Bought 3 to carry milk for tea at work. They leak if tipped even slightly. Any remedy? Recommendation for another typ bottle instead?

My Lifefactory Bottles are the 16 & 22oz. with the carry-handle lid. They don't leak. But I transport them in insulated wine bag carriers from ThirtyOne just in case.

I have only purchased the larger bottles. The ones with a single lid seam to work better for me. If the seal stays intact, I don't have any trouble with leakage. I have one bottle that has a pop top on it, which is very convenient for pouring quickly, but it also pops off sometimes. I have not used the ones that look like baby bottles. I would contact the company & see what they are willing to do for you. All my experiences have been positive so far with the products they produce. Good Luck. (I don't have any suggestions for different brands of bottles that might be better.)

Either your caps or your bottles are defective. Exchange them with Amazon or contact Lifefactory directly. I own 10 of the 9-ounce size bottles and have used them to transport drinks for my daughter almost daily for over a year. I have never had one leak. We also use them to mix formula and have to shake them vigorously for several minutes; no leaks. Lifefactory advertises these as leakproof so I'm sure they will help you resolve the issue if Amazon doesn't. Good luck!

I bought one for the same use. Sometimes it leaks - not a lot, just enough to be irritating - sometimes it doesn't. I try to really tighten it down hard and that seems to stop any leaks. Just don't think I should have to work that hard! But the size and price point are both ideal!

These fit most bottles but once you open/unseal it to drink, it won't be able to hold the liquid inside when you place the cap back on for later. Hence, expect some leaking if you're gonna put the bottle in your bag on the go..

I have not had any problems with mine... Sometimes if you do not line up the bottom right when you screw them on they will leak (just like anything with a screw cap). What I noticed is that water can get stuck in the bottom (Between the white "ring" and the bottle plastic) and it seems like the bottle is leaking but its not.

we have Tommie tippies and dr. browns, this bag works best for putting in long skinny bottles like a standard bottle. You could probably get 4 9 oz Tommie tippie bottles in the bottom upright and stick another one resting upright on top...you would have a lot of space on top to spare to put ice packs and keep everything upright..though with Tommie tippies they aren't prone to leaking with the lid on anyway. Good luck!

It wouldn't hold much and I'm not sure that it wouldn't leak. These containers are designed for powdered baby formula, which is a solid rather than a liquid. You can store breast milk straight in the bottle.

I would call it "leak resistant", not "leak proof". Simple tipping is fine, but if there is any pressure on the spout when the bottle falls over, then some liquid will escape. The spout is easy enough to operate that my 10-month-old doesn't have a problem getting water out. If anything, it can come out a little fast for him, but he doesn't seem to mind. If you get the additional travel dome top, it will even do well hanging out in the diaper bag. I wouldn't put it in the bag without the travel lid though!

I have 4 of these bottles and I have trouble with one of my lids - it goes on crooked and leaks. :(

I have a 40 oz Hydro Flask with the lid/straw attachment and I have not experienced any problems with leaking while the attachment is in the closed position. If yours leaks, you may have a faulty attachment.

you may have gotten a defected sippy cup. I love these cups for bringing water with me. You just squeeze at the base of the spout. The end of the spout with hold a little juice/milk after my child drinks from these, so they are strictly water sippys in my house.

True! I use a teaspoon. The one for younger has a dropper. I loved it but can't fit on this bottle! Sorry can't help more

My wife packs this carafe in her Tote daily. She fills it with hot filtered (ProPur) water to have at work. The carafe does not leak if tipped over as long as the cap 'push button' is not depressed. So, depending on how the carafe is packed, there is risk of spillage if the 'push button' is pressed down.

Sorry. Must correct. This bottle has ceramic lid. But NOT leak-proof if tipped.

I tested two of them to see if they are water-tight. You have to have the lid perfectly in place, otherwise they leak. I would not recommend them for transporting liquids (such as in a bag). Hwvr, they would make fine canisters for around your work space.

I have tried to use these as bottles once and the nipple and nipple ring ''fit" but since you are not able to use the blue little pipe and the tan color insert to the pipe the milk spills out (sorry i do not know their exact names). Hope this info helps.

I tried this afternoon to find out just how "waterproof" the carry case is (the answer is, not very). I added some water to the container, put the lid on, and shook it. While it did not pour out, there was no doubt that this lid is NOT a tight seal. I suppose that a large o-ring or perhaps some RTV could be used to seal it up, or a very large stopper would do the trick, but barring that, I would not carry wet tea in this unless you like tea leaking everywhere.

It is not normal for the bottle to leak at all. Sometimes water can get trapped in the threads and get squeezed out when the lid is tightened. Make sure its not just that residual water from the threads and then return it.
