The Peugeot 5008 was everything a family could need, we didn’t have a chance to use the 7 seats but did put them up to see how roomy the car was and you could easily fit an adult in the 3rd row seats, when using the 5 seats with the back row down the boot has an amazing amount of space, we have a fairly bulky pram and managed to fit the pram, nappy bag, 2 scooters and some toys with room to spare!

Drivers seat massage… yes please! How did I not discover this earlier, the massage function made the car feel like pure luxury! Although we didn’t get to drive long distance I can imagine taking this car on a family trip and having an amazing back massage arrive relaxed 🙂 I admit I drove the long way around to enjoy the function a bit longer!

The elusive 3 across for car seats, we have a much larger SUV that didn’t fit the same 3 car seats as easy and roomy, we have 2 in boosters and a rear facing, the seats were so easy to install and felt so secure, the back seats are moulded so the seats secure well and have little movement. Both my older 2 children were able to easily get their hands between the seats to secure their seat belts and getting our youngest into the middle was so easy, the argument of who is going to sit next to their baby sister didn’t happen for a few days while driving, worth more than anything 🙂

I have spent some time driving and testing the Peugeot 2008 SUV. As a young family we spend quite a bit of time on the freeway and although it’s a small car, the 2008 feels very safe and solid on the road. I feel comfortable driving my kids from the city to my mum’s house in the country on the weekends.

My Peugeot 5008 SUV 7 seater that I had the joy of reviewing was surprising roomy. Lots of boot space to fit my double pram plus my sons bike and scooter!!! I drive into the city x3 days a week for work and I have a very tight car park and it was a dream to park with all the sensors and birds eye view of reverse parking.
It’s an absolute triumph of a car.

The boot space could be a little more deeper so it can fit more things in. My boys have outgrown a pram but I can imagine once you put a pram inside, you might struggle to put other things in. I was able to fit all my weekly shop in with no issues. However we tried to fit in a junior bike and scooter and I had to jam it in, so the door will close. One feature I do like is the automatic opening and closing of the boot which is handy when you have 2 handfuls of shopping plus little kids to hold on to.

Love the birds eye view camera when parking. Helps see from all angles how close you are to other cars and/or poles.
Really takes the stress out of tight spots!

Picked up the new ride for the next few days and was surprised and how stylish the SUV was. Looked bigger than. I expected. Feels so smooth and easy to drive. Comfy leather seats and spacious seating.
We are excited to get the baby seats in the back and see how much room we ate left with

When I was using a 7 seater to maximum capacity the school bags filled the boot, shoes were strewn on the floor as kids quickly changed out of school uniform into clothes for whatever afternoon activity we were heading to, and my handbag usually ended up underneath it all (including the snacks eaten on route). But now that I’m after a car that is a little more about me, I’m more interested in driver comfort and mid size, than a third row and multiple drink holders.. So how excited was I to discover that the driver’s side storage bins are the perfect size for my handbag – convenient, clean and feeling just a little bit fancy amongst the wood grain and nappa leather.

The design of the Peugeot I-cockpit was so functional and easy to use, they have thought of everything with the style! I loved the small leather steering wheel which gave plenty of room to see the dash board, having the next steps of the navigator shown on the dash not just the screen made it really easy to navigate when I didn’t know the area. Everything felt streamlined and easy to navigate through, the charging pad for mobiles was so great I always forget to charge mine so being able to just pop it into the area and have it charge while driving and also out of view so your not tempted to look at anything was a fav of mine

Peugeot have really thought about safety in the 5008, I felt totally comfortable from the first time I was driving, the lane assist made me feel totally at ease driving through busy streets I wasn’t familiar with not knowing the size of the car, reversing with the 2 views made parking in a busy shopping centre a dream and think it was the straightest ive ever parked a car!

Today is the final day of driving this sexy black SUV around town – we decided to take it on our usual weekly grocery shop. As expected, the groceries were easy to load and unload, can just slide out of the boot if he bags were too heavy. However, I did notice that the size was not bigger than my hatch – it’s about the same. Would be good if the boot was a bit bigger. Imagine if I had my double pram in here! It definitely would be a struggle to fit everything – and our shop was not that huge either (that include toilet paper, rice, drinks, and back in the days, nappies!).

Lets start with the control buttons – It looks so wacky and out there, very different, Personally, I do not know if I like this. It’s functional and easy to use but it reminds me of a typewriter and looks a bit dated. At first glance I wasn’t sure if the buttons behind didn’t anything but realised they were touch buttons – they didn’t seem very responsive. Could they light up or click? They were all nicely laid out and layout if very systematic and works together with the dash screen well. I also would have preferred the phone button to be one of the clicking ones at the front – easy to quick flick without really looking if required.
Steering wheel is not round, which is bit different and has nice leather all around it. Looks like a sports car! And you can control a few functions from the wheel, like volume.
Seats can also be adjusted. electronically..and…wait for it…warmed!!! To three different level – warm, warmer, and warmest! Great for those Winter months but the leather is probably not so good during Summer when it gets so hot it could cook your thighs!
The gear stick – it’s different. You need to press side button to lift or push down and there is a red LED light to indicate what driving mode your are in. Most unusual gear stick I have seen. And the hand brake – it is a button! Very modern and very unusual – I have never seen this in any car. I think it does take getting used to but its just a unique feature that makes this SUV stand out.
USB ports – theres two in the back seats so the kids can charge their devices! We currently only have one – so we are always fighting over who gets to charge their phones. Now three people can charge at the same time. There is also another port on the passenger side. I initially thought this was another USB charging station but I believe it is a USB-C port..not a port I would be using much of.
Finally, I also like the glasses compartment..it’s bigger than most I have seen and can fit more than one pair of glasses. There’s also room underneath to store and hold other bits and pieces.

What I love about the boot in the Peugeot 2008 SUV is that it has that extra adjustable boot floor to separate boot space – you can hide things underneath, like shopping bags or valuable items, or just stuff you need to store permanently in the car without taking up precious space. And, also great for nappy changing – you don’t know how hard it is when you have emergency nappy changes in the car and the boot dips down like regular hatch. It is also great for loading and unloading things like groceries into the boot – no more having to dip down or lift things out of and over the side of the boot. You can just slide things in and out! Grocery shopping would be bit easier!
However, I do think the boot space could be bit bigger. We used to have a double pram, which we reduced to a single stroller but either way, once that’s in the car, it leaves little room from groceries etc. trust me…I have had that issue for years in my hatch. The shopping ends up on the floor of the back seats and the SUV does not seem to have much more space in the backseat either. I feel internally this car is not bigger than a regular hatch…and neither does the boot.
We recently went to purchase my son a bike (small bike for 5 year old) and I expected it to fit in without having to put the seats down. And thank goodness we didn’t bring our kids with us – we had to push down both seats and I still had to adjust the rear parcel shelf. It just wasn’t wide enough for the bike.

One thing I loved about the Peugeot SUV 2008 model is the super zipped up, modern and fancy dash with the mega big screen and the speedometer screen behind the steering wheel.
I love that the screen operates on touch, is full colour and is so big! Bigger than any other screens I have seen. It can show so many features and options on the one screen! So easy to see, even from the corner of your eye.
The dash screen has so many features, I spent so much time in the car just playing around and trying to work out what does what – I still couldn’t figure out how to change the time though. You would expect it to be under the Time/Date option but I couldn’t change it – not a negative, just my inability to work it out and find out online! I love that it has all the standard stuff like blutooth, siri, Wifi etc but also Whatsapp, Google nav system and Spotify – there are so many apps on this and I believe its displaying whats on my phone. The good thing about whatsapp is that the car can speak out your messages for you and you can reply by speaking or by selecting of the pre-recorded msgs. Never seen that function before! That is just one of many. You can also create different profiles for different drivers, and can I also add, the blutooth function is seamless – once I have added my iPhone to it, it just connects automatically when I am in the car. And when someone calls, it’s so easy to just pick up the call while driving – I don’t have to try and re-connect it and then pick up the phone (like I do in my current car)…by this point, the caller has hung up!
It also has park assist functionality and there are sensors that will warn you with beeping sounds and images on the screen when you are parking or if you are too close to another object., and it even show you were the constructions is and how close you are to it. No excuses to hit another object or park badly anymore – perfect for me!
The speedomoter is also very big and looks kind of 3D – it just seems to pop out, looks like theres two layers. Funky! I really like how it has the speed limit of the local area above your current speed – it’s all synchronised. No more excuses for speeding fines! And I like the green flashing indicator arrows that life on either side of the speedometer screen.
Overall, I am so impressed by the dash, the speedometer screen and all the spicks and specks it has. IMPRESSED!

So today we went on a road trip to freezing Blue Mountains (thank gawd for the seat warmers =)) in our Peugeot 2008 SUV. I managed to squeeze into the backseats in between a booster seat and a car seat – it was tight. And after sitting there all day, it confirmed to me that I need a bigger car than this – even now with my small family if I am to be driving a fifth person around. It actually is not bigger internally than my hatchback, although from the outside it is bigger. I fit in okay but I am small build and not something I would do regularly as it’s not the most comfortable.
Driving wise, the road trip was smooth. I love that everything is so quiet in this car – even slamming the doors is pretty quiet! According to my husband who drove the whole way, it was a very smooth and easy drive. Much more fun than our current hatchback! He noted that the steering feels good. However, the visibility was not great – the view in his opinion was not open enough and could be more open.
The leather (warm) seats, the sky light for added light, and the great acoustics for our Spotify music made this a really nice drive. Music makes the drive feel faster. Kids had a blast, fighting over my phone to change the song which made it easy from the backseats because of the blutooth functionality! We had a blast zipping around the Blue Mountains in this sexy black car.
Overall, road trippin’ with a young family with just 4 people is do-able in this car but no more. 5th person, unless it’s a child would not be ideal. And once the kids get older we will definitely grow out of this car. Personally, if I was to buy an SUV today, I would get the next size up to make it worth my while.

For our young family ( 4 and 7 year old) this car is a good fit. The booster seat and car seat fits in the back but it does leave little room for a third passenger in the centre – it could fit another child or skinny adult but definitely not a third car seat.
It was very easy to install the car seats too- two hooks, each located behind the seat. I did it myself for the first time 🙂
Boot size is good for us now but if we had a pram – be it single or double, it would leave little space for shopping and other bits and bob. I do like that the boot has that top cover to make it flush – good for happy changing and easy to load and unload, and it’s good to hide and store things underneath.
Overall I think the internal size is only slightly bigger than our hatch- would prefer a bit bigger. If I was going to invest in a new car I would be forward thinking and get something bigger- not the biggest SUV but perhaps next size up from this one. When the kids get older they will need more room – size wise as they will be bigger and also to drive a third person comfortably, and to carry luggage, bikes etc. We plan to do lots of road trips and outdoorsy activities like sports, camping, skiing, road trips, beach etc and we definitely need bigger car for that. Even now. But at the moment our kids are young so our activities are much simpler.

One feature I love about the Peugeot 2008 SUV (probably not new but it is to me!) is the cars ability to lock and unlock itself based on proximity – the person with the key can walk away and the car will automatically lock and close the side mirrors, and vice versa when walking towards the car! How good is that. Great for when your hands are full with groceries or carrying children. No need to fumble around looking for your keys in the rain. Same goes for the keyless entry – which means u can keep your keys in your messy oversized nappy bag and still be able to get into your locked car and drive away in the rain without looking for the key!
Living in the inner west, especially where I am requires pushing in your side mirror if you are parked on the street to avoid getting swiped by careless drivers or mega trucks who think they can fit through and take a swipe without anyone noticing. So the automatically closing of side mirrors is perfect for that – and how many times have you gotten into your car and realised you forgot to flip out your window on the left side meaning you have to get out (in the rain) to flip it. Now you don’t have that problem =)
Thanks Peugeot, you have solved one of my many first world problems!

My first impression of the SUV 2008 was – it’s not that much bigger! It does have a large front, like a large SUV but the rest of the body is only slightly taller and longer than my hatchback – and width wise it feels almost the same. And this is mostly based on the backseat space – I was hoping it would be wider than our current car but it’s just as squishy with two car seats.
None the less, it’s an amazing car that’s fun to drive and very comfortable. It has lovely, quality interior trimmings – the yellow fluoro and white stitching throughout the car for added texture, the carbon fibre finishes and the green line thats lights up in the car.
I also love the sun roof, it’s so big! The kids loved staring out of it and it added some extra natural light to the car but it does get a bit too sunny and hot so we had to close it at times.
Seat warmers – yes, seat warmers! This may not be a new thing but coming from someone who has a old 2013 hatchback, this is a very cool feature. It comes in three modes too – warm, warmer and warmest! =) So far, we haven’t had to use this yet as the weather has been amazing and warm but we did have a play and you can definitely feel the heat under your butt.
The leather interiors and seats are also a fave of mine -with kids in tow, leather is more durable and easier to clean than cloth seats. And it feels so good to sit on. Makes the experience so much more lavish and comfortable. And the added stitching makes it look good and feels good too – it somehow feels a bit different (in a good way). Also, at least if there are marks and scratches, it’s less obvious if the seats have texture and lines on it than all smooth.
This car is great for zipping around through the narrow crowded streets of the inner west and inner city suburbs. Great for fitting in those tight spots too. And the parking sensors really help in these situations too.

I thoroughly enjoyed keeping this car for a few days, it was a luxurious and great time for my family!
Would I spend that kind of money on a car? I’d probably rather put it on a mortgage as it’s very expensive. Family cars are bound to get wear and tear and I’d be so worried about messing up the wonderful interior.
There are features I’m not too fussed about like the puddle lights, but that be someone’s favorite feature!

Our 10 month old son’s car seat was easily installed, however our pram took up so much of the boot space.
For a bubba, the inbuilt window shades were fabulous and the comfort of mood lighting was the best!
My husband car pooled for golf and 3 golf bags could fit in the boot (on a diagonal slant) as well as a golf trolley. That’s awesome!

We live with our 14 year old twin niece and nephew.
Our Peugeot 5008 went everywhere with us: basketball, piano lessons, tau’olunga (traditional Tongan dancing) practice, dropping our niece to her casual job, church & of course school drop off.
It’s such a smooth ride and the teens loved it! One thing I will say is that our nephew is 5 foot 11 and the ceiling (especially near the doors) was very low for him. My husband is 6 foot and he had the same issue. Leg space then meant that they weren’t the most comfortable passengers.
The teens’ favorite features? The sunroof, the waffle leather seat covering and just general feel!

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
