Your simple yet practical solution to your prepping problems: OmieBox Bento Box for Kids. It’s a durable food container that offers you double-wall insulation at the bottom, a thermos insert, and a utensil set with a casing. Food stays fresh, and there is no need to lose a spoon and fork all the time.
It’s got three dividers, but if you’re not packing some soup for your kids, you can remove the thermos insert and sneak a sandwich instead. But if you decide to send them off with hot corn chowder on their bento lunch box, rest assured it stays hot for up to four hours on end.
Got no space inside the backpack? No problem. This food container from OmieBox has a solid carrying handle as well!

Now, the thermos insert is a perk, but opening and closing its screw lid can be too challenging for your kid’s tiny hands. If there’s no teacher nearby, this might end as leftovers, or worse, your little ones starve for the rest of the school day.
The compartments of this bento lunch box are also quite limited, so you can also pack up three types of food inside. Unless it’s all dry, you can simply insert additional dividers yourself.
OmieBox Bento Box for Kids also needs extra caution when not in use. The clasp lid’s opening is at the bottom, not near the handle. Close it properly to avoid spilling the food to the ground.
At around $50, this bento lunch box from OmieBox is a bit pricey. Yes, its build and additional features are great, but the overall ease of use is not that satisfying since it’s a kid’s bento box.
