I bought this for my eleven year old daughter because we are frequently on the road with her sporting activities and I'm always looking for healthier - and cheaper - althernatives to fast food. It's a beautifully designed set with containers just the right size for her. Today we packed chili in one, macaroni & cheese in another and pineapple chunks in the third one. The chili stayed hot for four hours, even out in the cold car. It's pricey for a lunch box but it works.

This lunchbox set is very well designed; the thermal unit is not bulky or heavy at all, yet has great heat retention capacity. The additional (non-thermal) containers allow you to keep two other items in the lunchbox (bag, really), and the entire lunchbox is compact enough to fit into a small backpack. I noticed that one reviewer complained that the capacity of the thermal unit was too small to be useful; you can fill it with 16 ounces of soup or stew, and if you're used to eating more than that for lunch, well . . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, March 18, 2008

I got this to encourage myself to eat more veggies, so I aim to fill the side dishes with veggies although occasionally cookies or cheese find their way there. I'm Chinese so the insulated area often has rice and stir fry and I find the quantity to be quite good for me. Sometimes, I sub out one of the side dishes for an apple. I got this over one of the bigger, taller boxes because the profile fits in the bottom of my backpack better.

Pros--

Don't need to hunt down a microwave

Encourages more veggie eating

Place to pack utensils so that they don't get dirty in my backpack

Good size for me

Looks cute

Cons--

Microwaving a side dish with its lid on will deform the lid

The bag looks like it will stain and when it does I'm not sure how I will clean it

Strap has to snap apart to get the containers out.
