Guide Review - Lil Topper Prevents Spills

Parents of toddlers know how frustrating it can be to allow a child to drink from a water bottle unassisted only to find that most of the water ends up on the child or in the carseat or stroller. The Lil Topper allows toddlers to maintain independence by holding the water bottle without spilling. My daughter Maya was almost three and had spilled countless water bottles in her carseat before a friend recommended the Lil Topper water bottle topper. I'm pleased to say that this product works and I happily recommend it to other parents on the go who have dumped water out of a carseat one too many times. Lil Topper is a no-spill screw-type cap that fits most water bottles on the market today.

The manufacturer's website says the product will fit 99% of water bottles available in the U.S. The product comes in yellow and blue, and each color fits a different type of bottle cap thread. To date, I have only had one brand of bottled water that didn't fit well with the Lil Topper caps. The Lil Topper has a silicone valve that restricts the flow of water until the child applies suction with his / her mouth. It's difficult to get water to come out of the Lil Topper by squeezing, and little, if any, water comes out of the product when the water bottle is turned upside down. The product is not bulky and easily fits in a purse or diaper bag, ready for use on the go. Lil Topper is a great product for parents of toddlers and would be a welcome gift for busy parents who are always on the go.
