Bentgo really thought of everything when it comes to the design of this backpack. There’s a thought about every component from the space for the water bottle and the bungee to keep it in place to the space below for an ice pack. I couldn’t recommend this backpack more. The lunch box keeps everything cool/warm and the compartments keep foods separate perfectly. The quality is through the roof. Money well spent. We got the sports themed combo and the colors are vibrant and I can tell this will wash beautifully.

A perfect, durable “lunch box” for my toddler. It makes it so easy to pack a healthy snack while we are out all morning or afternoon. Food stays cold for hours. I especially love the removable compartments to change the sizes of the boxes depending on what snacks we pack that day. I love the hard shell to throw in the car, bottom of the stroller, or even a backpack. It’s thin enough to fit easily anywhere along all the other stuff that comes with kids. Highly recommend purchasing a few of these!

I bought each of my children a backpack and the matching bentgo boxes. They are so excited for school and having the perfect set ups!. The material is very nice and the entire backpack seems very well thought out. We were just wondering when there will be a matching water bottle!.

My new 9th-grader didn't want to take a traditional lunch box to school this year, so I searched online and found this one. We originally didn't consider it because it's a "kids" box, but the adult version offered does not have the removable freezer tray, which she needed to keep certain things cold. So we went back to the Kids Chill and chose the gray color, which toned down the "kid" factor. Upon arrival, it doesn't look like a kids box at all - it's very stylish. It does get a little heavy with the freezer tray in, but that's to be expected. Still way more compact than a lunch box. Only complaint is when she put yogurt in one of the compartments, it leaked over into the neighboring compartments; not a biggie but we won't be putting anything that liquid-y in again. Overall great product, especially for the price!

Love it. Love the design. Very durable and easy to use. Only wish it could fit a sandwich. Even if i cut up a sandwich, it still doesn't fit. Not a deal breaker though. I use dinner rolls for sandwiches instead. It fits 2 of them nicely :) highly recommend buying a bentgo chill lunch box!

The one we got is too small. The compartments are tiny and better suited to a toddler than a 5-year-old or school-age kid. I love the functionality and the look of this and am really disappointed that we can only use it for snacks. We will be looking for something bigger and trying to find a thermos as well.

My children had a non ice pack model that lasted for 3 years and was used daily. We purchased these for this school year. It is difficult to close and open. My first grader was able to independently open and close the other model and now she has to ask for help daily. Not the independence I want to foster. I appreciate that the ice pack can be reused, but I wouldn’t purchase again…especially for the price.

My 3 1/2 yo loves it and it fits great. Until we put the lunch box in the bottom, where it’s holder is. She struggles to pick up the whole pack, put it on, and walk. I end up putting it in with my lunch so she can at least decently move with just the backpack.

It wasn't quite clear that the bottom is an included lunch box, and is not a storage pocket for a separate lunchbox. This backpack is a perfect size and works for my preschooler. But his life would be easier if the lunch box could just slide out of that pocket. I tried to go back and reread the description and look at pictures. But it's not clear from what I am seeing.

Wish I had just purchased another one of your regular boxes instead of the Chill. The weight difference is more substantial than I expected in my kid's backpack, and I think the sections are actually more useful in the regular box. (But we shall see - I haven't needed to use the ice pack yet so this may be a critical advantage sometimes!) But overall, absolutely in love with my Bentgo boxes -- they're the perfect size and really do a fantastic job keeping the sections from spilling into each other.
