[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must have if you pack you kid school lunch daily. We have a 4yr old daughter that goes to Pre K4. She such a picky eater so my wife packs her lunch every day. We were introduced to the bento box by a family member who has triplets. She no longer packs their lunches, because then are much older now, so she gifted them (2 bento box) to us. 1 had a broken hinge but still works and 1 was still in great condition (Green one found in the attached photo). After a week of using these, we love them so much that we went and order another one to replace the broken one. To our surprise, the one we order (Pink/Blue) was even smaller. We are now 3 months into the school year, and we just got this latest Bento box (Blue/Green) to try. Compared to the 1st two, the newest one is rounder on the side and it only has 1 latch to lock instead of 2. Newest 1 also has a removable ice pack that is found underneath the tray. One thing that I like about the newest 1, beside the remove ice pack, is the lid. When open, it stands up instead of flipping all the way open / laying complete flat on table. With COVID currently, I feel like this act as barrier, while she is eating lunch.

I bought this for my 1st grade son this school year. Thinking how awesome it was to not have to carry your lunch box/bag back and forth to the cafeteria. But with this bag giving you room for your lunch on the bottom, takes up space alloted for folders, binders, lap tops, etc! My son has a folder that comes and goes each day with him. That barely fits in this back, it does come home bent but that is not his fault that normal size binders dont fit into this backpack. Another thing I do not like is the fact that it only fits the bentgo lunch box and that is it on the bottom. Nt other room for a drink or silveware. We all know no kid brings their whole backpack to lunch, so now my 6 year old has to carry his bentgo box, a drink and whatever snack that did not fit in the bottom to lunch. Luckily I love this brand, so I will just deal with it and purchase the kids bentgo lunch box and he can just clip to his new back pack. But like I said the thought was a great idea...just not practical for me unless they make them bigger!

I purchased this in February 2022, it is now August 2022 and my first container stopped closing all the way a few months after purchasing them. Now the 2nd container is doing the same thing. They won’t stay snapped shut. So I cant use them. I originally loved this lunch container! It kept my children’s lunch nice and cool and the compartments were great for adding more food and keeping them separated! Unfortunately for me, Im not ever sure how the lids stopped staying closed? I haves hand washed them for fear of ruining them in the dishwasher. I would love for a better version of this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 4 year old who is a super picky eater. We had a hard time getting her to eat her lunch prior to getting a Bentgo box. The Bentgo box allows her have variety and it makes it really easy for me to make her lunch as the compartments serve as a guide. I let her pick what goes in 2 of the compartments and she loves to be a part of it. The fact that this version has a tray you can freeze to keep it cold is a huge bonus. We used to use an ice block prior. The tray also comes out to make it easy to wash. Highly recommend this over the boring one item lunch.

We bought three bentgo kids backpacks 2-in-1. As parents, we were looking for beautiful, sturdy and affordable backpacks with different choices of prints. Bentgo checked all the marks. Our triplets were able to choose three different prints and we did not need to buy 3 separate lunch bags as their lunch boxes will conveniently fit in the compartment under their backpacks. Only thing is 2 of our children really wanted the "Mermaids in the sea" and the "Space" prints but unfortunately couldn't find them so they had to choose the "Mermaid scales" and the "Space Rockets" prints. Other than that, amazing! We love them. Can't wait to use them next year for school:)

I bought this for my son and I love it, but it doesn’t really work from him since he is in first grade and it is hard for him to carry his lunch, water bottle and utensils. I think this is a great product for bigger kids. Luckily, I have his lunch bag from Bentgo that I bought for him last year with the same print and it is so good that still looks brand new. I really love all the products and I recommend it.

Backpack is perfect size for my preschooler to use currently and grow into the next few years. Just a note, the lunchbox bottom is insulated. You don’t have to put a lunchbox in it. The zipper lunchbox does not fit inside it. But the bentgo box does.

We’ve had ours for the past 3.5 years and it’s been great! We love this one much more than the classic design. It was easy enough to open and close for my kid when he was little which was important to me and it holds the perfect amount of food! I love that you can choose to use the chill pack or leave it out when it’s not needed!

The backpack is really made from good material I wish the inside was bigger. Also the problem with this design is that most kids don’t bring a backpack to lunch. They have to carry the lunchbox water bottles, silverware all separately and that’s hard for younger kids to keep up with so unfortunately this backpack did not work for us for that reason.

I purchased two of these Bentgo Chill Kids Lunch Boxes because I wanted the built in ice pack for my child’s lunch. I tested it at home - after 3.5 hours, the string cheese was warm and rubbery. The ice pack was warm. I took the internal temperature of the cheese and it was 75 degrees- ick! I’m glad I tested it before sending to school, but disappointed I need to figure out something else…
