3 Compartment Stainless Steel Lunch Box - 800 ml - Purple Dino - Girls

Most kids' lunch boxes rely on a flimsy snap lid that loosens after a few washes, so yoghurt, dips and juicy fruit end up leaking into the bag. For a child, that means a soggy sandwich they won't eat, a wet reader or homework book, and a backpack that needs cleaning out again. Our stainless steel boxes use a proper silicone-sealed, leak-proof lid that clamps down tight and keeps wet and dry foods exactly where you packed them, so bag, books and lunch all stay dry.

A lot of cheap plastic lunch boxes are made with BPA and other chemicals that aren't meant to sit against food all day. These can leach into your child's meal, especially when the box gets warm in a hot schoolbag or car, and studies have linked them to disruption of children's developing hormones. Our boxes are made from food-grade stainless steel with no plastic touching the food, so there's nothing to leach, even on the hottest days. What your child eats stays exactly that: their food, and nothing else.

Standard plastic soaks up everything, from last week's tuna to curry and pasta sauce, and ends up permanently stained and a bit smelly no matter how hard you scrub. That means a box that looks grubby and a child who pushes their lunch away because it "smells funny." Stainless steel is completely non-porous, so it never absorbs colours or odours, it wipes clean and stays fresh, lunch after lunch.

Kids drop their lunch box daily, off desks, down stairs, into the bottom of a bag, and thin plastic cracks, splits or stops sealing within a term. A broken box means leaks return, food spoils, and you're buying another one mid-year. Stainless steel doesn't crack or shatter, at worst it picks up a small dent and keeps right on sealing, and food-grade steel won't rust, so one box easily outlasts the whole school year and many after it.

Hand-washing a fiddly lunch box every single night is the job no parent wants, and many plastic boxes warp, cloud or crack the moment they go near a dishwasher. Skip-washing leads to lingering bacteria and that grimy build-up in the corners kids' food sits in all day. Our stainless steel boxes are fully dishwasher safe and won't warp or discolour, so you load it, run it and you're done, for a properly clean box with zero effort.

Flimsy plastic boxes don't last, so they crack, get binned and get replaced again and again, sending more single-use plastic to landfill every year. Stainless steel is built to be used for years and is fully recyclable at the end of its life, so one box replaces a whole stack of throwaway containers, better for your wallet and far kinder to the planet. (Please note: like all stainless steel, these boxes are not microwave safe.)
