Best Lunch Box for School: What to Look For
The best lunch box for school is insulated to keep food safe, made from easy-clean, BPA-free material, and roomy enough to hold a bento box and a drink. Everything else comes down to your child's routine and the print they like.
What to look for
- Insulation. A soft-sided insulated lunch box keeps food cool until lunchtime with an ice pack.
- Safe materials. Look for BPA-free, lead-free, and phthalate-free.
- Easy to clean. A wipe-clean interior saves you every single morning.
- The right size. Big enough for a bento tray, not so big it will not fit the backpack.
- Durable zippers and a comfortable handle or strap.

Lunch box, bento box, or both?
