Lands End’s MadBox lunchbags incorporate smart design features like velcro around the seams, as well as a large, adjustable ice pack, to insure that contents in the bag stay safely cold for five hours–enough time between lunch packing and lunch eating.
But what is even more cool is that these bags were developed by a FIRST LEGO League team of kids (we profiled FIRST here.) One of their challenges was to come up with an idea that would help to keep food safe, and they chose an area that was near and dear: Their own lunches.
As for the style, the six designs range from the cool international patches design at top to colorful checks. And, since these cool bags could be very hot this upcoming school year, I love the optional monogramming Lands’ End offers for a few dollars more, to keep your kid’s pack separate from the pack. –Christina
It is TOO COOL that kids helped design this bag. I’m loving this.
I saw this too in the catalog. The question is, how can I motivate my middle schooler and high schooler to use the reusable lunch bags & containers? They insist on throwaway lunches!
Have you talked about how cool recycling and eco-friendly materials are Debbie? Brown bag lunches are soooo 1989 😉
