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.

So handy for trips to the park and restaurant visits for my little guy. We even used it to feed my 11 month old lunch on the airplane. My guy loves having choices with the different compartments and I like the detachable ice pack. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to make their lives easier with a little one on the go.

I absolutely love the Bentgo Kids Chill Lunch Box! It fits so much food and keeps everything cool. I can put a sandwich, string cheese, drinkable yogurt, berries and little pretzels in and I know they will stay in place. It is also very easy for my 4 year old to open and close it while he is at school.

I love the concept but it is heavy and difficult to close for my 5 year old. It’s durable and looks good but the bottom also sweats a little bit when it has the cold ice pack in it. Wish I hadn’t thrown box etc away because I would have returned for traditional style

We’ve got two of these for our kiddos and love them. Very well made. (We’ve got the lunch boxes, ice packs, snack containers, we are all in!) Bottom cold compartment has a zip pocket for ice packs. And keeps their lunches cold until lunch. They are usually still pretty cool when we pick them up even in the hot days. Definitely recommend to round out your Bentgo collection.

We love this lunchbox! We also have the regular kids’ lunchbox and find this one to be easier for our 3-year-old to open independently, which is a plus at preschool mealtime. We also like the bigger compartments of this box! The only very minor downside we’ve found is that the built-in ice pack makes the box sweat a bit but it’s a small price to pay to eliminate the need for an extra ice pack.

This Backpack/lunchbox is perfect! Just the right size to hold plenty of necessities for school/daycare but not so big that toddler's can not carry themselves. AND allows parents to not have to schlep a ton of bags in and out. And the kiddos love the fun prints!

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

We love our Bentgo Chill lunch boxes. We have 4! And two of the snack containers. They hold up so well to my two rough and tumble kiddos. We use them for school, picnics, road trips and more. I recommend them to all my friends. If you’re hesitant on the price tag know it’s worth it. You don’t have to replace these constantly like cheaper brands. They are well built and worth every dollar.

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.
