Sugarbooger Classic Lunch Sack, Hoot

This is the second Sugarbooger lunch sack I have bought on Amazon. The first one has worked out so well that I just bought this cute monster one for my son to take with him to preschool. It is laminated so it is easy to wipe down inside and out. We load ours with a stainless steel eco-lunchbox stacker (which fits perfectly) or a Foogo Thermos and maybe a granola bar or a piece of fruit. I'm pretty sure it will also fit Lunchbots or most rectangular food containers and bentos. It holds more than enough food, is easy to carry and clean, and comes in super cute prints. The only thing it lacks (and why I'm not awarding it five stars) is an exterior pocket or mesh to put a water bottle in. If only it had a place for a water bottle it would be darn near perfect for the price!

I bought this bag when my daughter was a newborn. She didn't have to go to daycare until almost 5 months old so I didn't know what to expect when she did go. If I could, I would've looked for a larger bag for her milk, as I need to pack 3 8oz bottles and they barely fit in the bag. These days I manage to squeeze those 3 bottles in there, along with her two jars of baby food & spoon. It fits, but the flap doesn't stay in its triangular shape of course. It barely reaches the velcro to seal shut. It doesn't work well for what I need to use it for now, but am giving it 4 stars since it probably would be great as the lunch bag it is designed for. The bag quality, ease of cleaning the material and style are great.

I purchased two of these for my kids. Within a month or so I started noticing discoloration on a bottom corner. I didn't think much of it as it just looked like a small water stain. In the next few weeks the stain gradually grew bigger and turned black. Eeeeek. Black mold on the lunch bag? I called the manufacturer and told the call center rep that I had mold on my lunch bags. I also told her that I cleaned it according to manufacturer instructions. The lady was very friendly and told me, that if anything spilled or if you had lots of condensed water on a cold drinking bottle, the liquid would/could enter through the inside seams and ends up trapped between the silver inner liner and the laminated canvas outer shell. The laminated outer shell prevents the spill from drying which results in mold in between the layers. She also mentioned that this was not dangerous for the kids (yeah right) but she offered to replace both of my children's lunch sacks for free. I was told to be more careful with the replacements and to always make sure to put a few layers of paper towel in the bottom to help absorb possible spills and prevent moisture from getting into the stitching again. I received my new lunch sacks and did EXACTLY as I was told. I wiped the bag with a damp wet cloth if something spilled and replaced my paper towel liner daily! It's been two month now and again I'm am starting to see the mold spread in between the layers on both kids lunch sacks. This is ridiculous. This is disgusting, this is not made for children, this is unsanitary and most of all this is a complete waste of money

I ordered this to match my son's Sugarbooger retro robot backpack and had his name monogrammed on both in brown. (The ID card pocket had to be removed before the lunchbag could be monogrammed, but that was done at the monogram shop and didn't cost anything extra). We have really enjoyed the set. The lunchbag is coated on the outside and lined on the inside so that both are easliy wiped clean. I've actually rinsed mine several times with my sink sprayer and it faired just fine. It's extremely durable and just the right size to fit everything we need for a meal out including a drink and utensils. It is insulated and keeps things cool for several hours, though I always include a little icepack. The pattern is so unique and looks vintage without the hazards of actually being old. I've gotten lots of compliments on these products and even had a friend order one after she saw mine!

I got these to replace two Mimi the Sardine bags which were great but finally died after four years of daily use. Since Mimi bags have fabrics that are better for younger kids, I decided to go with the Sugarbooger bags this time. I'm so glad I did! They are roomy enough for a big lunch, including ice pack, sandwich, apple, yogurt tube, snack bar, juice box/pouch, and more. Fits a small container fine and would hold a small water bottle too. Clean-up is super easy and I haven't had any trouble with mold, like other reviews mentioned. The velcro closure is strong, the food stays cold and the handle is sturdy, plus the ultimate test: my kids love them!

Does what it says on the tin. Haven't had any of the mold issues others have reported, and I end up leaving cold packs and their condensation in the bag all the time. The weirdest annoyance is that the hook side of the velcro is on the flap, not the body of the bag, so unless you tuck the flap into the bag after opening, it catches on your wrist or sleeves. Not a dealbreaker, and the bag is super-cute, but still an obnoxious design flaw.

I love the sugar booger line of products. I bought my son the backpack and lunchbox in the retro robot print. I love using the lunch bag, though it is a bit small which doesn't always make it the most practical bag to go to for a normal outing. When we're out for the day I usually pack 3 bottles and a couple snacks or baby food packages. I can't really fit more than 1 bottle and a snack in there or I can't close it. When my son gets a bit bigger and the bottles stop coming with us everywhere I think the size will be perfect. I love that it is laminated. The bag is super easy to clean on the inside and out. I would buy all of the prints if I could because they are just sooo cute.
