I am looking for a lunch box for my 3years old. Is it easy to open? Is it too soft? Are the crackers going to end up breaking into pieces?

I wouldn't recommend it. The bottom collapses too easily and I end up juggling it a lot as its not sturdy enough. Spen your money elsewhere ! :)

It can take some abuse and protect the stuff inside (it's silicon, just like a silicon spatula) - the lid is pretty easy to take off, and it is hard plastic.

Recommended brand name: Sistema, Made in Newzealand. My daughter has been using for the last 3 years.

It is a bit heavy, the drink can add significant weight depending on what type of container and size you use, but that would be true no matter the bag. My kids are elementary school aged and put the lunch in their backpack. It is heavier than I would prefer but my kids don't seemed bothered by it. It's a good, durable box, easy to clean (or put through the dishwasher) and not made from plastic, which have been more important to us than the weight of the box.

If there are any chunks it will not go in through the cylinder into the pouch. My baby is 8 months old and I still feed her purees. I mix her fruit with cereal in the morning. Even if I only use it for 4-6 months, I feel it is totally worth it for the fresh food. I plan on using it past age 1 for fruit on the go. Just like those applesauce pouches you buy.

It just depends on how high you put the latch. This product is designed to make entry difficult by keeping the latch out of reach. Is is very easy to open so yes a 3 year old could manipulate it if you put it low, but in that case you're just not using it properly. We really love this product and highly recommend it.

They are pretty easy, yes. They have a little tab that you lift. They are not as thick as traditional tupperware style, but are thick enough. Similar to the take n toss by glad. I have had mine for a year and they still look great with regular use. I mostly use for fruit and dry snacks.

Generally, the lunchbox is quite good at keeping things cool. There is a removable plastic tray that fits snugly into the outside rectangular box. I make my lunches the night before, then store the tray in the fridge overnight. When I put the tray in the outer box in the morning, everything is very cold and seems to stay chilled until lunchtime. I think the silicon seal acts as a bit of an insulating layer. If I wanted to keep foods cold for more than a few hours, or if the weather were really hot, I would put the entire lunch box inside a soft-sided lunch bag along with an ice-pack. However, this makes it pretty cumbersome for the kids, who then have two separate containers to open (and lose!) which is another reason I don't find this lunchbox very practical.

Yes it's extremely easy to set up and collapse. It literally just opens in seconds and folds back closed. I love it for my 3 year old!

It is quite easy to open. So probably yes, a 3 - yr old may be able to open these by himself.

O no!!! It's about as sturdy as a cardboard box! It's very nice, looks exactly like picture and very safe! It's flexible so I don't think it could hurt ur toddler!

not sure, in my opinion this box is quite large for a child's lunch box. Also this box is great for storing purposes and for having salads. I used to use it for my lunch, but I stopped using it as it is more convenient to have a couple of separated smaller boxes so you can warm up what you want warm and don't warm up what you don't want to warm up.The dressing compartment is very good though

Knowing toddlers, there isn't much they CAN'T get into. However, this bin is pretty sturdy. I do not believe the lid can be ripped off, or the can tipped over. My only question would be the step-on lever. He may find that fascinating, but may be too difficult for him to push down. Being stainless steel, it wipes clean nicely. I would recommend this one highly. Good luck

I got this for my 3 year old and she had no problems opening the lunch box or smaller container inside.

It is ok for adults. But it is hard for little ones. I use this for my 5 years old son. He has to dump the food out to a plate to eat.

Easy to open. I don't remember it being difficult to open. It came in a box and I had to assemble it. Easy

Yes. I usually add a rubber band to be sure. So far,No spills. I wouldn't jostle the lunch box around though. For example, if it is a kid, I wouldn't do it

It is in her back and strong velcro make it almost unnoticeable & inoperable to little ones. We have never had a problem with our 3 year old opening it, but not sure that she has ever noticed it.

My 5-year-old manages to open these without any issues. He has been taking lunchblox to school for 1.5 months now.
