Kotobuki 2-Tier Bento Box, White Kitty

My 6 year old daughter loves this. Holds a great amount of food if you really fill it carefully, if I just put one thing in each level (fruit in the middle layer that has the rubber lid and a sandwich on the bottom layer is most typical for us) then I sometimes add another container in her lunch box with her other things. We use the PB kids retro box and it fits beautifully with lots of room to spare. If stuff the kitty full with bento type arrangement of high energy/high protein food, it could easily hold an entire meal for most any kid- maybe even an adult. My girl loves this box and can manipulate the layers and stacking it all back together again by herself. So, so cute! If you need ideas for food, the website Super Healthy Kids and pinterest bento ideas has great alternatives to just a sandwich. It's great to not have a zillion plastic baggies to pack her lunch with- makes much more environmentally friendly and enjoyable to pack and eat from! Happy lunch packing!!

I rated this a 5 star as its a great lil product. I bought this Bento Box for my 3 year old daughter who adores it. She loves eating her lunch in it and its a great way for me to encourage healthy eating habits. She is also a cat lover so this design is too cute and perfect for her. I would not recommend this for a 5 or 6 year old's lunches though. It would be too small for them! The size is meant for a 1-4 year old in my opinion. When we go to town, I'll fill this baby up with carrots, baked snacks, and other yummy goodies and I've caught my daughter in the backseat chowing down a few times. Again, this is a little Bento Box so if it's for a 5 year old or older, look for a larger Bento made for older kids. I've even bought adult-sized bento boxes for my husband and I. We enjoy our healthy lunches as well! :)

Pros: -Super cute - my 4 yr old daughter loves it -Holds a nice amount of food packed bento-style - more than enough for a preschooler -Lid for the top level holds securely and my daughter can easily remove it herself (not sure yet if it's leakproof) Cons: -I checked the size dimensions before purchasing, so I knew it would be small, but the main problem I've discovered is that the levels aren't very deep - I use silicon cupcake liners to separate parts of my girl's lunch and the regular size liners come right up to the top. This makes packing it a bit difficult. I find myself constantly taking pieces of fruit out of the liner or re-arranging them so that I can stack the levels together. It's a bit annoying, honestly. The miniature silicon liners fit fine it in, however. -The tiers are only 4.5" across, so you really can't fit a full-size sandwich in them (especially with the curved shape of the ears). This isn't a problem for me because I usually use cookie cutters to make shapes, but if you're not planning to cut the sandwich in some way, this could be a problem for you. -The price - This is super cute, but it is not worth $25. For my other daughter I use the Sassy brand 'On the go feeding set' - it is about $7, holds enough food for a preschooler, and easily fits the silicon liners (it also has a spoon attached in the lid). I'm really thinking of buying another one so that I don't have to use this cat box as often.

My favorite bento box! Super cute and love that it's small in size but stackable so it really fits a lot of food. I use party size bread from the store or tiny slider buns for sandwiches. Cookie cutters for shaping bigger bread or packing rice or quinoa. The picks and condiment containers, also from amazon, top off the cuteness! I put nuts or skittles or dipping sauce in the condiment containers. I love the challenge of coming up with new lunches and making things fit. I'm eating healthier too. I never put it in the microwave or dishwasher (but then I never put anything plastic in the dishwasher) so it should last forever! I love it so much, I'm thinking about getting the Panda bento box too!

While this product is cute, it is surprisingly small! My daughter is very happy with it but it does not replace her lunch box, it supplements it adding more bulk to her already heavy bag as opposed to reducing it. It's also a bit pricey for what it is. That said it is an attractive addition to a lunch box or bag.

This is very cute - kawaii! The inner lids seal well, nicely made product and kitty's headband keeps it all together. The containers are low in height, so any sushi rolls need to be small diameter to fit, and big chunks of fruit would have to be fitted in like puzzle pieces. The bento holds just enough for my teen daughter's school lunch, but would not be good for big eaters. Good for rice or soba noodle meals, fruit, salad, or just snacks.

This Bento Box is small, but perfect for my kindergartner. Have used it for pudding and yogurt (top portion with lid) and has not leaked yet. Bottom is big enough for a sandwich (minus crust) and still have room to fill the corners with other snacks. I usually add almonds or carrots. Makes it very easy to pack healthy lunches, with proper portion sizes, for our growing little ones.Great buy and super cute!! :)

Cute luck box for my preschooler but very disappointed with durability. Not even 6 months of use and there's a crack in the top container now. I don't use dishwasher so not sure what happened.
