Chill Leak-Proof Lunchbox

My kid picked this out for his kindergarten year. It took some work to figure out opening and closing it on his own, and at first, he'd sometimes not get it closed back all the way, which created a mess if he had leftovers. More importantly, the ice pack doesn't stay cold nearly long enough to keep everything cool for very long, which could be an issue if you have a later lunch or aren't storing it in a very cool place in the meantime. It would also be nice if there was a carrying bag available for this; it's kind of slippery and difficult for little hands to carry to the lunch room, especially along with a water bottle. We found a small tote bag that worked fine, but having bags made to fit (and maybe to coordinate with the colors or collabs) would be helpful. All that said, the basic usability of being able to separate out his lunch items was great, and being able to toss the insert in the dishwasher was super helpful. We got a 2 pack, but ended up putting the 2nd box away, as we usually run the dishwasher every other day, and the spare ice pack came in handy when we forgot to unpack his lunch box the night before. At the price it was, he'll be using them again this year, but if I had it to do over again, I'd just get the regular bento box and use separate ice packs.

We love our Chill box... Bentgo, could you please PLEASE make a Chill in stainless steel???? That would be perfect. I don't want to choose between the food safety aspect of keeping my child's lunch cold, and the plastic-free safety aspect of stainless steel. In the meantime, I would recommend this lunchbox to anyone. Thank you :)

I got 2 of these last year for my girls for school, and we absolutely loved them. Only issue was about halfway through the school year they stopped sealing correctly and the fruit juice from one compartment started to make their sandwiches/chips soggy. We love the freezable trays though!

We just started attending a daycare that requires us to pack a lunch, and they do not have cold storage for the lunches. These have been perfect! We can send it and feel confident that his food will stay at an appropriate temperature until lunch time. The compartments are a great size and keep everything separated. Bonus that he also likes to pretend the outer piece is his laptop when it’s not being used for his lunch. I wish they would make it in the snake pattern too! The pic is one my husband packed; he thinks our 4 year old eats as much as a grown man.

We have used this at the pool several times. My 3-yr old grand child loves it! She would take it to the lawn chair, spread out her blanket, open her box, and stretch out eating and watching the people in the pool. Sadly, she looks to grown up doing this (LOL). Freeze tray is great for short, hot outings.
