Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Kids Lunch Box

I am very happy with the lunchbox itself but dissatisfied with the monogram. It is only 3/4". I did not see dimensions on the order and thought it would be proportional.

Great lunchbox for my 4 year old. The plastic containers with dividers fit inside nicely. I put a small ice pack underneath it and it still zips easily. I like the outside zippered section for notes or an applesauce pouch.

The lunch box is great. The monogram we got however was the size of my pinky fingernail. It is so little and can barely be seen.

Colors are nice, easy to clean inside and seems sturdy. My sons is a little concerned that it's too small, but haven't had any issues fitting all of his lunch and snacks.

Great product just seems a lottle smaller than ones I've gotten in the past and I wish they jad colors to match all of the backpacks.

It is a good size for a lunch bag. It is very well-made. Unfortunately, it does not have an adjustable strap.

Much smaller than our usual lunchboxes for school, but fits upright in backpack so that kids can take to camp. Our reusable water bottle fits inside but leaves little room for anything else, so we leave it out.

Cute little lunch boxes, nothing special. We have enjoyed them so far!

Purchased a lunch box for each of my kids to replace the ones we have had for a long time

I really love the size and quality of this lunch bag. It fits perfectly in my backpack for school (16 laptop bag). My only suggestion is to allow the plastic inner portion to be removed to be cleaned separately.

It seems to insulate well enough. The outer pocket is unnecessary for our purposes.

It fits most food storage containers but can be a little tight if the container for a decent sized lunch is in there, especially with a cold pack.

I recently purchased 2 of these lunch boxes. I've purchased this LL bean lunch box before. My son is using my old one because he liked it as much as I do. The quality is great and the size is perfect for my needs. I also love the great color selection and free monogramming if you have an LL Bean Mastercard. Free shipping is always an added bonus on purchases.

My son loves it so far, it matches his backpack and is a simple design. It's much sturdier than previous ones that were only a few dollars cheaper. I wish it was just a little bigger to comfortably hold a water bottle and his lunch but it's OK. If I bought again I think I would go up to the expandable lunch box version of this.

This is a great lunchbox; however, I wish the inside would expand more. My son packs his lunch for school in this lunchbox, but is unable to fit two small containers with lids. He has to carry an extra bag with his lunch. He cannot fit his lunch and snacks in this lunchbox.

We purchased this lunchbox and matching backpack for our preschooler. We are frequent LL Bean shoppers, and felt confident that we would be getting great quality. Overall I'm very happy with the lunchbox. Our son likes using his Bentgo bento box And it's a perfect fit inside this. Although there is an a lot of extra room, there is enough space to put a couple of ice packs on top of the Bento box to keep things nice and cool. The green gator print is really cute! My only complaint is that the monogramming isn't the best. The V looks a bit crooked and overall the monogram is a bit thin/ sparse. Next time I will go with a different style monogram in the hopes that it looks a little nicer.

The lunch box is perfect size and durable for kids and adults. The monogram, however was way to small for the size of the lunch box.

Lunchbox is the perfect size. I also had it monogrammed and the only bad thing is the size of the monogram. Wish it could have been bigger

Keeps item temperatures consistent while moving from hot to cool environments. Zipper stays put and moves smooth. Inside and outside pockets are pretty tight. Good for a tea bag, spork, straw and thin items. Over time the netting does relax a little bit. Handle makes it easy to carry and pull out of a backpack. An added bonus, if soup leaks it appears to stay contained in the bag and rinses out under the faucet.

I cut the name tag off. It gets in the way of the zipper. I wrote my name in magic marker on the inside instead. Otherwise, very nice. Made well. I got the blue bag. Very pleased so far. Many sleeves for different things. I wish it was a little bit bigger though because it fills up fast.

This is a fine lunch box with plenty of room. The only draw back is the "if lost" tag is right next to the zipper. It keeps getting caught anytime we try to zip it closed. Its the only reason I gave it 4 stars. I'll have to cut it off so it won't get stuck, but now the name label is gone -- so let's hope it doesn't get lost. I probably won't repurchase this one next year unless the name label is moved away from the zipper.

Product is well made, water proof, seems rugged enough.

My granddaughter wanted this lunchbag but I would have liked one larger with a place for her water bottle.

Sturdy lunch box, with zippered mesh pockets to protect fragile items like cookies, etc. Would be five stars except it is too narrow to fit a standard sandwhich container along side a standard drink container. An additional 1 to 2 inches in width would make it much more versatile.

Our family has 2 of these lunch boxes, one that has survived 2 school years, and another that has survived 3 or 4..... From the product description, they don't look like they have changed much over the intervening years. The lunch boxes are designed to perfectly fit into the front pocket of LL Bean's backpacks (at least, the Deluxe size that a MS or HS kid uses).... although, it fits SO perfectly that the backpack zipper has trouble closing if the backpack is full and the lunchbox is extra-stuffed. The size is good, and we use the interior pocket for plasticware. (The only thing my son has ever put in the exterior zipper pocket is his school ID and a few coins, as it is very flat.) What I was hoping that LL Bean had improved was the interior liner..... The liner has folds at the corners, so it DOES catch crumbs and other nastiness. Also, although the liner wipes clean of most things, it will stain..... I put a little cinnamon & sugar on apple slices in the kids lunches, so that the apples don't discolor. Sometimes the juice leaks out, especially if the kids don't remember to close the containers tightly for the trip home.... As a result, my son's lunchbox liner is now a mottled tan color, as even soaking the lunchbox in dishwater for a few hours does not remove the cinnamon color. Also, over the years, plastic forks and corners of containers have poked holes in the liners. LL BEAN, IF YOU READ THESE REVIEWS, PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR LUNCHBOX LINERS! IT IS THE ONE THING THAT WOULD PREVENT ME FROM BUYING ANOTHER LL BEAN LUNCHBOX! I work in a school lunchroom, so I know other companies are beginning to sell creative solutions to this problem.... Please let the next one be LL Bean :)
