I bought my daughter a Bentgo Kids Chill back in August based on all the amazing reviews. Let me say, I’m not sure it’s worth all the hype. The food stays room temperature (or cool-ish when you include the freeze pack) and the seals are not that great, compartments leak into one another.

This is a nice backpack. Design is attractive. Bottom storage didn’t work out because items would fall out or items crushed since kids did not always use lunch container. Although, it was a smart innovative way of saving kids/parents energy of looking for additional lunch bag, it didn’t work out well for me. I recommend another alternative for insulated section either on top or in front separate compartment. This is a photo after it has been used. Held up pretty well.

I bought the Bentgo Chill box for my preschooler. We used it a few times with the inner ice pack on some outings and picnics, and the food inside did NOT stay chilled. The ice pack is a thin piece of plastic that you freeze, not a true ice pack. I also found that it was impossible for my 3 year old to close with the ice pack inside. So we have been using it without the inner ice pack for school and I put a real ice pack in his lunch box on top of the bentgo box. I must say though, I do like the set up of this bentgo box better than the other (non chill) kids bentgo box. It holds plenty of food for my 3 year old for lunch (although we pack a separate morning snack). For older kids, you might want to find something larger. He has been able to close the box without the icepack on his own after some practice at home. I would recommend putting the bentgo box inside a soft lunch box because there have been a few occasions that he did not snap it close completely, and some food or liquid did spill out. Putting in another soft lunch box protected his backpack and stuff from getting covered in food. I recommend this box if you can find a good deal. But I would not purchase it just for the "chill" aspect, because you will be disappointed.

We bought this book bag for our daughters in 1st grade and 3rd grade. They are so happy with their new book bag. The bag material is sturdy and good material. I love the convenience of having the lunch box on the bottom. The kids already have so much things to carry. Making their life a bit more convenient it’s worth it.

I love the joyful colors and design. It’s bigger than I thought for my current needs but the extra space will certainly become essential as my almost 3 year old needs to haul more things. I just got it so can’t say but the fabric feels and seems easy to clean. The lunch box compartment fits more than a the lunchbox (utensils, a whole apple?) My kid gasped when she saw it (so cute) She approves. Oh and lots of pockets inside (essential)

We purchased this in August for our children and it has handled well under heavy use. We use this every day with our kids. It has suitable compartments for veggies, fruits, a snack and a larger portioned compartment for a main course. We use these for lunches and they’ve held up quite well!

We bought 2 of these when our kids started a new school and needed to start taking their lunches each day. We love the build in ice pack! We did have an issue with one of them not closing but I contacted support and they replaced it without issue. Would def. recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bentgo Kids Chill is very high quality, super durable for little kids. It is perfect for their little hands and easy for them to open/close. It has rubber on edges to help keep it from getting scratched up or cracked if dropped. I love that it has the secure locking lid, the little compartments for foods, and the ice pack tray too. The trays are microwave and dishwasher safe, that is a major plus for me. Makes caring for it that much easier. It is spill proof and fits right in the back pack nice too. I would definitely recommend any parent to get this for their kids. It makes packing a lunch super easy with the portion control little compartments and ice pack tray built in already (ice pack tray is removeable though).

I am completely in love with this Bentgo lunch container. My favorite aspect of the container is the freezable pack that slides in under the container to keep the food cold and fresh. This is so much easier for us than ice packs and individual containers. The portion sizes within the tray are perfect. The container seals perfectly and never leaks . My children will use these through elementary and middle school years. Thank you, Bentgo!

This backpack is excellent! It looks exactly as advertised, and it's clearly made from quality materials including the zippers judging by its feel and how it holds up at school in the hands of my toddler. WHAT I LOVE: - The dedicated lunchbox compartment is really nice. It even has a zippered mesh pocket inside where you can slip your ice packs, and it has an insulated lining! - The stretchy water bottle sleeve is convenient. - The optional companion products with matching print are very cool and worth buying in my opinion! You can see in the photos the other items that I bought: the ice packs, the water bottle, and the stainless steel bento lunchbox (which IS heavy as reviewers mention but also will last forever I think). - Customer service is great! The silicone handle on the matching water bottle tore somehow and they sent me a new one right away. WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING: - Pay attention to the dimensions. I think it offers plenty of space and it's perfect for my toddler. However, if you're looking for an extra large backpack for your teenager to carry all of their textbooks, binders, and tablet, this is probably not for you I'm guessing. - Not really a big deal at all but I noticed that the side mesh pocket feels a little close to the bottom zipper. Sometimes I'm worried it will snag there. So far so good, so probably just a very minor concern. OVERALL OPINION: Worth buying. I can see why it has good reviews. Love it!
