Just figured I should post a review of these lunchboxes (http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/spencer-bento-box-containers/?cm_re=12HolD1-_-Hero-_-GOTDBentoBoxes) ...got them during that holiday deal last month and so far we really like them.. kids have been taking them to school everyday and they have held up well.
Pros:
-all one piece. no lids, tiny containers for daycare (or me) to lose, no having to label ten different containers/lids in my kids lunch. this is a huge plus!! we went through a few other lunchboxes and the school lost a few pieces, and i hated having to label everything (lids, small containers, etc) and keep track of them all.
-lots of compartments (5) to separate everything
-lidded container keeps things like fruit, hummus etc from getting other things (crackers, sandwich, etc) soggy.
Cons:
-it's fairly big and square. i'm sure it would be big enough for an older elementary school kid. may be a little hard to find a insulated lunchbox big enough to fit it.
-it's a little bit hard to wash inside of it since there are so many divided areas..inside walls can get a little greasy and it's hard to get in there and wipe each side down. but it's not too bad
Anyway, with these i've been having a ball making their lunches...it makes it easy to look appealing to kids and the kids have actually been eating all of their lunch at school (whereas they barely eat their dinner at home!). DS often asks for a "train sandwich" or a "car cheese" for lunch.
