The Bentgo Chill is engineered specifically for maintaining cooler food temperatures without the need for an external insulated bag. It features a unique, removable gel-ice pack that fits directly under the food tray. The chassis is a multi-polymer build, using ABS plastic for the outer shell to provide high impact resistance and rubber-coated edges to help protect against drops. The internal tray is made of Food-Grade Polypropylene, which is both durable and lightweight.
Specifications show that the lid utilizes Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) for its seals, creating a hermetic barrier between compartments to prevent items like applesauce or yogurt from migrating. For the seal to function correctly, the ice pack must be frozen completely flat; any bulging can prevent the tray from seating properly. To maintain the integrity of the TPE, hand-washing the outer lid is recommended, as high heat can degrade the seal over time. Features include:
- Integrated, contoured gel ice pack for active cooling.
- High-impact ABS shell with protective rubber bumpers.
- Four-compartment layout tailored for children ages 3 to 7.
This container has a higher weight-to-volume ratio than standard boxes due to the ice pack. For parents who do not need active cooling every day, the standard Bentgo Kids box offers the same layout in a lighter package.
