My 2nd grader loves this bento box. The ice pack part is nice. Of course, you have to remember to put it in the freezer the night before. I do wish the compartments were a little deeper. It can be hard to close even with a small mandarin orange in it.

This backpack/lunchbox is well made. It is larger than my 4 year old granddaughter, but, she expects to wear it anyway. The lunchbox in the bottom holds the Bentgo Fresh box and a 12 Oz. pre-packaged drink. It also holds a 1.4 Oz. pouch of pop tart bites and a sandwich bag of Chex Mix, both laid out as flat as you can on top of the fresh box. The mesh pouch on the side of the backpack also holds a 14 oz. Munchkin brand Miracle 360 Sippy Cup. Perfect set-up for school necessities, change of clothes, lunch and snack!

Seal is great, easy to open to open and close for my child. Enough spaces for a variety of foods. It stays cold for a bit but my son says by lunch time his food is only a little cold so I worry about parking anything like cheese or yogurt :/ also I wish it was just a little bigger , and that there was adult size chill boxes for me! Over all a good product only BIG improvement I would say is a longer chilled ice pack. :)

It’s difficult to get the tray in and out to put the ice pack in. Which is a slight inconvenience and may get easier with time. The bigger issue is it’s pretty difficult to open and close for my 3 year old. Which leads to spilled and mixed food, defeating the purpose of buying a leak proof option, my 5 year old is capable of closing properly- so definitely possible just difficult for small hands

I love the freezer pack that's included in the box. My kids love these and are so excited that they have been packing their own lunch using these boxes all week. Teachers love them because they don't have to help my 4 year old open a bunch of wrappers and such.

These backpacks are great! So far they seem like they’re good quality. We’ll see as the time progresses, how they hold up. Purchased them to go along with the kids’ chill boxes. When we put the ice in the Bentgo Chill Box, it didn’t keep our kids’ food cold until lunchtime so figured we’d try these backpacks in combination. Perfect! We stick another ice pack on top of the Bentgo box inside the lunch box pocket and everything stays ice cold.

Price is reasonable, and the bag is beautiful . However the way the lunch box is build it is not comfortable to carry on the back,; it caves in around the lunch box seam, and for little kids who have to pull out their lunch and snack boxes in separate bins at school, it's not a smart idea. (would be great if you can attach and detach the part with extra zipper for slight extra fee). I will return!

The lunchbox does a good job of chilling, according to my little, but his lunch bag has been a mess when he gets home. If he does not finish his food (yogurt, applesauce, hummus, dipping sauces etc) it leaks out of the compartment(s). The foods mix inside of the compartments as well (ie yogurt mixes into the ketchup). It’s also pretty heavy compared to other lunchboxes.

So easy to use, keeps food cold until lunch time, and very easy to clean at the end of the day. I love that the individual compartments stay separate from each other, allowing me to mix crackers and yogurts without worrying that they will spill over.

My children had a non ice pack model that lasted for 3 years and was used daily. We purchased these for this school year. It is difficult to close and open. My first grader was able to independently open and close the other model and now she has to ask for help daily. Not the independence I want to foster. I appreciate that the ice pack can be reused, but I wouldn’t purchase again…especially for the price.
