4.0 out of 5 stars Happy so far! Only used once so far. The container is a great size and allows for good portions. The latches are very easy to open a close and the container is lightweight. I’m not ecstatic about the price but that does come with quality and I wanted something stainless steel for my child. I did make a mistake of putting sauce in the silicone part and it leaked onto the rest of the food so maybe avoid putting sauce in there. Otherwise happy so far!Variation: Color: Pink
