BUILT NY Munchler Lunch Bag - Benny (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

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.

I got this lunch bag for my friend's son, who I take care of. It holds a good amount of food. He is only in preschool and doesn't require a full lunch yet, but I can fit a water bottle, fruit cup, and half a sandwich, with room to spare. It looks very durable, and it is nicely insulated. I can't comment on the placemat feature, because he does not use it, but he does love his lunch bag!

I likes this product, it's very cute. It looks just like the picture, the zippers seem sturdy. I bought it to be used as a bag to hold my grnadsons iXL and asst'd accessories and it works very well for that. The size is compact and it has little backpack straps. As a lunchbag, it's a little small, would work well for snacks. It's also not insulated very well, so keep that in mind.

I bought this lunchbag to bring my lunch/dinner to college- no refrigerators or lockers- just my backpack. It was larger capacity than I anticipated- I can fit a smallish tupperware, a small iceblock, an apple, and a bit more. Keeps everything pretty cool. The stitching may not be terribly secure, but since I'm not putting any real stress on it, I think it will hold up for a long while. I would recommend this product. If you don't mind the silly face, the price is pretty unbeatable.

I bought this for my toddler son's lunches, and although it's perfect for what we need, I think it might be a little too small for elementary school-plus lunches. It's easy to clean and we've already gotten compliments on how cute it is, but I wanted to warn other parents about the size.It fits a small lunchable, juice box and bag of apple slices(plus a small ice pack). Hope that helps!!
