Lunch/bento box with lidded compartments

12 replies

DD hates it when the juices of one food in one compartment spill over another compartment, so I am looking for a bento style lunchbox where the individual inside compartments have a lid. Any ideas?

How old is DD? We had great success with the Yumboxes but they're small and would only really be suitable for nursery / lower primary age.

She's 14 @ffscovid Smile

Thanks @Fivemoreminutes1 -that looks interesting but I feel I'd rather have individual lids for the different compartments...

I haven't seen a lunchbox with separate lidded compartments, but what about some sort of lunch bag with the lunch in separate lidded tubs?

I am like your daughter :)

I have an adult version of one like this - they have lots of colours/designs!

Have a look in TKMaxx, they usually have lots of lunch boxes. I got mine there, though I can’t for the life of me remember the make!

Definitely Yumbox. They do bigger ones for teens and adults. I’ve got them for all my kids and they are so well made and don’t leak between compartments even if I put in things like yoghurt/hummus. Worth every penny. Only gripe is they’re not the easiest to clean and you can’t put them in the dishwasher

Would she consider a stacked lunchbox like a tiffin? Or how about a thermos lunch bag with small individual pots inside?

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. The one that isn't dishwasher safe is a total no no. I know that it will be relegated to the cupboard after the first use. @DesperateDogDog yours is the most suitable, if only it was plain. Even though DD actually likes Mario, I think she prefers to keep that to herself Smile.

Mine is a sestemia bento box. It has lids. £8 most places.

I have a Yumbox for DS and put it in the dishwasher, it's always been fine - whoops!!
