Don't be put-off by the "Kid's" label
The bottle is the standard Hydro widemouth and you can mix and match caps with other Hydros.
The straw function is great because you dont have to tip bottle to drink.
If you're on a bike or driving etc its nice to not have to put head up.
The lid also works without the straw.
Just flip the spout open and the water will pour into your mouth when you tip.
If you want a standard cap then they work fine
The bottle comes with its own silicone boot.
I consider these better buys than the "adult" bottle because its the same thing with more features - all of which can be abandoned as desires determine.
A tip with ALL Hydros is to screw cap tight.
The Hydros take less twists to open than a lot of cheaper bottles like Ozark that take more twists.
If I open my 32 oz Ozark it takes 5 twists to open
My Hydro takes 2
On a hot day where I drink 5x, that's 25 twists to open Ozark and 25 to tighten - 50 twists total.
The Hydro would be 20 twists to open and close.
That might not seem like a big deal but if you're busy and hot the 30 extra twists is a pain.
The drawback is you cant have a loosey-goosey cap or you can get some seep.
Give a little extra tight final twist and things stay dry
The Hydros can dent more if dropped because they aren't as heavy

I normally just buy whatever is on sale at Costco for my little guy, those never seem to hold up. My hydroflasks always hold up well so at this price it is a no brainer.

Perhaps this is a dumb question, but the 20oz with "straw lid" doesn't actually require a straw to use right? I like the size/durability of these, but dear god I do not want another insulated bottle with a straw. It seems silly but having this extra piece to function can be a major pain when you are trying to run out the door...
edit: seems like it does include a straw and actually a second one in case you lose the first. "with straw lid" is throwing me off. Why not just say "with straw"?
