Are you looking for the best lunchbox for your child as they return to school?

And wondering how to go about picking the best Lunchbox to use?

Should you buy a kids lunchbox with compartments or one without?

And how can you be as sustainable as possible when sending school lunches in the school bags?

There’s so much choice out there in Irish shops and online, it can be overwhelming!

Here’s some factors to consider when choosing a school lunchbox for your child:

1. what age is your child? This will help determine how big their lunchbox needs to be.

2. what will you be putting into the lunchbox? Does your child prefer a ‘picky’ lunch or are they more of a sandwich lover. This will help determine the shape and size of the lunchbox you’ll need.

3. ease of opening the lunchbox - key especially for younger children. Get them to practice at home opening and closing their lunchboxes before putting them into the school bags!

4. BPA free - BPA can leach into food so best to stick to BPA-free lunchbox solutions

5. ease of cleaning - whatever lunchbox you buy, make sure it is easy to clean! Many options can go into the dishwasher saving you yet another task.

6. price - this may of course be the determining factor
