Cute, calm and ready for lunchtime. The new Capybara collection by b.box has landed at Sinchies, and I am calling it: this is the cutest thing b.box has ever released. You clearly agree, because the first drop sold out in hours.
If you have a little animal lover at home, you already know capybaras are having a moment. They are the chilled-out, everybody's-friend animal that kids can't get enough of. Now they are on lunch boxes, snackboxes, drink bottles and a lunch bag.
It is a limited edition range, and the design sits on the b.box products families already know and trust. So you get the fun print without giving up any of the practical bits. Here is what is in the collection and how to put a set together.
What's in the Capybara collection
There are six pieces in the range. Mix and match, or go the full matching set.
b.box Original lunchbox - Capybara
The one for big appetites. It holds 2 litres (about 8 cups of food) and fits whole apples, bananas, bread rolls, wraps and even two crusts-on sandwiches.
- Two leakproof compartments for thicker foods like yoghurt, dips and custard
- A removable divider so you can change the layout
- A small gel ice pack that sits under the sandwich tray
- A simple latch kids can open on their own
b.box Mini lunchbox - Capybara
The one for small to medium appetites. If the lunch box keeps coming home with food in it, try the Mini. It holds 1 litre (about 4 cups of food).
- Fits a crusts-on sandwich cut in half
- The stretchy silicone seal fits whole pieces of fruit
- Two leakproof compartments for yoghurt, custard and dips
- A slide-and-glide divider and a carry handle
A good size for daycare, kindy, Prep or smaller school lunches.
b.box snackbox - Capybara
The little box for munch and crunch, crunch and sip, brain break, or whatever your school calls it. Two compartments with a stretchy seal let you pack small whole fruit next to yoghurt or dip without leaks. It is freezer safe, and dishwasher safe on the top rack.
b.box 600ml drink bottle - Capybara
The big kids' bottle for kindy and school. The triangle shape is easy for little hands to grip. A push button pops the lid open, and the bite valve straw helps prevent spills. Hand wash this one to keep the print looking good.
b.box 500ml insulated drink bottle - Capybara
For kids who like their water cold all day. The triple layer insulation keeps drinks cool for up to 15 hours, or warm for up to 8. It opens with one hand and has a built-in carry handle.
b.box insulated lunch bag - Capybara
A lightweight insulated bag with flexible sides, so it fits a lunch box and a snackbox together. It has a side pocket for the drink bottle and an inner mesh pocket for a gel cooler (sold separately). The best bit for parents: it is machine washable at 30 degrees.
How to put your Capybara set together
Start with how much your child eats, then build from there.
- Big eater: Original lunchbox + snackbox + drink bottle, all in the lunch bag
- Smaller appetite: Mini lunchbox + snackbox + drink bottle, all in the lunch bag
- Just want a touch of capybara: add the snackbox or a drink bottle to the lunch box you already own
The lunch bag fits these combinations:
- Original lunchbox + snackbox
- Original lunchbox + mini insulated food jar
- Mini lunchbox + snackbox
- Mini lunchbox + insulated food jar
- Mini lunchbox + snackbox + mini insulated food jar
Not sure which bottle? Choose the 600ml if your child drinks a lot and you want something light. Choose the insulated 500ml if cold water on a hot day is the priority.
Want more variety inside the box? Add a silicone insert tray to the lunch box, or a bento buddy - snack to the snackbox. They keep foods apart, which is a win if your child hates anything touching. You will find more options in our b.box accessories.
Don't wait too long on this one
Capybara is a limited edition design, and the first drop sold out in hours. If you can see it in stock, don't sit on it.
If your child would light up at a capybara lunch box on the first day of school, grab it while it is here. A lunch box they love is one they are excited to open, and that is half the battle with getting lunch eaten.
