Great for my kindergartener! The bottom lunch holder area takes away from the book bag depth. But she can still carry her home folder back and forth. It can get heavy, since she is in aftercare and takes lunch and snacks. We also go the bento lunchbox too, in hindsight I probably need a separate lunch box for the bentgo and her snacks. We are making it work.

We weren’t sure at first if this backpack would fit a kindergartner but after receiving it we think it’s sized perfectly to match anyone within the first years of school. We like that it also has a lunch box compartment so we don’t have to worry about that. I’m glad we picked this one.

I wanted to love this but it just doesn’t work for my daughter. I bought the chill mini and the xl chill but both have the same issues. The tray and ice pack seem to create some sort of suction and it’s almost impossible to get them open. She has commented that if she lets it warm up it seems easier to open but she really doesn’t have the time to wait.

We’ve got two of these for our kiddos and love them. Very well made. (We’ve got the lunch boxes, ice packs, snack containers, we are all in!) Bottom cold compartment has a zip pocket for ice packs. And keeps their lunches cold until lunch. They are usually still pretty cool when we pick them up even in the hot days. Definitely recommend to round out your Bentgo collection.

Wish I had just purchased another one of your regular boxes instead of the Chill. The weight difference is more substantial than I expected in my kid's backpack, and I think the sections are actually more useful in the regular box. (But we shall see - I haven't needed to use the ice pack yet so this may be a critical advantage sometimes!) But overall, absolutely in love with my Bentgo boxes -- they're the perfect size and really do a fantastic job keeping the sections from spilling into each other.

Love the freezer pack that goes in it and the size of the compartments. Only thing I don't like is that the top does open all the way and lay flat. Kids like to eat their left overs on the way home and its hard in the car because it tips backward when they are trying to eat.

My kids love to carry lunch in those lunchboxes, say it's very tasty. Backpack are practical and good looking. And having one in two totally makes sense - no to extra bags. Love it, highly recommended. But A4 fits not ideally. One folder possible to fit with adjustment, a lot of things such size - not really.

Love the quality and durability of this backpack. Plenty of room to store most items. The backpack looks tall because of the lower lunchbox compartment. However, standard size folders and binders have to be tilted in the larger compartment to fit without bending. This bag is good for younger students who do not have to carry many supplies at once.

We love this lunch box! I was so happy to finally have a good option for keeping my kids lunch cool! The only down side is that it is difficult for my kids to close (mostly just the kindergardener) and sometimes the ice pack can become stuck inside of the try and it takes a little wiggling to get it out. Otherwise, an awesome lunch box option!

My toddler uses it for his daycare lunches and it's perfect. Compact enough for him to lift, which he likes to do, as it makes him feel important. I like that the compartments are fully separated and you don't have to worry about food leaking under those movable walls that some other bento boxes have. It's also super easy to clean. Has held up nicely for us so far. Will purchase another. This is probably too small for a child who is more than 7 or 8 years old. I'll upgrade to a larger size then.
