Yubo Lunchbox Review


As the mom of a full-time kindergartener and with my littlest guy going off to preschool this coming September (gasp), I am always in need of school supplies, especially lunchboxes for some reason. I've purchased two lunchboxes for my kindergartener this year already and they have both been completely destroyed, and it's only April. Granted, they have been the soft padded kind, but between the spills and god knows what, the ones I have gotten for him have been ruined. I was lucky enough to get to review a Yubo Lunchbox recently and it is honestly the best lunchbox I've ever used.

My favorite part about this lunchbox is the fact that the face plates are interchangable. I received the Nature Face Plate set (pictured below), which is adorable, right? Yubo offers personalized face plates, too! The Yubo lunchbox provides containers that fit perfectly right inside the lunchbox. The Yubo Deluxe comes with three containers, but fear not, you can purchase them separately if extras are needed. It has a reusable icepack, which is perfect for keeping lunches cold from the time the kiddos head out to school until lunch time. And if your kids are anything like mine and come home with a lunchbox full of crumbs and spilled applesauce, just pull it apart and put it in the dishwasher. Easy as pie.

Yubo Lunchboxes are:

BPA free
Antimicrobial
Recyclable
Dishwasher Safe


Features of the Yubo Lunchbox:

■Change Your Look – Change your faceplates as often as you like. Upload a photo or choose from our professionally designed faceplates.
■No More Baggies – Three sizes of custom containers – all built to fit Yubo in any configuration. Mix and match for the perfect lunch, or go empty for the ultimate in space and flexibility.
■You’ve Got Options – Yubo comes in two configurations to fit your lifestyle and budget, Standard and Deluxe available.
