The Bentgo is great, but unfortunately it does not fit my kids lunchbox.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi PaoR,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Lunch Box. We’re so glad you like the box itself, but we’re sorry to hear it doesn’t fit with your child’s lunch bag.

We’d love to help you find the best option for your child—please reach out to us at support@bentgo.com or 714-668-0300, and our team will be happy to assist you directly.
I was so glad to find a stainless-steel option for my kiddos! It is a bit of a tight fit inside a standard size kids' lunch bag and the top has to be situated juuust right for it to close. My kids haven't complained though. They love it!
These are wonderful. We have only ever used the bentgo chill but the thought of the plastic every day kind of started to get to me. These are larger but can fit in the same lunch box diagonally a bit and an ice pack under them and they're cold all day!
The boxes are a little sticky/hard to open and latch for small kids. I did love the overall look and feel of it and the sizes of the compartments.

Hi L M S, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Lunch Box. We’re glad to hear you love the design and compartment sizes, but we understand how tricky it can be if the latches feel a bit stiff for smaller hands. If you’d like, our team would be happy to walk through some tips or help find another Bentgo lunch box that might be a better fit for your needs. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@bentgo.com or call 714-668-0300. We’re here to help! Thank you, Jessica Bentgo Customer Support
This is great. Researched a lot of options but came back to this one and glad I did. A lot of people complained about the latch. I agree it is tricky but once you learn the “trick” it’s fine. Not sure if it will last over time, we’ve only had them a few weeks. My 8 year old can manage the latch no problem, 5 yr old has trouble. Love the stainless, no plastic, no leakage from one container to another, dishwasher safe, flat profile, food cup sizes and total volume. Those features are perfect for my kids.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great lunchbox for kids

The only containers we use! Not thrilled that the paint peeled off even though they are dishwasher safe, but doesn’t negate the product’s usefulness. They certainly last! My son is on year 3 of one of his!
We need replacement silicone inserts, though. My daughter has thrown out both of hers by accident.
