New Contigo® Water Bottles Put Innovative Spin On Hydration For Kids And Tweens

CHICAGO, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The days of blaming kids for spills, leaks and dribbles are coming to an end, according to Contigo^®, the leading producer of innovative water bottles, travel mugs and kids bottles. At the 2015 International Home + Housewares Show, Contigo will introduce six kid- and tween-sized water bottles designed to withstand any adventure while keeping kids hydrated and clean – and parents happy. 

"The demand for children's hydration products is growing rapidly, and we're focused on engineering convenient products that are easy and fun to use," said Todd Starr, Vice President of Marketing and Product Development at Contigo. "Our Contigo Kids line empowers active kids to live a spill-free life."

Spill-Proof Gizmos On-the-Go
Contigo's new AUTOSEAL^® Gizmo^™ Sip and AUTOSPOUT^® Gizmo^™ Flip are armed with spill-proof technologies that put the fun in functional for kids ages three and up. Both feature colorful parts, fun patterns and a transparent lid that allows glimpses of internal mechanisms. Gizmo water bottles have a 14-ounce capacity and a soft, flexible handle that's comfortable to carry. Suggested retail price of each is $9.99.

• AUTOSEAL Gizmo Sip features Contigo's popular 100 percent spill-proof AUTOSEAL technology. Simply press the button to drink and release the button to automatically seal it between sips. A spout cover helps keep out germs and protects the mouth piece when not in use, and an easy-clean lid opens for complete cleaning access with no loose parts. Available now at Meijer and GoContigo.com.
• AUTOSPOUT Gizmo Flip features Contigo's AUTOSPOUT technology plus a spill-proof valve that eliminates spills even when the spout is in the open position. Its one-touch lid pops-up for easy one-handed drinking from an angled straw that allows children to easily drink every last drop. Available at GoContigo.com in August 2015.
