This is the perfect back to school backpack! It has all the necessary pouches and compartments to keep school supplies organized but the bentgo zip compartment on the bottom of the pack is GENIUS. No longer does the lunch have to be packed sideways in the main compartment, all the food can stay in its place and to top it off, there’s a compartment for an “I ice pack” to keep the lunch cool on hot days. I’m SO happy with this purchase and my daughter loves the design too 💗

I purchased this backpack for my granddaughter. She takes her lunch to school every day, and she loves this backpack. Having a separate section for the lunch and snack at the bottom is genius. In case we have something leak it doesn't get her books/folders wet. She loves the pen pockets/dividers.

The shape seems much bigger at the bottom; it is weird. Folders/notebooks are squeezed at the top, fit fine on the bottom. The elastic drawstring to snug the side pocket came completely detached on 1 out of the 3 I purchased. I hope my seamstress can fix that. The inability to order the bottle I want because it matches the bag + lunchbox purchased without ordering another bottle that I don't is annoying af. Seriously. If my kids didn't like their look and matchy-ness so much, I would've returned them. I certainly won't be recommending or buying again.

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.

I really needed this style book bag for my son’s Bentgo box. I was highly disappointed when trying to fit a regular sized folder, 2 thin library books in the bag. The book bag is very short, not sufficient for older kids. Think more towards Kindergarten/1st grade. There’s no room for a hoodie or sweatshirt, only one drink pocket, no room for a small football and his recorder for music class doesn’t fit easily. Older kids need longer in length & a second area (the length of the book bag) for extra space. We will use this bag temporarily until I find something sufficient. Don’t recommend purchasing if you need length or space.

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.

The problem I had with the regular bentgo is not feeling like ice packs keep the food cold through the thick plastic, so this is the perfect solution. Have used a few times and the kids love them. More space in the compartments than the regular bentgo as well. My only issue is orange things seem to stain the grey area. Once it was carrots and then it was cheddar cheese the next. I assume it’s just a cosmetic issue, but for the price, I would hope they would stay looking nice as well.

This is great for my kids next step. The slightly larger compartments and the ability to keep the items fresh and cool are a big plus for this SoCal heat! Only thing is it took quite some time to receive my order-expect 8-10 business days so order in advance for next school year.

The lunchbox itself is amazing. Doesn’t leak, seals nicely. Keeps food fresh and the ice pack insert is perfect. Eliminates any issues of food being warm by lunch time! :) my only complaint would be that the grey color scheme stains REALLY easy and is hard to get back to its original color. We love them both but the red and royal blue one doesn’t stain like the grey one.

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.
