how tight to the lids stay on? if i'm putting these containers in a lunch bag, am i going to get yogurt all over the place?

Some of my lids fit so tightly that it is hard to get them off when filled with yogurt ---but considering what a mess it could make if one opened in a lunch bag, I would seal it in a ziptop sandwich bag just in case ;)

The lids push on and seal quite tightly. They're very handy to use just be sure you put them in the upper rack of the dishwasher

All of the lids I have fit very tightly. On the large round ones, I have to pry them off with a knife handle. They don't leak or spill at all.

I warm food in these in the microwave a lot with no problems; just make sure the lid is not snapped close. I really like these containers.

I dont know other lids since my yogurt maker's jars came with the same lid as well. I have never put them in my kids' lunch box beacuse of the glass and safety issue but I think it would work. Good luck!

They fit perfectly! The container sucks though - Better to get the bags and use a close able Tupperware container!

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

There are lids but they only snap on loosely. So you can't use them to transport the yogurt because it will leak out.

These containers are not insulated. You could put yoghurt in them, it seals pretty well, but you would have to put them in with ice or "blue ice."

My experience was that they were only leak proof if they remain total upright. I had so many things leak out of them including yogurt if they fell over!

They won't get dusty, as the lid keeps them covered. But, the box is not airtight, so they might still loose flavor. Once I get my second one of these, I'll be putting my celestial bags in Ziplocs and then putting them in there.

no they sit in the tray but are not secured. You could put a rubberband lengthwise to hold them in maybe. I just throw the trays in my bag, the lids wont pop open.

Yes, they have a snug seal. We have a dozen of these now and have never had that problem. Ours are stocked with rice, lentils ect.

the lids are not attached. The containers are fairly small for dry snacks, though. But I can see using them that way. Just not exclusively.

The yogurt should be all right. The lid is a pop-off kind, so no screw or unscrewing. To be sure I put it in a ziplock bag, but I use them for freezin smoothies that are going to be thawed by lunch time.

The lids are snap-on. They fit pretty tightly but I'm not sure they would stop your toddler from biting them off.

There seems to be a rubber seal that goes all the way around the inside of the lids. The latch also holds the lids in place fairly well. Some air might come through... I'm not really sure. I would feel comfortable storing a 25lbs bag of dog food in these bins for quite a while. I use them for birdseed in my back porch and I haven't noticed any bugs or critters.
