The silicone material that is on the inside lid of the container, the 'leakproof technology' turns moldy after awhile. I've been using this for my son for about 3 years, and now there is a black mold on the silicone that is impossible to remove. Seems like it's better to go with an all-BPA free plastic container or a metal container.

We have owned several bentgo boxes, starting with the bentgo kid. What I love about them is it makes packing lunch easy. The kids know, one section holds their protein, one their fruit, one their vegetable and one their grain. It makes me confident that they can pack their own lunch and get a well balanced diet. The bentgo kids was the perfect size for kindergarten and below, but as we started to try to stuff whole sandwiches into it over time it eventually did crack and break. So definitely size up rather than stuff it! Bentgo was great though and they do stand behind them for 2 years and replaced it since it was just under 2 years (they definitely aren't flimsy but kids are tough on things!). I love the bentgo fresh as it has plenty of room for my 2-4th graders, I even have been know to pack them more than they can eat in it. There have been 2 issues with the bentgo fresh, one has been the hinge on both of the two we own eventually broke when dropped just at the right angle. Luckily my husband was able to fix both with baking soda and super glue which made me happy they didn't end up in the land fill (I am sure bentgo would have helped us out with a replacement). And one of them has been going strong for over a year with this fix (the other was dropped recently). To avoid this problem I am trying out the bentgo pop for my 3rd child. The hinges seem to be protected here so hopefully we won't have to worry about them. And the second problem has been the dividers getting thrown away. I love the divider and it seems to fit very snuggly, but somehow my children find a way to not come home with them. I do not know if they bang their food out when emptying them and they fall out, but unfortunately bentgo does not sell replacements. Hopefully they will change this as they already sell replacements for utensils and other parts that easily wander away. Overall we have really enjoyed ours, they make school lunches easy and are great for traveling (car or plane) as they easily sit in their lap. Hopefully my review helps others avoid a few of the hassles we had along the way!

Overall great quality. I loved how the lunchbox has compartments for snacks, and a sandwich. The tray comes off for easy cleaning. I only wish that the silicone seal on the lid would be removable so I could replace it instead of having to get a new lunchbox.

I love this lunch box for my pre schooler and first grader. The size is perfect and fits in their Herschel lunchbox as well as the other's Pottery barn lunchbox. The compartments are a good size for portions, it's very easy to open and close, and best of all it's so easy to clean and ACTUALLY get clean without having food caught in funky seams or anything!

This is the only thing I use for my daughter for lunch who is in pre k and have been using them since she was 18 months! These are the only things I will use. Quality product with a great company that stands by their products. Will buy for all my kids and recommend to anyone!

This is the best lunchbox I have purchased! I have tried so many brands so far. It has worked perfectly for both my boys. Absolutely amazing products. We purchased the lunchbag and 2 in 1 backpack. Genius product. I love it! My kids love it! Very happy with the purchase.

We love our bentgo boxes and use them daily for our girl’s lunches. We have three bentgo boxes and they have held up great, especially with two toddlers who aren’t always very gentle. The boxes are easy to open, which my children can do all on their own. They were able to open them by themselves at 18 months old. The boxes are easy to clean. I hand wash them but you can wash the middle piece on the top rack of your dishwasher as well. I did have a question for customer service and I was very happy with how quickly they were available to talk with me and resolve the issue. Overall, I have been very pleased with this product and company as a whole!

I have three kids (1.5-5) that use and LOVE Bentgo lunch boxes!! They are super kid friendly, have just the right amount and sizes of compartments for all the food options my littles need and want! I couldn't have asked for a better and more reliable lunchbox for my kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Bentgo lunchbox is awesome! It's easy to clean. It is the perfect portion size. It has a great seal .It is easy to open and close.I love how I can separate the portions and there is no spillage.There is a dipping spot which is awesome because there is no mess,it doesn't go everywhere.The food stays where it should!

I have been using Bentgo for years for my daugther at school. I love that is a leak proof and easy to open and close for little hands and the variety of colors. The only down is that mine grown mold on the rubber, even though I only hand wash right away when she gets home from school. However still loves the lunch box and customer service is great. ++
