Do the kids screw on? If I were to put unfrozen yogurt in them and put them in my child's lunch how secure would the lid be?

The lids just get pushed down about 3/4". I have put yogurt in them and even froze them. The lid would be fine as long as nothing is pressing down onto it.

I am very sorry that i cannot answer your question. I bought these molds as part of an October birthday present. I won't be using them myself, and have not used them. I do believe that these molds were specifically designed for frozen treats, as the name implies. I suggest that you email the vendor directly to get the best answer. Best of luck in your quest to find the answer.

The lids pop in I don't think your yogurt idea would work with these unless you were sure that they wouldn't get squeezed

No, they don't; they are simply inserted and would most likely spill in the lunch bag.

They don't screw on but they have ridges that keep them on pretty well. I originally got the idea to buy these from a Mom blogger and she puts them in her children's lunches all the time.

The yogurt should be all right. The lid is a pop-off kind, so no screw or unscrewing. To be sure I put it in a ziplock bag, but I use them for freezin smoothies that are going to be thawed by lunch time.

I guess it depend on what you put in them if they are leak proof. I just put water in mine, screwed them together and shook them and water leaked out. If you put snacks foods, like cheerios, crackers, etc. in them they don't leak. They do screw together easily.

They're not airtight. They're tight enough to stay on when not tossed around or shifted. But, they're definitely not like a Tupperware lid that seals shut.

Thin sauces will leak into the next compartment. Something thick, like hummus, won't. Get the lunchbot round sauce tins with lids to put inside a compartment for yogurts and thin sauces. Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay, I was away in vacation and the lunch boxes were at home:-)

In my experience, no. The ice pops I made became slushy as the children ate them in the sun. Perhaps a yogurt "ice pop" might stay frozen-ish if you wrapped in it an ice pack, but I would recommend testing it on your counter first.

I wouldn't put liquids inside. I haven't... i think you could if you have a sturdy lunch box and you know it won't fall over. The lid can come off easily though. I would not put anything liquid in it in my child's lunchbox, that's for sure!

Might be the lid on the yogurt. in another set, the lids come off the tuna cans...the kids like taking the lids off and putting them on, they pretend they're dumping the 'food' out.

Some of my lids fit so tightly that it is hard to get them off when filled with yogurt ---but considering what a mess it could make if one opened in a lunch bag, I would seal it in a ziptop sandwich bag just in case ;)

I would say yes. It looks like the lid is only held by one screw/pin so I'd keep it out of reach of a toddler.

I haven't tried, but the walls of the larger container are filled with a freezing agent, and do keep things cold for the 4 hours before my daughter eats lunch. I would probably go with a standard, stainless steel thermos container if you need to keep something cold for 6 hours.

They never have a great seal - that's why they're easy for kids to open. But I've been using the same set for the past 5 months and I haven't noticed that they're sealing any worse than when they were new. As a general rule, if I put something leaky in them, like a dressed salad or yogurt, I put a layer of press n seal between the container and the lid. That way, the foods don't mix and my 4 year-old can still open his lunch without help.

It should all snap together, they are a little tough sometimes, and the lid only fits one way.I chill mine before adding newly made ice cream.

I dont think so. The cone shape of the dish would not lend itself to pre-fab lids, and they don't come with custom lids. Still they are sturdy and fun, kids love them, (i gave them to 10-year olds) and could be reasonably sealed with foil or plastic. I woouldn't wrap them for a lunchbox, though, if you cared about spillage.

I've never tried to be honest. They hold just enough ice cream for my 2 and 4 yo so lids haven't been needed :)

The lids are snap-on. They fit pretty tightly but I'm not sure they would stop your toddler from biting them off.

I would not put water inside, but they do have a tight seal for dry snacks. A little difficult for kids hands to open.

Putting them on is easy. Place them on top of the bowl and push down with your palm or fist and they'll slide right on. Taking the lids off, with arthritis, is doable, but I wouldn't say easy nor would I belittle you by saying a child could open them. You may struggle a bit to get them off. That being said, I cannot think of another type of bowl that would be easier and still seal. The lids may be easier to work with if you keep them out of the dishwasher and definitely if you keep them out of the microwave. The extreme temps in both make the lids stiff and brittle, especially the microwave.
