The Thermos Kids Freestyle Kit is a flexible container set rather than a single bento. For $27.99 Thermos includes a lunch system container, two divider inserts, an 8 oz food jar with lid, a 2 oz condiment jar with lid and a snap-in tray with three wells, eight pieces in all. The parts can be rearranged or removed, so the same kit can hold a sandwich one day and a salad the next, and Thermos says a 12 oz FUNtainer bottle fits inside when the divider tray is out. Everything is PVC-free and BPA-free and safe on the top rack of the dishwasher. Thermos designs it to fit into all standard Thermos lunch boxes, which means most families will pair it with a bag. The limits: the kit is not insulated, Thermos does not describe the jars as leakproof, and it weighs 1.8 lb. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test it.
