I wanted to love this but it just doesn’t work for my daughter. I bought the chill mini and the xl chill but both have the same issues. The tray and ice pack seem to create some sort of suction and it’s almost impossible to get them open. She has commented that if she lets it warm up it seems easier to open but she really doesn’t have the time to wait.

Super cute, seems sturdy and well-made. But the size. It won't fit a binder without serious wrestling. Kids in the age bracket listed for this bag often have folders and binders and a bag needs to hold them easily. The colors are vibrant and zippers worked easily. The organization pockets were nice - not too many to where things get jumbled, but enough to keep things tidy.

My son has had this box for a week now and I will say when I pick him up from school inside of his insulated lunch box and not his book bag, it does stay cold. But I downside is that it is much larger and heavier than expected and when the container is closed without the ice pack it is VERY HARD to open and I have to use a fork or knife to pry it open, but with the ice tray opens with no issue. It is also hard to pull the ice tray out at the end of the day.

Game-changer! This backpack is lightweight with good back and shoulder support. The zippers are made well, work well, and have gripes (helpful for small hands). The insulated bottom works with both types of Bentgo lunch boxes (with or without the ice trays). Adjustable cup holder for lots of sizes. Lots of compartment space. Brilliant for our kindergartener.

Love the print and the idea of the lunchbox on the bottom. I do wish the box part was removable, but knew that it wasn’t before hand so no big deal. The backpack, however, is very small inside and needs to be a couple of inches taller. Right now we have to bend my kiddos take home folder to fit inside and if she wanted to put a sweatshirt or jacket in there it would be full.

This is the best lunch box ever, previously we used the same but bigger for 2 school years. The quality is top! My son loves it. We live in California and it's too hot sometimes for carrying sandwiches without ice pack. With this box my son has a healthy and fresh lunch every day. I also paid it with the snacks box. They both perfectly fit a bentgo lunch bag!

This is the third one that I but, it is excellent size and beautiful model but one day my daughter left it in her backpack for only 2 days and it was so moldy, I tried to wash it several time and I couldn’t removed it so I ended up getting rid of that. It is kind of expensive so be careful with that

I have many Bentgo Chill products, where I pack lunches the evening before, and pop the ice pack in in the morning. I have found with the mini, without the ice pack underneath to hold the food tray in place, the tray will suction to the lid and the lunchbox cannot be opened. The only solution we have found is to use a spoon to break the suction, which is not the easiest to do. If you pack your lunch in the morning, this shouldn't be an issue for you.

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

I love how sleek this is! The adjustable divider is great, and the ice pack keeps it nice and chilly.
