From the sandbox to the splash pad Bentgo Chill makes my favorite leak-proof snack and lunch containers and ice packs to use as a nanny working with kids in the summer. No crushed crackers, no spilled berries, and plenty of cool food with no regrets. See why summer outings are smoother with Bentgo products in my favorite nanny bag.

For nannies on the go during the summer, the Bentgo Chill Mini Leak-Proof Container is a snack-time game changer. Its built-in removable ice pack keeps fruit, cheese, yogurt, and other healthy snacks cool for hours without the hassle of carrying separate ice packs. The compact size fits easily into a nanny bag, while the leak-proof design helps prevent messy spills during park outings, playground adventures, and trips to the pool. I especially love that it keeps snacks fresh on hot days, making it easy to offer kids nutritious, chilled options wherever our summer adventures take us.

This is perfect lunchbox for children aged 3- to 7-years-old that need a lunch for summer camp, trips to the zoo, or beach this summer. I love that this Bentgo Chill lunchbox has 4 separate compartments to easily pack fruits, veggies, sandwiches, and even healthy dips.
Bentgo Chill Max for Nanny and Ages 8+

The Bentgo Chill Max is great for adult caregivers and children 8+ because it fits 5 cups of a full sandwich or entrée plus two sides. The removable divider is great for 3 or 4 customizable compartments.

Bentgo Buddies Slim Ice Packs are simple, but essential addition to any nanny’s lunch bag. Their slim design fits easily into lunch boxes, snack bags, and coolers without taking up valuable space. They stay cold for hours, helping keep kids’ snacks, drinks, and lunches fresh during summer outings, park trips, and beach days. Lightweight, reusable, and durable, these adorable, colorful ice packs make it easy for nannies to keep healthy food safely chilled while on the go. Bentgo Buddies come in many appealing shapes and colors for children including: unicorns, dinosaurs, fairies, trucks and more. Or you can purchase more generic gray or blue rectangle ice packs if you prefer.
