My DD's leaking is her fault (biting the straw), and I have no idea why my DS's is leaking. I know if I turn the lid too much (it seems loose otherwise), the straw part moves and the water will pour out. I hate to say it, but because of all the problems I have been having with Thermos, I am done with their water bottles. DD is in grade 3 and I have had to get her 2 Thermos water bottles a year (either buying them, or having them replaced by Thermos), and my DS is in grade 1 and he went through 2 Thermos water bottles in Primary (I have only contacted them about defects, not normal wear and tear by kids). I just can't keep spending that kind of money on waterbottles for them not to last. Thank you for the suggestion though! I appreciate the opinions on different water bottles!
My sister is going to check Costco out the next time she goes, but I probably won't get the cups until Christmas as that will be the next time she is home (unless I find someone that is coming down this way beforehand). The website is cheap (11.99 for 2), but it's almost 26.00 for shipping.
