Hydro Flask Kids Food Jar Insulated Jr. Food Container - Keeps Lunch

Our review of the Hydro Flask Kids Food Jar finds it ideal for parents who want a small, durable insulated container for school lunches, camp and after-school activities. The single biggest reason to buy is its reliable temperature retention: the double-wall vacuum insulation keeps hot soups hot and cold snacks cold for hours, which makes packing a wide variety of meals simple. The 12 oz size and grippy, leakproof lid are tailored for children, and the included boot adds protection from drops while keeping the jar easy for kids to open.

Key Features

• 12 oz capacity: The compact size holds a child-sized portion of soup, noodles or snacks without being bulky in a backpack.
• Double-wall vacuum insulation: Maintains food temperature so hot meals stay warm and cold items stay chilled for hours.
• Leakproof lid: The threaded, sealable lid prevents spills when properly closed so it can be tossed into a bag worry-free.
• Dishwasher safe: Both lid and jar can go in the dishwasher, making cleanup easy and preserving the bright powder coat.
• Kid-friendly design: A grippy lid and protective boot make the jar easy for small hands to open and add durability against bumps.
• Durable finish: Color Last powder coat resists fading and stays sweat-free during use.

Who It's For

The Hydro Flask Kids Food Jar is best for families with preschool and elementary-aged children who need a reliable container for warm lunches, soups and snacks that travels to school, camp or practice. It is also a good pick for caregivers who value dishwasher-safe parts and bright, kid-friendly colors.

Parents who need very large portions, hot holding for an entire day, or a container designed specifically for adult-sized meals should look elsewhere; this 12 oz jar is purposefully compact and intended for children rather than full adult servings.
