I finally got this video done! yay! I hope this is helpful and answers all your questions about bento containers. Personally I can't wait for school to open and get back to routine (but I do love my kids haha)
In this video talk about my favorite ones, did a little comparison between the expensive bento containers and the more affordable ones and tried to edit it down as much as possible.

Great video! I love our sons yumbox. We are on the 3rd year now. No complaints really, if any, very minor things. Highly recommend the yumbox. As far as hot containers, I've had the best luck with the thermos brand. If he doesn't finish all his soup, and it comes home, his food is still very warm almost 10 hours later. Very impressed.

Thank you so much for creating this! I'm looking for a bento-style lunch box (for me) and I was overwhelmed with the sheer amount of products out there. But your video was so informative, and really helped me to narrow down my decision. I also loved the section on accessories and smaller containers for sauce, yoghurt etc.

So I fell down the KZfaq rabbit hole this evening and somehow I ended up watching an entire video on an obviously incredible Mom describing the best snack boxes. Lol. I was struck by how much love you put in their lunches. I was a latch-key kid that ate at school. If you're accepting applications for any 40+ year old adoptions.... I would happily line up to receive one of those lunches every morning. Lol. Cool channel keep it up.

We really like the bentgo fresh. It definitely is for teens and adults. It holds a lot more food compared to the bentgo kids. It holds like 4 cups of food. But it is also noticeably heavier than the kid version. My 13 year old daughter has two of them. She is petite and doesn't need a snack when she eats from her new bentgo,fresh. She doesn't mind the weight. She also loves the more mature and sophisticated style. It can hold a full sandwich or use it with the divider and create a fourth compartment. It doesn't have a dip space. This doesn't bother my kids because we always put condiments and dips in separate containers. BTW! I took the pink sistema container to work today. I love it. It holds a ton of food and I love the separate yogurt pot. Wonderful the price. It does fit in my kids lunch boxes. They have artic zone lunch boxes from Costco. It is also lighter than the bentgo fresh but doesn't look as sophisticated.

Sorry to hear that. I was actually considering buying the good byns but did not. Also another affordable option for younger kids is Easy lunch boxes. I have not tried those but have seen those being used on other mommy channels. I might get those soon to try. They are like 4 for $13 something but they are not leak proof. You can find them at Amazon.

I bought a few of the sistema containers. I bought that large three compartment one with a yogurt pot. I actually bought that for myself. If I like it I will get one for my husband. I also got that little syrup containers and the dip container. I also got two extra yogurt pots. My little guy has two bentgo containers. And my daughter has two of the larger bentgo fresh. But I was looking for some stuff for dips, syrups, and when they want to take a hot thermos. I will let you know how it goes. I was surprised how much the sistema snack attack container. I saw it at the grocery store for $7.

Lieu Hazelwood the large sistema ones are really good for adults and teens as it fits a lot of food. How do you like the Bentgo fresh container. I was thinking to try it next.

Bentgo or yumbox. There is container with attached lid. You won't be dealing multiple containers and lids getting lost. Once your child understands how to open and close, it's easy. My three year old granddaughter can open and close properly. Only you can decide the size. The smaller bentgo kids and smaller yumbox are appropriate for 3-7 year olds with enough slots for a protein, fruit, veg, snack and small treat.

@coolcalmandmom4896 7 жыл бұрын

destine2grow I know I was really heartbroken over those containers not working. I diligently used them for about 3-4 weeks and then started noticing the things I mentioned. That's the thing about ordering online you just never know and then can't return so easily. I am happy with those Aladdin containers for little kids. Idk if my high schooler will take hot lunches this year but I am on the look out for a little bigger thermal container for him.

@coolcalmandmom4896 7 жыл бұрын

Maybe you can try washing it and see if water comes out hours after, from the seal. But Honestly if I could still return those I would. It keeps the food hot the same amount as the Target Aladdin one does, plus I wouldn't take risk of stuff leaking out in the food, that really freaked me out. It was perfect in theory but not practical unfortunately. But again Idk if maybe the seal on mine was just not good.
