A container lid for sealing an opening to a container may include a handle and a flip top that are each independently pivotable along the same axis. The handle can be secured to the container lid between a mount on the lid and the flip top. The handle supports the weight of the container and, because the handle is independently rotatable relative to the flip top, the handle will not inadvertently open the flip top.

1. A lid for a container comprising: a lid base having an opening for dispensing contents of the container;a mount comprising a first post and a second post;a handle comprising a first end with a first handle pivot and a second end with a second handle pivot; anda flip top for sealing the opening, the flip top comprising an elongated body with a first end for opening the flip top and a second end including a flip top pivot,wherein: the flip top pivot is disposed between and engages the first end of the handle and the second end of the handle,the first handle pivot is connected to a first receiving portion of the first post of the mount, the first handle pivot comprising a first protrusion that extends into the first receiving portion of the first post of the mount,the second handle pivot is connected to a second receiving portion of the second post of the mount, the second handle pivot comprising a second protrusion that extends into the second receiving portion of the second post of the mount,the first end of the handle is sandwiched between a first end of the flip top pivot and the first post of the mount and the second end of the handle is sandwiched between a second end of the flip top pivot and the second post of the mount,a first protrusion on the first end of the flip top pivot extends into a first opening in the first end of the handle and a second protrusion on the second end of the flip top pivot extends into a second opening in the second end of the handle,the handle and the flip top are each independently pivotable relative to the lid, andthe handle and the flip top are each independently movable about a common axis. 2. The lid of claim 1, wherein the first and second protrusions of the first and second handle pivots comprise cylindrical protrusions that extend in opposite directions. 3. The lid of claim 1, wherein the first protrusion on the first end of the flip top pivot is inserted into the first opening in the first end of the handle and the second protrusion on the second end of the flip top pivot is inserted into the second opening in the second end of the handle. 4. The lid of claim 3, wherein the first and second ends of the handle deflect inwardly to allow the first and second protrusions of the first and second handle pivots to be inserted into the first and second receiving portions in the first and second posts of the mount. 5. The lid of claim 1, wherein the handle comprises a loop, the first opening in the first end of the handle and the second opening in the second end of the handle comprise circular openings, and the first and second protrusions on the first and second ends of the flip top pivot comprise coaxial cylindrical protrusions that extend from the flip top pivot in opposite directions. 6. The lid of claim 1, wherein the handle is pivotable around an axis of the mount; and wherein the flip top is pivotable around the axis of the mount. 7. The lid of claim 1, wherein the flip top pivot comprises an at least substantially solid body and prevents the first and second ends of the handle from being squeezed together. 8. The lid of claim 1, wherein the mount includes at least one rail over which a groove in the handle is positioned to hold the handle in a particular orientation relative to the mount. 9. The lid of claim 8, wherein the at least one rail includes a first rail on an inside of the first post; and wherein the groove is positioned on a surface of the first end of the handle that faces the inside of the first post. 10. The lid of claim 8, wherein the at least one rail includes multiple rails on an inside of the first post; and wherein the handle includes multiple grooves positioned on a surface of the first end of the handle that faces the inside of the first post. 11. The lid of claim 1, wherein the opening in the lid base is a spout into which a downwardly extending protrusion of the flip top is inserted to seal the opening. 12. A container comprising: a bottle; anda lid for sealing an opening of the bottle, the lid comprising: a lid base having an opening for dispensing contents of the bottle;a handle comprising a first end with a first handle pivot and a second end with a second handle pivot; anda flip top for sealing the opening in the lid base, the flip top including a flip top pivot comprising: a first protrusion that is disposed in a first receiving portion of the first end of the handle; anda second protrusion that is disposed in a second receiving portion of the second end of the handle, wherein the first and second protrusions extend from the flip top pivot away from each other; anda mount connecting the handle and the flip top to the lid base, the mount comprising: a first post including a first receiving portion, the first handle pivot disposed in the first receiving portion of the first post; anda second post including a second receiving portion, the second handle pivot disposed in the second receiving portion of the second post;wherein the handle and the flip top are each independently pivotable within the mount. 13. The container of claim 12, wherein the flip top pivot comprises an at least substantially solid structure that prevents the first and second ends of the handle from being squeezed together. 14. The container of claim 12, wherein the handle supports a weight of the container and allows the container to be carried without creating an opening force on the flip top. 15. The container of claim 14, wherein the first and second ends of the handle deflect inwardly to allow the first and second handle pivots to be inserted into the first and second receiving portions in the first and second posts of the mount. 16. The container of claim 12, wherein the handle comprises a loop. 17. The container of claim 12, wherein the handle is pivotable about an axis of the mount; and wherein the flip top is pivotable about the same axis of the mount. 18. The container of claim 17, wherein the flip top pivot comprises a substantially solid body with the first protrusion on a first end of the body and the second protrusion on a second end of the body. 19. The container of claim 12, wherein the first post of the mount includes at least one rail and the first end of the handle includes at least one groove. 20. A container comprising: a bottle; anda lid that connects to a top of the bottle to seal the bottle, the lid comprising: a lid base comprising an opening for dispensing contents of the bottle and a mount that secures a handle and a flip top to the lid base;the mount comprising: a first post; anda second post;the handle comprising: a loop;a first handle pivot at a first end of the loop, the first handle pivot connected to the first post of the mount and disposed between the first and second posts of the mount; anda second handle pivot at a second end of the loop, the second handle pivot connected to the second post of the mount and disposed between the first and second posts of the mount; andthe flip top comprising: an elongated body with a first end for opening the flip top and a second end with a flip top pivot, the flip top pivot comprising a substantially solid structure with a first end and a second end;a first protrusion extending outwardly from the first end of the flip top pivot, the first protrusion disposed in a receiving portion of the first handle pivot; anda second protrusion extending outwardly from the second end of the flip top pivot, the second protrusion disposed in a receiving portion of the second handle pivot;wherein the flip top pivot is disposed between the first and second handle pivots of the handle;wherein the flip top is independently pivotable relative to the handle; andwherein the handle is independently pivotable relative to the flip top.
