My Thoughts:
Whilst the Yumbox is expensive, I’ve found it to be amazing for my pre-schooler and toddler. My toddler has the 6 compartment, which fits at least one sandwich and many snacks. My pre-schooler has a 4 compartment, so that I can fit in two sandwiches as well as snacks. Because each lunchbox has compartments that seal individually, I find they keep the food fresh ALL day. Even apples only go a little brown. Also, the size of them may not be appropriate for a school-aged child who may eat more.
Durability:
I find the Yumbox lunch boxes to be extremely durable, as I have personally dropped them several times on concrete (and I’m sure my kids have too).
Cleaning:
The only downside to these lunch boxes (other than the price) is the fact that they can be a pain to clean / dry. HOWEVER because there’s only ONE insert to clean, it makes it less annoying than those with a million additional containers / dividers to clean.
The Apple / Yoghurt Test:
NO – you can’t fit a full sized apple OR yoghurt pottle in these. However, you can cut the items up (or empty a pottle of yoghurt into the compartment) and it will still keep them fresh because the compartments seal individually.
Can my 3 year old open it? YES
Can my 5 year old open it? YES
