Skip Hop ZOO Lunch Bag review

The Skip Hop ZOO Lunch Bag is the cheapest way to send a cool lunch with a young child. Skip Hop, which sells through carters.com, lists a roomy insulated interior, a zip closure with a zipper pull, a clip-on handle that also attaches to backpacks and an interior mesh pocket for utensils or an ice pack. The bag measures 8.5 x 3.63 x 7.1 in., is made of polyester that wipes clean, and is designed for ages 3 and up. Skip Hop says it fits the Skip Hop Bento Box, sold separately, and it coordinates with the ZOO backpacks and snack cups. At $15.00 it costs a third of the Hydro Flask Kids Lunch Box. The limits are size and scope: it is a bag with no containers, it is smaller than the Hydro Flask, and the page labeled the $15.00 figure a sale price. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test it.
