Preschool Lunch Container--Your Recommendations, Please!

[Anonymous]

DD, who just turned 3, will be having lunch at her preschool summer camp. Please share your recommendations for lunch containers! Ideally, the container should have the following qualities:

1) An average 3 year old can open it by herself
2) Easy to clean (Big thumbs down to the Laptop Lunch kit with a dozen parts to keep track of and clean.)
3) Has compartments to keep types of food separated (e.g., blueberries separated from cheese cubes)

I don't plan on sending wet foods, so leakproof is not necessary (but, of course, a nice bonus).
Also, not so expensive that it's not a big deal if DD to loses it.

Thanks!

Easy lunchbox. It really is easy to open, has 3 divided areas. Fits well in a lands end soft sided cooler lunch box.

There are a bunch of cute preschool/camp friendly options today on Zulily. Pro-tip: buy several so you aren't doing dishes every night.

Munchkin has a divided container that's easy to open. It has a big section and a small section, and comes with 2 smaller cups with lids. I mostly don't use the extra parts unless I'm doing a dip or something, but I like having the option.

Ziploc makes a good 3 part lunch container. I bought all sorts of other ones but those are the ones I keep going back to over and over again.

Same here. I need to find a few more this summer.

We love this one from Pottery Barn. 2yo DS can open it himself. He's picky about combined food so having 5 sections is really nice. We have 2 so I can put one in the dishwasher and pack the other at night.

Planetbox. Easy to open and clean. Separate spaces for food. Stays cold.

Go to Amazon and Google lunch cube ( sorry I cannot figure out how to get the link from my iPad). Pair it with silicone square muffin holders ( also on Amazon).

One side of the cube has a lid. The other I tend to put a paper towel over to help hold the food in place.

I like lunch blox, but they are separate boxes for different foods, not one container. They snap together and also have a cold pack.
