is different from a milk-feeding bottle collection.
Choose the Right Water Bottle for Your Child
Baby Straw and Training Cups
Baby straw cups and trainer cups are made for children who are starting to practise drinking from something other than a feeding bottle or breast.
A suitable beginner cup may include:
- A smaller capacity
- Handles or a contoured body
- A soft straw or spout
- A lid that covers the drinking section
- Parts that can be taken apart for cleaning
Do not select a product only because it contains “baby” in the title. Check the manufacturer’s recommended age and make sure your child can sit and drink with direct adult supervision.
Many parents search for a baby water bottle for a six-month-old. Around this stage, some babies begin practising small sips of water with food, but readiness differs. Choose only a cup whose manufacturer permits use at your child’s age and seek advice from a child health professional when needed.
Breast milk or infant formula should not be placed in a water bottle unless the product manufacturer expressly permits that use.
Toddler Water Bottles
A toddler water bottle usually sits between a small training cup and a full-sized school bottle.
Useful features can include:
- A 200–350ml capacity
- A straw or easy-open drinking lid
- A bottle shape that is manageable for smaller hands
- A protective cap
- Replaceable straw or valve parts
- A carry handle or strap
The Grosmimi collection includes compact straw cups designed around smaller capacities, while Richell products in this collection include 200ml straw and sippy-cup options. Current availability should always be checked on the individual product page.
Kids Water Bottles
Older toddlers and children may need a larger kids water bottle for childcare, preschool, outings or lunch bags.
The Lupipop range includes 350ml, 360ml, 450ml and 500ml bottles. Larger capacity can reduce the need for refilling, but it also increases the bottle’s filled weight.
Before buying, check:
- Whether the bottle fits your child’s bag or lunch bag.
- Whether your child can open and close the lid.
- The total weight when filled.
- Whether the straw, valve and seal can be removed for cleaning.
- Whether replacement parts are available.
- Whether the bottle is intended only for cold drinks.

Compare Water Bottle Materials
Stainless Steel Bottles
Stainless steel bottles are often chosen for durability and, on insulated models, their ability to help maintain drink temperature.
Do not place hot liquid in a child’s straw bottle unless the manufacturer expressly says that it is suitable.
Tritan and Clear Bottles
Tritan and other clear bottles can be lighter than many stainless steel alternatives and allow parents to see how much water remains.
Check the exact material rather than describing every clear bottle simply as plastic. The collection includes a Marcus & Marcus Tritan straw bottle and Thermos competitors similarly offer smaller Tritan baby drink bottles.
Stainless steel and Tritan are not automatically better or worse than one another. The more suitable option depends on age guidance, weight, cleaning, insulation and daily use.
What Capacity Should You Choose?
The current Lupipop range covers several practical sizes:
| Capacity | Common use |
|---|---|
| 200ml | Smaller baby or toddler straw cups |
| 300ml | Compact toddler bottle or straw cup |
| 350–360ml | Childcare, preschool or shorter outings |
| 450–500ml | Older children, longer outings or school use |
These are general shopping categories, not strict age rules.
A larger bottle is not always more practical. Once filled, it may be too heavy for a younger child or too large for a lunch bag pocket.
Leak Resistance, Cleaning and Replacement Parts
“Leak-proof” should not be used as a collection-wide promise.
Even a well-sealed bottle can leak when:
- A straw or valve is inserted incorrectly.
- A silicone seal is missing.
- The lid is not fully closed.
- Parts are worn or damaged.
- The bottle is stored sideways contrary to its instructions.
- The product is filled with an unsuitable liquid.
Use leak-resistant when correctly assembled unless the manufacturer makes a stronger verified claim for that product.
Cleaning a Straw Bottle
Follow the product care instructions. A general cleaning routine is:
- Separate the bottle, lid, straw, valve and seals.
- Rinse soon after use.
- Wash every reachable surface.
- Use a narrow brush for the straw where required.
- Check valves and seals for trapped residue.
- Allow every part to dry fully before reassembly.
- Replace split, discoloured or worn components.
Do not describe the whole range as dishwasher-safe. Check whether the bottle body, lid and small parts have different care instructions.
Lupipop currently stocks a Richell replacement straw and a Marcus & Marcus bottle strap. These should be grouped under Bottle Accessories and displayed after complete bottles.

FAQs
What water bottle is suitable for a six-month-old?
Choose only a straw, sippy or trainer cup whose manufacturer lists it as suitable for that age. Look for a manageable capacity, simple drinking mechanism and parts that can be thoroughly cleaned. Keep the baby upright and directly supervised.
Is a straw cup or sippy cup better?
Neither type is right for every child. Some children take more easily to a straw, while others begin with a soft spout or trainer cup. Product age guidance, drinking ability, ease of cleaning and your child’s preference all matter.
Can I put milk in a baby water bottle?
Only put milk in the product when the manufacturer permits it and provides suitable cleaning guidance. Milk residue can remain in straws, valves and seals if the product is not dismantled and cleaned properly.
Can insulated kids bottles hold hot drinks?
Do not place hot liquid in a child’s bottle unless the exact product instructions permit it. Many straw bottles are designed for cold drinks only.
What size water bottle should a toddler use?
A 200–350ml bottle can be easier for many toddlers to hold, while larger capacities may suit older or more independent children. Check the filled weight, dimensions and your child’s ability to handle the lid.
How often should bottle straws be replaced?
Replace a straw or valve when it is split, damaged, heavily discoloured, difficult to clean or no longer seals properly. Follow the manufacturer’s replacement advice.
