Kids Konserve - Review

PhotobucketLike any parent, keeping my child safe and healthy is of paramount concern for me. Buying organic food, and using "green" and safe items whenever possible is one of the ways I go about it. And being BPA-free is a must in when I go buy stuff for my kids. Now that my toddler is going to pre-school (sort of!) I was browsing online looking for something safe to pack his lunch in. That's when I came across a wonderful site called Kids Konserve which offers a complete line of reusable food storage options from complete waste-free lunch kits to individual reusable containers and beverage bottles, all made from the safest, non-leaching, bisphenol-A free (BPA) lead free and phthalate free materials.

One of their best-sellers (which they sent me for review) is the Food Kozy. They're a great reusable alternative to plastic baggies, plastic wrap and foil, that all ends up in the trash, and quite often our landfills. I use them to wrap sandwiches for Kiddo to take to lunch at school, but they're also perfect to pack all summer snacks in. My kid reports that the sandwiches keep well, there is no "strange" smell as is the case with plastic baggies and the velcro tabs make it a breeze to open and close, even for his tiny toddler hands. My only beef with them is that they don't hold multiple sandwiches well, especially when they're made with thick bread slices. I just wish they came in bigger sizes for bigger food. The current solution is to buy more of these Food Kozies and they're easily affordable at $25 for a set of 5. Just imagine the amount of paper, plastic etc that you're not going to throw in trash and potentially harm Mother Earth, with this easy, green and practical solution! The Food Kozy is also easy to wash - just rinse/wash in the sink and air dry in minutes.

They have a lot of other great products over at Kids Konserve like recycled Canvas sacks, Stainless steel bottles (now these are a great alternative to plastic bottles/sippy cups and have great designs), Stainless steel food containers etc. I particularly liked the idea of their "LARGE TIFFIN" which is a unique, Stackable food carrying bento box. (I really, really wanted them to send this item for review as I myself had a version of it to take to school, but alas...)

So save the green in your wallet and in Nature by visiting Kids Konserve and getting something that's safe and eco-friendly at the same time.
