When my kids were starting school for the first time, I knew I wanted to pack their lunches. After doing some research on what type of container would suit our family needs, we chose yumbox and I haven't regretted it since. In fact, I've such a fondness for yumbox, my hubby ordered me my own purple bijoux, and it's wrapped up under our Christmas tree right now.
Pros:
1. It's easy for little kids to open and shut
2. Yumbox is leak proof, I've put yogurt, pudding, apple sauce, maple syrup, and ketchup in, and it's never leaked into any other compartment..
3. Which leads to my next point, yumbox is a bento style lunchbox and has 4-6 separated compartments. This was great for me, as my youngest had some sensory issues, and hated his food touching.
4. Yumbox is lightweight. I was also looking into planetbox because of the stainless steel, but from what I've read it's quite heavy. My kids were 2 and 3 at the time.
5. Comes in multiple colors.
Cons:
1. Both the shell and tray need to be washed by hand and left to air dry over night or hand dried. Yumbox does state that the tray is top rack dishwasher safe; however, because of the way it's designed, once the dishwasher has completed its cleaning cycle, water just collects in the holes of the tray, and I've got a small bowl of water in the morning. It's not a deal breaker for me, just a slight inconvenience.
Next, what you pack in the yumbox can't be heated in the yumbox and a separate ice pack has to be placed with it. (Rubbermaid has a great system that incorporates an ice pack or two with their containers). If I'm planning on sending them something warm for lunch, I bought a thermos food jar which does the trick.
Overall yumbox has worked well for us and I highly recommend it for adults and kids.

Bought three of these lunch boxes for my middle schooler and two elementary school kiddos. I was looking for a lunch box that can hold liquid/runny foods like yogurt and applesauce. I also wanted a way to include dipping sauce that wouldn't spill over into other compartments and this lunch box delivers! No leaks! It is perfect!!!
No Leaks! Dipping Sauce, Applesauce and Yogurt Proof!!!

It is a little of a pain to have to remove the lunch plate inside the lunch box for cleaning (and have to wash the case and plate seperatly), but I can see how it can come in handy when wanting to heat something up in the microwave without having to put the whole lunch box in. And it works very well for us!
It has plenty of space for my middle schooler to load in food and is simple enough for my elementary school kiddos to open and close on their own. We both hand wash and place in the dishwasher and so far everything cleans very well. It is silimer than most lunch boxes so that helps when trying to fit other things like a water bottle into the main lunch box.
For three kiddos this can be a high price, but I fully expect it to last us a few school years! :)
