I encouraged my son to buy a metal lunch box this year because I was so tired of trying to clean and disinfect the plastic ones he's used over the past several years. (The plastic absorbs smells and I have vowed to avoid them in the future.) The "Cars" lunchbox seemed to fit our needs, as my son loved the movie. I decided to splurge for the $9.99 cost because we had searched many other places and this had not been available. So far, so good.But here's what I hadn't counted on:** The lunchbox is quite small, even for a kindergartener. We will have to cram the food in and pack the thermos separately.** The $9.99 price was bearable, but the additional $5.99 in shipping fees put the cost of this over the top. I forgot to think about that when we made the purchase, so the mistake was mine.My overall assessment: This purchase was a mistake. Cute, but not big enough and too costly!
