I'm a big fan mealtime organizers that are made to help with the baby stages but will remain useful well beyond that age. The Skip Hop Bento Mealtime Kit is no exception to this rule. It works wonderfully well as a snack and meal organizer for the baby & toddler foods, but can also be utilized by an older child heading off to school.
The 14-piece set includes an insulated cooler bag and perfect-fit reusable freezer pack to keep things cool, as well as 6 of their innovative CLIX containers with lids. Each container can be used separately or linked together with a "clix" to form a travel feeding set. The cooler bag can accommodate up to 3 containers at once and also has room enough left inside to tuck a spoon/fork along with a napkin. There is even an elastic strap outside the cooler bag that allows for the wrangling of a single bottle, sippy cup, or juice box.
The Skip Hop Bento Mealtime Kit is made of Food-safe materials, and is BPA-Free, PVC-Free, as well as Phthalate-Free. Additionally, the 3.5" x 3.5"x 2" containers are microwave and dishwasher-safe. I loved that the system gave you "back-up" bowls and lids so one set can be used while the other set is washed. In a perfect world, I'd have added a "back-up" freezer pack as well, but regardless I think it's a terrific set that we'll put to use long after our twins leave the toddler era.
*Much thanks to Skip Hop for providing the Bento Mealtime Kit for our review.
