Looking for sectioned plastic containers for DD's lunches@daycare - help?

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
I'm looking for something like a Tupperware container that has sections in it to separate different food types, like veggies in one, protein in another, maybe fruit in yet another section. I used to send her food all in one small-ish container but now she's used to eating her meals at home with items separated and I want to be able to send her to daycare with a "plate" that sort of resembles that. I'm having a hard time finding something that fits that description that isn't adult-sized. Do any of you use something like what I'm describing and if so, what brand is it? Thanks so much!

There's bento boxes for kids. Just google it and it will come up.

Maybe a Laptop lunch box or Goodbyn?

I saw the bento boxes but they look like there are just two large containers stacked on top of one another. I've seen Bento's that had different compartments but can't find them - I'll keep looking... thanks!

Can you get Lock and Lock where you are? We have a rectangular box with three removable rectangular sections inside. The inner containers are quite small.

My son takes cheese or ham or an egg or pasta salad in one then carrot sticks or other salad in another and a small cake in the third. Or he can take a sandwich and just use on of the inner containers for something wet or something that he wouldn't want smashed up next to his sandwich.

We've been using this for DD since she was about 2YO: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=2792404

She's 4.5YO now and we still use it every day. I can cut a PB&J in half and stack the halves on one side without the inside containers, then use the other half for fruit or for the two smaller containers.

Target has a Snapware container that has four stacks and 6 compartments.

There's also the Goodbyn (http://www.goodbyn.com/goodbyn/features.aspx), though I haven't tried it.

We use a Laptop Lunches one for my husband, but I'm not sure how easy it would be for a toddler to open top and lids...

I just did a group order for these with my mother's group. They are very cool. Not small at all, actually I am surprised by how big the two big sections are. To me it seems that a child could learn to open and close the lid with a bit of practice. Do a search for coupon codes before ordering, I found one on a Goodbyn blog.

Though personnaly I have not used, I prefer Goodbyn.. It has multiple storage areas unified under a single molded lid. These storage compartments are truly leakproof..
