LunchBots: Stylish & “Green” Food Containers!
I was excited to get invited to take part in another one of Green & Clean Mom‘s Mommy Go Green Blog Tours! This time I got sent a couple of LunchBots stainless steel lunch containers to review.
Let me start by saying, I totally love these containers! They are cute (and even are shipped wrapped in pretty orange and blue tissue paper!), eco-friendly, and super practical.
LunchBots was started by a parent who basically didn’t want to pack her kids’ lunch in plastic, due to its toxicity . From their website:
That’s why LunchBots was born – to create safe, usable, and fun containers both parents and kids would love.
I got to review both of the LunchBots products, which are the Uno and the Due (which has 2 separated compartments)– please note that I inadvertantly switched the lids in the photos below (Uno comes with Blue and Due with Orange).
My family and I took a little trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park the other morning and packed a little lunch to eat before we came home. Here’s how I used the LunchBots (and you’ll notice the amazing pictures that my new camera took!!!).
a half sandwich for Chiquita and some blueberries to share
2 sandwiches squished into the Uno- would hold one thick sandwich perfectly, I was abusing it a little 
The two containers fit perfect in my little insulated lunchbag. Again, I was sort of cramming the Uno so I used a rubber band to secure it, but I will emphasize that the containers close and seal quite nicely when not overstuffed!
All in all, I love the LunchBots! My small recommendations to the company would be to offer more sizes and colors (more to love!), and maybe to provide a large rubber band-type strap to hold the 2 containers together, or a cute bag to hold them.
And if any of you are interested in trying out the Lunchbots for yourself, you can do so via their website, with a free shipping code! Just enter FREESHIP09 for free U.S. shipping (no deadline).

I’m curious to know how these are holding up? And can little fingers (K and up) get the lids off? And back on securely? Is there any rust type issue?
They’re holding up great, Katie. I’m not sure about little fingers because mine is too young (22 months) to try, but I don’t have too hard of a time opening them. They have stayed securely shut which is great, and I don’t think stainless steel rusts which is also great. There are a few tiny spots which look like rust on the Due, but my husband thinks it’s just discoloration from welding the separator piece in. So overall, I really like them!
The only problem we have with them is that the paint chips off the tops. does anyone else see a problem with this?
I’ve heard someone else say that but they used the dishwasher. I think they may have contacted the company about that too. I handwash mine and haven’t any problems.
