Can you pour/squeeze filtered water into another container (e.g. kid's sippy cup)? Or does the water have to be sucked out by your mouth as you drink?

You can squeeze filtered water from the bottle, but you definitely can't just pour it out. It's pretty decently leak proof. Unless you suck water out or give it a good squeeze, the water stays put inside the bottle.

Yes, it is kinda different because you actually have to suck on the cup to get the liquid out. A child should b able to do this. My 12 month old can drink out of this cup, but he turned it upside down and it spilled out. I don't know if I didn't put it together right or if I got a faulty cup.

Yes - the filter inserts into a plastic straw, and you can simply take the filter out and insert the straw back in and you'll be able to drink with no filter without a problem. This works great when you're already drinking filtered water!

Yes..it has a feature on the lid that allows you to drink from this without removing the lid..and also the lid can be removed to pour into the cup..

You can just suck like normal straw. The spout has a soft rubber surround on it but I think it's just for comfort and ease of drinking.

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!

the filter just sits in there. I have never had an issue of it coming out when pouring.

We get our water bottles from Lowe's. (Primo) It's already filtered. I haven't heard of many people using a system like this for transporting tap water, but if you did that you'd obviously have to install a tap water filtration system at your sink, or purchase a dispenser that includes filtration (usually not the bottle fed variety.)

You can't drink out of this particular water bottle without making contact with the built-in straw. You have to bite down on it to get the water to flow through. Hope that helps!

Yes. The filter extends down into the bottle. Without it, there is no way to draw water up into the device.

You can use it without the filter and yes, there are solid caps for both, so as not to leak. If you choose just to scoop out debrit and use a small chlorine floater when kids aren't in it, you should be fine. Small amount if chlorine is highly recommend, otherwise it will get slimy. This holds a good amount of water ...you most likely don't want to refill it more than once every 8 weeks if it keeps clean. Enjoy!

Yes. You can drink directly from the bottle, I guess you can use the inside bottle cover as sipping that has a small hole for pouring coffee or tea. But I would not recommend to buy this bottle because it was coated with Teflon and it's very, very hard to to clean after few uses, it's very easy to get dirty inside that's impossible to clean it, buy a Stainless steel bottle instead.

The filter is replaceable. Therefore, it can be taken out, and the bottle still be used and drink from the straw. Hope this helps you out.

Yes you can. I personally have an Camelbak Eddie (that I bought from LL Bean, it was my first Camelbak) that I use for my tea and I keep my filtered ones for water. But I just tested it with water and yes it works.

I tried the spout out. Baby still needs to suckle to drink out of bottle. However, without the valve, the flow is faster than a regular bottle. The spout is also more like a sippy cup to get them ready to transition to a cup with a harder spout.

Although you can squeeze the bottle, it is not necessary to do so to take a drink. You can just turn the bottle up and suck in to draw in the liquid. Hope that helps.

There is a soft rubbery valve insert that goes into the inside of the lid and the straw is inserted into it. It is fairly easy to clean, and the kids have no problem drinking from it. The straw is very hard plastic and is therefore not collapsible, and it is cut at an angle to allow it to rest flush with the bottom of the cup and access the entire contents. We love these cups- just make sure they aren't shaken if the lid isn't closed as they will sprinkle liquid all around if so.
