[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were 6 and 8 we hiked the Grand Canyon, and we bought kid-sized Camelpaks from REI. They were awesome and the kids had them for years afterwards; only now they are so old they need bigger sizes. They are far superior than a water bottle, because you can hang the tube in such a way that with just a tiny movement they can suck the water. In a place like the Grand Canyon, they need to every 10 min. and that's not happening with a bottle you are carrying or have to twist off. Also, it makes a kid feel more "serious" about hiking, sort of like giving them a uniform does when playing on a team. "Serious" meaning, like they really are good at something…committed in a positive way. The one thing to get is the Camelbak drying system (looks like two yellow plastic things with hangers). Once you know how to use them to dry out the bladders, you'll love them. [/quote]
