LunchBots - Product Review and Giveaway!

LunchBots makes 100% stainless steel lunch containers that provide a safe alternative to the traditional plastic containers.  These containers do not leach chemicals and they are reusable, which is better for the environment and your wallet!

LunchBots come in four different sizes.  Two of the sizes have a split compartment and two of the sizes are not split so you can store items like sandwiches and burritos without a problem.

I tried out the LunchBots Pico (shown above), which was made specifically for toddler size portions of food and to fit in your diaper bag.  I used it to carry everything from cheese and crackers to fruit and sandwich bites.  It was just the perfect size for my toddler’s appetite!  I also loved how the lid stayed on securely in my bag and the container is flat enough that it slips into my diaper bag nicely, without being bulky.

Why avoid plastics? (from http://www.lunchbots.com/whyavoidplastic.html):
From our dishes and toys to our food packaging, there's a reason to think twice about plastic. Plastics come in numerous varieties, but many of them often contain toxic additives that can influence a plastic’s properties. Color, texture, hardness, these can all be changed to improve performance or reduce cost – even though the additives used might be potentially dangerous.
A commonly used additive is a plasticizer. Plasticizers, such as adipates and phthalates, soften plastics to be used in food packaging, teethers, toys, and many other household products. This becomes an issue when a plastic comes into contact with food. Traces of these chemicals can leach out of the plastic, exposing your family to their harmful effects

You Can Make A Difference!
At LunchBots, we've dedicated ourselves to creating safe alternatives to plastic products. BPA-free and biodegradable plastics can only address some of the concern -- and it's far from a big-picture solution. Glass, stainless steel, bamboo, and other materials are just as effective and don't have any of plastics’ inherent dangers. By selecting these alternatives, you're making healthier choices for your family and our planet.
We believe that every little change makes a difference. While it may be challenging to live a completely plastic-free lifestyle, we can all make small adjustments that accumulate into a big impact.
Conclusion:
I really love this container!  Easy to clean, cute, easy to pack and carry, and most importantly – safe for my child.  Thanks LunchBots for a great product.
