Stainless steel lunch boxes for kids

[Anonymous]

Hi..
I am looking for stainless steel lunch boxes for kids. My kids are little so pyrex glass isn't an option, otherwise I would have used those.
Stainless steel lunch box should be preferably flat, non-spill, should not rust, easy to open, have at least 2 compartments and should not cost an arm and a leg.
Any suggestions?

We use a Bentgo brand bento lunchbox which I think
Is awesome. The other one I’ve hard of that’s stainless steel is planetbox. I have no direct experience with it .

Planetbox. They are expensive but last. My 12 yr old is still using the one I got her when she went off to preschool at 3. I’ve had to replace they carry case, but the stainless steel lunchbox is worth the money. Get the rover. Best for all ages

Being Japanese and loving good design, I bought very simple stainless steel bento boxes for my kids on Amazon, with a silicone ring set in the lid to prevent spills, and they served my kids well from elementary to high school. Alas, they are not sold anymore on Amazon. I really liked how smooth they were, which made clean-up really easy. No grooves of any kind. If I had to buy some again, I'd pick something smooth and simple like that. I also bought replacement silicone rings, as they tend to dry out and snap over the years.

Same on all counts. 7th grader and 3rd grader, both got one in daycare, both still look brand as new.

Lunchbots are good. We’ve had ours for 4 years now and they’re still going strong.

The compartments look small and shallow though. Can it hold a full size sandwich?

Yes it can. Depending on the bread, you may have to trim a bit of crust off of the slices are oversized. But the top and the bottom have compartment spaces so you can overfill it and it can still close when they meet together

+1 Same - bought in preK. My kids used until they lost them - one in 8th and one in 9th. The teachers loved them because they opened so easily.

OP just reading and yes, they are expensive, I think I paid $50 11 years ago. But so easy to clean too compared to individual boxes (which we got later when they lost them in HS).
