How do you get water out of these lids?? When the plastic insert is in I can't evenget the water out. I loosened the lid and that didn't help either.

We poked through the holes with a knife to enlarge them- after that my daughter was able to suck lightly to get liquid out.... But it's still pretty much leakproof

I removed the plastic insert. My son was old enough to handle the faster flow. With the plastic insert in, it requires stronger suction and this slower stream.

I found that to be a big problem. My two year olds were getting frustrated trying to drink through the plastic valve, so I tried it myself. Even I, an adult, could barely get liquid through the valve, so I don't think babies/toddlers can. Without the plastic valve, the sippy cap is not leak proof. I returned my set to Amazon.

You need to "prep" the insert by pinching it open a few times. I also needed to make the slit bigger by carefully slicing it with a knife. I still can't tighten down the cap or it won't flow at ALL. I either have to leave the insert out or I keep the cap loosened, which my daughter can open if she is interested. I personally didn't like these sip caps, I know some have had success, but for me... I wouldn't buy again.

I never had this issue. My kids leaked all over the place all the time. But I did read another persons review with a similar issue. She had to cut a hole in the silicone to make it work.

I had the same problem. It has to do with the lid being secure and the latches in the proper position. Try taking the lid off and putting it back on then secure the latches as close to the front of the unit as possible. Takes a few times to get the hang of how to secure the latches. Cheers, Jeff.

Hi, I had the same problem for a few days.....finally I thought and thought and realized that the process works on vacuum seal. I majorly tightened the lid and the thing stopped overflowing! They should tell us that. Hope yours works well.

If pressurized remove pressure before opening, if gravity feed then use some food grade grease around lip of lid. These lids are always tough to open, this model or others in my experience as they are meant to be leak free. Otherwise this is a great product, mine has been in service on a spring for 8 months now with no problems, and thanks for reminding me to check on my basket which I have not done in awhile. : )

I turn the lid so that there's nowhere for liquid to come out of. Make sure the opening isn't at the spout and it should work.

I have same problem, It is not the lid but the "O" ring. The "O" ring becomes swollen and then makes the lid hard to shut. However I have replaced with a new one and it is still hard to remove and install. I am in the process of trying to trouble shoot this problem so I can share with others what to do.

no there should be no water coming out. check to make sure the rubber seal is secure under the snap on lid and make sure you have it secured with the metal pin that locks into the semi round bar that goes across the top of the lid it should have a little resistance in order to completly lock it in. but mine has run for a year with no leaks.

I can't get mine out either. I will try what you said and see if I can get it out. Thanks!

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

Lol!!! Yours was probably dried out. I just slid my fingernail in the lid opening and pop it right up

I have the same problem as the others here. I have to use a still-son wrench to get mine off. I have applied pool lubricate to the lid but it has not helped. It would be interesting to have the manufacture respond to this problem on this forum. How about it Amazon?

That happens when the lid gets misplaced... try rotating the lid... works for me..

You need to twist it off. it is kind of tricky, but just be patient and hold the bottom part and twist the lid. if you look at the lid, you can see there is a part that locks on the bottom part.

Remove the strap (I'm sure you did that already but just in case) and put your hands on either side of the lid where the strap used to be. Use your fingers to push in the plastic tabs and lift up. The lid should come right off. The plastic tabs on the lid fit into slots on either side of the base.

I found it easier to take the lid apart once I realized I need to pull the top off, not try to pry the bottom. I'm talking about the very top part of the lid. Just pop it from the rest. Once my husband showed me, I had to laugh at how frustrated I had been trying to get it apart. Good luck.

I unsnap the lids and leave them setting loose on top of the container. I suppose if you are worried about the whole plastic issue you could instead cover with a paper towel. Whatever you do, just do not microwave with the lids locked on.

It just pulls out. At least mine did. Try running hot water over the plastic for a minute or 2 to get it to expand a bit then turn the unit upside down, lightly tap the bottom a couple times, hold the glass in one hand & pull up on the plastic (while twisting) with the other hand. Dont force it tho!!!!! Its glass & can break. But this worked for both of mine.
