The FlowFly Kids Mini Cooler is a lightweight thermal tote designed for daily school transit. It utilizes 600D polyester for the outer shell, providing a standard level of abrasion resistance and water-repellent qualities for everyday use. The insulation is provided by a 5mm layer of closed-cell foam, which is effective for maintaining temperatures for a 4 to 6-hour window when a small ice pack is included.
Inside, the bag is lined with food-grade PEVA, a material that is BPA-free and stays flexible even in colder weather. The bag is dimensioned to accommodate popular tray-style lunch containers, such as the Bentgo Kids series. It features SBS brand zippers, which are tested for higher-than-average use cycles, though the zipper is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.
The internal mesh pocket is a convenient spot for napkins or snacks, but it is best to avoid overloading it with heavy items. To help the liner last longer, users should store sharp utensils in the exterior zippered pocket instead of inside with the PEVA material. The soft-sided design means the bag is very light, weighing approximately 0.5 lbs, but it does not provide a rigid shield against heavy objects that might be placed on it.
Practical Tips
- Store metal forks and spoons in the front pocket to prevent accidental punctures to the interior lining.
- Use for lunch periods that occur within 6 hours of packing for the best thermal results.
- The top handle is reinforced, making it a reliable point for carrying even when the bag is full.
For an alternative with a more minimalist, solid-color look for adults or teens, the FlowFly Heather Grey Mini Cooler is a professional option.
