Love the chill lunchbox. Much easier than a regular lunchbox plus ice pack. My kid is a huge fan of the streamlined option!

My kid picked this out for his kindergarten year. It took some work to figure out opening and closing it on his own, and at first, he'd sometimes not get it closed back all the way, which created a mess if he had leftovers. More importantly, the ice pack doesn't stay cold nearly long enough to keep everything cool for very long, which could be an issue if you have a later lunch or aren't storing it in a very cool place in the meantime. It would also be nice if there was a carrying bag available for this; it's kind of slippery and difficult for little hands to carry to the lunch room, especially along with a water bottle. We found a small tote bag that worked fine, but having bags made to fit (and maybe to coordinate with the colors or collabs) would be helpful. All that said, the basic usability of being able to separate out his lunch items was great, and being able to toss the insert in the dishwasher was super helpful. We got a 2 pack, but ended up putting the 2nd box away, as we usually run the dishwasher every other day, and the spare ice pack came in handy when we forgot to unpack his lunch box the night before. At the price it was, he'll be using them again this year, but if I had it to do over again, I'd just get the regular bento box and use separate ice packs.

We love our Chill box... Bentgo, could you please PLEASE make a Chill in stainless steel???? That would be perfect. I don't want to choose between the food safety aspect of keeping my child's lunch cold, and the plastic-free safety aspect of stainless steel. In the meantime, I would recommend this lunchbox to anyone. Thank you :)

We have had the fossil backpack for 2 years now. My son has used it for pre-k and kindergarten. It has held up through all of his adventures. He is a tiny guy, so the backpack looks huge on him but with the buckle in the front, he manages it just fine. The extra padded straps give him comfort for carrying heavy loads. Which is usually just extra clothes. His folder does get bent a little, so when he gets into higher grades and has to carry more books, it may not fit well. But for now, it works great for us. It has been reliable and functional for the last 2 years. We will be reusing it next year as well. The lunch box compartment on the bottom really helps him have less to carry, which is important. It is also big enough to throw in extra snacks that will not fit in the lunchbox. They do occasionally get squished as there is no support on the bottom but they are just extra snacks and he doesn't mind. We really love this booking.

I got 2 of these last year for my girls for school, and we absolutely loved them. Only issue was about halfway through the school year they stopped sealing correctly and the fruit juice from one compartment started to make their sandwiches/chips soggy. We love the freezable trays though!

I love it, it’s the perfect size for his chilled snacks

Works well. A little hard to close. The ice pack is NOT dishwasher safe. My husband put it in the dishwasher and it warped. It's been impossible to find a replacement in the right size, compatible with Chill Max.

Tray lifts with the lid! I bought two of these for my boys to use on our vacation. Well guess what? I could’t open the dang thing because the trays got stuck with the lid and won’t open. I packed fruits and snacks to the beach never got to eat them. My husband had to force it to open when we got back to the hotel.

Keeps food cold all day! A little bigger than the snack box

It’s really nice and functional. I absolutely love the color.
