Testimonials:
"I've been searching for a leak- proof lunchbox that allows me to pack a variety of healthy options for my preschooler. Finally found it in yumbox! My daughter loves the color and can easily open the latch. Highly recommend!" S Chase
"I have tried all sorts of different lunchbox options for my two kids, ages 3 and 7. I settled on Yumbox and now own four. What sets Yumbox apart is that it truly is leakproof for sauces, yogurt, etc." Linda B
"We bought this to send to school as a lunch-packaging-system for our young toddler's lunch. He has food allergies so everything has to be prepared at home and our previous system involved multiple little plastic boxes/containers. In addition to making it easier for his daycare providers, it has also unexpectedly helped us at home." Micah H
"I bring my lunch to work knowing I'm not overdoing the proportions, the interlocking lid keeps the foods separated (no leaks), and everything looks wonderful and fresh." Cassie
