Review on Purple 6-Compartment Leakproof Bento Lunch Box For Girls Kids Women, BPA-Free School Snack Container Boxes. by Blanca Spahn

I really wanted to love these. I got the set of two full size and two mini size lunch boxes. They would’ve been perfect because the sizes are perfect. The full size box would hold everything you need, and the minis would’ve been great for healthy snacking with plenty of choices.Unfortunately, they are a nightmare for kids to operate. I have a 5.5 year old starting kindergarten. I had him practice opening and closing these. It took a lot of practice, but I was still not satisfied that he’d be able to operate these consistently. It’s not just about opening them, it’s also the fact that they’re very difficult to close. And if you don’t do it perfectly, items will leak out for sure.Cons:When opening these air tight lunch boxes: The air tight seal also means air gets trapped inside and creates a seal that is difficult to break for children (even adults have to use elbow grease). Kids will manipulate the box and surely items will fall out unexpectedly when the seal breaks.When closing:You have to line up the deal exactly, or it won’t close. And if you manage to close two of the four tabs, you’ll be again stuck with a seal that would need to be broken. Then try again to close it so all tabs line up.The lids are NOT dishwasher safe. So those need hand washing daily. They will warp in the DW. So if that’s not your thing, skip these.Pros:These will work for adults. We can look past the bother of having to pry them open, and line up all tabs to close. They will fit a ton. They are very nice looking. The mini boxes are ideal for a variety of snacks with their many compartments.I wish they came in neutral colors for adults.All 4 of mine are going back.
