Please recommend toddler snack boxes

10 replies

I really need a snack box for my two toddlers

It has to be one with lots of compartments for various snacks. We do long car journeys a couple of times a week and snacks are the only thing that keep them from kicking up a ruckus.

I really like the look of the GoBe spinning ones but they will take too long to arrive via Amazon, is there anywhere in the Scottish Borders I could out them? Please help! Tia xxx

Yumbox are nice although we have one and rarely use it. I tend to just pack a one compartment lunchbox with a sandwich, piece of cheese, yoghurt and a piece of fruit if we're taking a lunchbox out with us. The yumbox is cute but the little compartments are too small. A sandwich and a banana is easier.

In theory I would agree, but my twins eat one bite of sandwich, one bite of banana and two raspberries and get bored, I just want something I can put fruit, dried cereal, cheese, crackers and whatnot into little compartments to keep them from getting bored

I think yumbox are the best for little things like that. Very sturdy. I've had humous and dips in it before and it never leaks.

I agree, for 10+ compartments either a craft box or a large ice cube maker with s lid.

I just went to hobbycraft and picked up some of their plastic boxes for beads etc - cost less than a fiver and perfect for this. Kind of like the snackle box trend on social media.

Please don't do this. This is unlikely to be made from food grade plastic...

Sounds like a meal not a snack!
