3.0 out of 5 stars Needs better design, May 11, 2004

I bought this because my daughter is a Dora Fanatic, and lunchboxes are to the preschool set what purses are to their Moms. Coach does not impress the 3-year-old... but Dora does. But like you've read in a previous review, this is poorly designed. The zipper only goes 1/2 way around the star and it makes putting food in difficult and it is not really convenient for taking food out either. The preschool teacher has told me sometimes the food is crushed, which is no surprise because you do have to shove it in there. Also, the star design makes for much less space than the traditional rectangular shape. I wish they'd come out with a better Dora design, until then, the Princess will just have to settle for her Princess lunchbox! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice concept, a little small, February 1, 2004

I bought this lunch bag to replace the other Dora lunch box that got ruined after a spill. I thought the star shape was really cute and that my daughter would really enjoy it. Well, my daughter does like the bag, but I'm a little disappointed in the size. I send her to pre-school with a sippy cup, and 3-4 other items in bowls or plastic bags. I feel like I'm really squeezing things together to fit a sippy cup and a yogurt in to the bag. Since the flap does not open all the way (it zips around the top three points of the star) I also worry about putting crushable items towards the bottom. Overall, it suits its purpose and my daughter enjoys it, but I would make a few tweaks to the design to optimize its usefulness.

Our Son LOVES Dora! It is very hard to find something "Dora" that can pass as a unisex product. This one is close! Our son is four and I have not had any of the noted size problems. It is a bit smaller than a traditional rectangular lunch box, but the star shape is part of the appeal! I have not had a problem packing a juice box, sandwich and a few extras for him.
