Unfortunately, the cup is not really leakproof. As long as he is transported in an upright, there is no problem, and the child may not be covered themselves while drinking (or keep diagonally), but tilts the cup around and is (for example, a long time in the case) already occurs a lot of water, also if it is assembled correctly.
At first I thought that would be the cup and have therefore bought a second, but it always seems to be so. We use the cup still daily and are satisfied on the whole.
