Does the lid lock shut? Has anyone had issues with it popping open unintentionally?

You will absolutely love this! Yes, it locks shut unless you accidentally hit the button. It does not leak. It is amazing!

It clicks shut but not opening on its own unless the button is pushed accidentally. It has leaked in my daughters backpack but that is only because she didn't lock it shut. We've used these since she was in Kinder and is now going into 5th grade.

Yes, the lid does lock. I have used one for two years and I've never had a problem.

My kids have had that happen on occasion when they put them into their backpacks.....I have never had that problem with mine, but I just put it into my cup holder in my car. Love Thermos products, but my new favorite for my kids is the Contigo Scout stainless steel, insulated 12 oz. it can't pop open unintenionally.

The lid locks very securely shut. It will not pop open if it is latched, and you can hear the latch engage when closing it.

Mine opens and closes prefect when full. I only have a personal size machine on the top with no problems.

I never noticed but I just tested it. The door will always swing back into a closed position but does not always "click" in a locked mode. If you are looking to keep it wide open from time to time this might be a nuisance. We always need it shut so it's fine for that purpose. Hope that helps :)

Have had no problem. I empty after using and leave lid open a little while.

In my experience, the lid shuts fine, but you do have to make sure you hear it "snap" closed all the way.

The grey latch on the front is what locks the lid. If that is undone and it still won't open it is likely damaged and the metal rod that "pops" the lid isn't working correctly.

Yes, it closes tightly, strong to sit on, stays shut. Only problem is the system that holds the lid in the back is weak and breaks easily. It is only screws that feel weak and rust.

I bought it about 4 months ago and it's still just as good as when we got it. It stays closed without any problems. Hope that answers it

I have not had trouble. Others have said press real hard on lid, maybe with foot pressure and it should open

Yes! Mine latches fine, the backside of the lid does come un hooked though if the front is not latched, all closed up you should be good as long as your not swinging and throwing it.

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

No. It will latch without locking. I have had 2 of these and both had the latch break off after a little use. It is great if you don't open it very much. Otherwise it will probably need to be replaced after a few months.

I've never had any issues. I throw it in my tote bag to bring to work or in my beach bag. I just make sure the lid is closed tightly.

No, the lid isn't locked if you don't pushing the pedal. I would say that it is NOT pet proof. If it tips over the lid will swing open. It doesn't take much effort to open the lid.

Yes. I have no issues with the lid. I do close it when I'm not using it. But it does stay open when I am.

Yes, the lid closes tightly. The plastic lid fits snugly into the plastic case. The latching system is a plastic latch. With heavy-duty use, the latch could fail. However, I have replaced plastic hinges with metal hinges, using sheet metal screws into the plastic case of a similar cooler with good results. I suspect that using the same technique for a small metal latch would work just as well. Yes, it is sturdy enough to sit on. Furthermore, the insulation is superior! This really keeps things cold for a long time. Compared to other, cheaper coolers, this one is truly superior. This was a good purchase that I am very pleased with. I will be using this one for a very long time. Yes, the lid closes tightly. The plastic lid fits snugly into the plastic case. The latching system is a plastic latch.

The lid clicks when closed but remember you can easily lift the lid with your fingers. I am not sure to what degree you mean "that secure".
