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.

My children had a non ice pack model that lasted for 3 years and was used daily. We purchased these for this school year. It is difficult to close and open. My first grader was able to independently open and close the other model and now she has to ask for help daily. Not the independence I want to foster. I appreciate that the ice pack can be reused, but I wouldn’t purchase again…especially for the price.

Wish I had just purchased another one of your regular boxes instead of the Chill. The weight difference is more substantial than I expected in my kid's backpack, and I think the sections are actually more useful in the regular box. (But we shall see - I haven't needed to use the ice pack yet so this may be a critical advantage sometimes!) But overall, absolutely in love with my Bentgo boxes -- they're the perfect size and really do a fantastic job keeping the sections from spilling into each other.

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.

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

Pros: Great size, it really is leak proof, and it looks great, good quality material. Cons: the box is a little heavier than I thought, and after 4 hours in a park with the box under the stroller the grapes were not cold anymore. I’ll try putting the box inside an insulated bag and see if it’ll help.

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.

Love the freezer pack that goes in it and the size of the compartments. Only thing I don't like is that the top does open all the way and lay flat. Kids like to eat their left overs on the way home and its hard in the car because it tips backward when they are trying to eat.

This is perfect for my kids’ school lunches. I even plan on using them during the summer. We’ll just make them up in the morning and we can eat it during the day when we get hungry. I got one for each kid and myself. Will be easy to just grab it and take it to the park. It’s not super big but I add an almond milk box and a nut bar and then it’s enough food for one person. I really like the freezer trey that keeps the food cold although I still add an ice pack to the lunch box to keep the drinks cold.

This is the perfect back to school backpack! It has all the necessary pouches and compartments to keep school supplies organized but the bentgo zip compartment on the bottom of the pack is GENIUS. No longer does the lunch have to be packed sideways in the main compartment, all the food can stay in its place and to top it off, there’s a compartment for an “I ice pack” to keep the lunch cool on hot days. I’m SO happy with this purchase and my daughter loves the design too 💗
