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.

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 daughter was given one of these as a gift and we loved it so much we bought more! They are a great size for kids and close securely so they can be bounced around in a backpack with no problem. My kids love getting a little variety tray for their lunch and it makes it super easy for the daycare teachers!

I like the back pack but the lunch box on the bottom isn’t really why we bought it.. I find it wouldn’t be that useful as a lunch bag bc the target age of the child and most schools need a separate bag. We use it to send extra clothes or as an extra pouch. Also if it was slightly larger at the top it would be better for folders.. our 7 yo twins really like the designs as does our 3 yo and the matching lunch bag we ordered separately. If it had an option to attach a separate lunch bag that would be good. We do really like the lunch box and lunch bag. I especially like that the lunch bag comes with a water bottle holder on the side.

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.

It is a beautiful backpack . It came exactly as shown . The material is nice snd I love the pockets on this inside. But it is not large I’m enough for my daughters belongings since It has the bottom portion for her bento. We have had to buy another lunch kit and back pack . So unfortunately it’s was a waste.

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.

This backpack has worked well as a diaper bag for my one year old! She needs a packed lunch for daycare, and her bentgo box fits perfectly in the bottom- with an ice pack! Her teachers always know where to find her things. I can keep her organized, so they aren’t fishing around her bag for her lunchbox. It also leaves plenty of room for bottles and changes of clothes in the top portion. I’m confident this bag will last her I still preschool!

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.

We love our Bentgo Chill lunch boxes. We have 4! And two of the snack containers. They hold up so well to my two rough and tumble kiddos. We use them for school, picnics, road trips and more. I recommend them to all my friends. If you’re hesitant on the price tag know it’s worth it. You don’t have to replace these constantly like cheaper brands. They are well built and worth every dollar.
