First impression of this lunchbox was that it was really cute and well made. I love the quilted pattern. It doesn’t feel cheap at all. The sides are thick and the material feels nice, zipper is sturdy, it doesn’t feel as if it would break easily. It has handles attached made of the same material as the main body and comes with an extra strap you can wear on your shoulders as well.
It’s definitely roomy- I stuffed it with a portable salad bowl and another lunch box plus a yogurt and large ice pack and it all fit. I always have to pack my kids a ton of food (they’re somehow always starving) so fitting a lot is important to me.
The drawback here is that the sides are open to the air, it isn’t able to be fully zippered shut. This is ok if you’re taking food out for a picnic or will be eating it soon but if you need it to stay cold all day this wouldn’t work. To test it, I used it myself at home. I packed a yogurt, a sandwich and 2 ice packs at 7am and opened it to eat at noon. The food wasn’t super cold but it was cool enough for me to eat without being grossed out. I was surprised it kept as cold as it did, truly. I’d be comfortable sending my kids to school with this. Not with anything that needs to be very cold (the yogurt for instance, maybe not the best for it) but it’s definitely adequate to keep things cool. However, if it closed all the way, it would be a non-issue. Most likely I will be using this one to bring snacks with me for my toddler and send my bigger kids with fully closable lunch boxes… although my 12 year old girl may have something to say about this as she loves how it looks 😂
All in all- well made, super spacious, very stylish, not the most effective at keeping things super cold but it gets the job done, especially if you don’t need it to be cold all day.
