Is this suitable for a kid's school lunch? I'd like to put a sandwich in the bottom, fresh fruits and veggies in the top and dip. Will this work?

Yes, perfect for sandwiches and kid-sized salads, NOT GOOD for adult-sized salads...

Yes, I've used this for my daughter's school lunch for 2 years and she loves it. She doesn't like dip so I just put a treat - a cookie, a few small marshmallows, or yogurt covered raisins - where the container would go. I put fruit or veggies on one side and crackers or pretzels on the other side. I put a sandwich or mini bagel at the bottom and sometimes a cheese stick.

Yes. I use this for both salads and sandwiches. It's the perfect size. Enjoy.

Absolutely! The dressing container is the perfect size for any dressing/dip and there are two top compartments. The bottom is also perfect size for a sandwich. That is exactly what I use it for! Hope this helps.

Do not cook it in microwave, it is pretty bad to heat this kind if plastic. That's why I buy the bag ones, then use my own bowl for it. Don't feed ur kids too much of it, it's real junk food. I like it, but I only eat this couple times a month.

Yes they would hold a sandwich but we no longer use it for that because it gets squashed in his lunch box. We use it mostly for chips and other lunch box items.

My daughter and I think you should not have a problem putting a lunch in the X part of the case it. The X is very stretchy due to it's elastic bottom attachment.

Sorry, I don't have the entree kit, only the sandwich kit and the salad kit. The sandwich box is average bread size, but pretty deep. I actually have to wrap my sandwich first in saran wrap, because it doesn't fit snug enough and the filling slides out. It's still useful though because otherwise my sandwich would get all mushed up in my bag/backpack.

I agree with Terry that Ms Bento Lunch can't hold a lot of food if you are buying for an adult lunch box. I got the Ms version for my son to bring warm lunch to daycare. It can hold one bowl of rice at the bottom and some veges on the top.

Oatmeal, no problem. Star pasta(like Campbell's chicken and stars soup) sure. The are that it must fit through is about the size of a McDonalds milkshake straw, so if your fruit or veg is relatively soft and could fit through that sized opening, then it should be able to come through this ok. I wouldn't want the chunks to be solid enough to pose a choking hazard though--even an adult could get an unwelcome surprise sucking a green pea through a short straw right? So I would go with at least a "mashed" consistency, not a "chopped" texture if you get my meaning.

Perhaps you should use the measurements from the sandwich and combo set and the measurements from the lunch box you are looking at as the lunch box I bought is quite small as I did not look at the measurements. Good luck Amazon pictures are shown bigger than the actual items so pay attention to the dimensions of the items.

My son, who is twelve, uses it for school lunch and has not had a problem getting it open. He is a small, skinny boy.

I just tried it...and it doesn't really work. If you knew the top tray wouldn't get bumped, it would do fine but I wouldn't trust my kids with it without making a huge mess. :)

Yes it can. Just watch that the lunch is not very cruncy as the content can get smushed.

Not really, but I haven't used it for anything really watery. Mostly kiddos lunch, without much sauce and everything stays in place :)

I put lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, etc in the bottom part. In the top container, I put cheese, a hard boiled egg, croutons, bacon bits, and ranch dressing. I leave around 6am and eat around 11:30am and I've never had a problem. This has worked fine for me. :-)

I drop a yogurt cup into it for my son lunch and it holds it from about 8:30 until he is eating lunch 12:45ish. I would imagine you would get same results or better with homemade yogurt since the pre-packaged cups leave some air space in the container.

I would recommend something with more vertical edges. Try searching lunch tray or something. This is about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep, but because it is such a gentle slope I think it would be easy to push off the plate. You could definitely separate pureed foods, but if lack of coordination is a big issue I've seen ones on Amazon that I think might work better.
