I was looking for a backpack for my son who was about to start his preschool. The main criteria was for it to be spacious, high quality, accommodate A4 folder and have a place on its side for a water bottle. This backpack meets all these criteria and even more. I love the idea of a build-in lunch bag! It’s super convenient!

These backpacks are great! So far they seem like they’re good quality. We’ll see as the time progresses, how they hold up. Purchased them to go along with the kids’ chill boxes. When we put the ice in the Bentgo Chill Box, it didn’t keep our kids’ food cold until lunchtime so figured we’d try these backpacks in combination. Perfect! We stick another ice pack on top of the Bentgo box inside the lunch box pocket and everything stays ice cold.

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.

It’s difficult to get the tray in and out to put the ice pack in. Which is a slight inconvenience and may get easier with time. The bigger issue is it’s pretty difficult to open and close for my 3 year old. Which leads to spilled and mixed food, defeating the purpose of buying a leak proof option, my 5 year old is capable of closing properly- so definitely possible just difficult for small hands

Super expensive yet the construction feels super flimsy like cheap plastic Easter eggs. The pieces have a hard time connecting together. It's possible to latch the box closed even though the cold pack insert and the food tray aren't connected perfectly, which means there is a gap for soft foods like yogurt or applesauce to spill out and make a huge mess. Would never buy again.

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 💗

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.

This backpack/lunchbox is well made. It is larger than my 4 year old granddaughter, but, she expects to wear it anyway. The lunchbox in the bottom holds the Bentgo Fresh box and a 12 Oz. pre-packaged drink. It also holds a 1.4 Oz. pouch of pop tart bites and a sandwich bag of Chex Mix, both laid out as flat as you can on top of the fresh box. The mesh pouch on the side of the backpack also holds a 14 oz. Munchkin brand Miracle 360 Sippy Cup. Perfect set-up for school necessities, change of clothes, lunch and snack!

My toddler uses it for his daycare lunches and it's perfect. Compact enough for him to lift, which he likes to do, as it makes him feel important. I like that the compartments are fully separated and you don't have to worry about food leaking under those movable walls that some other bento boxes have. It's also super easy to clean. Has held up nicely for us so far. Will purchase another. This is probably too small for a child who is more than 7 or 8 years old. I'll upgrade to a larger size then.

My daughter loves this backpack! It’s great quality. Love the front buckle. It sits comfortably on my daughter’s shoulders. The 2-in-1 feature is great because it’s less things my daughter has to carry and her Bentgo box fits perfectly inside. Definitely would recommend this bag.
