Lunchbots question

[Globetrotter]

I'm looking for containers that are leak proof. Lunchbots has some round ones that work. But I was wondering, for the rectangular divided containers, I know they are not leak proof but people use silicone baking cups in them. Does that actually work to keep fruit juices from going over to other compartments? Wouldn't they leak out of the container itself? I would probably use the round leakproof ones for stuff like watermelon, but maybe grapes and carrots etc. would be fine in the regular ones.

Grapes or carrots would be fine. Strawberries or watermelon need leakproof. The issue is you put them in flat but then they are tilted in the backpack so things like strawberry or watermelon will seep into other compartments. Still love LunchBots though!

Carrots and grapes are fine in lunchbots.

I use lunchbots everyday with silicone baking cups. I send sliced strawberries and watermelon regularly. We haven't had any leaking into the other compartments.

I put in strawberries (whole, just cut off top), grapes, carrots, and pickles regularly with no problem.

Have they improved on the lunchbots recently?? I tried them about a year ago, and most of the lids were really loose fitting. Just jostling around in his lunchbox caused the lids to come off and food to spill all over his box. I ended up sending all of them back.

All of our lunchbots except one are tight-fitting. I think the loose one is old, so maybe they changed their design. I put a rubber band around the loose one.

Ok, this is helpful. In the new design, is the lid flush with the top of the dividers?

I don't think so - I think there's still some room. My silicone cups just somehow reach the top edge I think or are a little taller so squish down.

I can't trust my 6 yr old with a rubber band! lol

OK, so the trick is to buy silicone cups that go to the top. I think I'm sold on these! Thanks everyone for all the tips. I'll probably get some leakproof ones also for very watery stuff.

I believe the newer lids stay on, based on pp.
