I just wanted to throw it out there with what I've found to occur with those jugs. If you look at those containers, the back 'relief valve' just pushes into the plastic behind the handle - at least mine did when I bought from Wally World. If you fill them up and they fall over, that little push in plug will pop out. These would NOT be good to store full under a bed. Keep safe.

It really helps seeing other moms deal with exactly what I deal with every day. I felt GREAT after watching your video.

Every one of them had the seams begin to leak after approx a year of water storeage useage. So, word of caution if you have/use those types of water containers - the seams are VERY weak and are not 'air tight'! I will never buy those types of containers again.
