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!

Durable backpacks and they fit their Bentgo lunchboxes, their 3-ring binders, and a change of clothes for my 1st graders. There's still extra room for more in the front zip area. We have the rocket ship and the monster truck backpacks and my boys love them along with their coordinating Bentgo lunchboxes and Bentgo chill boxes. There's a place for the water bottle on the right side of the backpack. Please make more designs for the backpacks for next year!

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.

I was looking for a backpack for my son who was about to start his preschool. The main criteria was for it to be spacious, high quality, accommodate A4 folder and have a place on its side for a water bottle. This backpack meets all these criteria and even more. I love the idea of a build-in lunch bag! It’s super convenient!

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.

Great concept, slow delivery. Built-in ice pack is genius. Great colors and sturdy feel. Seal/bumper also seem durable. It took about three weeks between placing my order and receiving it. Accurate delivery timeline would be welcome - if it’s going to be 3 weeks, just say so.

My 2nd grader loves this bento box. The ice pack part is nice. Of course, you have to remember to put it in the freezer the night before. I do wish the compartments were a little deeper. It can be hard to close even with a small mandarin orange in it.

This is our go to box out of all our Bentgo boxes. Love the sleek look. So convenient to have a built in removable ice pack. Keeps food cool up until lunch time. Easy opening even our 2 year old is able to open it by themselves. Durable after many drops it remains intact. Can't get enough of this lunchbox.

I got this backpack for my kiddo who started TK. He only needs to have space for extra clothes and a standard folder. The main compartment can fit a folder, but the top corners get bent a little after zipping shut. With the extra clothes it gets a little tricky for younger kids to get the folder in and out. Also, our school has the kiddos place their lunch bags in a separate bin under their backpacks for easy access when snack or lunch starts. If I had known this, I would not have opted for this style backpack. Just something to keep in mind for the littlest kids starting school for the first time. My son loves his backpack so I will keep it.

Price is reasonable, and the bag is beautiful . However the way the lunch box is build it is not comfortable to carry on the back,; it caves in around the lunch box seam, and for little kids who have to pull out their lunch and snack boxes in separate bins at school, it's not a smart idea. (would be great if you can attach and detach the part with extra zipper for slight extra fee). I will return!
