Think about a typical packed lunch. Is it usually a sandwich and cucumber slices, or does your child often take leftovers? What goes inside matters more than the animal on the lid.
When bag space is tight
The small Mr. Lion lunch box measures 17 × 13 × 6 cm. It is made of stainless steel and closes with a silicone buckle. If the water bottle needs to stand beside it, measure the base of the bag with the bottle in place.
When lunch and snacks need separate spaces
The large Mr. Lion lunch box with a divider measures 20 × 15 × 6 cm. It is the same height as the small box, but 3 cm longer and 2 cm wider. The fixed divider keeps a sandwich on one side and apple slices on the other.
When an insulated pot suits the meal
The 500 ml Mrs. Rabbit insulated lunch pot measures 10 × 10 × 12 cm. It holds warm or cold food. It takes up less room at the base of the bag than either flat lunch box, but needs twice the height.
Try it in your child’s bag
