Design & Functionality
Built has once again created an innovative product that is both functional & great-looking - like any design it's in essence functional art. Not just for kids! Appealing to anyone that's looking for a truly unique, functional lunch bag. Zipper placement allows you to unzip the entire lunchbox and lie it flat for an instant placemat.
Materials
Made from polypropylene, a food-safe & washable plastic, Munchlers are sturdy enough to hold and protect food. This smart material is lightweight & compressible - even though it's thin it has excellent thermal qualities.
Sustainability
Built Munchlers are made to last and designed to be reused over and over again. Using them can help eliminate thousands of throwaway lunch bags over the course of their lifetime.

Solving the ice-pack problem
These bags are small if you need to use an ice pack - but I freeze small yoghurts or yoghurt pops and omit the ice packs in my kids' lunches. The yoghurt keeps the rest of the lunch cool and it has the consistency of an ice-cream desert by the time lunchtime rolls around.

wonderful for toddlers!
My 3-year old has been using one of these every day for almost a year and it has held up extremely well. We have the dog bag, which holds a good-size toddler lunch - sandwich or bagel, small yogurt, and a container with fruit or apple sauce. The inside is much more durable than those insulated lunch sacks with the silver vinyl linings that always seem to rip after a few months of use. This one shows no signs of wear!

So fierce and cute
My son loves his lion case. I put it inside the Mimi pink floral backpack to make an insulated pouch which means I can carry it and have both hands free to help my developmentally delayed 3 year walk into school. My son loves to play with the lion face, it keeps him entertained as well as any toy when we take him to a restaurant. Since we usually have to carry some specific food for him it means one less thing to carry because it does a practical and fun double duty

Cute Novelty Product
This is a nice product for occasional use, but I would say it is not durable enough for long term every day use. The insulation is thin (like a thin hot/cold bag) and the zipper is a little awkward to close at times because it winds around the shape of the animal face. If an ice pack is used, there's not much room for food. The bag can lie flat (sort of) if you need a clean surface to eat off in a pinch and it's easy to wipe clean. My daughter enjoys the Panda face and carrying it around so I think it's a great novelty product, but if you're looking for an everyday lunch bag I don't think this is the best option.

Great kids lunch box
This is the second time I have bought these lunch boxes. My kids love them because they are so cute. They are the perfect size for a childs lunch. I like that they unfold to a flat surface for a place mat, storage or cleaning.

My kids & I love these lunch bags. They are small, light & easy to clean + their cute appearance makes them endearing. I was stunned to learn that they are using lead in children's lunchboxes these days & was looking for a good alternative to those I found in stores. I have been happy with these as they are reasonably priced and have held up well to the abuses dished out by my 1st grader & kindergartener. I recently bought 2 more to use as snack bags. They are a good size for a small child's lunch and will hold an ice pack, sm drink & food.

Insulated Medium Kids Lunch Bags
These are adorable. Have had them on my Wish List for some time and was pleased to see the price drop. Haven't had them tested by my two year olds yet.

Love...
Absolutely love this product. My son has been using it for nearly a year. It's still in near perfect condition. The zipper isn't the best but it's definitely worth the money. My son is 3 and has been pretty tough on this bag and it's withstanded being dragged up and down stairs. I bought the dog one. It seems to fit plenty inside (although I do not put a drink in the bag).

Less than perfect zipper...
It's a really neat design and my son gets compliments on it constantly, and the idea of being able to open it up is great so that it's easy to clean, the problem is the zipper is pretty bad. When I first got it, the zipper took like 15 minutes to get all the way around, and just when opening and closing sometimes it gets stuck or doesn't close as it zips... can be really frustrating.

We've tried all four animals, and my kids love them. They're particularly taken with the little autobiograpical cards that come with each bag. They're lightweight and easy to use. They're not terribly sturdy, though. The interior lining has begun to peel away on one bag after a half-year's daily use. A zipper broke on another. They're also hard to clean, and they get a little stinky.

I ordered this Medium sized lunch bag to pack my son's snack in to take to kindergarten. He loves it! I think it's the perfect size for a snack, however if using for a lunch bag it might be a bit small. I love that it keeps the items cold & my son loves that it's a tiger! (: The shipping took longer than I had hoped, but overall I am very happy with this product! Sincerely, A. Harper Wilmington, NC

I bought two insulated Munchers lunch boxes (a tiger and a dog) to replace the one that I had purchased about 18 months earlier. I had to replace the previous lunch box because the zipper had stopped working. My son loves these lunch boxes, and I love how they unzip to lay flat, giving him a clean service to eat on. I will continue to use these lunch boxes as long as the zipper works, and my son likes them. He is in the 3rd grade and loves that his lunch is zero waste. I just wish the zippers were a bit more heavy duty.
