My toddler uses it for his daycare lunches and it's perfect. Compact enough for him to lift, which he likes to do, as it makes him feel important. I like that the compartments are fully separated and you don't have to worry about food leaking under those movable walls that some other bento boxes have. It's also super easy to clean. Has held up nicely for us so far. Will purchase another. This is probably too small for a child who is more than 7 or 8 years old. I'll upgrade to a larger size then.

Excellent quality and very well-made. Beautiful color choices. I wish it were easier to open and close for younger kids. I have a 6 year old grandchild who I bought this for uses this box and loves it however, she does have trouble that’s so much with opening, but in closing it.

We got these hoping we could get away with not having to use an ice pack (because we know they would get lost). Unfortunately they don't stay as cold as expected. The inserts don't stack nicely like the original ones when storing them. Also, I would have liked if they opened completely like the other ones. The pros would be the clasp seems more durable and the compartments sizes are better for bigger kids. It fits nicely in the Bentgo backpack which thankfully has a zippered compartment where we put another ice pack they can't lose. Overall it's a great little lunchbox, I think I just got so used to the old ones it will take some time to adjust.

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.

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.

My son is special needs going into kindergarten. We werre told he needs to know how to manage his lunch alone (part of the progress for the special needs class). He has been practicing with his Bentgo and its working out perfectly! He only neds to open one container and then he can choose which foods he wants to eat. Its very convenient!

I really really like this lunchbox. I have 3 kids and bought each of them one. The only thing I hate about it is the compartments could be a little deeper. It does not have room for chips unless you squish them because it's not deep enough. I also think it would be neat to make a microwavable pack or something to be able to keep food hot as well.

I bought this to send my toddler to school with snacks, and it works perfectly--I'm able to pack several days' worth of snacks. It's also easy to take the tray out and clean. I do wish it would fit in the lunch bag with the lunch box, but that's not a design issue with the box.

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.

This lunch box is wonderful! There is just enough space for her to have what she wants to take for lunch. I was worried the compartments where to small but they aren’t. The ice pack stays cold for long and haven’t had issues with that. The only issue I have and the only reason I can’t give the five stars is because of the leakage problem. It does not leak out side of the box but if there is liquid in one of the compartments it’s going into the other. I don’t put it in a dishwasher (I don’t have one) it is all hand washed and surprisingly has not yet been dropped. All together I am very happy with this for my kindergartener
