Is there a lid so that the balls don't roll out if I transport it in the trunk of my car?

Yes, there are actually two round rods on the top and bottom; fixed on the bottom (used to pick up the balls), and movable on the top. When you flip the legs down to use the ballport as a basket, you just slide the two rods apart to get easy access; when you want to secure them for driving around, just push the rods back toward the center of the basket and they lock in place to keep the balls in. Confusing to assemble and explain, but simple and effective to use. Hope this helps. I'm liking this thing a lot so far!

There are two rods that slide and lock in beteeen so that balls will not fall. You can travel without issues.

Yes the way its made there are two bars accross the top so you can slide each bar. Works great. You can have it completly open half open anyway you want and no floppy lid to mess with. I like it much better than metal ones and very sturdy.

There are two adjustable bars on top which serve to keep the balls from falling out during transport. Thus there is no need for a lid.

There is no lid, but there are two fiberglass (?) bars which move into place preventing the balls from falling out. I put a full baskek in my trunk and have not had one ball "escape." The ball basket is great (I got rid of an older, very heavy, all metal Hoag), and am very happy with the purchase.

Does this trashcan have a stay-open feature, so that the lid can stay open even when the pedal is not being pressed?

No. It's designed such that nothing gets loose and lost. You may play around with it to open the ball head holder, but there is no guarantee what you'll end up with.

No lid----gravity holds the water in the bowl. Due to the design of the unit, the water level is NOT at the top of the blue bowl, so it does not spill over if used on a boat, car ride, or on your floor. I bring it to the dog park daily and it is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread! I have used it in car rides and on pontoon boat rides. You can also pack iced cubes in cavity to make for nice chilly treat for your dog or cat. Perfect for travel! David

Hi. It does not have a lid, which is awkward and cumbersome. However, I do like it in the car. It gives me peace of mind...once I getnit there with enough water in it, that is. That last bit is more of a joke... Good luck. I also like the Water Hole. My only concern with most of these products is the use of BPA-containing plastics. We need to be careful...

I haven't tried that but I would imagine that since the top is a zipper, any liquid could leak out. It should definitely fit upright in your trunk, though.

No. There are a lot of small pieces that would roll around and maybe get lost in the car.

No it doesn't - sorry. And the top doesn't have a latch - so when carrying in the car - make sure it doesn't tip over on hot summer days! Learned from experience! Hope this is helpful.

Yes it can be rolled up for easy storage and the ball return comes apart like the old hot wheels tracks. This thing works great!

Yes, Brent, the lid fits securely to prevent small items from moving from one compartment to another. I use my Plano Stowaways for storing beads, and have never had any kind of "movement" problem.

You might be able to transport it in a mid sized car. It is kind of bulky but snaps shut so it won't open when moving.

I just use a little bucket to keep it in, there may be a special holder out there but I'm not aware of it. Sorry.

It's a magnet closure and unless you don't have a lot of stuff in the middle compartment it doesn't stay closed. It's a downside. If it tips in the car or anywhere else, stuff comes out. Should have been a zip top.

Yes, but again, it doesn't latch in there tight. It's just a handle to press down on for getting in and out of vehicle.

Hello, I did not get any sort of storage bag with this product. My son got another gift for his bday that came with a big bag that ties. I use that bag to store the balls. It's almost the size of a laundry bag. The type that has a draw string to close it.

There aren't any rubber soles at the bottom of the holder. I don't think it would remain stable in the trunk by itself with the car in motion. If you have carbonated drinks, you probably risk all that drink fuzz erupting from the liquid shaking. So you would need to wait a while to drink, before opening up the bottle. Aside from the vehicle criticism, this object is absolutely great in my fridge! It holds my water bottles and other bottled drinks like a charm. :)

I don't think there is a lid for it. Still it is a fun functional work of art for a wastecan!
