Silicone Bento Box

I bought this bento box more than 4 years ago, as my 1 year old was starting daycare and (I think) ABC was just getting started. While we've added a couple more to our collection, we have used this one 2-3 times per week, every week for the past 4 years. After hundreds of uses, we're starting to see the earliest signs of cracking in the corners on the inside of the lid, but I expect years more use before they become problematic. It's versatile, leak-proof, easy to clean, and stackable. It's become my go-to gift for new parents, and one of very few brands that I follow and share to friends and family. It's on my must-have list as a parent to young kiddos.

I wanted to like these so badly! They are pretty as can be. However I’ve only been using mine two months and they now develop black mold-like spores when they run through the dishwasher, even if I pull them out immediately. I have to toss them all and buy new lunch boxes early in the school year.

We've been using this bento box for over three years now, and it’s hands-down the most durable, reliable one we’ve found. It’s super easy to clean, never leaks or spills, and can truly survive just about anything, including being forgotten on the roof of a car, falling off, and getting run over! 😅 (We retrieved it from the road and it is still fully functional!) As a preschool teacher, I also have to point out one of the biggest wins: it’s one of the only lunch containers my students can open and close entirely on their own. That level of independence for little ones (and one less thing for teachers to open!) is a huge plus. If you're looking for a kid-friendly, dog-surviving, car-resistant bento box, this is the one. 😊
