How "spill-proof" are these? I am looking for water bottles to put in my kids lunch boxes, but they will need to lay side ways. Will they leak?

No leaking, the caps go on very tightly and securely BUT I imagine would be difficult for small kids to put back on.

I have used these bottles for all 3 of my kids for 4 months and haven't had a spill yet.

These are leak-proof. I've packed water and milk in them for the kids' lunches and never had an issue. (Except when the preschooler threw his away and I had to dumpster dive.)

Weve been using them for lunchboxes for 5 months... they go through the dishwasher and we've had zero spills so far

Yes. I usually add a rubber band to be sure. So far,No spills. I wouldn't jostle the lunch box around though. For example, if it is a kid, I wouldn't do it

I have used these in my lunchbox and have not had any leakage. I am using these as replacements for the black lidded rubbermaid containers that are no longer available. I like these and will order again.

I do not know for sure if they would leak. The lids are very nice though. I am sorry, I have not yet tried to see if they would leak while packed in a lunch bag.

I don't know about in a lunch box. I have four of these total (three year old twins), they get used all the time and the only time I have ever seen them leak was when my son shoved the mouth piece down into the thermos. They have been closed and thrown on the car floor and nothing leaked out.

I wouldn't risk it. They'll definitely leak eventually. They were pretty good brand new, but after a while they start to leak just laying on its side.

I have never had them leak and I've been using them for a year now. I've put fruit in them and the juice has never leaked. I own 3 sets of these containers and love them! Now that my son is getting bigger, I wish they made them in a bigger size.

Little spills will be fine. Large spills will come out through the seams on the bottom. Had this happen with my water bottles once.

Yes and no. I emptied out one of mine just now (the smallest one), filled it with water, and shook it fairly vigorously. In that case, it leaked somewhat. However, unless you really make an effort to cause leakage, spillage, I believe they would be fine. Sorry it took so long to respond! (Just saw the previous response; I believe I agree, in essence, though I think if you had one in a box or other container, AND didn't go through an earthquake (or similar), it would likely be "okay." Tupperware? might be better, or something similar.

Do you perhaps mean "leaK" proof? It would be an easy typo to make. If you really meant "leaD", I'd say it's highly unlikely to contain lead. If you meant "leaK", I'd be a little reluctant to try it; the lids fit snugly, but it's easy to not get an edge down firmly. I use them for yogurt bought a liter at a time and rarely transport a full one anywhere. I like them enough that when I broke one recently, I ordered a new set so'd have exactly as many as I need. Yes, they are glass and they can break; I dropped one on a laminate countertop from maybe 8" and it broke into a number of pieces of widely varying sizes, some quite sharp. Maybe not for a kid's lunchbox.

Yes! I take my lunch in one of these every day and put it at the bottom of my backpack. I don't baby my backpack when going to and from work so it moves around a lot and I have yet to get a leak from these at all.

Yes they do not leak. I bought a bunch of these containers in various sizes for my son as a fun like Christmas present a couple of years ago. My son is an avid fisherman and has been fishing for years so what he does with the containers is store the salmon fish eggs in them which he uses for bait. They get a lot of use and abuse and the containers are often in water warm and cold near the fishing streams.

My experience was that they were only leak proof if they remain total upright. I had so many things leak out of them including yogurt if they fell over!

No. They will leak if laid on the side. These jugs are not completely airtight.

We haven't had any leaking. But in the tipsy hands of my two year old it will spill out the top if the lid is off. :) we enjoy them outside!

Yes, these containers do leak, they are not air tight. Great for non-liquid items however.

yes, I lay mine on its side in my lunchbox every day. does not leak. but, 2 or 3 of the lids have cracked, possibly due to over tightening, I am not sure of that though. the holder is very nice and works well in door. good luck!
