I've seen a few reviews that say this lunchbox and bag are heavy, even empty. Is it true that the bag and box are 2.5 pounds? Thanks~!

The box is heavier than your average lunch box, because it's made of stainless steel, and it's made to be durable. But, it's not too heavy for a child to carry around. Adding food doesn't add very much to the weight. We went with it because I wanted to avoid plastic (durability, safety of materials, etc.) and I was surprised at first by the weight, but it didn't bother my son. He's been using it since he was 4, he's 6 now. Edit: I forgot to say, there are also a few different sizes, this is a big one.

2.5 pounds sounds excessive. It's not light, but it doesn't seem overwhelmingly heavy, either. I love ours and it's really easy for my 3 year-old toddler to use -- and the compartments make it easy to make lunch. It's sometimes a bummer that it's made of metal and can't be microwaved, but for the most part, we love ours.

It is a bit heavy, the drink can add significant weight depending on what type of container and size you use, but that would be true no matter the bag. My kids are elementary school aged and put the lunch in their backpack. It is heavier than I would prefer but my kids don't seemed bothered by it. It's a good, durable box, easy to clean (or put through the dishwasher) and not made from plastic, which have been more important to us than the weight of the box.

My son carried it in his backpack last year and this year he doesn't need a backpack, so he uses the strap and carries is on his shoulder. He never complained about it being to heavy, he's 12 years old and about 96lbs. That might make a difference.

No it weighs more then 2.5 lbs. I'm honestly not sure what the 2.5 is for but it definitely isn't weight. I've put this topper on my bed many times (flipping it and such) and it is very heavy. It's definitely worth it. I'd buy it again and again. I've had it for a long time and it's still amazing. Good luck, sorry if I wasn't able to answer your question properly.

yes..its about a pound...maybe just alittle more. But its very light and my five yr old can carry it herself.

hmm I don't know specifically because I am at home but I would say 1 to maybe 2 lb. It's really light and I didn't notice any significant weight impact on my bag.

When I took it out of the box, I remarked that it was lightweight. I just weighed it on my postal scale and it is 2.8 lbs. Hope that helps.

My bag says 5lbs but it seemed light so I weighed it and it is 4lbs 12-3//8 ounces. I have added a product photo and i am returning the product.

The weight of the bag is pretty light...maybe one pound. I highly recommend this bag!

I don't know how much it actually weighs, but it is very light. I've had many backpacks and this one is by far the lightest. It is surprisingly roomy for it's size. It can easily swallow my 15in laptop, a notebook, my lunchbox, fruit and a 500 page novel with room to spare. There are inner compartments to keep things nice and tidy. Everything seems very sturdy - I have had it over a year without any problems. I plan on buying another one for whenever this one falls apart. But based on its current track record, I think it is going to be a long time. The only thing it is lacking is an external bottle pouch ... though that may take away from it's slim profile.

I haven't actually put it on a scale but I'm a pretty good judge of weights and 3 lb. (4lb. at the most) is what it feels like to me. A compact carrying bag is included in the deal. Haven't inflated it yet as it is a Christmas present.

I've got mine full of stuff now. But upon receiving it, it was very light. I don't think it could have been any more than a couple pounds, simply off of a guess having not held it empty in a couple of months.

To me it is very light weight. This is the 40-inch bag which holds alot. If you are putting it in a backpack, it probably weighs a pound to 1.3 pounds, empty.

Not really.... It's under 10 pounds I believe... I tried to put it on my scale but it was too light for any numbers to show up. It feels like 5 to seven pounds...

I weighed mine on the scale I purchased from the USPS. It weighed 4 lbs 5 oz or 2 kg.

I just finished the bag of dates I brought from sincerely nuts, the bag says it is 2 pounds, I did not weigh the bag when I received it so cant say 100% that there were in fact 2 pounds of dates. Judging by the size of the bag my guess would be that there were 2 pounds. I also just received my 5 pound bag of apricots from sincerely nuts and it does weigh out at 5 pounds.

Hi David, Thanks for the question, the bag is actually 37.2 ounces which when converted to pounds equals 2.3 Lbs. Hope that helps :)

I ordered the 2.5 pound not knowing that what I really needed at 5'6" would be around 4 pounds. The 2.5 pound weight seems feather light with no weight at all - wish I had ordered a heavier weight initially.

completely empty it is actually quite lite. i don't have a scale in my house, but my sister bought me another diaper bag from tokidoki which is all polyester as well and that one actually feels slightly heavier. on the tokidoki site it says it is 2 lbs, while the skip hop bag is 1.9 lbs. hope that helps.
