We have had the Bentgo Kids Chill lunchboxes for over a year. We love them. I actually bought two more boxes and the replacement trays to do food prep on Sundays. This t makes it super easy to pop it in the box in the mornings. I the boxes ready for the one day and the other one ready for the next day. Then when she gets home I can wash the box and put in a new tray. They seal tightly and do not leak out the sides. Sometimes a little bit will leak from one compartment to the other (like if I add frozen cherries and the juice will sometimes leak) but it’s rare. The only con is that it’s a bit heavy. My daughter actually uses two of these boxes each day- one for a snack and one for her lunch. Both together in the lunch bag is heavy with the food. Because of this we don’t use the ice pack every day (to reduce some of the weight) but it’s nice to have when needed. Definitely worth the purchase and we are extremely happy!

I bought the Bentgo Chill box for my preschooler. We used it a few times with the inner ice pack on some outings and picnics, and the food inside did NOT stay chilled. The ice pack is a thin piece of plastic that you freeze, not a true ice pack. I also found that it was impossible for my 3 year old to close with the ice pack inside. So we have been using it without the inner ice pack for school and I put a real ice pack in his lunch box on top of the bentgo box. I must say though, I do like the set up of this bentgo box better than the other (non chill) kids bentgo box. It holds plenty of food for my 3 year old for lunch (although we pack a separate morning snack). For older kids, you might want to find something larger. He has been able to close the box without the icepack on his own after some practice at home. I would recommend putting the bentgo box inside a soft lunch box because there have been a few occasions that he did not snap it close completely, and some food or liquid did spill out. Putting in another soft lunch box protected his backpack and stuff from getting covered in food. I recommend this box if you can find a good deal. But I would not purchase it just for the "chill" aspect, because you will be disappointed.

I only wish I had purchased these earlier for my kids. Bentgo boxes became a staple in my house last school year. No concerns about leaking, love that I can pull the tray out and stick it in the dishwasher, and the sizing is perfect for my kids. My kids love the fun colors and the fact that their lunch isn't smashed from their walk to school (kids will be kids, right?). Bentgo has also shown great customer service to me when I reached out to ask a question. Good customer service makes me a loyal customer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is amazing and does keep the food cold til lunch. It keep food cold, does not leak. The tray holds what they love in separate compartments. The design is great. Color choice is good for boys and girls.

Perfect for Kindergartners and under or smaller quantity eaters. Allows you to pack several different items without them touching or mixing with the other foods. Never leaks, and we love the icepack is built into the bottom...keeps her from forgetting it at lunch or accidently throwing it away.

We have three Bentgo Lunch Boxes, a Snack Box, and a Lunch Bag. My daughter loves the bright colors, but even when she was in preschool, these were easy for her little hands to open. They don't leak, which is something other brands can't tout! She is a huge fan of vegetables, but they need to have ranch dressing, and it's so nice to know the ranch won't end up all over her sandwich. The cold features also make these handy for car rides and days when we are running errands. We love Bentgo!

I bought this for my new preschooler and love it so far. It's easy to clean and use, and provides just the right amount of storage for my daughter's lunch. I bought this one because of the ice pack which is helpful to keep her lunch cold. Highly recommend!

We love how easy this lunchbox is for young children who have difficulty opening food wrappers. Its also great for including smaller amounts of food that can leak. The rubber features in the lid do a fantastic job of preventing any leaking between compartments.

I bought one of the Bentgo Kids Chill lunchboxes to try alongside our multiple Bentgo Kids 5 compartment boxes. I like the integrated chilled tray and find it nice when I want to take just the lunch box without an additional outer lunch bag/box with ice packs. Sometimes it can be finicky about getting the trays inserted perfectly and I wish it has a small dip compartment, but it is a great option overall!

This lunchbox has been perfect for our Kindergartener. He has to take cold lunch 4 days a week, and this makes it so easy for him to open just one thing and everything is ready to eat. The ice pack doesn't necessarily keep his lunch cold until it's time to eat, and a few times we've needed to include silverware so we purchased a lunch box to hold the Bentgo. We also added in more slim ice packs and now it's cold even when he gets home.
