Does this straw leak when open or is there a valve? My kid likes to leave her cups on their sides (or upside down)

My grandson also left his open all of the time and we never had any leaks. Once he decided to start chewing on the straw and leaving little gashes in the plastic is when it started to leak some. I love this and if I had discovered them while he was still young enough, I would have had a cupboard full of them. They keep cold drinks very cold and hot drinks hot and we even added a clip to it so he could carry it on his belt loop, bike etc!

Hello, I can't speak for every bottle from Eco Vessel - but the one we use for our son does leak if left upside down. It doesn't leak to the point where water is gushing out - it's more like a slow drip. We put it in his backpack during school and if he puts it in the main compartment on its side, it does tend to leak. But other than that, it's a well made water bottle - my young daughter even knows how to sip out of it.

no valve that i see. its just a flexible straw and at the bottom is a little white sphere with a hole.it moves around easily in the cup for easy drinking. my 8 month old took to it quickly and transitioned away from the bottle very easily with this cup. my issue with the cup is that its not easy to clean and it developed mold after a few months despite my efforts to clean and dry it.

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.

To be truly leak free, yes. I generally only fill this wonderful sippy half way and then when tipped on its side, it won't leak as the straw will be out of the liquid. We have also been using this great sippy without the straw lately and leaks are rare for us.

My son is 15 months old and he is able to drink through this straw easily. I have never tried. I actually think this cup leaks more through the straw than most cups and it's not our favorite. Maybe you recieved a defective straw?

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. :(

The straw is open but it requires the child to pull like any other straw. The cup is nice my only complaint is that my son usually prefers to drink from the bottom of the cup lol, and once the cup is open and the straw exposed the liquid usually falls out. But the cup is very strong and there's a place for adults to press if the child is unable to pull properly from the straw. Hope this helps.

To reduce the likelihood of a leak, I use a long straw, if available. The cup does not come with anything to close the hole, so the cup should not be tilted.

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.

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.

The lid has a lever on it, it the lever is up it is open, down it is closed. Works fine used this several months and no leak at all. The lid screws on and you use it like any other mobile cup.

yeah if you shake them up side down they will leak but my kids dont shake there cups upside down so i didnt see that as an issue for me. but any sippy cup will do that. there really is no such thing as a 100 percent free leak cup i wish there was.

I'm not sure I understand the ?. Of course it leaks when you turn the top. Only load it when the top is tight. Is the silicon "straw" in the center?

There's a plastic domed lid that very tightly seals the bowl. Just don't put super hot liquids in it, and it's good for traveling. Yes, it goes on upside down, and unless you're concerned with the appearance of your food - soup, salad, rice - whatever else you'd want to put in it, it's a small price to pay for the cuteness. I haven't had any problems with leaks even when the bento is assembled for carrying. Best recommendation is just not to overfill it. Hope this helps! It's been one of my favorite Amazon purchases.

It does not leak out of the lid or the rubber grommet. Its a water tight fit. The straw is hard to get in the grommet tho. You have to get it wet first and twist it while you push it in the lid. Liquid will come out of the straw tho, but that part is expected. We love the lids.

No but it does leak from the straw and from the threads where the top screws on.
