Good luck with your decision. What continues to make us most happy about these is the ability to see everything as a "set" for the lunch. Before, despite our best intentions, we found ourselves sometimes packing weird combos of things (too many snacky things, not enough of this or that) just because we didn't have the image of the whole lunch. Now we are more able to visualize eating the lunch and pack a better lunch. And, it is fun on our site to group things and find out how many calories a lunch has. That is one thing we always found ourselves really guesstimating about before we added the "create a lunch feature" on our site. One thing I originally thought I could do was just buy the containers and put them in the other lunchboxes we had. But, since they are best when they travel upright I'm happy we have the cooler bags too.

Too funny…..I was already doing my own “research” on ‘divided lunch containers’ and Easy Lunch Boxes made the cut to the final round of contenders. I had not yet gotten to the measuring part. We, too, have LL Bean lunch boxes & also have KleenKanteen water bottles. I appreciate your practical information so much! You’ve covered all the bases that matter to me, down to the wax paper over the applesauce tip. I’m not ready to spend the $$ on 2 new lunchboxes yet, but we’ll see after I watch Kelly’s video.

Just bought Easy Lunch boxes a couple of weeks ago. I love finding new sites for inspiration!

They are called Easylunchboxes and I put a link to a post about them on our site. They are wonderful and easy to use! To prevent applesauce from running, we did what Kelly from Easylunchboxes recommended which is to cover that compartment with a small piece of waxed paper. It works great. We also always remind our younger one to keep his lunchbox upright. He can be a bit spacey and appreciates the reminder. You can buy them from our site, straight from Easylunchboxes.com or from Amazon.com as well.

Great! What’s the namebrand & exact container you have pictured? Where did you purchase? I notice you have APPLESAUCE, which would run into other compartments in other containers or require a separate container. I, too, pack my kids lunches & am also interested in using convenient, re-usable containers. My kids LOVE when I make them a home-made lunchable—my version is farhealthier than store-bought & they appreciate that. THANKS for your site info!!
