I came across Juice in the Box while researching reusable cups (I think we’ve established my reusable-container-obsession by now), and they agreed to send me one to review. Woo hoo! I love the idea for a few reasons:
Juice in the Box allows parents to tailor exactly what they want their child to drink for school lunches, etc., and it looks cool enough that kids will actually like drinking from it. The square shape also fits well inside lunch boxes. I also like that you can see what is inside Juice in the Box. A downside to throwaway juice cartons from the store is that you can’t see what your child is actually drinking. There could potentially be lots of yuckies! Finally, the reusable aspect is awesome, because it means less waste on landfills.
Sold by Precidio Design, Juice in the Box currently comes in four colors: pink, blue, red, orange, and green. With a spill-proof design, each Juice in the Box is 5.25″ high, 2.25″ wide, and 1.5″ deep. These boxes are made from nearly indestructible Tritan and are BPA and Phthalate free. Each container holds eight ounces of liquid, and they’re dishwasher safe. See HERE for an infographic with the products specifications.
Baby J loves his Juice in the Box and has used it to drink juice, milk, and water. I think he likes that it doesn’t look at all like any of his sippy cups. The uniqueness seems to interest him, because he’ll choose the Juice in the Box over one of his other cups. It’s been easy to clean in the dishwasher.
UPDATE- 11/14/13– A reader asked about how well it keeps from spilling, and I can’t believe I forgot to address that! When the lid is closed, it pinches the straw, so liquids can’t come out. Baby J has dropped the box several times, and no liquid has leaked out. However, if the lid isn’t closed and you drop the box, liquid will come out through the straw.
Juice in the Box comes apart into four pieces, which is nice to get it clean. The box currently retails for $11.99, and a replacement kit with straws, spout, and seal is sold for $5.99. Juice in the Box has worldwide shipping.

If you had a Juice in the Box, what would you use it for?

That is so cool. Would love that for my daughter.
That’s pretty dang nifty! I would use that as an adult. I love that you can take it apart AND that there are replacement parts available
Pretty cool? How’s the spillage aspect – would it work well in school lunches, provided Mommy got the seal situated correctly? 😉
If it’s closed and you drop it, it doesn’t leak. At least ours doesn’t. The lid stays on very tightly. The way the lid is designed, when you close it, it actually pinches the straw, keeping liquids from leaking out. Now if the lids not on and you drop it…then liquid is going to leak out of the straw. Thank you for asking! I should have included that in my post and will go back and do that now.
That is really cool. Juice boxes generate so much garbage.
I so need one of these! You have no clue how many times I give my little guy a drink in the car (Yes I did it more then once because I’m a genius hehe) anywho I give him a drink only to have him squeeze it and have juice all over my car and w/e groceries I just bought!!
This would be perfect! It looks impossible to squeeze 🙂 I need to talk to Santa this may be the perfect stocking stuffer for my 2 year old
Wow I love this! I can totally use this for my kids!
I love this! What a great way to put healthy drinks in containers our kids already love!
I have to get some of these! I don’t like to give my kids juice in their lunch. I prefer water or milk. But our reusable water bottles don’t fit in their lunch boxes. This is the perfect solution!
That looks really neat! I have been afraid of the juice boxes and pouches since hearing about worms being found in them. Gross. Love this!
I didn’t know about these. I just love how neat it is. Totally getting a few for stocking stuffers.
what a super product!
I like the color and the design. For sure kids will love it.
These are fun! I’d love some of these! I get really weary about some of the juice boxes so this is absolutely perfect!
I love that it’s dishwasher-safe! I might just have to buy a couple of these…
Great idea! I love that they are bpa free and eco conscious!
Such a unique design! My littlest would feel like one of the big kids with her own juice box! I love that it comes in a great variety of colors, and is dishwasher safe too!
This is really neat! I think these would be good in my daughters lunchbox
This looks really cool! I love that you can just pop it into the dishwasher!
I love that it is reusable and dishwasher safe
This is a great idea! We normally don’t drink anything besides water in the car because of the problem of dropping it! Thanks for the review.
I’m totally right with you there! Well, I drink coffee, but my toddler is only allowed water in the car. The last thing I need is spots of spoiled milk in the car seat, etc.
I saw another review where their child said the edge that pinches the straw was sharp and it bothered her when she drank from it. Have you had any issues with this?
Hi Shannon, sorry about the extremely late reply! I haven’t been able to access my blog admin page for a couple of months! My son has never acted like anything bothered him while drinking from it, but I will pay closer attention and see.
