Cooler for school: 5 reasons to send them prepared

A cooler for school can be a perfect way to ensure proper nutrition for little ones as they head back to school. It's also a very convenient way to know they'll have fresh food throughout the day, without having to buy anything on their own.

Today we're here to tell you the 5 reasons why a cooler for school is as essential as a backpack or books. And with many food carrier models to choose from!

1. Your children eat better thanks to their kids' cooler

Knowing what our children eat during the day is not always easy, as beyond a certain age, they might prefer to buy less healthy foods from cafeterias or vending machines. With a kids' cooler, you can prepare in advance (even better if they participate) a myriad of healthy, portable, and delicious recipes.

Furthermore, you have the option to better prepare foods for later consumption: peeling and chopping fruits and vegetables to eat fresh, adding sauces like yogurt sauce or essential olive oil, or simply including foods that need to maintain the cold chain, such as yogurts.

2. Kids' coolers are easy to clean

That's right: the waterproof lining makes them easy to clean, even if there's been an internal spill of liquid food. You can clean them with a little dish soap on a damp cloth on the inside and then remove it with another cloth dampened only with water. Or, at the end of the week, you can put the bag or kids' cooler in the washing machine.

3. Carrying a cooler to school is light and can be very attractive

Carrying a kids' cooler won't add extra weight for the little ones: they are comfortable and flexible fabric bags, specifically designed not to be a burden. Moreover, they are capable of keeping food at the appropriate temperature for long enough.

They also have pockets and compartments to store napkins, cutlery, hand sanitizer, or anything else the child might need at mealtime.

4. A kids' cooler is perfect for going back to school in warm climates

September is still a summer month, and even early October in some parts of our geography. So, having a portable and comfortable container to keep food at the right temperature becomes more important for health and food hygiene reasons.

5. A portable kids' cooler can help you save money

In a kids' cooler, with the help of appropriate lunchboxes or containers, you can store all kinds of food, including dinner leftovers. This prevents food waste and overspending on school canteens or pre-cooked meals (which usually contain more salt, sugars, and fats than home cooking).

Kids' cooler bags for younger children

We show you designs focused on younger children, with a size tailored to them and the ability to keep their food fresh and protected throughout the day:

• Igloo Lunch Animal Panda, Lion and Elephant insulated kids' bags: the most adorable insulated kids' bags in our catalog come with three attractive animal designs.
• Igloo Sandwich Keeper 8 Bit fabric cooler: perfect for carrying a sandwich, juice, or a piece of fruit and a small water bottle.

• Igloo Lunch Box Dinos: dinosaurs never go out of style, and this insulated kids' bag is good proof of that.

Insulated bags for slightly older children

• Our Igloo Wedge Lunch Birdie has a design as original as the previous insulated kids' cooler bags, but geared towards not-so-young children.

• The Lunch Bag Kids are perfect for carrying a sandwich or a single food container, for those who are always on the go. Plus, it's available in three patterns: starry, with sharks, and with a zebra-inspired animal print.

You've probably already found the insulated kids' cooler bag you were looking for, but if teenagers or pre-teens are going back to school, you might want to choose from more neutral or adult designs. For example, the Igloo Realtree Edge Campo Pack fabric cooler backpack, which will comfortably accompany them to extracurricular activities or sports practices that are part of their daily life. Or in a smaller capacity, the Igloo Bag It Tech, which is discreet and practical in equal measure.

We hope you find the perfect back-to-school solution: have everything ready for that important day!
