Aladdin Lunch and Go Lunchbox Review

Posted by: Meg In: Lunchbox Products

: Aladdin Lunchbox

I just got two of these as my kids lunchboxes to use this year. I bought the Aladdin Lunch and Go Lunchbox and the Mini Lunchbox that fits inside. I bought them online at Walmart and used the free “Site to Store” service so I wouldn’t have to pay shipping.

Since this Aladdin lunchbox comes only in white plastic, I let the kids decorate their own lunchboxes with permanent markers (definitely an outdoor project!!). It was very fun for them and makes their lunchboxes truly their own.

Overall, I am impressed with the quality and design for the price (Lunchbox $10 and MiniLunchbox $8 at Walmart).

Aladdin Lunch & Go Lunchbox

Things I like: overall size, cleanable (unlike all the soft sided lunchbox varieties), the food inside is protected from getting squished, rubber gasket around edge to prevent food leaks into backpack, icepack has way to slide in to keep things organized in the lunchbox

Things I don’t like: Not dishwasher safe, boring colors (however, I let my kids decorate their own with permanent markers so it is now truly personalized…), 4 latches to open/close that can be hard for younger kids

Aladdin Lunch & Go Mini Lunchbox

Things I like: Dishwasher safe, adjustable food divider, rubber gasket to prevent leaks, neat looking plastic.

Things I don’t like: A bit small if it is the only place for food inside of the larger Aladdin Lunchbox or different lunch box, only color I found was red.

Meg: Kim, Thanks for visiting, and yes--aren't they awesome? You can definintely use them for onigiri (molded rice balls). Not so sure about the meatbal
kim: Those are incredibly cute! Do you think you'd be able to use them for other things like mini-onigiri or meatballs? Or would the shape no longer stand

I'm Meg, a stay home Mom of 2 interested in promoting healthy, low waste lunches for kids and grownups. I aim to present good recipe ideas for packed lunches and to analyze lunchbox products currently available. I encourage involving your kids in all aspects of food. From gardening, to nutrition, to enjoying recipes and making some up... there is a lot to learn and enjoy. Cooking with kids in the kitchen is both spectacularly messy and fun, and generally well worth the extra cleanup time...
