I actually don't use any of the cute bento boxes. I just use one of those glad reusable plastic containers and put all the food in slicone cupcake liners. I've been eyeing some tin lunch boxes but haven't purchase any yet.

don't get the ones that have shapes like frogs with two layers. the odd shapes make it harder to put a lot of food in.
i mostly use this one:
and a similarly sized lock and lock box that's been discontinued.

I bought a couple of brands in different sizes - Lock n lock and Sistema. When my oldest started preschool at 2.5 he hardly ate anything so I packed him using the smallest 3-divider lock n lock containers. Then as he started eating more I would use a 2-divider Sistema; and now I use this Lock n lock one all the time. I found some at a Korean market and then bought some from the Lock n lock website. The divided containers come out so if you can also use silicone cupcake cups as dividers as well.

@Mrs. Bee: @808love: Thanks! I think the green one looks like a good size for the amount that DD has been eating. Gonna order one.

It comes with containers with lids and without. And you can buy other containers separately depending on what sizes you want.

@Rubies: that one is really cute! Does R's daycare provide food or you have to bring it?

@Andrea: Daycare provides food but LO has so few teeth that she can't eat everything they make so just in case, I send other food.
