Features
- Dual Purpose
This product is both a stuffed animal for kids to enjoy and a lunchbox that serves a useful purpose. Inside the stuffie is actually a hollowed-out pouch where kids can put their lunch. The product will keep the food fresh and at the right temperature until lunchtime.
- Paws Turn Into Handle
When you put the stuffed animal`s paws together, they snap closed and make a handle for the kids to use to carry their lunches. These handles are incredibly soft and comfortable for children to hold.
- Four Different Characters
There are four different animal characters to choose from, and they each come in a different color. One is a dog called HungryPup, the second is a cat named SnackyCat, the third is a pig-like character called Yumicorn, and the last is a character that looks like a frog called Munchosaur. They come in blue, purple, pink, and green respectively.
- Food Stays Cool or Hot
The pouch inside is insulated to keep food at the correct temperature all day. If this is a hot lunch, then the food will stay hot. On the other hand, if it's a 'cool' lunch, like a sandwich, it will stay that way.
- Stuffed Animal
This product is attractive and it's very useful for kids to carry their lunches, but it's also a stuffed animal. A stuffie is a source of comfort for many children, so it may help them feel more comfortable at school and lower their anxiety.
Positive Points
- Useful for Kids
Children need some kind of lunch box or bag so they can carry their food to school. These bags are useful for that purpose, and the insulating feature which keeps the food fresh and temperate is also very useful.
- Attractive
These stuffed animal creatures really are quite cute, and the colors are also really nice. It seems like they would be appealing to small children.
- Therapeutic Tool
These creatures are plush and soft and nice to hold onto. Besides being a lunch box, they could be very comforting to children. It's a way to bring a favorite stuffie to school without really bringing one. They would likely help some children feel better and less stressed at school.
- Free Bonus
If you purchase this product right now, you will receive a LunchPets name tag for free. You can put these on a collar that goes around your pets' neck with your contact information on it, and that way if your pet gets lost hopefully someone will find them and contact you.
- Money-Back Guarantee
This product comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're dissatisfied with this product you can return it for a refund if it's still within 30 days of the purchase date.
- Machine-Washable
It doesn't matter if these toys get dirty because all you have to do is throw them in the washing machine and they'll come out as clean as new.
- Very Roomy
Lunch Pets actually have a lot of space available inside, so kids can carry other items like notebooks in them. They can also pack a lot of food inside.
- Snap-Shut Handle
The paws of the creature snap shut, turning them into a useful handle so that kids can carry their lunches. Kids can also use the snaps to attach the Lunch Pet to their bags, or to anything else they like.
- Good Quality Material
This item is made of high-quality plush material and should stay in good condition. They`re made to take a lot of kids` play, be thrown into the wash and come out good as new.
Negative Points
- Appealing for Small Kids Only
It's likely that this product would only be suitable for small children, up to about age 6. At a certain point, it seems like kids wouldn't want to bring a stuffed animal to school - even if they have one at home. Kids the age of the children in the commercial would probably not be interested in this product.
- Gender Differences
There's a chance that this product would appeal more to girls than boys - or that girls would just be more willing to bring them to school. Even young boys may not want to bring a stuffed toy to school.
- Could be a Crutch
There`s a negative side to bringing stuffed animals to school. If a child is very shy and has trouble making friends, there`s a chance they could play with the Lunch Pet and avoid playing with other kids.
- Short Handle
Granted, these items can be attached to a bag, but if a child does want to hold it, there aren't a lot of options. The handle is very short. Kids can't put it on their shoulder or even on their arm - they have to carry it in their hands.
- Too Big
It's good that this product is roomy, but it's a little big for its purpose. It means children have to carry and keep track of two bags, making it more likely that something will get lost. The product is too big to be included inside a knapsack as a packed lunch could do.
How it's Different from Competitors
There seem to be very few products that use this concept exactly. Some lunch boxes have pictures of stuffed animals on them, and there are lunchboxes made to look like different characters, but the basis of the item is still the box. The fact that this is quite a unique item in the market is a positive point. This certainly gives the company an advantage in the marketplace.
Save Money
Stuffed animals are usually very expensive. Lunch boxes aren`t very pricey, but here you have the two items in one. That certainly saves you money. This item is not priced very high for a stuffed animal, and it has the dual function. It`s a good value for the money.
The insulation in the lunch box keeps the food fresh, making it less likely to go bad by lunchtime. If that happens, your child will have to buy lunch instead. That could end up costing you a lot of extra money in the end.
