Wean Meister products retail between $9.95 and $29.95 AUD inc. GST. Freezer Pods are a set of one tray (tray and lid). AdoraBowls, Mini AdoraBowls, EasyRinse Bibs and Sippy Skillz are a two pack. For the range please see our online store here.
The wonderful benefit of silicone is that it is suitable for use in the freezer, microwave, dishwasher and oven (up to 240°C).
EasyRinse Bibs can be wiped over with a cloth when out and about, washed in soapy water with the dishes or even placed in the dishwasher.
Wean Meister is designed in Australia and manufactured responsibly in China.
All products in the Wean Meister range are made from high grade, premium grade LFGB compliant flexible silicone. They won’t snap when retrieving frozen food, like plastic can. The handle of the Spatula is made from bamboo.
Silicone is BPA free and naturally bacteria resistant due to its non-porous nature. Wean Meister is very environmentally friendly, by reducing your need for individual baby food packages and jars. The use of the EasyRinse Bibs saves the washing of 3 bibs a day, 21 bibs a week. This is a large reduction in washing machine water and electricity.
Not only are the pod trays and bowls reusable for baby food, they also have a number of uses for when you baby is no longer requiring purees. Why not freeze left over stock or sauce? As the trays are oven safe (up to 240°C) they make a fantastic mini muffin tray.
For line drawings showing the dimensions of each product please see the item in our online store.

Freezer Pods are perfect for preparing and freezing fresh homemade baby food. Newly weaning babies generally require one to two pods per meal. We suggest freezing a variety of fruit and vegetables pods and then mix and matching different tastes to create variety. The three-pack set is perfect for colour coding your freezer – peach for fruit, baby blue for vegetable and mint for meat and grains. You always have a selection of tastes to mix and match.
AdoraBowls are perfect for popping our frozen portions and defrosting or heating in either the microwave or oven. As your baby grows you may wish to freeze larger portions of meal directly in the bowl utilising the silicone suction lid to freeze. Remove from the freezer and put straight in the oven (up to 240°C) to reheat. Mini AdoraBowls are ideal for baby food or toddler snacks.
Having a set of handy EasyRinse Bibs will not only keep your baby clean but save you time and money! Simply rinse the bib off after each use and dry with your dishes. It’s ready again for next time and no pile of laundry to be done every couple of days.
Designed to be easy to hold with 2 easy to grab handles, the Sippy Skillz training cup is ideal for babies and toddlers learning to hold and use their drink by themselves.
Scoopsy Plates have an over hanging edge for easy ‘scooping’ and are designed with a 3 section divider suitable from 6 months to 6 years.

SoYoung’s signature material is it’s beautiful linen. Linen is a wonderful natural and renewable source and is an extremely resilient and durable fibre, which makes it a perfect match for the demands placed upon the products by children. The exterior of SoYoung’s linen bags is uncoated leaving a textured raw finish.
Charlie Lifestyle and Emerson Tote bags are a canvas exterior with vegan leather straps.
Andi 3-in-1 Stroller Organiser bags are constructed of natural fabrics such as waxed cotton canvas and linen/cotton blends. This material has been selected for its natural properties and relaxed look and feel.
Wrap’d is easy to use for all ages. It is especially useful for children who may struggle to hold together and eat a wrap with fillings without spilling the contents. To open, pull the top tabs down to the first fold line and start eating. When you need to reveal more of your tasty treat, peel down the sides a little further. Hands stay clean!
SoYoung’s non-toxic and eco friendly line of kids backpacks, lunch bags and cooler bags are PVC, lead, phthalate and BPA free.
Linen is derived from the flax plant, which requires substantially fewer pesticides, as well as 20 times less water and energy to harvest and produce than alternate crops such as cotton.
SoYoung is designed in Canada and manufactured responsibly in China.
Wrap’d is BPA free and made from high-grade silicone, ensuring it is bacteria resistant.
SoYoung linen range is now completely machine washable (gentle cycle) and will dry when hung overnight. All insulated lunch boxes and cooler bags come with a removable, easy clean insert that is heat sealed to prevent seepage, and fully immersible for hand washing.
Charlie Lifestyle and Emerson Tote bags are constructed of quality cotton canvas. This material has been selected for its relaxed, natural look and feel, however this material does fade faster than nylon or polyester fabrics, and may be prone to attracting lint if exposed to high pile fabrics such as terry cotton or wool. If you do find that your bag is collecting lint we suggest rubbing a dryer sheet or using an anti-static spray on the exterior of the bag and then brushing with a lint roller or a dry cellulose sponge.
Andi 3 in 1 bags are constructed of natural fabrics such as waxed cotton canvas and linen/cotton blends. This material has been selected for its natural properties and relaxed look and feel. Spot clean only with a damp cloth or brush. Do not machine wash.
These products range in price from $12.00 to $199.00 AUD inc. GST. For the range please see our online store here.
Wrap’d is designed in Australia and manufactured responsibly in China.
Drink in the Box and Snack in the Box are appropriate for all ages 3+. They are also a great addition to seniors’ mealtimes if dexterity is a problem in later life.
| Drink in the Box Small (240ml) | 15 x 4 x 7cm | Weighs 113g | |
| Drink in the Box Large (350ml) | 19 x 4 x 7cm | Weighs 136g | |
| Snack in the Box | 13.5 x 6.6 x 5.6cm | Weighs 136g |
Warp’d is an easy way to keep your wrap fresh and tasty for your child’s lunchbox. Following these simple steps it can be used:
- First prepare your flatbread meal with your chosen ingredients. Fold the bottom of the flatbread up covering the bottom portion of the filling
- Then roll it over from one side to the other. The top doesn’t need to be folded as the Wrap’d will seal over it
- Once your flatbread is rolled up, place it in your opened Wrap’d and pinch the side seals and top closed. Slide your fingers down each side seal to ensure they are all closed properly and you see no gaps
- Using the tabs on the top of the Wrap’d, peel each side down to the first notch in the side panels and hold the sides folded down. This should expose enough of your meal to start munching!
- Once you are ready to reveal more, simply peel each side down to the next notch. The bottom of the Wrap’d panels are permanently sealed to act like a cup, catching any ingredients that may have escaped
Drink in the Box and Snack in the Box are made with polypropylene, TritanTM (outer) and silicone (straw).
All materials are food-safe, BPA, BPS and phthalate free.
Wrap’d is dishwasher-safe and can easily be hand washed as desired.
Precidio Design, the designers of Drink in the Box and Snack in the Box are from Canada, with their manufacturing taking place responsibly in China.
The top of Drink in the Box is designed to fit tightly with the waterproof silicone seal. To open, just grab onto the lid (while closed, not in the open position) and gently wiggle back and forth, while pulling up. The top will come off.
This is the same for Snack in the Box.
Wrap’d is designed to enclose your wrap and fillings. It will seal the contents and keep it fresh and free from contaminants however it is not leak-proof for liquids. We recommend placing dressings or wet fillings such as tomato into the centre of the wrap to avoid the outside becoming soggy.
Wrap’d is also perfect for preparing wraps the night before and storing in the fridge.
The bottom section of the Drink in the Box has a cut-out on one of the top edges, to let the button fit down inside. Make sure the top lid is turned to let the button back down this slot. As Drink in the Box’s top is quite tightly sealed, be sure to push the top back down only when the lid is in the open position. Fill to the fill line marked on the lower section, and push down slowly. This will let air out of the air hole, and stop the straw from squirting to release the air pressure for pushing the lid down
Both Drink in the Box and Snack in the Box are dishwasher safe (top rack only up to 65°C). We highly recommend hand washing or if using a dishwasher, removing it before the heat dry cycle.
Drink in the Box and Snack in the Box are not to be cleaned in glass baby bottle steam cleaner units, as they are exceptionally hot, and will distort the shape of the product, possibly warping it.
Drink in the Box and Snack in the Box are designed with rounded edges and smooth surfaces to make hand washing easy.
Wrap’d retail at $19.95 AUD inc. GST. For the range please see our online store here.
It is not recommended to put your Drink in the Box or Snack in the Box in the freezer. Liquids expand in the freezer and can damage or distort the container’s shape causing it to leak as it defrosts. Also, if the contents are frozen, the straw will not fit!
See the optional accessories in our online store here for Ice on the Box; a reusable ice gel pack, which will keep your Drink in the Box cold too.
You may purchase a Replacement Parts Kit for Drink in the Box in our online store here. This will give you 3 new straws, a new spout and a new seal, all to keep your Drink in the Box in working order.
The retail price for these products is:
| Drink in the Box Small (240ml) | $16.00 AUD inc. GST | |
| Drink in the Box Large (350ml) | $18.00 AUD inc. GST | |

Yumbox is dishwasher safe up to 65°C (top rack only). We highly recommend hand washing the outer shell or if using a dishwasher, removing it before the heat dry cycle. Most dishwashers temperatures are a guide only and actual temperatures can fluctuate by up to 20°C. Yumbox is designed with rounded edges and smooth surfaces to make hand washing easy.
Air dry thoroughly after washing and store in an open position if not in use for long periods.
We advise that everyone use their own judgment when deciding to microwave any plastics.
Yumbox has a limited warranty on any manufacturer’s defects. We do not warranty damage caused by overheating in a dishwasher (you must use the top rack only), using children sterilisers, or misuse or abuse.
Yumbox co-founders hail from the USA and France with manufacturing taking place responsibly in China.
Mini Hippo Imports (also known as Yumbox Australia) is the Authorised Distributor of Yumbox in Australia and New Zealand.
Yes, this product will help reduce waste by assisting you to send a package free lunch. The reduction of this waste helps keep our planet beautiful.
All materials are food-safe, BPA and phthalate free and are CPSIA and FDA compliant.
Replacement latches can be purchased here should you need to replace this Yumbox part.
Instructions on how to insert a new latch can be found here.
Below outlines the process to replace the latch:
- Before you begin, use the mini screwdriver provided to push the pin on the right slightly outward to make the process easier when you are ready to insert the latch
- If you have difficulty extracting the pin from the plastic around it, drop it into a mug with boiling water for a minute or so. This will help expand the plastic and enable the pin to move more freely
- Insert the extended pin on the left first, align the second pin and push it into place with the mini screwdriver provided
Yumbox is made with ABS polymer (exterior box), TritanTM (tray) and silicone (seal).
No.
Yumbox is not made with thermal materials. If adding food like yoghurt, which should be kept cold, we recommend packing Yumbox in an insulated bag with an ice pack to keep contents cool. These are available in our store here.
Yes.
Yumbox acts as an excellent storage container. The seal keeps foods fresh for days in the fridge.
If placing warm foods inside to cool in the fridge the Yumbox will seal very tightly due to the condensation. To break the seal and ensure the Yumbox tray is not adhered to the lid, open the Yumbox very slightly and grip the tray, firmly pulling down so it settles in the bottom section.
Yumbox is designed to hold wet foods but not liquids, such as water. To ensure that food stays in place and does not leak to other compartments, be sure to follow 4 easy steps as outlined below:
- Do not overfill compartments
- Remove any excess liquid from canned fruit, applesauce and yoghurts
- Keep contents cool by adding an ice pack to your lunch tote
- When closing Yumbox, press down on the lid with the palm of your hand and snap latch to closed position to create the best seal
Do not pack yoghurt drinks, soups or runny/watery dressings. Do pack foods with the consistency of ranch dressing, ketchup, chunky salsas, hummus, yoghurt and veggie dips. These are all great options. Some oily vinaigrettes may leak out of the dip well. One trick that can help keep vinaigrettes in place is to dress the salad and top it with a few croutons. The croutons will absorb excess oil/liquid and keep the vinaigrette from seeping into a neighbouring compartment. If you are not sure if your food choice is too liquidy to pack, we suggest that you conduct a quick test before sending your child to school with that food. Simply add the test food to a compartment, close Yumbox properly and give it a good shake (or leave it on its side for 10 minutes). Set Yumbox back to normal position and open to see the results.
Yes. Yumbox is a leak-proof container.
Yumbox’s silicone lid engages with the tray to create a tight seal keeping food contents in place, including thicker wet foods like yogurt and applesauce (not water). Foods will not leak between compartments or outside of the box.
Please also refer to the question in this FAQ titled How do I pack wet foods?
Yumbox Tapas does come with an interchangeable tray seal. This means if you purchase a 4 compartment tray, you may wish to also purchase the optional 5 compartment tray and vice versa.
You may use all Yumbox Original 6-compartments trays with the outer box that has a matching 6-compartment seal.
You may use all Yumbox Panino 4-compartment trays with the outer box that has a matching 4-compartment seal.
While 6-compartment trays may fit in 4-compartment outer boxes, and vise versa, they will not create a seal and do not have a perfect fit to prevent leaking or spills.
Yumbox MiniSnack trays can only be used in this style of bento box.
Yumbox now has four designs to make packing lunch for everyone easy!

Our chosen materials serve to catch the dribble and hold it within the bib and away from your child’s chest so that they stay dry. After a period of use on a heavy dribbler the front of the bib may feel wet to touch however the backing material will keep this moisture away from baby’s chest and help prevent nasty dribble rash. Please review our feedback from many happy customers who tell us frequently that this feature is what keeps them coming back again and again.

Firefly reflectors are designed with love in Sweden and produced with the highest security standards by their small factory in China.
Firefly’s are made of 3MTM ScotchliteTM reflective material. The soft reflectors and ball-chains are lead free and conform to the US CPSIA. They also meet the European safety standard for personal reflectors, CE EN13356.
Firefly reflectors attach with a small ball-chain that links through any loop or zip pull.
A reflector is an essential safety item for anyone who is spending time outside at dusk or night. A reflector will reflect the light from an oncoming vehicle and make you visible from up to 125 metres away, compared to only 30 metres away without a reflector. That distance could be the difference between life and death.
They are also a colourful and cute way for kids to identify their personal property without even realising the added safety benefit.
Firefly safety reflectors are appropriate for ages 3+.
