First off, cute design! In theory this is a great idea, two birds one stone kind of thing. Unfortunately the actual size of the backpack is small. I have no idea how all necessary school materials will fit inside. Save yourself time and money and just buy a back bag and lunch box separately.

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!

Good product overall. I'm used to more technical gear, which can maintain temperature for extended/predictable amounts of time. However, this does a good enough job for school lunches. The latch can be a little difficult to open/close, even for the adults in the house.

Best investment for my families everyday lunches, even my 4 & 5 year old love to pack their lunches they think it’s so much fun!! Heck even I do!! These backpacks are life with my younger ones so small they are perfect to have lunch and school folders together also the net pocket on side is great for any size water bottle.

The shape seems much bigger at the bottom; it is weird. Folders/notebooks are squeezed at the top, fit fine on the bottom. The elastic drawstring to snug the side pocket came completely detached on 1 out of the 3 I purchased. I hope my seamstress can fix that. The inability to order the bottle I want because it matches the bag + lunchbox purchased without ordering another bottle that I don't is annoying af. Seriously. If my kids didn't like their look and matchy-ness so much, I would've returned them. I certainly won't be recommending or buying again.

It's a nice lunch box. I like the layout more than other Bentgo kids lunch boxes, for us the serving compartments are just right for main, fruit, veggie, grain. It is a bit wobbly if you use it without the ice pack. I do like the icepack and the fact it can be remove, saved until the last minute if you want to pack a day ahead. Unfortunately, the ice pack doesn't keep lunch cold all day, I need to add an extra ice pack to the lunch box to have it chilled properly all day. If I pack it for only 2-3 hours the built in ice pack is sufficient.

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!

Love the Bentgo lunch boxes and the idea of a built-in ice pack sounded great, but not the most functional to send our toddler to preschool because of its weight. With the ice pack in it, it’s pretty bulky and a bit heavy. Probably perfect for an older child!

It is a beautiful print, but I feel like this is for someone in a lower grade. It does not fit my daughters binders, she is in 5th grade. We did however keep the lunchbox for my daughter. We got the bookbag and lunchbox for my son in a different print, he is in 1st grade and everything fits perfectly in the book bag.

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.
