I love the Bentgo Kids Chill Lunch Box - it seems to be locked-tight so food does not move from one section to the other while closed. The chill pack works great to keep everything cool until lunch. I appreciate that the compartmentalized tray can be put in the dishwasher, but PLEASE, please make the outer shell dishwasher safe, as well! The inside top of the outer shell is hand-wash only and it gets very messy from all of the foods touching the top/lid. It is very hard/awkward to wash with the hinge and clasp there.

This backpack is way too small for a kindergartener or first grader—I couldn’t even fit a standard binder inside. The design idea is good, but it’s just not practical. What’s really frustrating is that returns aren’t free and are such a hassle, so I’m stuck keeping it even though it doesn’t work for us.

I think the backpack itself is really good quality. Paired with a bentgo lunchbox where the whole lunch is contained in the box it’s great. The challenge is if there’s anything for lunch that’s not contained in a single lunchbox… since then kids have to take a lot to the lunch room.

Bentgo really thought of everything when it comes to the design of this backpack. There’s a thought about every component from the space for the water bottle and the bungee to keep it in place to the space below for an ice pack. I couldn’t recommend this backpack more. The lunch box keeps everything cool/warm and the compartments keep foods separate perfectly. The quality is through the roof. Money well spent. We got the sports themed combo and the colors are vibrant and I can tell this will wash beautifully.

Love the Bentgo lunch boxes and the idea of a built-in ice pack sounded great, but not the most functional to send our toddler to preschool because of its weight. With the ice pack in it, it’s pretty bulky and a bit heavy. Probably perfect for an older child!

This backpack is adorable and highly functional. My preschooler loves it and it’s the perfect size for his school supplies, including folders. I appreciate the separate organizer pocket for sending small things like his inhaler. Looking forward to this lasting the whole school year or more.

Great concept, slow delivery. Built-in ice pack is genius. Great colors and sturdy feel. Seal/bumper also seem durable. It took about three weeks between placing my order and receiving it. Accurate delivery timeline would be welcome - if it’s going to be 3 weeks, just say so.

What a great little lunch box. My almost 3 year old loves it! Easy for him to open by himself and carry around. I love the rubberized corners and the chill pack. This made packing for a day trip at the museum easy! I will definitely use it for when he starts talking lunches to school! I would definitely recommend.

These lunch boxes are amazing to pack lunches for my daughter. It makes it easy for my 4yo to open her own lunch. Not requiring a whole bunch of help from the teacher. Plus it gives great portion control for meals. These have made life easier packing lunches for my daughter.

I got one of these for each of my kids (ages 6 and 8) and it's so much easier to pack a lunch that they'll actually eat at school without having to put things in individual containers or ziplocks inside a lunchbox. Everything stays in place and looks yummy when they open it up at school. The optional ice pack is really handy for keeping fruits and veggies fresh on warmer days.
