will it spill if upside down, laying down, etc. in the child's lunchbox?

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.

No. I ordered 2 sets and about 3 of the ones that I got came home in my kids' lunches unopened because they were stuck closed. My kids, their teachers, my husband, and I could not open them no matter what. So actually those 3 were leak proof, but also unusable as a result! The remaining ones that we are able to use will hold mushy food, but if you put soup or water in them, the'd leak if they were tilted sideways or upside down. The lid and bottom pieces have no thread like a screw would - the lids are slightly wider than the bottoms and just fit over the bottom piece.

Yes it will leak into other compartments. Also any wet fruit will make dry compartments wet. I am yet to find a lunchbox that is truly watertight. Another problem with this lunchbox is that none of the compartments will hold a whole sandwich. Other than that I love the lunchbox because it is stainless steel instead of plastic.

Yes 100%. I sometimes find it on its side in my lunchbox and haven't even see a drop of beverage in the bag.

Yes, however, I have never turned it upside down to see if it leaks, have always filled it, and served. then emptied. My daughter also has one, she refrigerates hers overnight, but has a large shelf. Great item! Get lots of compliments.

No. That is the only downfall of this product. It will spill out when you lay down or bend over forward.

There is an opening in the top for sipping that does not have a lid of any sort, so yes, if it falls sideways it will spill. It is also rather delicate to throw into a bag. I love mine but only use it around the house.

Mine has never leaked from where the lid and jar form a seal. However, it would be easily spilled in a lunch bag because of the holes for drinking and air flow.

Yes, the butter is upside down when closed. When you pack a cube of softened butter into it, it adheres to the sides and bottom of the container. I use a soup spoon to pack it in and eliminate any air pockets. when you place the butter container into the bottom, with @ ¼" of water in it, it creates a vacuum and the butter stays fresh and in place. Kid use, depending upon age, should be no problem as all you do is pull it up out of the container and turn it over. They can easily master gently returning it to the container.

Yes, it can get dirty. However; my son uses it in his lunchbox for school, or in the car when we go on trips, so other than the inside of his lunchbox it really doesn't touch a whole lot of places. Now....if you have it loose inside a backpack; that's would be another story! On the upside; it washes a whole lot easier than other bottles...the ones with straws that bends down are a GERM-FEST, I cannot for the life of me even understand how they are legal to sell. There is NO way to clean those straws on the inside.

No. It's a twist off top. I've never had one spill or leak, but I can see how it's be possible.

Yes, it does. This organizer works very well. My 7 y.o. daughter inevitably drops it all the time. No spills!!

I have not tried it in a lunchbox, but I am pretty sure it would't leak there. I have had it in my gym bag tilted over, and it didn't leak.

Nothing comes out if the child turns it upside down and shakes it. The only problem we've had with it is that liquid just comes up and out when it's closed tightly. Pressure issues? Other than that it's a great soppy cup and I can just give baby the cup without worrying about her spilling everywhere.

I don't know about in a lunch box. I have four of these total (three year old twins), they get used all the time and the only time I have ever seen them leak was when my son shoved the mouth piece down into the thermos. They have been closed and thrown on the car floor and nothing leaked out.

yes, I lay mine on its side in my lunchbox every day. does not leak. but, 2 or 3 of the lids have cracked, possibly due to over tightening, I am not sure of that though. the holder is very nice and works well in door. good luck!

It does leak with the straw out. This is the one cup I can't give my kid for bedtime as it will make a mess if it's tilted.
