Are the compartments leak proof?

No. It comes with a round container that has a silicone ring in the top for things like yogurt ( thick and not soupy). My son has used his daily for kinder-2nd grade now and it still looks like new. After two years though we needed to get a new carry bag for it as it was thrown around quite a bit and washed frequently.

No, the little containers included with it are sort of leak resistant. If I send soups or something leaky I use a thermos instead. My daughters favor dry food (fruits and veggies included) for lunch and all stews and soups are done for dinner at home.

I would not put a soup in there but it is solid, I do not have an issue with leaks. The big dipper compartment is perfect for soups, but I add a rubberband to be certain.

I fly with 2 of them every week and have not had a problem. But the contents in them is more thick than thin. If I leave them in my checked suitcase I put it in a plastic bag. Overall, no leaks yet!!

I shouldn't leak at all if you have the lid snapped on firmly and the little vent hole cover snapped into place. It's a rubbery lid that seals pretty tightly and takes some effort to sort of "peel" it back off the cup when you are ready to eat. I've never had any spillage in my fancy tote bag I haul lunch in.

I have not experienced any leaks from the containers while toting in my lunch bag. I try to keep containers with food upright as much as possible but have emptied my bag with a container shifted on its side, etc. but have never had any spills so far (although I have only owned these for about 8 months now). I wash the lids in my dishwasher too, so I think they are designed very well.

Yes, I just went and double checked and no leakage. I've had them a couple months.

It is leak proof as long as you put the tab in the "lock" position, and have it assembled correctly. I throw mine in my backpack and the only time it leaked was when I forgot to lock it.

Top tray has ventilation cuts all around - so not leak proof. Bottom one seals tight but is one compartment - not subdivided.

Yes. I have made cheesecake, carrot cake, and chocolate cake in these and never had a leak. The only thing is that it takes a little longer to clean out the tiny grooves.

I don't think they are designed to be watertight. For that, I would expect a rubber gasket. I've had no trouble keeping juicy fruit or Ketchup out of neighboring compartments, though. And I didn't notice any changes over time.

I used these at a wedding for holding sparklers before and after they were used so sorry do not know if they are leak proof. I would suggest a liner to be safe.

Yes they are as long as you have a secure latch. If the latch isn't locked there is a chance of leaking. I placed 15 pounds of weight in the box and submerged it over night in a tub sitting upright and no leaks. Hope this helps. The other answer about the handle is very true it is completely water tight.

I've had no leaks. I carry one in my bag ever morning and no leaks. They are super sturdy lids, they snap closed really tightly. Does not come with a straw. Highly recommend them.

I was unsure myself, so I performed an experiment with water. The water leaked through into the 2 smaller compartments; however, due to using water, maybe a more viscous liquid would not leak? I would air on the side of caution, and not place liquid in the container unless you are able to keep it flat all day.

I would think so, yes. However, they are very lightweight, so when it is open a liquid could easily get bumped and spilled. Also, since it is a liquid, I would suggest putting whatever you store in a Ziploc as a backup. I don't expect it would leak (it seems like a good seal), but I do this anytime when I travel with shampoos, lotions, etc., just in case.

Yes they are leakproof. We've never had a problem. I carry one in my purse. HOWEVER, folks are right about the caps. a few of mine are starting to crack, possibly from over tightening. I'm going to get replacements caps because the bottles are excellent.

Yes it is leak proof as long as the rubber straw part is in place and the lid in the closed position. I've had no problems with mine. Hope this helps.

I would not call them water proof but they are probably water resistant. I believe the bags would start t leak if they were in the rain for very long. I have like having the bag to keep the chairs clean and for carrying the chairs.
