BUILT NY Munchler Lunch Bag

I was misled by a lot of the reviews here. I don't understand why people would say this is too small for a kid's lunch. The reviews made me think this was small enough to stuff in a large purse, but it's not. I was surprised when I received it. It's definitely large and stuffable. It fits my son's Thermos Funtainer, a whole sandwich, an apple, a banana, and you can put cookies or crackers in a Ziplock bag and it will still fit. If that's not enough for your kid, two cereal bars will fit with the rest of the above.

I would like to think that should be good enough for a school aged kid.

My 4 year old loves Benny, and that it opens all the way up to become a place mat at his school, but it's very small for a kid sized lunch and after just a few weeks of admittedly stuffing it (tuperware lunch, drink and fruit is all) the seams are ripping. It won't last.

Perhaps if it had been a bit bigger or your just using it for snacks.

This is wipable. The inside is reflective material to keep things cold or hot. My son loves it!

If you are looking at this for an older child's lunch, not sure it would work. You definitely will not fit a thermos in there. It can hold a juice box, sandwich and addn'l item.

I bought two Bennys for my twin preschoolers and a Boo for my 7-year-old daughter. All were huge hits. The Bennys we received were a little different from the one pictured slightly less cute but slightly more functional, so I'd say it was a positive change overall. Basically, they are a bit larger than the one shown, and have backpack straps, which make them much easier for little guys to carry around. We get compliments on them every time people see the boys wearing them into school.

The Boo is exactly as pictured, and my daughter and her friends all love it.

In response to the criticisms from other buyers:

According to the packaging, the materials are all lead-free.

It's true that the bags are not particularly thick or sturdy, but about what I would expect for the price, and they wipe clean more easily than most other lunchbags we've gone through over the years, and the insulation is better than you would think for the weight and thickness.

Some complained that the zippers stuck, but in my experience almost all zippered lunch bags begin to stick after a while; we've had no problem with these ones so far.

While I can certainly see how the way these zip down all the way and then zip back up could be confusing for some, there is really no need to use this feature. We usually just unzip the top to get food in and out.

For those who found these too small to hold their kid's food, I wonder which one they bought (and how much their kid eats!), because we have had no trouble. The Benny can hold a large, insulated sippy cup, a sandwich tupperware, a fruit, a yogurt, and two small snack tupperwares, as that's what I pack for my preschoolers each day. The Boo is a bit smaller, but still plenty big enough for an elementary schooler, since they tend to use juice boxes or milk bottles rather than bulky sippy cups. I have no idea, though, how big the other characters are.

All in all, we've been very happy with these, and would definitely recommend them to others.
