5 Things That Make OiYO by Montigo an Everyday Essential

From lunch boxes and snack bags to tumblers and backpacks, OiYO by Montigo has everything to make family routines more fun and organised.

Parents, you know the drill. You pack a Pinterest-worthy lunch at 8 a.m. By noon, it turns into a soggy mystery. The water bottle? It probably rolled under a seat and leaked somewhere in the car. That’s exactly where OiYO by Montigo comes to the rescue. This family-friendly brand brings order to daily chaos. It delivers pastel-toned gear that’s built for little hands and busy days. The products combine function with charm in one neat bundle. Most importantly, they can handle mess, drops, and hectic mornings. Let’s explore five things you should know about OiYO. These tips matter, especially if your kids run the house and your bags.

THE BRAND IS LIKE A BUILT-IN PARENTING HACK THAT WORKS

OiYO is the little sibling of Montigo. It offers the same trusted quality but is designed with kids and parents in mind. The brand is built around the idea that smart design can simplify daily routines. Instead of clunky containers or tricky lids, OiYO by Montigo products are easy to use, gentle in shape, and cheerful in colour. Even the names are toddler-friendly. A five-year-old who once needed help with everything can now proudly say, “I packed my Joy Bottle and my Lunch Buddy,” and mean it.

What makes this brand even more helpful is how the entire range is thoughtfully grouped into three categories: Munch, Carry, and Drink. Whether you are preparing a lunchbox, packing snacks for a road trip, or heading to school, there is something in the lineup to support your day. It’s perfect for families on the go who want functional and fuss-free essentials that keep up with real life. With OiYO, independence starts small but shows up in big ways. That might look like fewer meltdowns, smoother mornings, and more proud “I did it myself” moments.

EVERY COLLECTION IS PRACTICAL, COLOURFUL AND BUILT TO LAST

Let’s take a look at what OiYO by Montigo offers. Their latest lineup features three practical collections. Each one fits seamlessly into real family routines, from weekday meal prep to weekend outings.

To start, the Mini Mealtime Collection makes snack breaks and small meals easier. The Lunch Buddy uses adjustable dividers to separate food and locks shut with a firm click. It handles both the microwave and dishwasher with no fuss. Kids will love the cheerful colours like Lemon Lime, Sweet Berry, and Lychee Mint. The Joy Bottle (400ml) pairs well with it. This double-wall bottle keeps drinks hot or cold for up to four hours. It comes with a soft spout, a push-button lid, and a handle shaped for small hands.

For young kids on the go, the Little Explorer Collection encourages independence. Specifically designed for children aged three to six, it includes the Backpack (6.4L) and Snack Bag (5.5L) in Pastel Blue or Pastel Pink. The backpack feels light yet sturdy, with padded straps, double zips, and just enough room for snacks, books, or a cuddly toy. Meanwhile, the snack bag features two compartments to keep dry and wet food separate. It also comes with an insulated lining to maintain freshness and a zipper that’s easy for little hands to open and close.

The Mealtime Collection suits older kids and parents who want a stylish and functional setup. The Glass Lunch Box (640ml) and Glass Rice Bowl (620ml) work well for leftovers or meal preps. Both items are made from durable borosilicate glass and are safe for microwaves and dishwashers. The Cutlery Set (101g) adds a polished touch with stainless steel utensils tucked into a soft silicone case. Not only that, the Solo Tumbler (590ml) keeps drinks hot for 10 hours or cold for six hours and comes with a dual-function lid. You’ll find it in calm Powder shades like Sage and Plum, just to name a few. To complete the set, the Large Lunch Bag (190g) stores everything in one neat carryall. It stays water-resistant, wipes clean in seconds, and carries meals for school, work, or family day trips with ease.

IT IS MADE WITH SAFETY IN MIND SO YOU CAN BREATHE EASY

Now, let’s talk about peace of mind. When you’ve got toddlers who chew on everything and toss the rest across the room, safety becomes non-negotiable. That’s why OiYO uses BPA-free and FDA-approved materials in all its products to ensure they’re safe for daily use. But it doesn’t stop there. The team uses PP, a type of food-safe and completely BPA-free polypropylene plastic, for the lids. For the cutlery and insulated interiors, they use A2-grade stainless steel, also known as food-grade 304 stainless steel. This material is durable, resists rust, and holds up well through drops, dings, and dishwashers.

Even better, OiYO doesn’t cut corners when it comes to research. Each product goes through careful development to ensure it is sustainable and long-lasting. You can feel confident sending your child to school or daycare with products that are not only adorable but also eco-friendly and reliable. It’s one less thing to stress about when you’re juggling breakfast, school shoes and a juice box at 7:45 in the morning.

YOU CAN SHOP, PLAY AND CUSTOMISE ALL IN ONE FUN TRIP

Here’s something both kids and parents can get excited about. OiYO has just opened its latest store at 1 Utama, and it’s more than just shelves of cute bottles and bags. This vibrant new location features the OiYO Studio: Play & Create, a fun corner where kids can get creative and parents can take a breather. You’ll also find the same experience at OiYO’s outlets in Mid Valley and Suria KLCC, so no matter where you are in the city, fun is just around the corner.

Inside, you’ll find two creative stations. At OiYO Studio Prints, children are able to choose from adorable design prints like their limited edition Fruity Buddies and fun text to personalise their mealtime essentials. Then, at the new OiYO Studio Accessories station, they can go wild with stickers to decorate their gear just the way they like it. Watching a child light up while adding their favourite touches feels a bit like seeing their personality shine through. And let’s be honest, you might hear, “Can we come again?” before you’ve even left the store.

There is also an exclusive Lunch Box Collection available only in OiYO retail stores with limited quantities. When you go for full customisation, you’ll save RM10. That makes the trip feel more like a mini celebration than just another errand. Customised products aren’t just fun, they make your child feel like they were part of the process, which means they’ll want to use them.

The Play & Create area gives you a chance to test things out before making a decision. You can check if your child finds the Joy Bottle easy to open or if the backpack fits snugly across their shoulders. These little things matter, especially when you’re shopping for growing kids with big opinions. At OiYO Studio, the process feels less like shopping and more like a memory in the making.

Finally, OiYO is now easier to shop in person with retail stores and pop-up counters across Malaysia.
