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.

My daughter loves her new bookbag. She's in kindergarten and it's not like those small bags where you can't fit much inside. This bookbag is big enough to fit her folder, books and even her lunch bag when she doesn't feel like carrying it. Plus it has an extra zipper compartment in the front. I use the built in lunch bag for three things her purple unicorn lunch container, sometimes a pair of changing clothes, or my daughters snack so that she doesn't get it mixed up with lunch. You can actually use the bottom for whatever you want. My other daughter keeps her cosmetics bag in there.

I love the freezer pack that's included in the box. My kids love these and are so excited that they have been packing their own lunch using these boxes all week. Teachers love them because they don't have to help my 4 year old open a bunch of wrappers and such.

The compartments on this box are the perfect size to pack a toddler or a young child’s lunch or assortment of snacks when going out. That said, it is not the easiest kind of case to close. My son would certainly not be able to do it himself. Also, I think that the cooling layer causes some moisture and extra wetness to the food inside the case that is not entirely desirable.

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.

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.

It wasn't quite clear that the bottom is an included lunch box, and is not a storage pocket for a separate lunchbox. This backpack is a perfect size and works for my preschooler. But his life would be easier if the lunch box could just slide out of that pocket. I tried to go back and reread the description and look at pictures. But it's not clear from what I am seeing.

I love this lunch box! It keeps my son's lunch cool without needing to add additional freezer icepack. It comes with an extra tray that you put in the freezer overnight if you want to keep the food cold. The tray fits perfectly at the bottom and that's all you need. I love the sleek look and the fact that it's spill-proof is icing on the cake.

My boys were having trouble remembering to bring home their lunch boxes. I bought the bentgo backpack to help solve that problem and I couldn’t be happier. The backpack is comfortable, has plenty of space for school work, and the lunch bag part fits their bentgo lunch boxes plus an ice pack and extra snacks. We love it!

I really love this book bag for my daughter! She picked out the print and absolutely loves it. I find the attached lunchbox on the bottom so convenient so she doesn’t forget her lunchbox at school! I also really like the adjustable cup slot on the side so you can have different sized cups. The only thing that I’m upset with is that I didn’t get one for my other 3 kids.
