Goodbyn Bynto Review



When Goodbyn contacted me to see if we would like to review their Bynto lunch box I was thrilled. We started our journey of healthier lunches - waste free more then 2 years ago with three Goodbyn Originals.


An unsurprisingly we LOVE the Bynto.

The Bynto is BPA and phtalate-free, dishwasher safe and 100% recyclable!

My kids love the clear lid. It gives you a great preview of what's for lunch today!


All my kids love this lunchbox but it is easy to open and close for my 4 year old which is one of the points I look for in all lunchboxes. It is also incredibly versatile! Shown here is a lunch with a Goodbyn bottle (sold separately - I still had ours from 2 years ago) but you really can get creative on how and what you pack for lunch:

We packed a lot of different lunches in our Bynto since we had it and I loved how spacious it was. I could pack a lot or a little. It fit our food pouches and silicone cups and over all it is easy to use and easy to clean (double points for us busy Moms!)

Stickers are available on their website and since the Originals came with stickers I loved that Goodbyn included these for us! We had such a great time picking our design and if the kids ever want to change it you can either redecorate (we had quite a few fun stickers left!) or buy more/different stickers. Endless possibilities and lots of sticker fun!

We also tried out their Blue Beast Insulated Lunch Bag and I have to say: I LOVE IT! It is incredibly roomy! We can easily fit our Thermos Funtainer, the Bynto, two ice packs and a snack box!

Overall, I would highly recommend this lunchbox, the insulated lunch bag, bottle and stickers! We have had our Goodbyn Originals for 2 1/2 years without any issues and even my three bottles are still going strong!

Pros:
  • BPA and phtalate free
  • dishwasher safe
  • versatile
  • 100 % recyclable
  • easy to open
  • 3 containers in 1 (Reduces use of plastic bags and saves up to $190/year!)
  • lunch bag is very roomy
  • lunch bag has pocket to hold ice packs
  • lunch bag has a clasp strap handle (perfect for attaching to your backpack)
  • lunch bag liner pulls out for easy cleaning!
  • stickers are fun and dishwasher safe
Overall, A+

I really haven't found any cons to speak of besides the fact that the Bynto is not leak proof. However, you can purchase leak proof containers for dips separately.

  1. We have these same containers. From a mom with a TON of lunch containers these are by far my favorite! Super easy to clean, very roomy. We had the originals as well and I always felt like they were too big. These are perfect!!

  2. I've read a lot of reviews where people were saying they couldn't fit the goodbyn in the bag. Did you have any trouble or are they just using the larger goodbyn? I picked up the same goodbyn that you have and was just wondering if the bag is a good or bad idea. Thanks!

    1. Carrie, the Goodbyn Bynto fits in the bag without problems! However the Goodbyn Original is too big and I read, too, that people were disappointed. The last picture shows the Bynto in the bag and there is still plenty of room. I normally pack a Bynto, ice pack, Thermos and snack all in the one bag :) Because of the shape of the Bynto I sometimes have to wiggle it to get in but it fits just fine and I personally love the bag. Hope that helps. You can email me at nina@mamabelly.com if you have more questions!
