Will the Rubbermaid Tall Lunchblox System Fit in an LL Bean Flip-Top Lunch Box?

Hi B.! Thanks for asking your question.
Even though measurements might suggest that "something will fit", we all know that in practice this is not always the case. Since it appears no one else has used these to systems together, you might be stuck with testing it out for yourself.
If it was me, I would decide which of these two systems (the lunchblox or the flip-top lunch box) I would much prefer to use. Then I would take that system to a store where they sell the second and just play with it to see if there is a configuration that will work. (If you're really lucky, you'll be able to find both items at the same store, and not have to buy anything until you've "played" with it.)
As a reminder, when it comes to containers, the abilities of children does not equal the abilities of adults. I always have my daughter try to open any container I will send with her for lunch. If she can't easily open it, I don't buy it. If she can't zip/unzip on her own, I don't buy it.
Good luck, and please let us know your thoughts and findings. I was eyeballing the lunchblox just the other day, but wasn't sure if they'd work for us or not.

To everyone else.
How incredibly rude some of you are. This is a community where people ask questions of other people to guage their experiences. Yes, B. can go measure for himself. But just because something "measured" doesn't mean it actually works. B. was just asking if anyone has used these together... and if they have whether it worked or not.
Have you never bought something because the measurements suggested it would fit, only to find that the opening was too small or you couldn't pull the top up over the contents. "Fitting" and "working" are two different things.
I'm appalled that you would treat a community member with a legitimate question in such a way... whether that community member is a mom or a dad.

If you are ordering on line, have you bothered to look at the measurements and see if one (the Tall Rubbermaid) is smaller the LL Bean box you want to put it in?

That's what I would do.

Added...just for s's and g's, I checked out the measurements and by golly!! it would fit!! It was that simple!

Mean, mean, mean people. I have been wondering the same thing but wasn't sure since the measurements available are external measurements, not internal ones.

B. - if you find out, please add this to what happened - I could use the info - already have the LL Bean lunchbox and am looking for containers.

I'm sorry I teased about dads asking for help finding ketchup in the fridge. I have no problem with dads using this site. In fact, i think it's great, and frankly, I think the name should be changed to parentpedia to encourage more dads.

My idea is to knix the rubbermaid idea because you have to hand wash it from what I read and several reviewers said they had a problem with the lids warping even after handwashing. Also said kids had hard time opening lids. My suggestion is buy the Sistema Klip Its in several different sizes. They have lasted my family for years, don't leak, and my 5 yr old has no trouble using them. Don't buy the lunch cube, though. It does leak between compartments and kids find it too awkward to use. Oh, and you can put them in the dishwasher no problems!

Hope that helps.

Ok sorry I'm not actually answering your question but making another suggestion. I've read these work with LL BEAN. Look at the actual manufacture site.

I wish I could use these but they don't fit in the PB kids lunch boxes
