Laptop Lunch Bento Box Set
I have not ordered any of the Laptop Lunches lunch jars or bottles, so I will not comment on them.
Pros: Bento Box Set is dishwasher safe, well-sized compartments to put in a variety of foods, nice variety of colors, box is easy for a child to open. The bento lunch box is designed to minimize waste, which is a great feature for any lunch box.
Cons: Lots of pieces to keep track of, and the little containers can get lost at school (Then again, having several compartments is a plus when packing a variety of foods!). Also, the 2 containers that come with lids I found to be a bit hard for a child to open. For kids, I would not recommend the optional Laptop Lunches insulated carrying case. Although the insulated carrying case is well made and has a long carrying strap that comes in handy, I found the design to be a bit boring for kid use and after a couple of food leaks from the bento box system, the case gets pretty nasty and is hard to clean (just like most insulated lunchboxes!).
Overall: I recommend buying a Laptop Lunches Bento Box Set (or, better yet, ordering 2 sets per kid if you pack their lunch every day and don’t want to have to run the dishwasher every night). I would use a different lunchbox as the carrying case and use a Sigg (or similar) bottle for the drink, or let them buy milk at school if the school recycles the milk cartons.
