Does it leak if it's on its side or turned upside down?

No it doesn't leak. I have had this water bottle on its side in the same bag as my laptop - no issues.

nope! my kids have been taking them to school in their bookbags and tossing them in the car and AS LONG AS THEY ARE LATCHED, they don't leak AT ALL!

My bottle is defective, so it leaks even when it is on the side. The locking mechanism doesn't work at all

I bought this one specifically because it stated leakproof as it's most popular feature. I had another for about 1 year which I occasionally used, then it started leaking. This one I put in my pocketbook without a worry,

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.

Yes, not a great design. It is always upright, but plumbers tape has solved the leaking problem this time. Suggested by the Tyrent tech guy.

I don't think so. The lid does not fit that tight. It doesn't leak when drinking with it on the cup but I think it would leak if turned upside down.

While holding it upright it does not leak. I store mine frozen standing up in a cup in the freezer and when you hold them while eating they do not leak. Never tested them laying down or inverted - didn't want to take the chance!

I tested each one filled with water. Two leaked, one didn't. There are always slight differences in items like this. If you are going to turn them upside down or sideways, test each lid first to make sure.

It has a drain when the drain hose is unhooked & lowered. If its on a hard or firm surface & not over filled it should'nt spill.

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.

If the lid isn't on just right, the seal leaks very easily when the cup is tipped. It doesn't leak much upside down though.

as long as it's not in your backpack or somewhere where it could get squeezed by accident. It's not really 100% leak proof, but if you put it down sideways nothing will come out.

I didn't know but you made me curious. I put water in one and it did have a slow drip when I turned it on it's side. The tops are snug, but not totally leakproof.

No. It's only for use while feeding. You put it on one side as baby feeds on the other and it catches whatever you leak.

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.

It does not leak at all, I can hold it upside down and shake it and nothing leaks. And that is after several months after using it, so the seal does not deteriorate. I don't know the answer to your second question as I always wash it after using it.

No, only if the bottle is upside down it leaks out. But have not had any other problems with leaking. Even considering the force i put on them to get the air out. Biggest mess i have had with these was a 3am feeding when i was half asleep..i poured the formula into it before i put the liner!! And if you do use these its cheapest on Amazons subscribe and save.

Ive using mine for about a year. It can be rotated and moves if you turn it. As long as it doesn't leak , I'm ok.

No, it does not turn. Like other commenters have said though, it also does not leak. I'd recommend getting this and just making sure you have a block to put under it when you store it. like a small empty box. When you sanitize it, place the spout over the drain. When you use it, keep the spout hanging over the counter. Simple solutions really.

I haven't had a leaking problem, but decided to experiment to answer your question. I filled it and put it on its side overnight - no leaking. However, when I vigorously shook it upside down, there was some dribbling. I've been very happy with this bottle so far.
