Are you supposed to take out the short soft straw from the orange top and if so HOW do you get it out?

its not easy but you can get it out. you need to pull really hard from the bottom. it gets easier after a few times. wasn't sure myself but it just didn't seem right that it didn't come out.

Yes. You can pull the short straw out from the under side of the lid. When putting back in, there is a little groove that pops back in. Just make sure it's lined up and you will feel the "click" when it's in place. I remove and run through dishwasher frequently. Very simple to take apart and put together. Hope this helps. I have 2 of these cups and love them! My daughter has been using them since she was about 12 mo (now 2).

I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think it comes apart for easy cleaning. Sorry. I personally do NOT recommend this product. Difficulty cleaning is one of the many reasons why.

It has a small slot on the top side of the lid, so I guess you could put a straw in there. It looks like it's more to sip out of.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

The top lid pops off from the bottom part holding the filter -- ours was so loose it kept falling out -- so we had to bend it out a little to hold in the filter. Just use a screwdriver or something -- should come right out. Hope this helps.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all.

I dont think you are doing something wrong , mine locks in tight and i havent had this problem. As long as thermos is in its place it should not be able to come out. You might need a replacment

Push the button on top and remove the lid. You should be able to pull the collector right up out of there.

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.

The straw holder screws into the knob on the top. But it can be done. (I use it to hold dry pasta, looks retro chic in my kitchen) unscrew the knob, remove straw holder, super glue knob back on, wipe excess super glue off following day with q-tip and nail polish remover! Viola! Hope that helps

you don't. the part where you drink out of is not big enough for a straw. unless you use a fast food drink type straw, which would be like way to small.

I have trouble with taking it apart also. The best way is to switch the orange sliding switch all the way to left to release the clear top. Take that off and grab a hold of the white section with they blade and lift and wiggle/ shake til it releases. It's a pain but for a cheaper small juicer not to bad. Hope that helps:-)

I also used a pipe cleaner (the kind with a few metal strands also works best), to stick in the folding plastic part (not the bite valve). As this gets gunked up also. If you take the long plastic straw off, you can actually get the pipe cleaner all the way through, and you can pull it back and forth. I love this bottle also, but it is something you need to keep up with the cleaning on.

It does come apart but takes a little bit of effort. You can even replace the straw when it gets worn out.

I take it apart and use a straw brush... I also have replacement straws and replace them periodically.

You can remove the straw but the hole can not be closed. It's not a travel mug infuser.

Yes!!!! For that reason I will never buy again. I have two they both pop out. U really need to shove straw in to get it to stay slightly longer

Hi, the straw is part of the inside cover (cannot be completely detached). However if it breaks off the bottle can still be used as the liquid still flows through the nozzle without any leaks or spills.
