Lunchboxes
In this category you will find three carefully selected lunchboxes for children and on-the-go. The selection focuses on models suitable for daily use in kindergarten, school, or on trips. All boxes are designed to transport food leftovers safely while being child-friendly to operate.
What should you consider when buying a lunchbox? The key factors are material, size, and leak-proofness. Plastic boxes are lightweight and often shatterproof, but make sure they are BPA-free. Stainless steel variants are more durable and taste-neutral, but heavier. The featured models are made of food-grade plastic or stainless steel — ideal for everyday use. The size determines whether the box fits into a school backpack or is more intended for picnics. A leak-proof seal prevents sauces or yogurt from spilling out. Especially with small children, divided compartments or removable inserts are practical for keeping fruit, bread, and snacks separate.
All three products — the Rice Brotdose groß in Flamingo design, the Fresk Frühstücksdose Schwäne, and the Fresk Frühstücksdose Waldtiere — cover different needs. The Brotdose offers plenty of volume for large portions, while the Frühstücksdosen are designed more for smaller meals or snacks. The child-friendly motifs make unpacking a joy. When choosing, pay attention to the closure mechanism: snap closures are easy for children to open, rubber bands or clips require a bit more skill. All models are dishwasher-safe (without the lid for some variants), which makes cleaning much easier.
A common mistake when buying is underestimating the leakproofness. Check whether the box is equipped with a silicone seal. Temperature resistance also plays a role: some boxes are suitable for warm food, others only for cold. The models shown here are optimized for cold to lukewarm contents. For hot soups, we recommend separate thermal containers from the category Drinking Bottles or Insulated Bottles.
Generous volume for kindergarten or school, with a child-friendly motif.
Compact box with swan motif, ideal for small portions and snacks.
Forest animal motif, robust and easy to clean – perfect for trips.
The models shown cover a wide range: from the large lunchbox for the whole day's needs to the compact breakfast boxes for on the go. All three are designed to be leak-proof and made from food-safe materials. For daily use, we recommend cleaning the box thoroughly after each use and regularly checking the seal for damage.
Other categories
Matching the Lunchboxes category, you will find in the parent section Travel & Travel more products that complete your trips with children. If you want to take drinks along as well as food, Drink bottles are the ideal supplement. Look for leak-proof models with child-friendly mouthpieces.
For larger trips or journeys where more than just one meal needs to be transported, Small cases. They are more robust and offer space for additional snacks, toys or a change of clothes. Also children's backpacks with an integrated cooling function can be a sensible alternative if the lunchbox is not to be carried separately. Consider how your child will transport the items: A backpack with a side compartment for the water bottle and a main compartment for the lunchbox is often more practical than two separate containers.
