Bentgo Chill Kids Lunch Box review

The Bentgo Chill Kids Lunch Box solves the cold-lunch problem without a separate cooler bag. Bentgo builds a removable ice pack into the box: you freeze it overnight, slide it under the tray, and the company says it keeps food cool for hours. The tray has four compartments holding 3 1/3 cups in total, with an optional divider, so it fits more than the 2.4 cup Bentgo Kids Lunch Box. The design is airtight and leakproof, the latch is made for small hands, and the outer shell is rubberized against drops. The tray is microwave safe and top-rack dishwasher safe, but Bentgo recommends hand washing the shell and ice pack. Bentgo lists materials free of PFAS, BPA, vinyl, lead and PVC and recommends it for ages 3 and up. The tradeoff is weight: at 1.8 lbs it is the heaviest plastic box here. At $32.99 it costs $3 more than the standard Bentgo. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test it.
