You should be much more worried about the terrible education your kid is going to get in an ACPS school. Better to worry about having them having the what the other parents deign as the cool lunchbox.

Right! Save that money for private tutoring.

We use the combo of the pottery barn cold pack and the yumbox panino which fits inside perfectly. I didn’t like the pottery. Arm bento boxes (which don’t come with it anyways)

Coldpack fits the Bentgo kids. I was disappointed that they got rid of the shoulder strap. Myrising 4th liked the strap. Also useful to hang it up open to make sure it was dry. However my 2nd grader hated the strap.

The pottery barn lunchbox outlived our kids desire to use it. Our mistake getting butterflies in K.

Also, the Pottery Barn cold pack lunch box is good quality and big enough for a bento box.

This Lands End lunch box has held up really well the past few years for us. The sides are more flexible so can accommodate different size bento boxes.
