Back to School Made Easy: The Best Kids’ Lunch Boxes for Aussie Families
As the carefree days of summer wind down, Aussie kids are gearing up to head back to school. For parents, this time of year often means juggling school shopping, organising gear, and calming those back-to-school jitters. From pencil cases to lunchboxes, ensuring your child has everything they need can feel overwhelming.
One of the most important things to get right? Keeping your child nourished and energised throughout the school day. Nutritious meals and snacks help kids stay focused, active, and ready to learn. That’s why choosing the right kids’ lunch box is essential.
Why Choose a Thermal Lunch Box for Your Child?
At Citron, we know the value of a lunch box that keeps food fresh and delicious until it’s time to eat. Our Lunch Box is designed specifically for Aussie kids — it’s lightweight, durable, and offers four bento-style compartments for a variety of healthy meals. Unlike many bulky lunch boxes on the market, ours won’t weigh your child down.
What sets the Grand Lunch Box apart? It includes two food jar slots that keep food warm or chilled for hours — perfect for everything from hearty soups to fresh fruit. Plus, it's:
- BPA-free, phthalate-free, and lead-free, so it’s safe for your kids
- Leak-proof to avoid messes in school bags
- Easy to clean with removable silicone liners
- Easy to open, even for small hands
- Available in 7 fun themes and colours, with FREE personalisation

Complete Your Child’s Lunch Setup
The Grand Lunch Box isn’t just about compartments — it also comes with handy extras like a vacuum insulated food jar and a sauce container. The insulated jar keeps food warm for up to 6 hours or cold for up to 7 hours, perfect for Australian school days. The sauce container lets you pack dips or toppings separately, preventing soggy meals.
To make lunchtime even better, you can add:
- A stylish and eco-friendly water bottle
- A reusable cutlery set, reducing plastic waste
- Slim, non-toxic ice packs to keep food cool in warmer months
Pair all these with a durable Citron backpack or lunch bag and your child will be set for school in style and comfort.
