Best Kids' Lunch Boxes of 2025

"I've been using this lunch box for three years now, and I alternate between two sets. The insert is dishwasher safe and keeps food at the right temperature. No leaking issues, and it’s easy to clean with a bottle scrubber. It holds the perfect amount of food, which has worked well for my child from VPK to 1st grade."

"I recently got the Bentgo Kids Prints Bento-Style Lunch Box for my little one, and I'm thrilled with it! The portion sizes in the five compartments are just right, and it encourages my child to try different foods. Plus, it's leak-proof, so no mess in the bag! The design is vibrant, and my child loves showing it off to friends. I highly recommend it!"

"This lunchbox is perfect for my grandson! I can pack a variety of snacks, and it keeps everything organized. He loves having multiple options, and I appreciate how neat it keeps his food. It's a great size for both of us, and the durability is impressive!"

"I’ve found the Bentgo Kids Chill Lunch Box to be a game-changer! The built-in ice pack is such a smart addition, keeping my child's lunch cool and fresh until lunchtime. The compartments allow for portion control, which encourages a balanced meal without overpacking. Plus, the leak-proof design means I can add different foods without worrying about spills. It's sturdy, easy to clean, and kid-friendly in both design and durability. I highly recommend it!"

"We've been using these lunch boxes for months, and they’re fantastic! They fit our needs perfectly, especially for our child with special needs starting kindergarten. The compartment sizes work great for our lunch variety, and the ice tray is so convenient. It eliminates the need for traditional ice packs, making it easier for our child to access their food independently. The dishwasher-safe inner tray is a huge plus, and I can confidently send applesauce or yogurt without leaks. Definitely recommend!"

"I am really enjoying my new Bentgo Lunch Box! The addition of the ice pack is a game-changer for keeping lunches fresh. The redesigned flap mechanism is also impressive; it now opens to 90 degrees, saving space on the table. I appreciate the streamlined four-compartment layout, which optimizes space and is easier to clean. Overall, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I wholeheartedly recommend this versatile and efficient lunch box!"

"I absolutely love this lunchbox! The compartments are well-sized and make meal portioning super convenient for snacks, sandwiches, or desserts. The secure seal keeps everything fresh and prevents spills, even with cupcakes. It's also affordable! I bought another one last year that I'm still using. Cleaning is super easy since you can wash the food tray separately, and it’s dishwasher safe! Highly recommend!"

"I needed a lunchbox that would fit in my child’s Pottery Barn Kids lunchbox, and this does perfectly. It easily accommodates an uncrustable sandwich, along with fruit, chips, and a treat. I appreciate the removable divider and that it’s dishwasher safe! It’s also very user-friendly for little hands and looks adorable!"

"I recently bought the Bentgo Pop Bento-Style Lunch Box for my older child. The vibrant coral and teal colors are appealing, and the bento-style layout with a removable divider is great for portion control. The leak-proof feature is impressive, allowing me to pack sauces without worry. Plus, it’s microwave and dishwasher safe, making reheating and cleaning a breeze! However, the compartments are somewhat shallow, which might limit what I can pack."

"I bought this lunchbox for my 11-year-old daughter who wanted something leakproof and bento-box style. The compartments hold a nice variety of items, making lunches fun and easy. We’ve packed everything from sandwiches to sushi rolls. I love that it’s easy to clean and stays cool until lunchtime. My only concern is the latches, which I worry may break over time, but they’re fine so far."

"I was looking for a lunchbox that would last longer than a school year while minimizing plastic use. I chose the all steel option for its versatility, and my kids had fun decorating theirs with stickers. They fit perfectly in the PackIt Freezable Classic Lunch Boxes. I prefer to hand wash them, but occasionally use the dishwasher. Great customer service when I had an issue with one latch!"

"We have tried many lunchboxes, but I think this one is the best. It’s versatile, completely leakproof, and easy to wash. My not-so-careful 7-year-old has used it all year with no scratches or dents. The only downside is that it’s a bit heavy, so it might be better for Grade 1 and up."

“I’ve found this lunchbox to be fantastic for my child. It’s completely leak-proof and has held up well over the past year. We were so impressed that we bought a second one. It allows me to prepare one lunch while the other is in the dishwasher. The container is easy for kids to open but secure enough to stay closed, even when bouncing around in a backpack. It’s durable and has a drop-proof design, perfect for young kids.”

“After using this lunchbox for a couple of months, I must admit I was skeptical at first because of the price. However, when I dropped the outer portion on the floor, I expected it to break, but it only lost a few snaps. It was a bit of a hassle to fix, but now it’s as good as new. I highly recommend it for its durability, especially for kids and clumsy parents!”

“I’ve been using this lunch box for over two years, and it’s the complete package! It’s durable, leak-proof, and encourages kids to eat a variety of foods. I even use the center compartment for vitamins, ensuring I never forget them. It stays leak-proof even with liquidy items, and the outside cover is easy to clean by hand. I’ve had a great experience with customer service; they quickly sent me a replacement when I had an issue with the hinges.”

"I got two of these on sale for $5 each and it was totally worth it! The silicone insert creates a waterproof seal which I've tested with various foods. Zero leaks! I love the included utensils, but the coating started to wear off after a few weeks. It's a bit heavy but overall, a great product!"

"This lunch box is great for field trips. It keeps food fresh and is very easy to clean. I haven't had any leaks so far, which is a huge plus."

"I'm really happy with this lunchbox. It has lots of compartments and my son loves it for kindergarten. It doesn't leak with juicy fruits and the fork and spoon are built-in. My only concern is that it's a bit heavy for my 4-year-old's backpack."

"I absolutely love these trays! I send my kids' lunches in them every day. Before finding them, I packed their food in multiple tiny containers, which led to a lot of dishes. These Bentgo trays are durable, easy to clean, and store well. They fit perfectly in lunchboxes and hold plenty of food. The snapping lids are a plus too—tight enough to seal but easy for little hands to open!"

"After searching for an affordable kid lunch box, I found this one and I couldn't be happier. The durability and ease of use make it perfect for my needs. The price is excellent, and the vibrant color is a nice touch. The portion size is just right for my child's school lunch!"

"I bought this for my two-year-old for outings. I chose it for the many compartments—perfect for offering a variety of foods. While the tabs for the lid are a bit tricky for me, I appreciate the compact size. It holds enough food for my toddler and even a snack for me!"

"My son loves this lunch box! The two sections are great for separating cold items from snacks. It's been holding up well even with my 9-year-old's rough handling."

"I bought this for my 6-year-old, and he adores the design. It has lasted six months with regular cleaning, which is a big plus!"

"I ordered this for my grandson, a huge Star Wars fan. The size and price are right, but I expected it to last longer than just a month before the seams started coming apart."

"This is my third Bentgo Box purchase. I started with the Bentgo Kids, and it worked wonderfully from pre-school through first grade. Now, I have the Bentgo Fresh and Stainless Steel models, and I LOVE them all. They’re easy for kids to use, truly leakproof, and I can pack everything neatly without worrying about small containers. It’s eco-friendly and saves me money! The variety keeps my kids interested, and cleanup is a breeze."

"My son enjoys his lunch box in his favorite color. It’s easy to open, has good-sized compartments, and keeps everything insulated and leak-proof. We can fit snacks alongside sandwiches, which is perfect for him!"

"I’ve tried many lunch boxes, but with this one, I can prep lunch the night before without worrying about food going bad. It fits perfectly in his Super Mario lunch bag, and I love how easy it is to clean. The quality is top-notch, and my son loves it just as much as I do!"

"I think this bento box is perfect for little kiddos! It's just like the picture and feels well-made. The included ice pack is small but manages to keep our food cold for a couple of hours. It's just the right size for my 2.5-year-old, but I’m unsure if it would suit an older child who eats more. Overall, I believe this is worth the buy!"

"I received this item through the Amazon Vine program and was a bit disappointed with the color; it’s more of a peach/pastel than I expected. However, the bento box itself is very durable, and being able to microwave it is a great bonus. It has multiple wells for packing a variety of snacks and my son says everything stays fresh and warm/cool based on what we pack."

"I got this for my 4-year-old, and she can open and close it on her own, which is fantastic. The size is just right for small kids and lunches. The gel pack is a nice addition, and it’s easy to clean and fits in a lunchbox perfectly!"
