Which Lunchbox Is Best for Me?  The Ultimate Mum Made Yum Size Guide

Choosing the right lunchbox can feel overwhelming, especially when every child has different eating habits and appetites. At Mum Made Yum, we get this question all the time: “Which lunchbox is best for me (or my child)?” 💬

The good news? Whether your little one only needs a light snack for kindy, or your teenager devours a full wrap, fruit, and hot lunch every day, we’ve got you covered. Here’s our complete breakdown of our bento lunchbox sizes, so you can confidently choose the perfect fit for your family.

Mini Bento Lunchbox – The Snack Star 

Our Mini Bento is the go-to for:

• Crunch ’n sip at school

• Snack time at daycare or playdates

• Small appetites or picky eaters

• Lunch order days (when they just need a few extras on the side)

It’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for on-the-go snacking. Parents love it as a second lunchbox for fruit break or weekend outings.

Medium Bento Lunchbox – The Everyday Favourite 

The Medium Bento is designed for just the right amount. It’s perfect for:

• Primary school kids with a moderate appetite

• Balanced lunches with room for variety

• Busy days when snacks need to be packed alongside lunch

Think of it as the happy middle ground, not too big, not too small, just practical and versatile.

Large Bento Lunchbox – The All-In-One Hero 

If you want one lunchbox that does it all, the Large Bento is your winner. It’s big enough to fit:

• Sandwiches, wraps, rolls or sushi

• Fruit, veggies, snacks, and dips

• Enough food to cover both lunch and recess

This is a favourite for parents who want the peace of mind that everything fits in one box.

Maxi Bento Lunchbox – Built for Big Appetites 

For growing kids, teenagers, and even adults, the Maxi Bento is the ultimate powerhouse. With its generous size, you can pack:

• A full wrap or large sandwich

• A whole apple and banana

• Extra snacks to fuel after-school activities

• Hot food in the included thermal food jar

It’s the ideal option for sports days, high school, teenagers' with a big appetite or anyone who eats a little more.

Mighty Bento Lunchbox – The Compact Powerhouse 

Meet the Mighty Bento - the perfect middle ground between the Large and the Maxi. It’s made for kids with hearty appetites who don’t quite need the extra bulk of the Maxi, and it's plastic-free!

It’s ideal for:

• Packing a generous lunch + snacks in one box

• Fitting sandwiches, sushi, wraps, or pasta

• Parents who want a versatile size without being too big for school bags

• Parents seeking a plastic-free lunchbox option

The Mighty gives you more room than the Large but keeps things lighter and more compact than the Maxi... a win-win for both parents and kids.
