This is along the lines of the lunch post below. My son has a lunch container from Lands End and I Have no idea how I am going to fit enough food for this child and fit his water bottle. I got him the smaller Klean Kanteen so it is not huge but it still takes up space. I have plastic ziplock containers and they barely fit and he used those for snack last year so I do not know if they will be big enough. I really wan a Planet Box but really need to try to make this work before buying more. And this is when I kick myself for buying all this plastic crap instead of what I really wanted because I have probably spent half the money I would have for Planet Box. So I am not sure what I am asking except do other people have trouble fitting enough food?

Re: Drinks in lunchbox
Kate I thought of doing that but worried that a 6yo would forget to bring it to lunch or forget to take it back after lunch. I will consider that if we need more room. What I should really do is figure out how to sew a damn pocket on the side!
My kids use and love this lunch box from llbean. It has a compartment on the top for their drink and then the whole bottom is strictly for their food. I have never had a problem fitting all of their food in the bottom compartment.
