Not quite leakproof

My son received this water bottle as a gift and as cute as it is, it's not quite leak proof. The water tends to collect on the top of the lid and often when you pull the spout to open it, water shoots out at you.
Also, I don't like how you have to pull the spout up, I like the quick release style.
It is easy to clean though, I can at least say that and has a nice handle for carrying.
