My kindergartener has only used the bag for 14 school days and the water bottle elastic broke. She doesn’t carry much in her bag since she gets school lunch, just her folder, snack, and her water bottle. She cried when she realized it was broken. I expected better quality for the cost. So far the rest of the bag seems fine but who knows what the next 14 days will bring.

We like the bigger compartments than the other models. Harder to put the pieces together and close the lid though. Hand washing every time takes more time than putting in the dishwasher. Otherwise it’s a great product. Could Bentgo put a lunchbox menu list/cookbook for adults and children? Their promotional photos look so appetizing!

The lunchbox itself is amazing. Doesn’t leak, seals nicely. Keeps food fresh and the ice pack insert is perfect. Eliminates any issues of food being warm by lunch time! :) my only complaint would be that the grey color scheme stains REALLY easy and is hard to get back to its original color. We love them both but the red and royal blue one doesn’t stain like the grey one.

This is my first time purchasing the bentgo with the built in ice pack and now I wish this was the only kind we had. My kids have an easier time opening it, it keeps food colder, and it fits in their lunch bag better. Really great quality and easy to clean.

Great idea. The fabric is very durable and I think it will stand up to our boys (one went through 3 backpack in a school year). We love the idea of the attached cooler area for the lunch box. We only wish the main compartment for school items was bigger. My son can barely fit his 1" binder in there. Only other change is it would be nice to have 2 water bottle holders on each side not just the 1. We live where it's very hot and sometimes we send 2 water bottles. Other than that it's working well so far.

I love the Bentgo Kids Chill Lunch Box - it seems to be locked-tight so food does not move from one section to the other while closed. The chill pack works great to keep everything cool until lunch. I appreciate that the compartmentalized tray can be put in the dishwasher, but PLEASE, please make the outer shell dishwasher safe, as well! The inside top of the outer shell is hand-wash only and it gets very messy from all of the foods touching the top/lid. It is very hard/awkward to wash with the hinge and clasp there.

The chill lunch box is okay. Don’t expect the freezer part of the box to keep things cold for long. I had to order a lunch bag and flat ice packs to make sure it keeps cold. The Bentgo flat ice packs are amazing! They’re still ice cold 7 hours later when my kid gets home from school. The only problem I have now is his backpack(not the bentgo one) is getting wet from the condensation.

These are so nice for our kids. We pack a lot of lunches and this box allows us to pack multiple items and only dirty one dish. Love the ice pack being inside of it but the reason for 4 stars is that it doesn’t keep everything as cold as our kids would like it.

Overall we love the back pack. It fits our bento boxes well. I do wish it was a tad bit wider so a drink would fit better with it but I just put a juice box on its side and it seems to go well. Its also a little big for our son whose on the bigger size of his age (4.5 years) but he will grow into it. It fits all his things nicely and we don't have to worry about his box spilling on everything else if he fails to close it properly.

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.
