I know, plastic isn't ideal, but there are times when it is the best choice for what i need. Anyone used these? Do they hold up well? Can kids get the lids on and off? Other comments on them?

Thanks!

We have a few of them and my daughter used them for her lunch and was able to open and close (4.5 - 6) them by herself. I did they had some pieces that were different depths but the lids were the same size, so you could mix and match a bit. However, they don't stack so they take up a lot of space in my drawer.

I've had one lock break and I think I have had a few pieces for about two years. So they have lasted a good long time. I tend to handwash them and they don't go in the microwave.

A different company makes them in glass:

It probably wouldn't be appropriate for taking to school though...

we really like them! DD (3yo) can open them by herself. They're super leakproof too

Ditto! They clean up well too, no tomato stains. They stack nicely as well.

I really like them. Dh had to use clear plastic containers for his lunch, so ours see a lot of use. So far none have broken and we've had them almost 3 years. You can sometimes find slightly less expensive off-brand ones at asian grocery stores. They seem to be identical, but not branded.
