The lunch bags aren't huge - but they are very well insulated, adorable ad unique. I pack my daughter's lunch with ice packs since they aren't refrigerated during the day and when the bags come home the ice packs are still partially frozen - 8 hours later! The tiger is the largest bag and the panda is the smallest. The tiger or dog can fit a large sippy cup standing up - the others are best for older kids that bring juice boxes to school.

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.

I bought a few of these lunch bags to give out as gifts, and they were definately a big hit! Everyone loved them they were very compact when rolled up (for wrapping purposes- and probably storage purposes too), and they were super adorable when they were zipped up onto their shapes. As a teacher, I see a lot of lunch bags. These bags seemed a little less "sturdy" than many of the other bags out there, but if you're not worried about them lasting for am extended period of time, they will be fun while they last.

I bought this to carry snacks & milk for my daughter, to take to the care giver's. Must say I was disappointed with it. First, it is quite small, so with a couple of containers for her snacks (yoghurt, fruit compote, muffins, etc.) there is no room for much else. Second, the make is quite flimsy. The zipper broke the first week we used it, and we are afraid that it's going to give any moment. The other stuff I have from Built NY are quite well-made, so it must be the cute design compromsing the quality. Pity.

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 gave these for my child's birthday party and all the children and parents loved them! No more junk to take home.

My daughter is in 1/2day Kindergarten, which means a 5minute snack. These bags are the perfect size for a snack(in a snack sack) and her (reusable) water bottle. It fits in her backpack no problem, and keeps her apples cool! Her friends love the bunny design too!

I bought a dog one and a tiger one a couple of weeks ago and won't be using them. They are small, flimsy and it was nearly impossible to use the zipper. I can't imagine my son figuring this thing out! I got them for his soon to be preschool but the zipper is too impossible! Don't waste your money!

The bags are super cute - but the Pink and Green ones are smaller than the other two, making it impossible to fit a normal size bottle of water in the bag; the Yellow and White ones fit much more stuff. I have all four and alternate between two girls, and differnt sized lunches. The idea to unzip the entire bag is good for easy clean-out, but isn't really used otherwise. It would be great if there were a little pouch for a spoon, vitamins, or a note on the inside or out. If clips (such as the ones used for mountain climbing) were included, this bag would be easy to attach to a bookbag, or for cliiping a sport bottle. Some of the shapes make it difficult to fit into small spaces when full (the Green bunny for example has a triangle shape). I haven't heard any complaints from the kids about the insulation of the bag - but it seems a little thin to me.

I use this lunchbox every day. I orginally purchased it so I could stay a kid at heart! but now I am thankful for its practical uses. It is lightweight and durable and easy to clean. The colors are vibrant and it was very inexpensive. Overall great lunch box! (one complaint, after a while I feel like it might need to be replaced because it is so lightweight--but Ill cross that bridge when I come to it)

My daughter has now used her dog lunch bag for a year at school and it has been excellent - perfect size, lightweight & extremely easy to clean because it unzips flat and can be wiped. I've been through lots of lunchboxes/bags and this is the best:-)

Very cute bag. Worked for my 4-year-old for just about the whole school year, but the "fabric" on the handle is wearing away as the school year closes. It's (black/white dog) probably only suitable for younger kids, as there's not much room (we typically fit 3 very small containers plus an ice pack). That being said, very cute as long as you only expect to get one season out of it.

My kids LOVE these lunch bags. After 1 month of use, they're starting to look a bit beat-up, though, and the outide stiching has begun to come apart a bit on one of them. They're still fundamentally sound, and I predict we'll keep using them until they fall apart.

These are great bags...my daughter loves them. They are unique, fun, and well-made. We've only had to replace one so far, and that was after a full year's use. So these are well worth the money. The various bag shapes make zippers a little tricky for very young children (my daughter had a little trouble when she was 3 years old), but with a bit of practice it shouldn't be a problem.
