Lunchsense lunch system review: Kitty and Jell-O goldfish bowl

It's almost time for back to school. So why not send you kids with a whole new lunch system from Lunchsense.

This medium lunchsense lunch box is a great lunch container for grade school kids, and many adults will find it just right size to get them through the day. Here is what you will find in your fold-out, washable lunch box The price for the Medium Lunchsense box is $35.99 (they also sell a small box and large kit)

Now for the details of the Box:

It measures about 8" wide, 6" tall, and 5.75" deep you can choose from a handle or shoulder strap as pictured. It comes in 8 different colors.

Whats inside the Lunchsense kit

Inside you will find:

• • One 19 ounce lock and lock food container. It has two separate, removable trays that hold about 9 ounces each. Remove the two trays, and this container is perfect for a typical kid's sandwich
  • Two 6 ounce lock and lock containers. Perfect for yogurt and granola, or crackers and cheese
  • One 1 ounce screw top container. Good for salad dressing or dipping sauce
  • One 8 ounce drink bottle. Choose from screw-on top (shown) or sippy style
  • One ice pack. Rigid, puncture-proof
  
  
  
  

The box itself folds out either just the front or completely flat as a placemat.

Lunchsense front folded down

Lunchsense Medium folded flat as a place mat.

Here is the Lunch I packed a CuteZCute Kitty sandwich and Jello and Swedish Fish Dessert

In the Lunchsense box I packed a cheese sandwich cut into a cute kitty on a bed of salad greens and tomatoes. The other side has dessert of Jello with Swedish Fish swimming in it. In the Snack boxes I packed Grapes and blueberries and Crackers.


Pros:

• The Lunchsense Box is Washable and easily wipe clean and is a study quality product
• The Lock and Lock boxes are very high quality, BPA free, easy to open for kids and can be microwaved, dish washed and frozen. I love the removal dividers and that they do not leak.
• The Box folds flat into a place mat so you don't have to worry about dirty tables.
• It is all inclusive so you get your boxes, your carrier, water bottle and ice pack all in one kit (you can also buy sets separately)
• The packing configuration is very versatile.

Cons:

• Some Younger Kids may find the box a little difficult to open fully into the place mat and refasten. Although it is much easier with a bit of practice and after you have read the instructions (the fasteners are special Lift the dots and are designed to open one way and not come undone otherwise) and its super easy to open and close the front flap.
• It may be a bit big folded out in some school lunch situations but it works great in the partially open configuration for those occasions.
• Some people may find the price high at $35.99 but you have to take into consideration that you are getting everything you need for lunch packing and it is a quality set that will last a long time.

Conclusion: This a great quality lunch system which has everything you need to start packing non disposable lunches.

I was sent this set to Review and was not compensated in any other way. all opinions are my own.

Products Used in this Review Lunchsense Medium

EasyLunchboxes review

I was kindly sent a set of Classic EasyLunchboxes and a cooler bag from EasyLunchboxes.com

Let me start by saying these are a quality product not to be confused with your standard disposable containers.

I will show you more on that later, but for now at little about EasyLunchboxes.

They are the number #1 lunchbox product on Amazon

• A pack of 4 Classic or Brights sells for $13.95 from the EasyLunchboxes site or Amazon and its eligible for amazon prime (so if you have that free shipping)
• Safe for microwave, freezer, dishwasher FDA-approved. 
• No BPA, PVC, or phthalates 
• 9.38" x 6.1" x 2" 
• They are easy open (so kids can open without help) 
• They are not leakproof but if you are sending a dip in you can get some of the mini dippers 
• They have three divided compartments Large section - 2.5 Cups, Smaller section - 3/4 cup, Smallest section- 1/2 cup. Inside of the largest compartment is approx 4.5" x 5" inches and 1.75" deep. 

It's these divided compartments that make lunch packing a breeze for me. The food doesn't touch so the fruit doesn't make the sandwich mushy and the crackers aren't shook all over the place.

The insulated lunch box can carry up to 3 of the boxes whilst keeping them flat.

I sent three packed up for my kids karate tournament and the lunches looked great after all the pushing through the crowds.

Here are a few lunches I have packed in the EasyLunchboxes

Now to compare EasyLunchboxes with the ziploc divided containers which look similar but are a completely different beast.

I originally bought the ziploc ones because they were cheap and I figured they were good for field trips when lunch boxes may or may not come back. So I packed lunch in and put both the Ziploc and the EasyLunchboxes through the dishwasher a few times. This shows the difference.

Ziploc on left Easyluncboxes on the right.

The ziploc lid has warped the EasyLunchboxes is still perfect

Ziploc cracked and warped

Here is the Ziploc note it no longer sits flat and the lid doesn't fit

EasyLunchbox perfect flat and no warping

As you can see compared to the EasyLunchbox it just doesn't hold up to repeated opening and closing and dishwashing. One of the ziplocs I had bit the dust entirely and the other is cracked, warped and the lid no longer seals. The EasyLunchbox looks as good as new. The ziplocs have their place as disposable lunch boxes but Easylunchboxes will last a long long time and are a quality product that will last a long time.

Pork Tenderloin and fried rice lunch

This was a Mommy lunch made mostly from leftovers.

A couple of slices of Panko breaded pork tenderloin. This was last nights dinner I just added herbs and seasoning and olive oil and stuck it to the pork, it keeps it nice and tender. My daughter also had some and agreed this was yummy cold.

Some leftover sushi rice which I added broccoli, onions, leeks and soy sauce.

A banana bread chocolate chip muffin.  I added a cup of chocolate chips to this Banana Bread Recipe but put it into muffin pans and cooked it for around 30 minutes. It was a success with everyone thanks to Keitha at Keithas Chaos for introducing me to the recipe.

Raspberries and Blackberries.

This was a very filling lunch.
