    Very useful once we replaced the cap
    I used the Katafyn BeFree for 3 weeks in Guatemala. I really like that I can use it to put drinkable water into other bottles. It works easily and my grandchildren were able to drink from it easily.The cap however broke the first day. It has a strip you have to remove before you use it like a disposable water bottle. (It was hard for me to open.) My grandson dropped it (he's one so it didn't fall far) and the cap broke. Fortunately, my daughter found a brand of disposable water bottles that had a cap that fit that was sturdier so we were still able to use the bottle.
