When the latches break on a Bentgo Kids Lunch Box, this is a sign that the lid is frequently being closed without the latches being clasped shut properly. If you push the lid closed and then secure the latches, they will not break. However, if you push the latches down before the lid is completely closed, then press down on the lid, you are going to eventually break the plastic holding the latches shut.
- The actual piece breaking is on the base of the lunch box.
- To prevent this, close the lid all the way (first) and then close the latches shut.
This small difference in the way you close and latch your lunch box shut will make a big difference. Your lunch box will last much longer, and this will prevent the latches from breaking!
