"Cool Stuff" -- Mothering Magazine, July – Aug 2006

Ideal for anyone that packs a medium to large lunch with plenty of room for a sandwich, bottle and lots of space for goodies. The Cool Totes® lead-free insulated mini-backpack is the same size as the large lunch bag but comes with a backpack strap. The Mini Backpack is tested lead-free by the manufacturer, and combines high-quality insulation & a reusable freezer pack in a sustainable, thermal alternative to throwaway brown paper lunch bags & vinyl lunch boxes.

Thermo Tek™ insulation keeps contents cold for hours and is made of recycled plastic soda bottles, helping divert plastic from landfills. Non-toxic 8 oz reusable freezer pack sits in a separate interior pocket & stays cold 3X as long as regular ice with no watery mess. Velcro closure top keeps the bag sealed and the adjustable shoulder strap makes carrying simple.

    I bought this lunch bag in the frog print for my s

    by Anne S - 08/2008

    I bought this lunch bag in the frog print for my sister, who is a part-time teacher and mother of four. She loves it. She says it holds everything, stands up to frequent use, and cleans easily. The included cold pack is a great touch, according to her, and her kids (ages 6 to 12) actually think it's cool!

    This bag is great

    by jaye j - 01/2008

    This bag is great. My kids both have one and are on their second school year with the same ones. They have been washed in the washing machine countless number of times and are used every school day but still look brand new! The large size is quite roomy and even fits a medium size reusuable water bottle along w/sandwich, snacks and ice pack. Even the velcro closure has held up.

    by Corrie H - 10/2007

    the lunch bag is okay- not great. I ordered it for my 2 year old daughter for daycare. the straps don'r go small enough. The interior is a bit smaller than I had hoped but...overall its cute!

    by robin s - 10/2007

    I did not feel that the product was worth the price. The construction was poor. Lots of loose threads, the bobbin thread was a different color from the topstitching and shows through. The tension was not tight enough on the machine, so the stitching is loose. I believe that we all have a responsiblity to take care of the earth. I believe in capitalism, and the right to make a profit. I also believe that when you pay more for something, you should feel that you have gotten your money's worth. Otherwise, it seems that the company is merely profiting from a trend. If the advocates of global warming want the country to get more involved in living green, it has to become more cost effective for all.

    by jennifer P - 09/2007

    all product was great, except the cool totes backpack. the back strap broke within one day of my two year old wearing it. the stitching came undone. I would have sent it back, but a friend sewed it up for me. we will see how long it lasts. Love all my bags and the lunch box. thanks!

    This is a very attractive bag

    by Lori S - 09/2007

    This is a very attractive bag. We ordered the 'frogs' print. The size of the bag is great, too. It's large enough to hold an entire lunch without crushing anything. Yet, on the outside, it doesn't look any larger than any other school lunch bag you buy from any store. The backpack straps are a great idea, making it "hands free". Especially when taking snacks on field trips. The fact that its lead-free gives me peace of mind. In fact, we are planning on ordering another one to have an extra one on hand for other family members. It is definitely worth the cost.

    What a great way to recycle plastic bottles!

    by CAROL W - 09/2007

    What a great way to recycle plastic bottles! The bag is roomy & with the ice pak separated, everything stays dry as well as cool. Good size for a hike/day trip. Love the Dragonfly design.

    by Patricia C - 09/2007

    This rather large lunch bag goes to school every day with my kindergartener. It's bright and cheerful and will hold a lot of everything. Except that it doesn't have an outside pocket for a little steel water bottle, it's just about perfect.

    My son chose the frog design and loves it!

    by Jeanine R - 09/2007

    My son chose the frog design and loves it! He hasn't used it for school yet, but we use it for him to bring a snack and drink to the park. It is soft, comfortable to wear and fits his laptop lunch that we ordered from reusablebags. It has a nice pocket inside for the icepack, making sure the condensation from it won't make the inside of the bag wet. I love that he will use it for his lunch box and that we can also use it for outings. He doesn't mind wearing it, so it makes toting things around easier on me.

    Lunch bags were great

    by Leana o - 08/2007

    Lunch bags were great. The kids love them. My only thing was the ice packs after two days of use they tore open besides that I would recommend the lunch bags their is more room in the large bags compared to the tiny lunch bag in buy in a store.

    I just bought this for my son and we LOVE it

    by Yssa B - 08/2007

    I just bought this for my son and we LOVE it. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness of it. It's solidly made and well designed. Really a great product. I also like the inside and outside pocket, the draw string closure with the locking flap over it. closes up tight but still easy for little hands to open it. The fabric is good quality. It's also tall enough to hold a good sized thermos. Very happy with the purchase.

    I bought the happy frogs for my pre-school son

    by Judy S - 07/2007

    I bought the happy frogs for my pre-school son. He loves it and it has enough room to carry a thermos, small tupperware, etc. Its perfect for school or day trips. I liked it so much I purchased one for myself.

    This is a great tote

    by Angela M - 07/2007

    This is a great tote. The outside fabric is soft and pretty. The inside insulates well and the little chill pack keeps things cold all day long.
