A lunchbox - as in storage - question

I want to know what everyone else puts their kids lunches in... and the drink bottles.

what do you do to stop the condensation on the drink bottle getting the bag wet? and what lunchbox is big enough to fit it all in?

with gabriel i had an ice age tupperware bag but it got grotty very quickly and i had to throw it out. it fited everything in but the lunch box itself will only fit a certain type of yoghurts and the sistema ones are almost full once i put the sandwich keeper in it!

and next term i will have two kids to pack lunches for!

I used to use the padded ones until I read an article about the lead in them so now use plastic ones. My boys have the large ones.

I use small pump bottles for water & reuse them for about a week & get new ones. In the summer I part freeze them. I don't put them in the lunch box but wrap them in a small towel.

I saw some at the warehouse recently - a new brand which I typically can't remember the name of, but they do cool stuff like stacking round boxes and lunch boxes with diff compartments that seemed quite deep.

We've got a padded smash one with a compartment in the top, where I put his morning tea and the larger bottom compartment (it looks like a pirates treasure chest, lol) fits his tupperware sandwhich keeper and a yogurt and fruit and I can also squeeze bikkes etc in there too. Having the two sections are cool, too, saves him eating it all at playtime cos he knows that the bottom half is lunch food etc. The nude food containers/lunchboxes are quite cool, but you need to think about what you will put in there and if its gonna fit! But you know that anyhow since oyu have had a trail run with #1!! Miss 3 just has a square box lunchbox thing, she'll let an upgrade when she needs more room.
Drink just goes in the side of his bag in the bottle holder as they take theirs into class anyhow.
I haven't used freezy things yet, will cross that hurdle once the temperature gets above 10 degrees, lol.

Oh and baby city were doing some little back pack ones too...

We have those compartmental ones - sammies go in the top, everything else in the bottom (fruit, snack bar, rice crackers, container of yoghurt ....) Dan's carer gave it to us - I think she was sick of the ice cream containers! You get them at the WH or Foodtown ( though I don't know if I'm allowed to mention brand names anymore - might be "advertising )
