Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Kids Lunch Box

I take this lunch box to work everyday. LL Bean needs to add more depth to it. You can barely fit a reusable lunch container in it. I just wish LL Bean made this lunch box more salad-friendly vs sandwich friendly.

I use these for my kids, who are pre-school aged. Its perfect for them, fits a small water bottle and a few food containers. There's a slide pocket on the inside for an ice pack or utensils. The slide pocket on the outside is narrow, it can only fit napkins or utensils; it would be more useful with a gusset. The interior material is really easy to clean, the liner has no seams or corner to catch crud. Overall, its well designed and well made, but small. I would only recommend this for kids.

We purchased this in August and my son has taken it to school everyday. It still looks great and is wearing well. We do not use the outside pocket so I cannot speak to some of the reviews that state that pocket is flimsy. My only complaint is that this lunch box is not very deep. If you use a sandwich case or even put in a drink bottle, those items are about as deep as the lunch box itself. Even 1/2 in more would be good. This being so narrow is the only reason we won't purchase the same ones for our other children.

The lunchbox is well made but I wish it had the hard plastic insert to help keep its shape when filling it

I bought this lunchbox to replace my son's broken LL Bean lunchbox - the last model lasted 9 years. My only complaint is that it's a little small, particularly if you pack reusable containers. The outside pocket is perfect for a couple of items that my son needs to have with him at lunch time.

The lunch bag is smaller than expected. A small food thermos can be squeezed into the bag. Quality is less than expected for LLBean and the price point.

Smaller than i realized Also could use a zipper pocket to store cold pack. But it is well made.

Wish this terrific bag was just a little bit bigger so I could fit in my kiddos bento boxes. I had my kindergartener's initials placed on hers when I ordered so sadly can't return it. Had to buy a whole new bento that she'll outgrow in a year because it's so small.

3 stars for quality. But it is just so small. It's not bad bag but just wasn't right for our needs.

This is a great little lunch box. Perfect size for what I bring. I do wish the sides were more rigid. I find often that the box has flattened down and my sandwich is also flat.

Smaller than i thought it would be. Wish it had a shoulder strap. Barely holds my 2 drinks, ice pack and snack.

I purchased this lunch box, Guide Gold Crag color/style, for when I occasionally want to take a snack, drink and small ice pack. Lunch box is OK, but it needs a shoulder strap or belt to make it easy to carry. Luckily I used Bean Bucks toward this so only paid $5 of real money!

Small and looks like a kid's lunch bag (or an adult's toiletries bag).

I have have three of these lunch boxes half a school year and I am not impressed. I use the yum box lunch containers (those are great) and occasionally a plastic fork or spoon but there are holes poked all over the inside and small slices. What's more, the white interior stains easily and shows a lot of wear and tear. I'll use these until they are no longer functional but will not buy again. Three star because the outside is great. It's made of the same fabric as the backpacks, also a great product. Just a hard pass on the lunch boxes.

Meh....good quality material and daughter loves the lilac purple color but size and function are just average (sandwich container and small thermos do not fit side by side). For the price, if I were not already ordering a backpack, I would have skipped this purchase.

We went to the store in Freeport, ME while on vacation. We had this lunchbox monogrammed and shipped back home. It arrived a week later and the lunchbox itself is great but the monogramming they did at the store is horrible. I reached out to customer service and they only offered me a refund if I shipped it back, I could take it back to the store to have them redo it (not an option since we are hundreds of miles away) or they could redo the monogram but only with 3 initials and not with the full name. Very disappointed in the quality of the monogram.

Just bought with a deluxe bag and is Still being used, only time will tell on the quality.

Not my favorite so far. No place for drink outside the lunchbox (no mesh cup holder). My grandson uses a bento box which fills the lunchbox and leaves no room for a drink container. It's also very early for a review as he has been using it for only a week.

Too small. Cute but not quite big enough for school lunches.

The material was a little disappointing, I thought for L.L. Bean and the price it was a little thin. The monogramming was absolutely terrible. It was very tiny, and it was off-center.

Just got my grandson's lunchbox, very disappointed in the monogram which is not the same as the nicely filled out lettering we've had in the past - there has been a redigitizing of the font, resulting in thin block lettering, vs. the bolder block previously. It doesn't stand out! Please talk to your monogram designers! (also, why doesn't the 'lime' thread match the lime shark color?)

It's definitely smaller than I thought but it's my fault for not paying more attention to the dimensions. However a Bentgo will fit but with nothing else

Too small for lunch, bottle of water and snack never mind ice pack. If you're packing a snack for a toddler it would work. Needs long strap to carry. Quality not what I would expect from LL Bean. Would not recommend

A little narrow and shorter, then what i wanted. But will make do. Extra 2 iches both ways would of been perfect.

The lunch box itself is great but don't waste your money on the monogram; it's minuscule and not worth the $8.
