Innobaby Bento Box Keepin’ Fresh

By Summer:

What’s your mommy word? You know, the one like Pee Wee Herman had, you hear it and it makes you so crazy happy you want to scream. Mine is BENTO! (AHHhhhh!)

You can put anything in a Bento! I love to bento for lunch and snacks on the go, and to preschool and next year in a lunchbox to avoid school cafeteria lunches. Oh wait, what is bento? Bento is a Japanese word for a box style which provides a compartment(s) offering a single portion of a dish. You can buy take and toss containers, but I love to be more eco so of course I love Innobaby bento.

Innobaby has a Keepin’ Fresh line in plastic, glass and stainless. Innobaby’s boxes are BPA FREE, Phthalate FREE, PVC FREE, and Lead FREE. Innobaby boxes are leak proof for mess free food packing, and I can speak to it as I’ve been using Innobaby for a year now. We use Innobaby products typically on the go and in my purse (so you know I don’t want snacks all in my purse … especially juicy ones).

Whether you’re a new mom or a veteran, Innobaby has products for you. Innobaby does offer a bottle system (which can convert with a straw top FYI) and crib sheets, but they also offer tableware (plates, cups, and bowls) and multi-use drink holders. You really need to check out their site to see what Innobaby can offer your family. Don’t forget to tell your friends about your Innobaby wish list too; great stocking stuffers – wink, wink Santa!IMG_9103

Get your bento on! Here are some bento ideas from my friend Angie. In bento each item is easy to prepare, pack, and eat though there is an art to it too. So bento with Innobaby!

Innobaby Keepin’ Fresh Baby Food Storage Solution Containers Review

By Summer:

We’re a family always on the go! We sleep in late and then we have to run to toddler group, preschool, MOMS Club events, or play dates. In the midst of all this we … ok, I … need to get these bottomless pits fed.

clip_image002It seems like foods these days come in only two sizes of packaging: bulk or snack. Though I have been collecting my snack size packages to recycle with Terracycle (you might remember them from my Bear Naked review), I find it to be a better deal to purchase in bulk. In bulk I typically get less packaging and best monetary value. The problem with bulk foods is size! I need things smaller for little fingers, transportation, portion control and storage. I found an answer with a Chicago based mommy-made small company, innobaby.

clip_image004I was asked by innobaby to review their Keepin’ Fresh baby food storage solution containers. I said yes because it’s something I knew I’d use all the time, and I liked the look of their hinge design locking seal tops which are airtight and leak proof. I also appreciate that their plastic materials are BPA, phthalate, PVC, and lead free. (You might be sold already. I know I was!) So I got my 2 pack stage 1 (90ml sized) packages and they are the PERFECT size for my needs.

clip_image005The innobaby Keepin’ Fresh system is made for moms like me! The containers are stain resistant so no scrubbing needed. Just add them to the top rack for safe dishwasher cleaning which by the way is more eco-friendly than hand washing dishes as it uses less water, and who really has the time to hand wash dishes anyway. The Keepin’Fresh system is freezer safe and microwave safe too (though you need to remove the lid). For storage they are also space-saving as they are stackable. (Don’t confuse them with innobaby’s Packin’ Smart which is an interlocking stacking storage system; though they look awesome and would be highly functionally for the snack-a-holic children like mine.)

clip_image006The innobaby Keepin’ Fresh system is also available in stage 2 (100ml) and glass (150ml). In addition to the Keepin’ Fresh and previously mentioned Packin’ Smart systems, innobaby makes stainless steel beverage containers, platters and bento boxes; bottles; straw cups; organic crib sheet toppers; and bamboo seat toppers for strollers and car seats. They all have cute little names like Keepin’ Fresh, Din Din Smart, Nursin’ Smart, Sleepin’ Smart, and Sittin’ Smart.

My opinion is these are a great buy! Innobaby containers are something for your own needs or for the mom-to-be on your shopping list. Use them at home or on the go. No more crushed snacks, soggy food, or open holes and escaping food from snack traps. Innobaby Keepin’ Fresh baby food storage solution containers are perfect for purse transport as I’m a fan of not carrying my diaper bag and purse. (I’ve never been a mom who could combine the two for the super-hybrid as other moms have done.)

For the writing of this post innobaby supplied me with one package of two Keepin’ Fresh Stage 1 (90ml) baby food storage containers.
