Customer Review: Great gift
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The dance and colorama ones are absolutely loved by my daughter, I hope my nephew loves his since he is into the solar system and planets now.
No leaks as long as the spout and lid are closed tight, and I know these will not fade as long as we hand wash.

Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Kids love it and wanted to drink water from it immediately. However, it is so easy to get scratch if it is drop on a hard surface.Customer Review: The Peeling Planets
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
My kids love these bottles. Why? Becasue of the vibrant color designs and interesting themes (dinosaurs, planets; jungle animals, trucks, etc.)
As a mom, I love them for the same reason, but also because the core of the bottle is made of stainless steel, a much more durable and safer alternative to plastic. They also keep cold beverages insulated better than plastic. They are also just the right size to fit into a convetional lunchbox.
BUT, I have complaints.
1) The exterior design, made of some type of laminate, peels off the bottle after just a short amount of routine wear and hand washing. I have the bottles for just about a month now, and they are all peeling in the same spot: bottom seam.
2) Not dishwasher safe. Need I say more.
3) The drinking spout is loose and if not shut all the way, it will leak. So I place the bottles in a ziploc freezer bag before packing them in a lunchbox.
4) The metal will react to certain acidic drinks... like apple juice. After about 10 hours in the bottle, the juice had a vinegary taste.
For ten bucks, this should be a better product. But looks alone, it would win a beauty contest.
Customer Review: Not dishwasher safe
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
I purchased this water bottle after a long search for a BPA free water bottle for my son. He loved the solar system design, and functionally the water bottle works very well. However, after less than 10 uses I noticed that the paint was peeling off the bottle - after about 20 uses, the paint was off 60% of the bottle. I contacted Crocodile Creek, the rep told me that the bottle are NOT dishwasher safe - which was the cause of the paint peel. I probably would not have purchased this item had I know it was not dishwasher safe - it's just not practical in a busy family to be washing this by hand every day. However, to Crocodile Creek's credit, they did offer to replace the bottle. Also - purchased the vehicle s/s bottle for my other son - it had only minimal peeling after the same amount of use (the rep did say that some designs were more prone to peeling than others).
