not if you want to rip your finger nails off every time you open it, fox do one with a drop in inner section as do trakker

I've got the ridgemonkey one. I don't think it's to bad, but then again it is only a bucket.
I've got a Dynamite Baits bucket with tray...cost a tenner and fitted with the Cygnet leg adaptors mentioned in another thread. The lid is easy to fit and remove, the handle is adequate for a bucket...the makers logo is superfluous !
Fox do them, I have a couple of them, good quality as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've had a play and to be honest none floated my boat.
I planned on the lad using it for his floats, disgorger etc. in the tray and bait underneath. None are ideal for a youngster
A Shakespeare or Daiwa seat box is probably the way to go but I'll end up carrying the bloody thing.

If you go for the seat box. The octoplus adjustable legs are very good if you are fishing on uneven banks or are taller than average.

He's about 3' 10”
The seat box is a rite of passage but I think you should be able to carry it.

Those seat boxes last for ever. He won't get shorter LOL. You may even use it yourself. I was a match fisherman for years before I started carping seriously. Tackle box on an uneven or stony bank is just bloody annoying.

I seen these green seat boxes on Amazon for example,made by Roddarch,approx £20..
Some come with a harness like a rucksack or have external webbing to fit 'stuff on the outside..
Several versions,all look similar..with built-in ,trays and little storage boxes in the lids..
Ideal for a young chap..or someone going light

trakker one is decent. i use mine just as a tidy tray. keep it in my carryall. Put all the stuff i need to hand in it, much easier than digging bits all out everytime. Leads, pop ups, bait needle, headtorch etc

They're all handy for that for an adult.
I've seen the seat box you mentioned wandle, certainly easier on the pocket than the Shakespeare box I had as a kid with all the trays and cushion. Over £100 now!!
I think I'll probably get him a little rucksack or cool bag tbh. We'll be on the move a bit
