Is there a valve on the straw?

No, there is no valve. This is good for older toddlers because they can get a large drink. When it tips it only spills whatever liquid is in the straw. I wouldn't recommend it without supervision or if you are looking for a leak proof bottle. Hope that helps.

No valve. It stops the liquid flow by twisting the cap, pulling the drinking portion of the straw into the lid and pinching it so that no liquid can flow. So, there is a good shutoff and it doesn't leak. But there isn't a valve on it.

Yeah your missing the straw. There are replacement parts sold on line. I would google it. Good luck!

No, but there is some straw included that you can insulate it with (it does a fair but not great job).

No straw included. Has a opening for drinking. Is only spill proof when lid is closed.

The lid screws on. There is an flap that comes up and a hole where the drink comes through and yes, you can put a straw through it.

Yes. The lid has a hole which the straw fits in to and a spring-loaded flap which opens inward. The spring forces the flap closed and so it presses tightly against the straw when one is inserted preventing the flap from closing.

No valves or removable parts. The lid seals around the cut where a child cannot remove the lid. However, the lid is just a basic molded plastic lid.

The one I got does not have a straw or any way to use a straw, but the insert that came with it in the package said the company was working on a sport top for it, so this might be that kind of design.

No, these do not have "straws" and a folding spout top. These have an autoseal type valve with a lever on the back side of the lid. There is a handle which folds down and out of the way. These work wonderfully and do not leak from the valve or the lid gasket. They are insulated though not recommended for hot drinks. Also of note is that they can "spit" a bit if you're going into higher altitudes like from sea level to the mountains. The straw type bottles made by this company are called Sheffield bottles. They also work well and do not leak. The straw type does require more work to suck up your drink. You can use the straw type without the straw, but, you then have to tip the bottle, you still have to suck to get your drink and they also may squeak when sucking.

mine did not have a straw, just a spout to drink from . This type works better than straw ones for me.

No, you do not have to use the straw, but you could not tip this over and have it pour into your mouth, as you have to "bite" onto the spout and suck the water. It is essentially leak proof though.

No, it is just the connector and there was no shut off valve. That would be a nice feature though.

Yes, there are two holes in the top, one a vent and the other larger football shaped to drink from that can fit a straw. There is a rotating slide that covers the holes.

Yes. We quit using the straw, but now the gasket has come off and is incredibly hard to put back on. Now the cup leaks so cannot be used. Disappointed in this cup.

you can remove the straw from the lid, but the bite valve is built into the lid so you cant use the straw by itself with the lid on.

No straw. You press on the large yellow button and it opens for drinking- When you let go, it clicks closed.

No valve my daughter doesn't struggle while drinking her juice or milk. I love this cup especially for my little preschooler. My daughter is only 2 years old and she seems to have no problems with this cup. I also bought matching back pack and lunch box. I say go for it
