Bentgo Kids Lunch Box review

The Bentgo Kids Lunch Box ranks first because it combines a leak-proof lid, five portioned compartments and a low price better than any other box we compared. Bentgo lists a total capacity of 2.4 cups split into a 1 cup main section, two 0.5 cup sections, a 0.25 cup section and a 2 tbsp dip well, which suits a half sandwich, fruit, vegetables and a dip. The tray comes out and is freezer safe, microwave safe and top-rack dishwasher safe, and the outer shell has rubber-coated edges. Bentgo says the materials are free of PFAS, BPA, vinyl, lead and PVC, and the latches are designed for small hands. At $29.99 it costs about the same as the Yumbox Original and less than the OmieBox. The limits: Bentgo recommends hand washing the shell, the box is sized for ages 3 to 7, and it does not keep food cold on its own. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the box.
