Back to School: Lunchbox Gear

Part of starting school is packing a lunch. Packing a homemade lunch is often healthier than buying lunch at school. Having a cool new lunchbox, water bottle or food container makes packing a lunch fun. Think outside the brown paper bag and get some lunch gear that will protect your culinary creations, keep cold stuff cold and make it easy for your kids to enjoy their mid-day meal away from you. This is the best lunchbox gear you will find anywhere!


PlanetBox

The Gear

If you’re looking for a stylish way to send a healthy lunch to school that’s eco-friendly and practical, look no further than PlanetBox. The Rover is the perfect lunchbox for smaller children who prefer a wide variety of food with a smaller serving size.

Back To School: Lunchbox Gear 2 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

Back To School: Lunchbox Gear 3 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

It holds an impressive 4.5 cups worth of food, so it will grow right along with your child, year after year. It’s perfect for variety and versatility. It even has a space in the middle for a little treat, such as a handful of chocolate chips or a Justin’s PB Cup. Our favorite thing about PlanetBox is the fact that they utilize resilient stainless steel for all their bento-style boxes, so they are eco-friendly, dishwasher safe, BPA free, certified non-toxic, and have a 5 year warranty! Trust us, these boxes will last for an extremely long time. And, in the future if your child wishes to change up the look of his box, you can simply purchase a new magnet set and/or a new outer bag, to give it a fresh, customized look.

Add to the whole package with the BottleRocket Water Bottle, which has a soft plastic spout that isn’t noisy when he is sipping (his teacher will thank you!) and has a leak proof bottle and cap (his backpack and dry homework will thank you!). The Carry Bag comfortably holds their Rover box and water bottle and is made of durable fabric. The outside is 100% recycled polyester fiber. On the inside is polyester with TPU coating for convenient wipe down surface cleaning. It also has an adjustable strap, so it can grow right along with your child throughout the years, or be worn as a cross-body.

PlanetBox was born when parents Caroline and Robert Miros combined their unique talents to create PlanetBox. Robert is an engineer who has designed consumer and medical products for the past 15 years. Caroline has worked extensively on children’’s health education and environmental programs. They both share a passion for promoting the health of children and the planet. And they both pack their fair share of lunches! They craved something that was all-in-one, but had separate compartments to keep foods neat and fresh, as well as encourage healthy eating habits.

This school year be sure that you have all of the necessary lunchbox essentials with Hydro Flask. They have a wide selection of insulated water bottles as well as food storage containers to fit all different needs and age ranges. For younger children you can get them started with the 12 oz bottle. The small and convenient size is perfect for fitting in a young child’s lunch box. For older kids, especially those involved in sports, be sure to check out the 18 oz Wide Mouth or the 21 oz Standard bottles. They are great for throwing into a backpack or taking to sports practice. All of these bottles keep cold beverages cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 6.

Lifefactory

The Gear

Avoiding plastics may seem impossible when it comes time to pack lunch for your kids. You may think that plastic is the only safe and convenient option for school lunches, but you are wrong! Lifefactory has a line of glassware that makes packing a plastic-free lunch possible. You can pack your child’s lunch in glass with Lifefactory and it is actually safer and more convenient than plastic. 

Food storage from Lifefactory gives you plastic-free options for healthy lunches. Avoid the toxins that we all know exist in plastic. You don’t have to worry about your kids breaking the glass containers because these containers are covered in Lifefactory’s thick silicone skins that protect from accidental breakage. The lids seal tightly so you can pack confidently, knowing spills won’t be an issue.

Available in 1 cup, 2 cup and 4 cup sizes, you can use Lifefactory for family leftovers and for everyone’s lunch box. The silicone sleeves are beautifully designed.

Moms, Lifefactory has something special to make back to school easier for you, wine glasses! We are obsessed with these gorgeous wine glasses in their silicone sleeve. Go ahead and sip your chardonnay while chasing the kids around during homework time. Your glass won’t slip out of your hand with the brightly colored silicone sleeve.

Lunchbots

Back To School: Lunchbox Gear 15 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

The Gear

Until you are sending kids off to school with packed lunches, you hardly realize how many “accessories” are involved in the process. Lunchbots offers a wide variety of stainless steel options. They care as much about healthy containers as they do about the healthy food that goes inside. This year, instead of opting for traditional plastic containers, consider using stainless steel instead. Stainless steel contains no toxins, no BPA, and no phthalates. For this reason they won’t ever interact with or impart any taste or smell into the food inside. Also, unlike plastic these are built to last a lifetime! So you won’t be replacing them year after year.

Back To School: Lunchbox Gear 16 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

Back To School: Lunchbox Gear 17 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

Back To School: Lunchbox Gear 18 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

There are plenty of Lunchbots options for this years school lunches. Depending on the size you need or the age of your child, there is truly something for everyone. For packing a larger lunch you may want to consider using the Bento Trio with Dots or the Bento Duo. With either 2 or 3 sections for separating food they both have enough space for an adequately sized child lunch or even an adult lunch. If you are looking for no separation or trying to pack just one food consider the Uno Dots. To ensure that you have everything you need to start the school year, your best option is the Primary Colors Set, which contains one of uno, duo and trio, great for full sandwiches, sushi or even a leftover burrito!

Don’t forget condiment containers for dipping sauces or even a small portion of your favorite treat. When you are done choosing your containers be sure to get a lunchbox to put them in! This lunchbox features two separate sections and fits the larger containers perfectly. It is insulated with a PVC free material.

Jacqueline Linder is a mom who was concerned about plastics leaking into her food and the food she was feeding her kids. Knowing that stainless steel was a healthier alternative she searched high and low but couldn’t find high quality food containers. So, she designed them herself! From her garage in 2008, Lunchbots was born. Now they are still a family owned business from humbled beginnings who are dedicated to making healthier containers.

You want to set your child up for success through the time that they are in school. Keeping them properly hydrated during the day is vital, and most schools now are suggesting that children bring water bottles for them to keep at their desk, as long as they are closable. And then, once lunch time rolls around, you want their hot food to remain hot, and the cool food to stay cold. Nobody wants warm yogurt for lunch. Send your child to school packing the Skip Hop Zoo Straw Bottle and the Skip Hop Zoo Insulated Food Jar.
