The chill lunch box is okay. Don’t expect the freezer part of the box to keep things cold for long. I had to order a lunch bag and flat ice packs to make sure it keeps cold. The Bentgo flat ice packs are amazing! They’re still ice cold 7 hours later when my kid gets home from school. The only problem I have now is his backpack(not the bentgo one) is getting wet from the condensation.

My new 9th-grader didn't want to take a traditional lunch box to school this year, so I searched online and found this one. We originally didn't consider it because it's a "kids" box, but the adult version offered does not have the removable freezer tray, which she needed to keep certain things cold. So we went back to the Kids Chill and chose the gray color, which toned down the "kid" factor. Upon arrival, it doesn't look like a kids box at all - it's very stylish. It does get a little heavy with the freezer tray in, but that's to be expected. Still way more compact than a lunch box. Only complaint is when she put yogurt in one of the compartments, it leaked over into the neighboring compartments; not a biggie but we won't be putting anything that liquid-y in again. Overall great product, especially for the price!

I purchased this backpack for my kindergartener so she wouldn't have to keep track of a lunchbox plus her bookbak. The big issue I have with this backpack is that the interior compartment is too short to hold a regular size school folder! That's a big miss.

The shape seems much bigger at the bottom; it is weird. Folders/notebooks are squeezed at the top, fit fine on the bottom. The elastic drawstring to snug the side pocket came completely detached on 1 out of the 3 I purchased. I hope my seamstress can fix that. The inability to order the bottle I want because it matches the bag + lunchbox purchased without ordering another bottle that I don't is annoying af. Seriously. If my kids didn't like their look and matchy-ness so much, I would've returned them. I certainly won't be recommending or buying again.

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.

Great for my kindergartener! The bottom lunch holder area takes away from the book bag depth. But she can still carry her home folder back and forth. It can get heavy, since she is in aftercare and takes lunch and snacks. We also go the bento lunchbox too, in hindsight I probably need a separate lunch box for the bentgo and her snacks. We are making it work.

My kindergartener has only used the bag for 14 school days and the water bottle elastic broke. She doesn’t carry much in her bag since she gets school lunch, just her folder, snack, and her water bottle. She cried when she realized it was broken. I expected better quality for the cost. So far the rest of the bag seems fine but who knows what the next 14 days will bring.

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.

Love it. Love the design. Very durable and easy to use. Only wish it could fit a sandwich. Even if i cut up a sandwich, it still doesn't fit. Not a deal breaker though. I use dinner rolls for sandwiches instead. It fits 2 of them nicely :) highly recommend buying a bentgo chill lunch box!

Really well made and appreciate all the pockets. Wish the bottom cooler portion fit the matching lunch box, not just the bentogo bento box alone, but the backpack is roomy enough that my daughter can fit the matching insulated lunch box into the large pocket of the backpack and uses the bottom insulated pocket for her snack. We really like this backpack!
