Damn, you’re quick! Thanks so much! I’m sure my first grader will get the hang of it. I’ll hold off on getting one for my 3 1/2yo. Thanks again!

I haven’t tried it with a cold pack. I usually pack a sandwich, piece of fruit, some cheese cubes, raisins, that sort of thing.
It’s been about 3 weeks and many trips through the dishwasher, and the drink containers hold up great. No leaking. Actually, one did start to leak, and it was the one I mentioned in my original post – with the wonky lid. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement bottle almost immediately. And it’s working fine!
The stickers hold up fine in the dishwasher, if you apply them to nice flat areas. We had a few that the kids stuck over curves and stuff, and they haven’t held up as nicely, which was to be expected.
I think dropping it will be okay – imagine dropping Tupperware. It’s very much like that material. The only thing is, it’s HARD for little kids to get the lid on. Really hard. Like, impossible, pretty much. My 1st grade daughter can get it on well enough, meaning, the compartments aren’t all sealed up, but at least the compartment holding the drink bottle is sealed so the bottle doesn’t fall out. Usually, the “head” is flapping when she brings it home. My 1st grade son can’t get the lid on at all, but he has autism and has less patience with that sort of thing. His aide puts the lid on (about as well as my daughter does!) There really is a steep learning curve with that.

Thanks for posting this! I’m looking for user feedback before purchasing. Does it keep food cold enough with separate ice pack inside? How do stickers hold up with washing? How leakproof is the drink container over time? How tough is it when dropped, because it will be dropped? TIA for any insight!

Those are cool! I’m guessing my teenagers might not think so…but our 4th grader might like one. Awesome!

I am wanting to buy one of these but have serious concerns about how things can possibly stay cool without any insulation– thoughts??

Hmm, if I hid the stickers, would my husband think that they were for manly men like him? These look great!

I was hoping you’d be doing a review of them. I take your opinions more than those of the websites.
