Bilt Stainless Water Bottles for kids review and CONTEST!
I love that we’ve made the switch to stainless bottles for our family! After my recent review of the Earthlust bottles I am excited to have found another great option that I hadn’t heard of before. BILT makes bottles for both adults and kids and they might be just what you’ve been looking for! BILT’s Vite kids water bottle comes in colors or stainless (with a colored top) and retails for $11.50-$14 CAD. I was very happy to test these bottles out and Bilt generously offered one for each of the kids AND a 4th to give away to one of our readers! The kids were pleasantly surprised when the bottles we were sent had graphics on them! Ethan’s has what he calls a “transformer” robot on it, Ben’s has some cute little guys fishing (one caught a boot and the other a fish) and Jamie’s is PINK with a cute little bear-like creature on it. We have an extra the same as Ben’s (the one on the left) to give away!
Here is our family’s take on them:
- VERY cute bottles, the kids definitely prefer the look of these bottles compared to their Klean Kanteen. The designs we have would suit kids of all ages (not just toddlers like some Sigg I’ve seen).
- HUGE opening on top which will accommodate even the big chunky ice cubes that you get from standard trays. I am sure this would be a big plus for people without ice makers because in my opinion all drinks need ice!!!
- The big open top makes for easy cleaning.
- Sports tops are easy for kids to open on their own and they haven’t leaked for us.
- There is a loop on top that you can put your finger through to carry the bottle or add a clip to if you wanted.
- Lids are made of #5 food grade polypropylene (pp). Bilt says that “#5 PP is a plastic with good durability and no known leaching characteristics”.
- These 16 oz bottles are the PERFECT size for my kids (their Klean Kanteen are 12 oz but since the top screws inside the bottle I can’t fill them all the way).
- The kids (2 yr old Jamie included) have no trouble holding these bottles even though they hold more liquid. There are little indents on the sides for fingers to grip.
- This isn’t something that we need but for serious camping families Bilt says that the “thread pattern fits bottle adaptors of most backcountry water filters including msr and Katadyn; great for travel”.
- The bottles are dishwasher safe and have done fine so far in mine (although they recommend hand washing for longer life).
- When I asked 6 yr old Ethan which of his metal bottles (Klean Kanteen and Bilt) he liked to drink from the best he told me that he liked both the same and that both were good to drink from. I thought he might prefer one sports top over the other but he didn’t. He clearly likes the look of his Bilt bottle better though!
Here is Bilt’s Why Use Stainless Steel Bottles link!
You can’t buy directly from their site but there is a store locator and I found them sold online at REI and EMS (although EMS didn’t carry the kids Vite they do have 5 Bilt bottles available).
We have an extra Vite Kids bottle just like Ben’s to GIVE AWAY!
- To enter please click over to the Bilt website and come back to comment on what you think of their adult bottles (or another product of theirs that you like). Warning… if you don’t do this luck won’t be on your side
! - Contest is open to US and Canadian addresses only, one entry per person.
- CONTEST ENDS SUNDAY November 30th!

I love the Henna (purple) one–so pretty! It’s nice that these are made of stainless steel and not aluminum, because with the aluminum ones I worry that their LINING is going to leach something into my water!

I like the easy grip indents on the Vite Plus Single Wall Stainless Steel Sport Bottle
I like the shape of the Fresco bottles. They look like they would feel good to hold.
the graphic print fresco bottles are awesome!
I love the selection! My favorite is the Coloured Vite Plus Single Wall Stainless Steel Sport Bottle. Thanks!
nice variety of colors. I wish my local stores carried these products
stainless steel water bottles definitely rock, they keep the water fresh tasting and cool. I love the fresco line for adults, esp. the day of the dead print and the pretty pink color.
Ahhhh so cool of you! I really like the
Graphic Print Fresco Stainless Steel Single-Wall Water Bottle in the Go Green print!
I like the Coloured Fresco Stainless Steel Single-Wall Water Bottle in True Blue.
i like their Graphic Print Vite Single Wall Stainless Steel Bottle
I really like the look of their Fresco bottles, with the loop top and wide mouth, but I don’t like that it only holds 850 ml. I like a good liter-size bottle. But my son is in love with their robot bottle, and he’s the reason I’m shopping around. I can’t find it anywhere though! There is no store within 6 hours of me that carries them, and he doesn’t really want the blue one they carry on REI.com. Anyway, that’s my two cents. Thanks!

It’s about time people started to realize that plastic bottles are not good – for the environment and for your health. The stainless steel bottles look so much cooler too, but even the Fresco line doesn’t have as many cool designs as other lines I’ve seen. I also wonder if the outsides of the bottle will get fingerprints all over it like a fridge does? What about temperature conservation too, nobody likes warm water! Anyways, anything reusable is better than disposable!
I like the Vite Plus Color (specifically the blue). Peter would enjoy the kids drink holders. Even the sippy cups are cute.
I like the Day of the Dead Pink/Purple Haze Graphic Print Fresco Stainless Steel Single Wall Water Bottle. Great giveaway, thanks!
Wow, I’m really impressed with these bottles. They’re beautiful! I agree with you, the designs are much better than most of the Sigg bottles I’ve seen.
Although it’s a little thing, I like the shape of the Fresco bottles. They’re slightly more rounded, which I like more than, for example, Sigg bottles. Plus, the graphics they have (esp Maori leaf) on the grownup bottles rock!
I would love to try their Vite Plus Single Wall Stainless Steel Sport Bottle to take to work. I really like the look of it and need to drink more water while working.
I love the sleek design of the Bow Valley Vacuum (why is that word so hard to remember how to spell?)
It’ll easily fit in my school bag as well as any cup holder I’m nearby.
My favorite is actually the kids’ Vite Graphic, so it’d be tough for me to share with my nearly three year old, but I suppose I would
Super cool!!! These seem very durable and are very cute! My Ben would love to use it! I’m always worried about the BPA and this seems to be a great alternative.
I like the vacuum flask, but I also like the sports bottle. I just purged my house of all bottles containing bpa and am excited to have a chance to win a health one!
We so need these in our house
Perfect for my son…he loves taking my water bottles and using them for himself!
This is so great! love the colors
i like the fresco bottle with the blue lid.
enter me please…i aos entered the balarina one for my daughters
I love how you can fit a filter into the bottle if you want to take it camping with you. Great idea!
I like the ‘Go Green” Fresco bottle. Great giveaway!
I want a Me-Me Sippy Cup for my nephew.
I love the Coloured Vite Plus Single Wall Stainless Steel Sport Bottle. I like that they will fit nicely on my bike and the vibrant colors! Thanks for offering this wonderful giveaway! Good luck to everyone!
safe for my water and cute! what more could I ask for! Love the grown up line, hot & cold options!
I like the Fresco graphic print “Go Green” bottle. I especially like the plastic on plastic closure where other bottles have plastic on aluminum. I’d love to see one with the lid attached though.
I’d love to win though, thanks for the opportunity.

I like the Vite plus for me-a carry loop plus a spout is a big plus for a mommy-on-the go. For this kids,i love the transformer graphic on the Vite kids..my son would appreciate something that’s no too baby-ish and I appreciate being able to offer him something safe to drink from!
I love my Bilt water bottle, and I want my little girls to have one too!! Stainless steel is the only way to go! My daughter wants a pink water bottle for school, and she really needs a new one by Bilt!
Hi
I like the Vite kids range because I have been searching for a stainless steel kids bottle for my girls to carry their water. Unfortunately I am in Australia and I noticed on the Bilt Website that they only have the green Bilt Kids bottle online? Anyone know where I can get 2 purple bottles for my girls.
I love them and really find myself wanting one. I’ve seen them before but just haven’t gotten one!!! I love the idea of no more water bottle waste!
I like the SS bottle. I’m so glad when a product can be eco-friendly, economical, and STYLISH all in one. Thanks for the great contest!
looks like they are made to last
I like their Fresco Stainless Steel Single-Wall Water Bottle and their micro-fiber outdoor towels look great too!
I really like the Coloured Vite Plus Single Wall Stainless Steel Sport Bottle great for gym workouts. They look sturdy and colorful.
Oh, wow, those are some great bottles! Their stainless steel bottles are so unique, especially the Graphic Print Fresco Stainless Steel Single-Wall Water Bottles! I love the Maori Leaves one particularly! Their bottles are not just good for the environment, but also pleasing to the eyes – what a great combo!
Thanks for this great giveaway.
These bottles look just wonderful! I love the fact that they are Stainless Stell which would be perfect for my son to take with him to the gym. Thanks for a great giveaway
