I bought 2 of the Bentgo boxes for my boys. These are our second set. I love that we don’t have to rely on many tupperwares. Since you can’t put the outside case in the dishwasher it needs to be washed and dried well. We had an instance where mold accumulated; Bentgo agreed to replace the product.

These are cute containers for my kids' snacks. We also have the clear Bento Snack Boxes. We use these when the sections of the bento boxes aren't large enough. It's easy enough to take apart so that we can get it washed and tried. And the kids like the colors.

I bought the Bentgo Chill box for my preschooler. We used it a few times with the inner ice pack on some outings and picnics, and the food inside did NOT stay chilled. The ice pack is a thin piece of plastic that you freeze, not a true ice pack. I also found that it was impossible for my 3 year old to close with the ice pack inside. So we have been using it without the inner ice pack for school and I put a real ice pack in his lunch box on top of the bentgo box. I must say though, I do like the set up of this bentgo box better than the other (non chill) kids bentgo box. It holds plenty of food for my 3 year old for lunch (although we pack a separate morning snack). For older kids, you might want to find something larger. He has been able to close the box without the icepack on his own after some practice at home. I would recommend putting the bentgo box inside a soft lunch box because there have been a few occasions that he did not snap it close completely, and some food or liquid did spill out. Putting in another soft lunch box protected his backpack and stuff from getting covered in food. I recommend this box if you can find a good deal. But I would not purchase it just for the "chill" aspect, because you will be disappointed.

We have used Bentgo boxes for years and were excited this year to find the Bentgo Kids Chill Lunch Box with the ice pack part of the box itself. Our son uses it everyday for school and we hand wash it every day. Unfortunately the rubber seals have been developing mold and no matter how much I try to clean them I can not make them go away. I’ve tried Dawn, I’ve tried white vinegar. I’ve tried soaking it in a mixture of the two and despite our best efforts the mold is starting to spread more and I don’t feel comfortable using this anymore. I am very disappointed because we loved this product and it was perfect for our son’s school lunches and we followed the cleaning instructions and still had issues with mold.

We bought this to go with a thermal food jar, so there was a warm food and some cold sides. We have found this little box holds a lot! It’s my daughters favorite for Macerated strawberries, frozen blue berries, yogurt and granola, all kinds of stuff. We do pack it with an ice pack and that seems to help a lot, but the box does it’s job to keep food sealed and separate. We really like it a lot and would recommend to anyone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bentgo kids snack container is the perfect size, leakproof, and easy to travel with. My son loves to use this for his veggies and dip, but it can be used for so many things. It’s also really great for those people that are measuring certain portions, since the large compartment holds one cup and the smaller portion holds a half cup portion. This is great for promoting healthy snacks over packaged snacks, and fits perfectly in my sons lunchbox. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to pack healthier snacks, without worrying about it leaking all over your kids backpack. The tray is also dishwasher safe, which will save time afterwards.

We have use bentgo lunch box for a few years. We recently switch to the bentgo chill and I am not satisfy with the quality of the product. The closing bottom stop working on one of them and it can not be use anymore. I think the idea is great but it needs some changes in design. Also, it can not open completely and it is harder to wash. I will recommend bentgo products but not the chill lunch box.

We have three Bentgo Lunch Boxes, a Snack Box, and a Lunch Bag. My daughter loves the bright colors, but even when she was in preschool, these were easy for her little hands to open. They don't leak, which is something other brands can't tout! She is a huge fan of vegetables, but they need to have ranch dressing, and it's so nice to know the ranch won't end up all over her sandwich. The cold features also make these handy for car rides and days when we are running errands. We love Bentgo!

This lunchbox has been perfect for our Kindergartener. He has to take cold lunch 4 days a week, and this makes it so easy for him to open just one thing and everything is ready to eat. The ice pack doesn't necessarily keep his lunch cold until it's time to eat, and a few times we've needed to include silverware so we purchased a lunch box to hold the Bentgo. We also added in more slim ice packs and now it's cold even when he gets home.

I have a pre-k son, and he absolutely loves how he can be independent, not having to ask for help to open his lunch, and it stays cold through his day. The snack container is perfect in every aspect; size for in the back pack and portion size. They are both easy to open, keeps everything perfectly separated, and are easy to wash.
