YETI Rambler 18 oz Bottle, Vacuum Insulated, Stainless Steel with Straw Cap, Navy

I recently got this water bottle, and I have to say, it’s a great investment, especially for my son who uses it for school. It keeps his water ice cold throughout the day, which is perfect for staying hydrated. The size is just right—large enough to last him through his school hours but not too bulky for his little hands and is a great size for adults too! Win-win!The colors are vibrant and fun, making it a hit with him. While the price might seem a little high compared to some options out there, I truly believe it’s worth it. It’s built tough enough to withstand the wear and tear from a 5-year-old and still looks great. Plus, it’s easy to clean, which is a huge bonus. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase—it’s durable, functional, and definitely worth the price!

Each of my kids have 2 of these for school. They’re easy are the perfect size, easy for them to open and refill but also don’t leak. They’re easy keep water cold all day or in the hot car for long periods of time. The colors are vibrant. We’ve dropped them loads and they don’t show the dings other brands do. Will definitely buy more since they a good price since we know they last and are durable.

Survived multiple drops. Stayed cool in our car in Tucson registering 115 degrees.Doesn't leak.I love the retractable straw drinking method. I previously purchased another "trendier" water bottle.but I like the Yeti better because of the leak resistance and retractable straw

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Yeti’s reputation Functionality:Ideal for traveling in our carCapacity:18 oz is the perfect sizeWater retention:Our water stays colder than any insulated water body that we have tried.

We ordered a Hydro Flask bottle, a Takeya Actives bottles, and the Yeti Rambler bottle as a trial for next school year’s water bottle purchases. Our results were as follows:Last place- Takeya Actives. Damaged so easily in shipping despite a replacement (also damaged) that we didn’t even try it. Cheapest one we tried, and it shows.Second place- Hydro Flask. It was dinged and scraped through the coating on the first use by my kid while hanging out indoors (not an intense usage). Still usable, but a bit bummed that it doesn’t seem to be super durable. It comes with an extra straw and it’s easy to clean- dishwasher safe is a must in our house! I haven’t noticed any leaking when properly closed and tipped over, seems solidly sealed when closed. Ice didn’t stay the whole day, but water was still somewhat cool at the end of the day. Middle of the road in cost for our comparisons. I like the silicone boot a lot, definitely makes it quieter (a plus in the classroom)!First place- Yeti Rambler. This one has been used the most and still looks brand new. Also comes with an extra straw, dishwasher safe and easy to clean, and kept ice in it all day. Easy for our kid to open and use. Haven’t seen any leaking! The only downsides that I find are that it is a bit wide for car seat cup holders (tends to pull them off with size or weight), it’s a bit heavy, and I wish it came with the silicone boot like the Hydro Flask. It’s definitely our kid’s favorite, and it is the highest quality! This is our pick- most expensive of the three, but in our opinion, it’s worth the very minimal cost differential if it is higher quality and lasts!

This is such a cute color! It’s such a bright and unique purple! The YETI is the best water bottle, the ice doesn’t melt for over 24 hours. This was a gift I bought my daughter for her birthday and we only use YETI products because it truly works the best. So happy to also be able to purchase it through Amazon, a wonderful convenience.

The compact size of this YETI is great because it’s easy to carry and store. It also fits into our car’s cup holders. Whether you choose cold liquids or hot, I’m impressed with the consistent temperature it maintains.

I love the Yeti Rambler. Thus makes the third one we’ve bought. This one was bought for my mother-in-law for Valentine’s Day because she really liked the ones our daughters had. We bought the first two for our daughters at Christmas from Dicks which cost more than on Amazon through Yeti directly by the way. We decided to go with the Yeti Rambler because they stated they were leak proof which they completely are. Our youngest daughter has Autism and all of her food and drinks have to be packed and carried in a backpack wherever we go so we need that stability. We’ve tried several other brands that claim to be leak proof but turn out not to be. We had a Zulu that we liked that didn’t leak once you locked the lid. The problem was it had a plastic flip top lid and it broke rendering it useless. We then bought another one only a larger version knowing it was a matter of time until it did the same thing. Thankfully, it didn’t before we found the Rambler. We also like the Rambler because it’s low maintenance. Not a bunch of pieces to take apart to wash which, to me, makes me feel more comfortable that it’s getting clean when washed. It just consists of the top you screw off, the container and the straw. (It also comes with an extra straw.) Throw three pieces in the dishwasher or the sink and you are done. Also, I have arthritis and I have a hard time getting some of the containers apart if you have to pull out some of the straw attachments if they make them too complicated. Something else we love about love about the Rambler is the carrying handle. You need nearly indestructible stuff when you have a child on the spectrum. This handle can’t be broken. Also, the flip up “straw” is awesome. Since we’ve purchased, no scuff marks. Looks like new and both girls put them to the test. Like I said above, this Rambler was bought for my mother-in-law. She has other Yetis but they have straws and she wanted something she could throw in her bag to and from work and not worry about leaking. The only complaint I have is that I wish it came in more colors. To me, I think it’s limited to only a handful but I guess that’s only a minor issue. I have a Rambler too but it’s a straw cup and never wanted this type before but now I want one after using my daughters so I’m adding it to my want list. I would absolutely recommend this Rambler. There are no cons in my book.
