We love these backpacks for our younger kids! Our boys used them from Kindergarten through 2nd grade. We also loved that there wasn't a separate lunchbox that was taking up space in their backpack with their homework and books. Only complaint is that the drawstring on the water bottle pocket get worn out fast, would much prefer elastic.

The lunchbox does a good job of chilling, according to my little, but his lunch bag has been a mess when he gets home. If he does not finish his food (yogurt, applesauce, hummus, dipping sauces etc) it leaks out of the compartment(s). The foods mix inside of the compartments as well (ie yogurt mixes into the ketchup). It’s also pretty heavy compared to other lunchboxes.

I really needed this style book bag for my son’s Bentgo box. I was highly disappointed when trying to fit a regular sized folder, 2 thin library books in the bag. The book bag is very short, not sufficient for older kids. Think more towards Kindergarten/1st grade. There’s no room for a hoodie or sweatshirt, only one drink pocket, no room for a small football and his recorder for music class doesn’t fit easily. Older kids need longer in length & a second area (the length of the book bag) for extra space. We will use this bag temporarily until I find something sufficient. Don’t recommend purchasing if you need length or space.

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.

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!

I bought each of my children a backpack and the matching bentgo boxes. They are so excited for school and having the perfect set ups!. The material is very nice and the entire backpack seems very well thought out. We were just wondering when there will be a matching water bottle!.

It’s ok. It’s good. Better than using plastic baggies. I do like that it’s easy to clean and I like the spacing of the compartments. What I don’t like is that the inside tray comes loose pretty easy, when opening the box sometimes it even gets stuck to the top portion. Also the “chill” ice pack doesn’t stay cold at all, it’s pointless honestly.

This is perfect for my kids’ school lunches. I even plan on using them during the summer. We’ll just make them up in the morning and we can eat it during the day when we get hungry. I got one for each kid and myself. Will be easy to just grab it and take it to the park. It’s not super big but I add an almond milk box and a nut bar and then it’s enough food for one person. I really like the freezer trey that keeps the food cold although I still add an ice pack to the lunch box to keep the drinks cold.

Wish I had just purchased another one of your regular boxes instead of the Chill. The weight difference is more substantial than I expected in my kid's backpack, and I think the sections are actually more useful in the regular box. (But we shall see - I haven't needed to use the ice pack yet so this may be a critical advantage sometimes!) But overall, absolutely in love with my Bentgo boxes -- they're the perfect size and really do a fantastic job keeping the sections from spilling into each other.

We like this product. The cold pack stays cold until lunchtime and makes it so much easier to take a packed lunch for school. We do wish that there was a second choice in a bigger size, but it does hold a nice lunch. This size fits in the front pouch of a backpack, so it’s perfect for older kids.
