Yumbox Original review

The Yumbox Original suits families who want portions planned for them. Yumbox splits the tray into five 1/2 cup compartments plus a dip well, and the removable tray is illustrated with themes that hint at what goes where, which can help with picky eaters. The lid is silicone-lined and the latch is built for little hands, and Yumbox gives an age range of preschool to age 8. The box measures 8.5 x 6 x 1.8 in. and is made from BPA-free and phthalate-free materials. The tray goes in the top rack of the dishwasher, while the shell should be washed by hand to protect the seal. At $33.00 it costs $3 more than the Bentgo Kids Lunch Box and holds 2.5 cups across its main sections compared with Bentgo's 2.4 cups. The weak spots are the wording, since the product description calls the lid leak-resistant, and the equal small sections, which do not take a full sandwich; Yumbox sells the Panino for that. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test it.
