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.

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!

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.

We love these backpacks for our younger kids! Our boys used them from Kindergarten through 2nd grade. We also loved that there wasn't a separate lunchbox that was taking up space in their backpack with their homework and books. Only complaint is that the drawstring on the water bottle pocket get worn out fast, would much prefer elastic.

We haven't used this just yet as we bought it for the upcoming school year, but so far seems to be a great product. The backpack storage is a bit shorter than a usual backpack because of the built in lunch box, but this will be fine for my daughter as she's only going into kindergarten. However, I could see that being an issue for an older kid who may have more materials and books on a daily basis

Excellent quality and very well-made. Beautiful color choices. I wish it were easier to open and close for younger kids. I have a 6 year old grandchild who I bought this for uses this box and loves it however, she does have trouble that’s so much with opening, but in closing it.

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.

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.

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.

It’s ok. It’s good. Better than using plastic baggies. I do like that it’s easy to clean and I like the spacing of the compartments. What I don’t like is that the inside tray comes loose pretty easy, when opening the box sometimes it even gets stuck to the top portion. Also the “chill” ice pack doesn’t stay cold at all, it’s pointless honestly.
