The Verdict: Our #1 Lunch Box Pick
After 6 months of real-world testing with my own kids and comparing against 15+ alternatives, The Good Kiind Explorer is the clear winner.
Why Good Kiind Won Over PlanetBox
1. Removable Silicone Seal = Game Changer
PlanetBox Rover is NOT leak-proof. Food moves between compartments. Good Kiind includes a removable silicone seal that prevents food from moving, contains thicker liquids like yogurt, and pops out for deep cleaning.
2. Silicone Latch = Kid-Friendly
The silicone-wrapped lever is easier for young kids (ages 4-6) to operate than magnetic latches. My 4-year-old operates it independently on day one.
3. Better Compartment Layout
10" x 7.25" x 2.25" with 5 compartments specifically sized for sandwiches + sides. The deeper profile means you can pack MORE food.
Materials & Safety
- 304 Stainless Steel (18/8): Zero plastic touching food
- Platinum Silicone: FDA approved, temperature stable
- LFGB Certified: European food safety standard (stricter than FDA)
The Bottom Line
At full price its a tough call. But during sales (40% off = $60), Explorer is unquestionably the best value in non-toxic lunch boxes.
