Parkland Rodeo Lunch Kit<\/a><\/h4>\n

Our first lunch bag to consider is Parkland\u2019s Rodeo Lunch Kit<\/a>, a true lunch hero. The exterior is made from recycled plastic water bottles, which is awesome! The main perk of this one is the front zip pocket that\u2019s perfect for snacks<\/a>, cutlery<\/a>, cute notes to your little one, snack bags<\/a>, or even small snack containers like Crocodile Creek Snack Keepers<\/a>. The inside is insulated, easy to wipe, and big enough to fit almost<\/em> all lunch containers<\/a>. We did find that o bnto Bento Boxes<\/a> were too big for this bag. Check out the infographic above for all the combinations we tried!<\/p>\n

Crocodile Creek Classic Lunch Box<\/a><\/h4>\n

The next lunch bag is a real classic, Crocodile Creek\u2019s Classic Lunch Box<\/a>. This was the largest of the three lunch bags we tried out, and even has a zippered pouch at the front for small snack bags like Russbe’s<\/a> or Colibri\u2019s<\/a>, cutlery<\/a>, and cute notes \u2013 anything flat is fair game! This bag fits the o bnto Bento Box<\/a> with room to spare on top for snack bags<\/a> or an ice pack<\/a>. All the water bottles we tried fit comfortably on the inside, but if you opt for a larger bento box, it\u2019s a good idea to try the S\u2019ip water bottle<\/a> since it can be attached the handle. Refer to the infographic above to see how everything fit together best!<\/p>\n

SoYoung Lunch Box<\/a><\/h4>\n

Last but certainly not least, we tried out SoYoung\u2019s Lunch Box<\/a> \u2013 a local Toronto brand we\u2019ve come to know and love. The rectangular, classic shape was similar to the Crocodile Creek Classic Bag<\/a>, but there\u2019s no extra zippered pocket on the front. We liked the detachable long strap so kids can wear as a messenger bag or even backpack, and loved that it is fully machine washable! This bag is big enough for all the bento boxes, water bottles, and snack bags and containers we tried\u2014check out the infographic above to see the best combinations!<\/p>\n
