is this spout leak proof - if the child sets the bottle on its side, will it leak from the sippy part?

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!

When it is new it is absolutely leak proof and will not leak or drip when on its side. If your child chews on the spout they will eventually wear down and leak. I always keep extras around for when they wear out.

The spout is leak proof and will not leak if the bottle is on it's side. Just a side note, if you put anything cold in it, the entire bottle gets really cold. I didn't realize this before I purchased the bottle. You can buy a "snuggy" type cover for it, fortunately my son enjoyed the coldness of it.

It will leak if it is tipped with some force. Shaking it at an angle will also result in spillage.

Ours didn't in the beginning so we ordered a replacement nipple and its fine again... its my favorite... just ordered a second

I just held it upside down and it did leak. But the lid has bite marks in it from my kids... I bet it didn't do that until the bite marks.

Yes it is leak proof, however it is VERY hard to suck any liquid out- I used the nipple that came with it and my two year old can not drink out of it because it is to hard for him to suck out of. I actually tried sucking out of it myself and it was even hard for me as an adult.

I think it's supposed to be a spill proof spout. I don't use it because I needed my sons liquids to just flow so he learns to drink properly with the spout stopping the flow. HTH

I've never had a problem with any leaking through the cap, and I always set it on its side. I do make sure that the cover is on securely, of course.

I've bought two of these. The first one, I was not able to. The second one didn't really have that problem.My experiences from the first one was that no matter how tightly I screwed the cap on, it would still leak if the bottle was on its side. I never had an issue from either of mine leaking from the cap when it was right-side up. If it leaks from that position, you probably should get a new one because that's not supposed to happen whatsoever.

The hole is small and doesn't leak too much if you tip it upside down, but my daughter pushes the nipple on the floor (purposely) and it leaks all over. Problem is that she only will drink milk from those cups and those nipples!

Yes, the spout isn't protected like other cups, but I've never had an issue with them and my son (who has been using them for about six months) has never gotten sick from it touching the ground, floor, etc. He's also pretty good about putting it up on the table when not drinking from it, so that helps!

It's not so much that it will leak but it will be harder for her to get the formula/milk/juice if the hole isn't facing the top. The flat part if the nipple should face down. I'm going through the same thing with my boys. But hopefully they will learn.

I've used this bottles from my baby all the way and I haven't had any leaking issues. She is one year old and I am still using the same bottles I bought when she was born...

As long as you push the top on good and your kid makes sure to close the lid, it will not leak, even if tipped over.

As long as the rubber stopper is in place and the latch is locked, this bottle has not yet had any leaking issues. On the other hand, if you put in iced beverages, you might worry about the condensation on the outside.

It does not leak out the spigot but if turned upside down then it would leak out the lid... the lid has a silicone ring inside that helps to seal it but it's not super tight and leak proof; however, as I stated, the spigot does not leak.

No. When the straw is in the closed position, a little gap opens up behind it so that even when closed, there is a small opening on the top of the bottle. If the bottle is on its side, it will leak. I have found the OXO kids twist water bottle to be more leak proof: OXO Tot Twist Lid Water Bottle for Big Kids (12 Oz) - Aqua

I have not had issues with straw leaks unless it's held upside down for an extended period of time. I have a hard time getting water out after a few sips, but my daughter will guzzle half the glass of water before coming up for air! I think it's because it's built for infant/toddler mouths, not adult mouths!

I'm not saying that you have done this, however, if you try to pick up the bottle or even move it by the spout, it will leak. I love mine too and have never had this issue.

So far my bottle has stood up to my 18 month old dropping and throwing it on our tile floor and it has not broke but it does leak when the straw is closed if the bottle is positioned with the top half down. :(

I usually only fill it part way and my daughter (8months) is able to get liquids out. The cup does not leak either if filled to the top

It is pretty leak proof so long as you close the flip-up all the way (until it clicks). that seals the spout and the vent hole. I have used it with carbonated beverages and it doesn't leak and holds the carbonation (you can hear it pop when it is opened). Only time I have had a leak is when I didn't click it all the way closed and it fell over.
