This works great to send to preschool with my child.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the concept-hate the mold

I’ve been using this lunch box for my one year old daycare box and took care to clean it the minute he came home. Black mold still developed on the silicone seals and I can’t find any way to get it off. I’ve tried vinegar and bleach. So disappointing!
The ice pack doesn’t keep the food cold long enough. My daughter goes to school at 7:30 and when she comes home at 2:00 her box is room temp and she says it’s not cold at lunch time. Seems like it should last longer!

My 8yo was so excited to take this to school. I, too, was equally as excited as no more spillage!

Does NOT chill.. but maybe better this way.

I bought the Bentgo Chill box for my preschooler. We used it a few times with the inner ice pack on some outings and picnics, and the food inside did NOT stay chilled. The ice pack is a thin piece of plastic that you freeze, not a true ice pack. I also found that it was impossible for my 3 year old to close with the ice pack inside. So we have been using it without the inner ice pack for school and I put a real ice pack in his lunch box on top of the bentgo box. I must say though, I do like the set up of this bentgo box better than the other (non chill) kids bentgo box. It holds plenty of food for my 3 year old for lunch (although we pack a separate morning snack). For older kids, you might want to find something larger. He has been able to close the box without the icepack on his own after some practice at home. I would recommend putting the bentgo box inside a soft lunch box because there have been a few occasions that he did not snap it close completely, and some food or liquid did spill out. Putting in another soft lunch box protected his backpack and stuff from getting covered in food. I recommend this box if you can find a good deal. But I would not purchase it just for the "chill" aspect, because you will be disappointed.
My daughter loves this for school and it is so nice that you don't have to pack a lunch box with an ice pack. It seems to be well made and easy for her to use. The built in ice pack lasts long enough to get her through school.
This is our go to box out of all our Bentgo boxes. Love the sleek look. So convenient to have a built in removable ice pack. Keeps food cool up until lunch time. Easy opening even our 2 year old is able to open it by themselves. Durable after many drops it remains intact. Can't get enough of this lunchbox.
