PlanetBox Rover review

The PlanetBox Rover is the long-term buy. PlanetBox makes the tray from certified 49% post-consumer recycled 18/8 stainless steel, gives it five compartments holding 4.5 cups, and backs it with a 5 year warranty. The set includes two leakproof Dipper containers for dips and messier food, and the whole box is dishwasher safe, with rounded wells that are easier to clean. It measures 10 x 7.4 x 1.5 in. and weighs 1.6 lb, and kids can decorate the lid with magnets. PlanetBox states the materials are free of lead, PVC, phthalates and BPA. The downsides are cost and handling: $54.95 is the most expensive box on the list, the Adventurer Insulated Lunch Bag is another $32.95, the magnets have to come off before washing, and PlanetBox says the set contains small parts and is not for children under 3. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test it.
