Frequently Asked Questions
Is the straw protected from germs in the classroom and lunchroom?
Yes, the push-button flip top lid includes a hygienic pop-up straw cover that retracts over the silicone straw when not in use, protecting it from classroom germs, lunchroom contamination, and dust.
Is the Funtainer made from food-safe materials?
The bottle body is constructed from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, and the straw and lid components are BPA-free and free from phthalates, lead, and other harmful chemicals.
Can the straw be fully cleaned to prevent bacteria buildup?
Yes, the silicone straw is removable for thorough hand-washing, and the lid and straw are top-rack dishwasher safe, making it easy to maintain a hygienic drinking surface.
Is the exterior ever hot to the touch when filled with cold water?
The double-wall vacuum insulation prevents temperature transfer, so the exterior stays at room temperature and is safe and comfortable for small hands to hold all day.
Does the Funtainer contain any BPA, lead, or phthalates?
No, the Funtainer is BPA-free, phthalate-free, and lead-free, using food-grade stainless steel and food-safe silicone for all components that touch the drink.
Is the Funtainer safe for kids with allergies or asthma?
The food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free silicone do not leach chemicals, and the hygienic straw cover helps keep allergens and contaminants away from the drinking surface, making it a safe choice.
How does the Funtainer compare to plastic kids bottles for safety?
Unlike plastic bottles, the Funtainer does not leach chemicals when exposed to heat or sunlight, does not retain flavors or odors, and uses a stainless steel body that is far more durable.
Is this safer than glass water bottles for kids?
Yes, the stainless steel Funtainer is shatter-resistant and far safer for school-age children than glass, which can break if dropped on a cafeteria floor or playground surface.
How does the Funtainer compare to insulated bottles without a covered straw?
The integrated pop-up straw cover is a key safety and hygiene feature that competing bottles without this design lack, protecting the straw from germs in shared lunchroom and classroom environments.
Could the lid or straw be a choking hazard?
The lid and straw components are designed for school-age children ages 4 and up, and Thermos builds the parts to size and durability standards appropriate for that age range.
Is the paint on themed patterns safe if it chips?
The themed designs are applied with safety-tested coatings, and the underlying 18/8 stainless steel remains food-safe even if surface designs show heavy wear over time.
Can the bottle harbor mold or bacteria inside?
The removable straw and wide-mouth design allow for thorough hand-washing of all components, and the top-rack dishwasher-safe lid and straw make it easy to keep the bottle sanitary.
Is the Funtainer safe to leave in a hot car?
Unlike plastic bottles, the stainless steel Funtainer does not leach chemicals when exposed to heat, and the vacuum insulation helps protect the contents from outside temperature swings.
What if my child shares the bottle with a sibling or friend?
The hygienic straw cover and easy-to-clean removable silicone straw make it simple to keep the drinking surface clean between uses or between children.
Is the carry handle safe for a child to clip to a backpack?
Yes, the integrated soft-touch carry handle is securely attached to the bottle body and designed to clip onto standard kid backpack loops without pinching small fingers.
Does the Funtainer meet any third-party safety standards?
Thermos manufactures the Funtainer to meet or exceed common U.S. consumer product safety standards for kids drinkware, including FDA food-contact requirements.
How do I clean a Thermos Funtainer water bottle with straw?
Hand-wash the bottle body with warm soapy water, remove the silicone straw from the lid, and wash it thoroughly. The lid and straw are top-rack dishwasher safe for added convenience.
How long does the Funtainer keep water cold?
The double-wall vacuum insulated stainless steel construction is engineered to keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours when the lid is fully closed.
How do I open and close the push-button lid properly?
Press the front button to pop up the straw cover, drink through the silicone straw, then push the cover back down until it clicks to keep the straw clean and contained.
Does the Funtainer fit standard cup holders and lunch bags?
Yes, the 12-ounce slim profile fits in most standard car cup holders, stroller cup holders, lunch bag side pockets, and standard backpack pockets.
Is the Funtainer compatible with replacement Thermos straws?
Yes, genuine Thermos replacement silicone straws and lid assemblies are available for the Funtainer line, making it easy to refresh parts rather than replace the whole bottle.
What is included in the box when I order a Funtainer?
Each Funtainer ships with the stainless steel bottle body, the push-button flip top lid with integrated straw, a removable silicone straw, and care instructions. No additional parts are required for first use.
Is the Funtainer safe and reliable for everyday use?
Yes, the Funtainer is made with 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, BPA-free silicone, and a 120-year heritage of Thermos quality, making it a safe and reliable choice for daily hydration.
What should I do if my Funtainer stops keeping water cold?
If the bottle ever loses its insulation performance, contact Thermos customer service, as the Funtainer is backed by the brand's quality standards and limited warranty support.
What is the difference between a kids water bottle and a regular insulated water bottle?
Kids water bottles like the Funtainer are sized for small hands, feature easy-open lids like a push-button straw, use themed patterns kids love, and are built specifically for the drops and dings of school life, while regular insulated bottles are designed for adult use.
