Canada AM Appearance – Cool Lunch Bags and Containers

09/03/2011

I was thrilled to make my National TV debut last week LIVE on Canada AM!  Representing ParentsCanada Magazine, I took the viewers through all of the cool lunch bags and gear available for back to school.  These products are ideal for a Litterless Lunch, also know as a Waste Free Lunch and fall into the following trends:

• Gear that the whole family can use

• Products that keep cool things cool, and hot things hot

• Customization for your child

• Recyclable containers = saved money

• Gear specifically for children with allergies

While the segment focused on school age children, there were a ton of amazing items for moms with infants and toddlers on the go.  Some of my favourites:

Glass Food Storage Conatainers By Wean Green

This set of two glass snack bowls allows you to store, freeze and reheat strange-shaped food with no risk of toxic leaching and no staining. Made of thick and tempered glass, these handy glass food containers feature airtight and leak-proof lids that are BPA-, PVC- and Phthalates-free. The lids are flat, making these round glass snack containers easy to stack. Smart clips keep the lids on and the contents securely inside. These glass containers can withstand extreme temperatures required to make, store, freeze, heat and serve food.

PackIt Lunch Bag

Bye-bye ice gel packs that only last for 2 hours. The bag is your icepack, and it stays cold for up to 10 hours. Conveniently sized at 8″x10″x5″ (8″x5″x2″ folded) the Packit is easy to fit in your freezer or take on-the-go.

Every GOODBYN Lunchbox kit has been designed all of the Goodbyn lunchbox products with the same considerations: Easy-to-open, a built-in handle, a selection of containers, an 8-ounce bottle and a sticker set so the kids can make each lunchbox their own!
