My kid picked this out for his kindergarten year. It took some work to figure out opening and closing it on his own, and at first, he'd sometimes not get it closed back all the way, which created a mess if he had leftovers. More importantly, the ice pack doesn't stay cold nearly long enough to keep everything cool for very long, which could be an issue if you have a later lunch or aren't storing it in a very cool place in the meantime. It would also be nice if there was a carrying bag available for this; it's kind of slippery and difficult for little hands to carry to the lunch room, especially along with a water bottle. We found a small tote bag that worked fine, but having bags made to fit (and maybe to coordinate with the colors or collabs) would be helpful. All that said, the basic usability of being able to separate out his lunch items was great, and being able to toss the insert in the dishwasher was super helpful. We got a 2 pack, but ended up putting the 2nd box away, as we usually run the dishwasher every other day, and the spare ice pack came in handy when we forgot to unpack his lunch box the night before. At the price it was, he'll be using them again this year, but if I had it to do over again, I'd just get the regular bento box and use separate ice packs.

We love our Chill box... Bentgo, could you please PLEASE make a Chill in stainless steel???? That would be perfect. I don't want to choose between the food safety aspect of keeping my child's lunch cold, and the plastic-free safety aspect of stainless steel. In the meantime, I would recommend this lunchbox to anyone. Thank you :)

I got 2 of these last year for my girls for school, and we absolutely loved them. Only issue was about halfway through the school year they stopped sealing correctly and the fruit juice from one compartment started to make their sandwiches/chips soggy. We love the freezable trays though!

I love it, it’s the perfect size for his chilled snacks

Smaller that I expected but it's just enough for a light snack time

Nice size for snacks. Wont fit with a big bentgo in a lunch box but could work alone

My 5 year old grandson isn’t the typical sandwich and chips for lunch guy. So this box allows us to do more charcuterie type items. He loves his lunchable box.

Works well. A little hard to close. The ice pack is NOT dishwasher safe. My husband put it in the dishwasher and it warped. It's been impossible to find a replacement in the right size, compatible with Chill Max.

I am a big fan of this company's products, but this is one to stay away from. I have owned 4 of them and all 4 have had the clasp break with normal use. The tabs that hold the clap in place on the lid need to be re-engineered. Specifically the plastic knobs that hold the clasp in place - they break off and render the entire snack box useless. Replacement clasps are not sold/available so into the garbage it goes after a few months of use. That said, when the clasp works, this snack box is great. It is leakproof, pretty easy to clean, and the rest of the product is durable. Fix the clasp OR offer free replacements for the clasp.

Its nice, things stay cold and its easy. I wish the sandwich area could actually fit a whole sandwich. Sometimes there is some escape of liquid from fruit etc in another container you may not want soggy which is also a draw back. They are also pretty heavy. The kids say they like them though.
