Insulated Water Bottles FAQ

 

WHAT AGES ARE BABOONS WATER BOTTLES SUITABLE FOR?

Baboons 350ml bottles have a wide mouth opening, perfect for adding ice cubes to keep your drink uber frosty! However, younger children might need supervision while using their Baboons bottle or while they adjust to the wider opening to prevent spills. The screw top lid is easy to open and close, thanks to the cool loop handle that is convenient for little hands to carry. Based on the capacity, we recommend them for ages 3-9 (stainless steel lids may not suit younger children who are not trained for open cup sipping yet). This may vary depending on each child's hydration needs—this is just a guide.It can also be used as a smoothie drink bottle for kids age 4-10 with our stainless steel lid option.

DO BABOONS BOTTLES LEAVE CONDENSATION MARKS?

Our stainless steel insulated bottles are double-walled, meaning NO condensation forms on the outside of the bottle.

ARE THE BABOONS WATER BOTTLE LIDS INTERCHANGEABLE?

Yes! Our Baboons 350ml water bottle lids are interchangeable between the sipper lid and the stainless-steel lid. Please note that the stainless steel lid option is sold separately and is not included with the water bottle purchase.

HOW DO I WASH MY BABOONS BOTTLE?

Wash and rinse the bottle thoroughly before first use, and after each use. Hand washing is recommended for best results. Our bottles are not dishwasher safe. Our sipper lid and free pour stainless steel lids are top-shelf dishwasher safe. Always air dry thoroughly.

HOW DO I STORE MY BABOONS BOTTLE?

Always store your Baboons bottles empty and completely dry inside. We recommend storing your empty bottles without the lid affixed.

DO YOU SELL ADD-ONS (EXTRA ACCESSORIES) FOR MY BABOONS BOTTLE?

Yes! We sell add-ons (extra accessories) separately—stainless steel lids perfect for smoothies & milkshakes that can be used with stainless steel straws, and silicone bumpers for a soft landing on hard surfaces. The durable silicone material provides extra protection for your bottle's base against scratches, dents, and knocks, ensuring longer durability.

ARE BABOONS BOTTLES SUITABLE FOR HOT DRINKS?

All of our Baboons Drink Bottles are double-walled, vacuum insulated (also known as thermally insulated), meaning they are suitable for hot and cold drinks—perfect for year-round use. The wide mouth opening does mean you need to be EXTRA careful with hot liquids. The sipper lid is not suitable for hot drinks. Baboons bottles provide up to 8 hours of warming. Some tips to get maximum warming:

• Pre-warm the bottle just prior to use with boiling water. Attach the lid and let it stand for 10 minutes, then empty.
• After pre-warming, fill your bottle and replace the lid for maximum insulation efficiency.
• Keep the lid in place as much as possible to keep your beverage warm.

WARNING: Always exercise caution with hot beverages to avoid burns and scalds. Wide mouth bottles are NOT recommended for use to serve hot beverages to children.

WHAT ARE BABOONS BOTTLES MADE FROM?

BABOONS bottles are made from stainless steel (304 inner and 304 outer), with a kid-safe, scratch, and dent-resistant finish. Our stainless steel lids have a silicone ring to ensure a water-tight seal. Our sipper lids are made from BPA-free polypropylene.

CAN I PUT MY BABOONS BOTTLE IN THE FREEZER?

No. The force of liquids expanding as they freeze can cause your BABOONS stainless steel bottle to become deformed and can also break the weld that holds the bottle together, so we strongly advise against it.

ARE THE BABOONS WATER BOTTLES LEAKPROOF?

While both our sipper lids and stainless steel lids screw on to create a leakproof seal to help keep the contents cold, the straws are not leakproof. They do have a stopper to help prevent them from being pulled out of the lid.

HOW LONG DO THE BABOONS WATER BOTTLES KEEP THEIR CONTENTS HOT?

Insulated double-wall stainless steel keeps contents hot for 8 hours. The screw-on lid with a flip-top spout locks tight to keep content hot and avoid spills.
