Orgalif Lunch Container for kids 3-Comparment Reusable Plastic Bento Lunch Box (Set of 5)

First, excuse a few of the photos attached. They are from a screenshot I took while on Facetime showing a friend my son's lunch, so it's very poor quality, but you get the idea! :)I was hesitant to purchase these lunch containers as I was initially looking at the Easy Lunchboxes brand and had my heart set on those due to their popularity. I also read many of the reviews on these Orgalif containers and found that many of them were written by people who received them free in exchange for review. Due to the nature of the review programs, I have a hard time believing them to be 100% truthful.However, I decided to take a risk and purchase this set since it was cheaper and comes with one more container than the Easy Lunchboxes set. I am so glad that I did! While I can't speak as to how they compare to the big name brand, I can tell you that these containers are awesome. The largest container holds a sandwich and has space for things around it like pretzels, crackers, etc. Or it would hold a large portion of pasta, etc. I bought some Gerber Bunch a Bowls with lids so that if I put something like pasta salad in my son's lunch, I can put things around it like sliced boiled eggs or crackers, etc. It won't get wet, and then there's still plenty of room for fruits and veggies in the other two smaller containers.Using silicone or paper muffin cups will really help you make the most of these containers, too. In one of the pix I attached, I had mango chunks separated from cucumber slices. It works great, and when the lid is on, even though my kids carry their items in a vertical lunchbox, everything stays put.The only downside is that the lid is not leak-proof or airtight. But I am never worried that my son's will have their lunch spilled out into their box. The only issue is that you wouldn't be able to put something really liquid in it just in case it were to get jostled too much. But that is easily remedied by either placing some Press N' Seal wrap over the container, OR you can just put the liquid item into another container inside the box, like the Bunch a Bowls I previously recommended or if you need something smaller, the Easy Lunchboxes Dipper containers (sidenote: while they are pretty small, I have filled them with yogurt, and it's enough for a little half portion of it as a treat or dessert in their box) or the Sistema condiment containers.I love that there is a purple one. This is perfect for my family as I have three boys, so there's one for all the men in the house and one for mommy!In short, I highly recommend these containers. They help you to be more conscious of what your kids are eating, and the convenience of only washing one container vs. washing 3-5 that snap together or dealing with plastic baggies is great. Unless you do need to use a smaller container inside for something, which you won't always need to do, it's so easy to wash one piece.

These are great for healthy lunches on the go, including for kids. I have two elementary schoolers, one of whom is quite picky, so finding healthy lunch ideas for her has always been a challenge. No more. With these trays, there is no limit to the food I can send to school: dipping sauces, chopped fruits and vegetables that they will actually eat on their own. The first day I sent these trays for lunch, I asked if they liked their lunches and both answered with a resounding "YES!" You could send the same foods in Ziploc bags, but there's something about the tray - having all the bite-sized foods set out before you when you sit down to eat - that somehow makes the food more inviting. It's like a Lunchable, but healthier. Definitely a psychological thing, but at the price of these trays, the convenience they afford me, and the impact they've had on my kids' eating habits, I've found it's worth the purchase. Now, instead of settling for chips, cookies and Lunchables, they are eating strawberries, blueberries, carrots with Ranch dip, pickled asparagus, Vienna sausage and real chicken chunks with ketchup. Highly recommended!Two words of caution: these trays do not fit in my kids' lunch boxes, so I'm sending them in plastic grocery bags with a separate ice pack, until I find lunch boxes that will fit the trays. Also, my 6 year old accidentally broke one of the trays the first time she used it - she's not sure how it happened, so I think it was when she slammed her backpack on the ground before running off to the playground or somewhere (as kids that age are wont to do). I showed her the broken tray and told her to be more careful with the items in her backpack, so it became a learning tool. But be forewarned, these trays are not bullet-proof (nor did I expect them to be).

With the colorful lids and the compartments, I'm guessing these are most likely marketed for kids...but I bought them for myself and I love them.Pros:1. You get 5 for around $11. Perfect for cooking a meal during the weekends and getting your lunch ready for the week. This saves me time and stress during the week cause I already have my lunch prepared. It also saves me money cause I'm not tempted to eat out.2. They're microwavable. Because I tend to fill each compartment with a variety of foods, some of which cannot or shouldn't be microwaved, I don't microwave these a lot, but it's always nice to know it's an option.3. The compartments are big. Much bigger than they appear. For the first week, I would fill them for my lunches and I found myself unable to finish the meal come lunch time.4. The lids are different colors! That's just plain fun. You can't go wrong with bright colors.Cons:1. The only real con that I really have is that they're not spill proof. They hold spills relatively well, but not as well as I would like. I always stick them in a plastic bag when I'm traveling, so I've never had a spill that matters, but I have had a few instances of wet plastic bags.Definitely happy with the purchase!

These are exactly what I was hoping for and at a great price! We're a family of 5, so the fact that this is a set of 5 is, of course, ideal. And different color lids for each help us keep track of whose is whose. The sandwich compartment seems to fit a standard size slice of bread. If you put LOADS of goodies on your sandwich, you may find the lid hard to keep in place - but I was able to fit a couple layers of turkey, cheese, sliced tomato and lettuce without much trouble. The side containers hold more than they look like they do. They're perfect for lunch sides such as sliced fruit, crackers and I was even able to fill one side with yogurt and one side with a granola topping. The yogurt is rather thin and we had no spills (but we were careful to keep it upright). These aren't just for kids - my husband takes lunch to work every day and manly meals fit well in here as well. They are dishwasher and microwave safe. Great product and far cheaper than any alternatives I've found.
