My girl loves her new backpack! Lots of sparkles ✨ easy fit, good space for early grades and the convenience of having the lunchbox combined right on the backpack is an absolute plus!!🙌🏻 less to carry and convenient! Highly recommended.

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.

A perfect, durable “lunch box” for my toddler. It makes it so easy to pack a healthy snack while we are out all morning or afternoon. Food stays cold for hours. I especially love the removable compartments to change the sizes of the boxes depending on what snacks we pack that day. I love the hard shell to throw in the car, bottom of the stroller, or even a backpack. It’s thin enough to fit easily anywhere along all the other stuff that comes with kids. Highly recommend purchasing a few of these!

Excellent quality and very well-made. Beautiful color choices. I wish it were easier to open and close for younger kids. I have a 6 year old grandchild who I bought this for uses this box and loves it however, she does have trouble that’s so much with opening, but in closing it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My son has had a smaller bentgo box for the past 3-4 years, but he's going to Jr high so I knew he was going to need a bigger lunch box! I was looking at the other larger capacity options, but went with the Go Max specifically because of the ice tray that it has. I would like the option to buy an extra ice tray for those days my son forgets to take care of it the night before, but the only extras available are for the smaller boxes. SN: this box is quite heavy when just the ice tray is in it, but it still fits in my sons lunch bag so it'll be fine.
