Finding a water bottle a toddler will actually claim as their own - and not leave behind at childcare - takes more thought than it should. The Skip Hop Besties Squad Elephant Tritan Renew Straw Bottle earns that claim with an elephant character face that gives kids genuine ownership, while the grown-up thinking is in the construction: 50% certified recycled Tritan Renew plastic, a flip-down straw seal that protects the drinking end between uses, a grab strap sized for small hands, and 350mls of capacity right for ages 12 months and up. Planet-conscious choice for the parent; the bottle they choose themselves for the child.
What Tritan Renew means for a water bottle worth choosing
The bottle body is made from Tritan Renew plastic - 50% certified recycled content through Eastman's molecular recycling technology, which diverts single-use plastic waste from landfill without compromising on the clarity, lightweight durability, and stain resistance that Tritan is known for. This is a meaningful planet-friendlier choice for everyday use, not a greenwashed label. BPA-free and dishwasher-safe on the top rack, it's a bottle built for the daily rotation.

Why the flip-down straw seal is the detail parents notice first
The straw on the Besties Squad bottle flips down to cover the drinking end when not in use - no loose cap to lose, no exposed straw collecting germs in a bag pocket. When your child is ready to drink, the straw flips up and is ready. It's the kind of small, well-thought-through detail that distinguishes a bottle that stays in the rotation from one that gets replaced after a month. The grab strap means children can carry it independently from the time they can walk, which matters for drop-off and pick-up without a parent carrying everything.

About Skip Hop
Skip Hop is a New York-based brand built on one idea: everyday products for families that are better designed than the default options. Founded in 2003, their drinkware range is built around the actual challenges of keeping children hydrated throughout the day - character-led designs that give children ownership, materials that hold up to daily use and dishwasher cycles, and details like the flip-down straw seal that solve real problems. The Besties Squad collection applies that thinking to a complete matched set a child can call their own. Skip Hop products are sold at Peekaboo Baby because they reliably do what they say.

Why Parents Choose the Besties Squad Tritan Renew Straw Bottle
The Besties Squad Elephant Tritan Renew Straw Bottle earns daily use because it combines the two things that matter most in a toddler water bottle: a character design that makes a child want to carry it, and construction quality that justifies the choice. Tritan Renew plastic - 50% certified recycled content - means the environmental credential is real, not a label. The flip-down straw seal means the drinking end is protected. The grab strap means independent carrying from 12 months. 350mls is the right capacity for a toddler's daily hydration. It goes in the dishwasher and comes back ready for the next day. That's the whole argument.
Tritan Renew is a plastic made with 50% certified recycled content, produced through Eastman's molecular recycling technology. It diverts single-use plastic waste from landfill while maintaining the clarity, lightweight durability, and stain resistance of standard Tritan. It is BPA-free and performs identically to virgin plastic in everyday use.
The straw flips down to cover and seal the drinking end when the bottle is not in use. This keeps the straw clean and protected between drinks. When your child needs to drink, the straw flips back up and is ready to use. There is no separate cap to lose.
Yes, on the top rack only. Disassemble the bottle before placing in the dishwasher. Do not freeze, microwave, or boil. Hand washing in warm soapy water is also suitable.
