5, 4, 3, 2, 1…….BLAST-OFF into the wonder of an amazing green universe, where green is not just a color anymore. This universe has no plastic at all, no landfills, no pollution and every home has solar panels, gardens and little green people inside who everyday day, carry their PLANET BOX to school and work for a healthy lunch!
So this is maybe not the whole truth, but it is sure is fun to think about! The truth is that even though this universe may not exist – Planet Box does exist! I could not believe my eyes when I first clicked on their website and viewed the video on what exactly a Planet Box is which you can view here!
PlanetBox makes packing a waste-free and healthy lunch very convenient! It is a one-piece food-grade stainless steel lunch box with an easy to open latch and completely dishwasher safe! I just love all of the little compartments for foods that encourage healthy sized portions and variety – plus, you do not have to worry about foods that will touch each other! It is so great to have just ONE thing to clean at the end of the day when our daughter brings her lunch home. I just throw it in the dishwasher, and it is ready in the morning without the fuss of scurrying around to find containers.
So now you have a parent’s perspective on this lunch kit….what about your kids? I have found that there are thankfully becoming more options for eco-friendly lunch boxes, but are they fun? Are they cute? Is your child excited to carry it?
Our daughter LOVES LOVES LOVES her PlanetBox! Not only is it an attractive, shiny stainless steel lunch container, but wait! There is so much more! First off – your child can choose from several fun and whimsical designed magnets that attach to the outside to really personalize things! The material for these are not the “typical” toxic type PVC/vinyl, but a material that has been certified as free of toxins and safe for use. Here are just a few of the adorable kid-friendly choices:
Moving right along (oh, you thought that was it? No Sir, or ma’am or miss or you with the hat), not only will your kit have all of these goodies, but then you get to choose a carrying bag. These bags are free of lead, vinyl/PVC, phthalates, BPA or any other harmful substances and come in 3 bright and fun colors! There are two outside pockets (one for a water bottle and one for a container that you can also purchase). I have to say that has been the only down-side to our PlanetBox – we NEED a water bottle! We have been looking around to find one that is as cute as the lunch kit, healthy and non-toxic and one that will fit into the pocket! Working on it.
Just take a peek here at what the PlanetBox looks like!
Easy to open – lies flat on a table – durable handle – you can throw in your own ice pack to keep things cool…
Cute right? Now, before you go looking for the price, I need to warn you! It does sound pricey. It does. BUT BUT BUT, you have to do the math on this one. I would have a hard time spending (or talking SGD into letting me spend) 59.95 for the entire kit. However, this is not intended to be a “throw-away” lunch box like the el’ cheapos you might find at your local convenience store. It has been designed with high quality materials that are made to last for years. It is durable and functional, and with so many “design” choices (bag, magnets etc) your child can change the look every year for a “brand new” feel! I figure too, now I am able to save money on the cost of disposable baggies and plastic containers, and I will not have to buy something that is unsafe and gets tossed into our landfills at the end of each school year. As much as I hate math, this really made sense to me!
I hope you like this. I think this company has done an excellent job from start to finish and I know our M is going to continue to love and enjoy her PlanetBox for many more years! Time to get our E one as well.
Smileys? You bet!
Earth Friendly
Non toxic materials
Designed to make lunches healthy and fun
Made to last
Encourages nutrition and variety with portion control compartments
Thank you Miros family for creating PlanetBox!!!
Disclaimer: I did receive product from PlanetBox, but this in no way shaped my opinions. My thoughts and opinions expressed here are honest and my own!
I absolutely adore these! My kiddos aren’t quite old enough for them, but as soon as they are you can bet I will be picking them up! Thanks for the review it was perfect!
Oh – you are so sweet! Thank you for the compliment
I am glad you like them so much – they are awesome! I have till August to get one more for our E who starts Kindergarten in the Fall 
Yay!
I would LOVE this but I have to be honest, I’m not sure Live Green Dad is up for the price…but it looks like just the thing I need!
I know Dee…SGD would will have a tough time when I want to buy E one next year for school. But I plan on writing out a list of how much we spend on baggies, plastic containers and the cheaper lunch box each year and adding it all to compare. I think then it will be easier to swallow up front! Totally worth it too
I have GOT to have this. It fits right within my ridiculously organized tendencies. HOW could you not love those little compartments? It’s like an organized person’s dream come true!
After reviewing the whole site, I am biting the bullet and buying a complete set for each of my elementary-aged children. The cost is high, but when I thought about all those individually-packaged goldfish, crackers, etc. that I’ve grudgingly bought over the years, I believe I’ll get a lot of my money back pretty fast.
Packing school lunches is such a big part of our lives, it’s going to be such a relief to finally be able to do it right.
I’m really glad I found this post. I’ve been looking for data on solar energy for some time.Looking forward to reading through more posts about energy.
I have been thinking about this lunch kit. I know this was posted back in the spring…..but I am wondering if it is easy enough for a just turned 4 kid to open? And I see a picture of the round dish (for liquids) in one of the container squares…..will the lunch box close with it in there? I don’t like the idea of packing a separate container for yougurt…or dip. Any leaks???
Thanks for the review,
Crystal
Hi Crystal! I LOVE ours! It is wonderful and our 4 year old can handle it with ease. I too was concerned about him opening up the little round container but he assured me that he could do it fine…and he did. As for leaking though, we accidentally put the whole container (the small round one) in the dishwasher, and it has a rubber seal. Mistake. Now it leaks and that was during the first run of it. So honestly, I cannot say for certain about leaking because ours does now – sigh. My only complaint is that there is not a water bottle to fit in the front pocket. They say it’s ” designed to fit a bottle with a 2.6 inch diameter or less – the same size as a standard 12 oz soda can”. And they have newly designed carry case that have an elastic topped pouch that can accommodate a larger bottle or a thermos – up to a 3 inch diameter container. Other than that – we really love it. It is great for portion sizes and easy to clean without worrying about losing containers and lids! I hope this helps
i definitely recommend it. And for the price, our daughter will be using it for several years and we may change up the magnets to spice things up every year or so! Thanks for your question and I am sooo thrilled that you came here to visit!! 
I put the Big Dipper (big yogurt container if you want to call it that) in the dishwasher and have had no leaks. I pulled the silicone seal out of the lid first, but still washed it in the dishwasher.
That’s so great Marie! I wish we would have read the care instructions prior to sticking our seal in the dishwasher! Nicely done
I just ordered one for myself
(I’m 23, got my first full-time job, heading back to school in Sept) I’ve been eying a PlanetBox lunch box for about a year and I figured I might as well jump in now that I have some money saved up. International shipping surprised the pants off of me (US postal to Canada = $25, ouch!!), but I’m happy that I ordered it 
Hopefully it’ll live up to my expectations. I kind of regret at this moment not buying the carrying case given the shipping price, but perhaps it will motivate me to make my own for cheaper. Maybe lolol!
Sweet Carolina! I am excited for you – I think you will LOVE it!!! We love ours so much and I really want to order another one for our son
The carrying case is really useful…totally recommend it if and when you get a chance! Wow – shipping was THAT much??? OMGosh, yikes! Anyway – thanks for sharing with us – come back as soon as you get it and let me know your thoughts!
We are looking at these, but I wonder how much the food inside is actually “contained” in it’s spot when it’s held sideways in the sleeve and tossed around a schoolbus and such.
