We have the tupperware version and have been using them for about 12 months now. Both kids have one and DH has one too!

My only problem is if I fill all 4 compartments, it's too much for DD for a day at preschool, too much wastage. Today for example she had:

1 x multigrain sandwich with raspberry jam
sultanas
a tub of yoghurt

So there was one empty compartment.

Her preschool have asked us to pack their lunches in separate zip bags but I'm ignoring them! I didn't pay $20-30 (can't remember how much it was) for her lunchbox to then go and waste money on sandwich bags.

Ange - if we're going out for the day I pack a box for DS too, so Lulu's not too young to join in! I used to pack one for him when I worked part time and he went to MILs for the day. He probably ate more of his than DD did! LOL.

I'm not a fan of the tupperware ones, purely because you can't move around the sections. I want to see everyone elses pics too

Cai - Just checked out your pics and I don't geddit...what do you mean about moving the sections around? I thought you meant you could make the sections smaller/larger which would be cool, but yours look like 4 the same size??

willow i think with doing it with little containers you can choose the size of containers so it might not always be the same ones..

im shocked that the kindy asked for you so do it in zip lock bags... alot of schools are trying to stop plastic wraps and bags being used for the kids...

ETA i just looked on ebay and there are some beautigul ones there is a japanese one with cutters and little bottles..

ill put the link in but remove it if i shouldnt (I removed it, people can search ebay - Nelle xo)

DD - ahhhh, OK, now I geddit! LOL.

I think it's to do with fridge space, if every kid had a lunch box this size then it makes it harder for them to store the lunches properly apparently.

DS#1's preschool asked for small lunch boxes so I went out and bought one with a matching smaller container from K-Mart, an't think of the brand...Willow.....nah can't think of it but anyways.......every single Wednesday it is a major ask to fit his little lunch box and sometimes smaller container with fruit etc in it as all the other kids bring those cooler bags with Dora etc on them. Grrrrr - I get so mad!

LOVE the Bento idea! Cute and I bet it is great for fussy eaters. Wish they were around when I had to buy a lunch box......but having said that DS's lunch ox matches the colour of his preschool sheets he takes! lol

I just remembered the brand - Deco!!! Wow...have a headache now. Bahahaha!!!!

You can move them around or take some out. Which makes it easier for me. What I want is the Laptop Lunchbox (they are awesome, but also expensive!). You can also use Paper Cupcake cases as dividers for food too.
