Goodbyn was generous enough to let me try out some of their products so that I can share my honest opinion with my readers. I have tried and tested these containers for three months and I am very happy with their products so far. I love that they are very durable and made with BPA and pththalates free, Lead-Safe, FDA-approved materials, and they are dish-washer safe (a big plus in my book!). The lids are easy to open and easy to close (they stay closed too). They are not liquid-proof, but they are spill-proof, foods in different compartments stay in their own compartments even the tiniest of crumbs. These products are also very affordable starting at only $5.00 for a lunch container ($4.00 for a snack container)! When you have more than one child to pack lunch for, price can be a big factor when considering which lunch box to choose from.
There is only one thing I dislike about the bento containers, and that’s the handles on the Goodbyn Hero and Bynto. For me, they are not necessary and they get in the way when trying to make the box fit in our standard rectangular Thermos brand lunch bag. Goodbyn does carry their own insulated lunch bags that are designed to fit these bentos perfectly, but if you don’t want to have to purchase a different bag for each lunch box you own, then you need to factor in the price of the bag and the lunch box depending on the Goodbyn container. Other than the handles, Goodbyn is a great brand with a variety of containers and colors to choose from. My kids have enjoyed using the Goodbyn containers for lunch and I have really enjoyed packing lunch in them.
Goodbyn Small Meal & Goodbyn Snacks
Goodbyn Small Meal is a two-compartment container that is great for small kids, or for those with smaller appetites. It is versatile in the way that it can be used on its own or in conjunction with the Goodbyn Snacks containers. I like to pack a sandwich and a side in the Small Meal container and snacks such as yogurt and fruit in the Snacks container for later. This is a good idea if your kids have snack time before lunch and you don’t want them to get all of their lunch out, they can just pull out the Snacks container. I have also use both of these containers when I pack a hot meal in a Thermos, as these serve as side containers. They fit perfectly in a standard lunch bag with room for extras. The dimensions for the Goodbyn Snacks containers are 6.5” x 3.25” x 2.5” and 6.5” x6.5” 2.5” for the Goodbyn Small Meal meal containers.
Goodbyn Bynto is a three-compartment bento box that allows for a variety of foods for lunch packing. The compartments are sealed off each other to keep food separated. Goodbyn Bynto is designed to fit a Goodbyn Bottle (sold separately) in the middle compartment for added functionality. This is a good size bento box at 6.25” wide, 10.25” long and 2.5” in depth. It will fit a standard lunch bag with very snuggly with room for a thin ice pack. I like the handle, but it is not necessary as we never use it by itself, we always carry it in an insulated bag.
Goddbyn Hero is also a three-compartment bento box and it is my favorite because it is large enough for bigger appetites. The dimension are 6.83” wide, 10.72” long, and 2.74 in” in depth. It comes with two dippers perfect for dips, salsas, yogurts, etc. This bento box fits salads, sandwiches, wraps, pasta and so on. The handle is again unnecessary for us, but it is cute. My 3-year-old daughter likes to carry toys in it when she goes to grandma’s house so the handle in her case is necessary, but other than that, we carry it inside an insulated bag. Since this bento is a little larger than the Bynto, it does not fit in our standard lunch bag (7.5”X 9.5” X 3.5”) because of the handle, so I end up using it more than my kids because I carry lunch totes for work instead.
The Goodbyn Bottle is an 8 oz drink bottle with a slim design (fits in both the Goodbyn Bynto and Hero), it is leak proof and easy to open. It has no straws making it is very easy to clean. I love this drink bottle because it is the perfect portion for juice or milk. It has replaced our disposable juice boxes and we save so much money in the end.
