Does it leak badly if it's tilted and the straw is still out? My toddler wont close it everytime. I cant find a straw sippy cup that doesnt leak!

yes it does leak a little when turned on its side and the cap/straw is in the open position. The leak is several drops so if it is in a backpack or against paper, yes the paper will get wet. I use it as an adult drinking cup beside the bed - so it is great for me.

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.

The liquid will stream out slowly. It doesn't drip out like other cups. I only put water in this cup now.

Yes, it does leak when the straw is out and the bottle is tilted. I had the munchkin ones that don't leak, they seem to have a stopper at the base of the straw that only opens when the baby starts drinking but the bottles are small about 7oz size I think. I like the OXO bottle though, because it is big and the material used is different compared to other bottles

No it doesnt leak, maybe a drop or 2, i have the same problem with my kids. It's a good cup for kids.

It leaks enough to make a mess :( In addition, my toddler bit off parts of the straw.

We only ever use the straw valve and the straw, but I only give my daughter water in these so I don't worry too much about leaking. They will leak out if tipped upside down, but I still really love these sippy cups and we never leave the house without one.

I think it does, but the beauty is it doesn't spill (unless your child starts chewing on the nipple and it breaks). It's the only sippy cup my son would take. ONLY ONE.

Yes, it is. Also, FYI, I am unhappy with the small hole on top, plus space around the straw that allow leaking if it tips or falls over. I read others note this & thought it would not be a problem for me, but it has been. Currently looking for one like this (I like all the other features.) w/o holes on top.

I haven't had a problem with a leaky straw. Whatever is left in the straw from the previous sip will come out, but that's been it for us. It is not that hard to get water out as long as you don't have it filled up all the way

Child has to suck to get it out, but not super hard like some sippy cups we've had. However, after having ours for about six months, the no spill valve has broken and it pours out. I could just replace it with another valve, but I probably won't bother since I don't let him walk around the house with it to spill it anyway. We only use ours for water because I'm not fond of things that need a bottle brush to reach inside, I never feel like it gets it clean enough anyway. I suppose you could put it in the dishwasher however, which would be easy enough. Overall, I like this sippy cup a lot and would recommend it as one of the better, if not the best sippy cup we've ever used.

It depends....my pediatrician recommended starting my son on sippy cups by his 1st birthday. I started with the sippy part and after 3 days he got it so I moved to the straw and thst only took him one day. However, this cup is horrible for the straw...yes it taught my son howto use it but the pressure bbuild-up made the milk always come up the straw and pour out all over the place. I recommend Munchkin click and lock cups, theyv have a straw cup to and no matter how many times it gets dropped it never leaks! Hope this helps.

No. It is not leak proof when the straw is in the lid. It is leak proof when the straw is not in the lid. The leak is a slow dribble, so if you knocked it over by accident it wouldn't leak very much.

I have not had an issue with spills or leaking unless my daughter pinches the straw and turns the cup upside down, which she's only done once! Otherwise it's been really effective!

I usually only fill it part way and my daughter (8months) is able to get liquids out. The cup does not leak either if filled to the top

No. When the straw is in the closed position, a little gap opens up behind it so that even when closed, there is a small opening on the top of the bottle. If the bottle is on its side, it will leak. I have found the OXO kids twist water bottle to be more leak proof: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Twist-Water-Bottle-Ounce/dp/B00ANJIE42/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1408022097&sr=8-3&keywords=oxo+water+bottle

Yes, my first one leaked so I bought another and the second one leaks too. I may return it, or just use them in the car where they will remain right-side up all the time. Also, even when upright if the mouthpiece is open then warming air in the bottle will push a LOT of water up and out of the straw and all over your cupholder area. So if you use it in the car make sure to close it. I'd never carry one of these in a backpack. Water does really taste better though, so I'll accept the limited usefulness.

Hi April, yes, it will leak if you tipped over with the straw in because there is a secure dispositive that is open when you put the straw, only without the straw, the shaker is closed.

It doesn't spin to close. It will leak if tipped over. It works for my needs, but may not for you if you need something that doesn't leak. I always use a straw as I only use it for cold beverages...not a coffee drinker. It doesn't tip easily, and the handle helps keep it stable and easy to hang on to.

Yes, it has a hard plastic straw that is suspended straight down into the cup, and then that straw fits into a rubber disk and straw piece that sticks through a hole in the lid. When the top of the lid is closed, the upper rubber straw tip is pinched closed so that the straw does not leak. It does not have a traditional sippy-cup valve, so the child must sip through the straw just as they would with a normal straw. I hope that helps!

Yes- there is no rattling and the straw stays in place. You can kind of tell in the picture there is a flap inside so when you pull the straw out it seals so nothing spills out. Best cup ever!

The hole is small and doesn't leak too much if you tip it upside down, but my daughter pushes the nipple on the floor (purposely) and it leaks all over. Problem is that she only will drink milk from those cups and those nipples!
