This bag deserves so much credit for helping me survive a business trip! This was my personal item on a plane, carrying two lunchbox coolers of milk, extra pump parts, accessories, and my PISA. It was a breeze to pump in my seat with this bag, because my pump was all set up in one of the convenient side compartments and all my other items were inside the bag. The bag is HUGE, but not ridiculously, supid-looking huge. It's a "good" huge.

Zippers are great quality! Two zippers on each compartment, so you can close it while still leaving your pump cord out. The secret compartments can be pushed down, so if you don't need to store a pump, you can use the entire space of the bag. So, the bag will be very functional after my pumping days are done!

There's one zipper pocket inside the bag, one zipper pocket on the outside, and the two side pump compartments. A Medela PISA fits in either with room to throw in other stuff, like the power cord and extra battery pack. No compartment if you need to throw in a laptop, but all I needed was space for two lunchboxes, extra pump parts, and accessories. Another reviewer comments there wasn't a lot of "structure" to the bag, and I agree with that...but I really just needed a dedicated space for my pump and somewhere to store my milk coolers. This bag met and exceeded my expectations.

Set up / Tear down of pumping is so much easier because I leave my tubing and power cord attached to my pump...it's all safe in its compartment and any needed accessories are in the bag. Very easy to squeeze in quick pump sessions with everything so handy, and discreet in a nice looking bag! When I was on my business trip, it blended in with everyone else's work bag. I never felt like I stood out carrying it everywhere I went!

It is very obvious that the designer of this bag was a pumping mother.

This bag truly made my life easier while separated from my son. I also use this bag daily as my work bag, and will probably do so even when I'm done pumping, because it is a good, quality bag.

If you're no longer pumping, this bag would also be an excellent work bag, diaper bag, duffel bag, etc.

I'm almost at my initial goal of nursing for a year and bought this bag kind of late in the game. I wish I had got this earlier, had I known how much I'd enjoy it. I've been using this bag for almost two months now and have zero regrets about purchasing it. It is a wonderful bag and so worth the price I paid!

I bought this bag after looking for months for a bag that didn't scream - there's a pump in here - but one that also would do triple duty to house my laptop, work folders, lunch, pump, bottles - really taking my 4-5 bags down to maybe 2. My bag search needed to be big enough to house all these items (previous statement) but also I need the ability to wear it multiple ways, it had to be professional, it had to be easy-going (no tough executive leather), and it had to have multiple compartments. After months of searching and seeing this bag on TheBabyNYC reco list, I immediately purchased it to give it a try. I waited to write my review for a bit so I could fully test the bag to make sure it measured up to my needs and I'm happy to say it did! I actually get compliments on my bag and I can shove a lot of stuff in it. I do have one recommendation...incorporate a insulated pack that can be removed from the bag. For instance, I have a Medela Freestyle pump so since there's 2 sides of insulation in this bag (at the bottom) I put my pump on one side (this prevents being in a meeting and actually pulling out my pump for display - haha), then in the other insulated bag is where I put the medela bottles or bags and flanges . The issue is here...at my company we have mother rooms where we can pump and place our expressed milk in the fridge and pick it back up later or have it there for our next session. I've had to bring in an extra lunch bag to store my flanges/bottles in it throughout the day (our items need to be marked in a closed container of some sort). If you could easily 'unsnap' one of the insulated pockets, slide into the fridge, then at the end of the day, snap it back into the bag then it would exceed my needs (and probably others that may need to 'drop off' their fridge items). Also, by being able to put the insulated pack in the fridge (or if the pack had freezer/cold packs that could be removed/added) it could ensure that the milk would last longer if you were traveling.

Overall, I love this bag. Its durable, easy to wipe clean, cute and I love organization! Great job Sarah, kudos to you for answering my needs (and many others).

On a closing note, I purchased this bag when my littlest (last) baby was 11 months. I am no longer toting my pump to/from work, however I will continue to carry this bag. Its stylish enough and supports my needs that its now my 100% work bag and I use the insulated parts for my lunch/snacks. Tada!

I initially had a different pump bag and pretty much hated it after just trying to pack it. There weren't enough pockets, it was incredibly hard to be able to find anything in it and i couldn't fit it in my locker at work so I had to leave it sitting out. I decided I needed something different and better suited to my needs. Even though this one was a lot more money than I wanted to spend, I feel buying this bag was the right decision. Overall this is a great breast pump bag. It fits my spectra s2 perfectly in the large pocket along with the cord and tubes in there with it. My cooler bag doesn't really fit in the smaller pocket but that's not a big deal to me as I put it in the fridge at work anyway so I just close that pocket to make a little more space in the bag for my pump parts and other things. I will say I can't really add anything too bulky to the pockets though in order to be able to fit it in my locker at work. It does fit ok in the standard slim locker but the one ousting pocket does somewhat catch when trying to get it out and over time I'm wondering if it will snag too much and rip or break down the fabric. I do wish that maybe on the end with the smaller pocket, that the outside perhaps had a mesh outer pocket that I could carry my tumbler in but not a big deal, it would just make it a little easier to carry everything together. Overall a great bag, I would definitely buy again

I got this bag as a Christmas gift from my husband. I wanted a bag that I could use since I was driving from Florida to Virginia quite often and I wanted to have something specific for all of my pumping items. This bag is pretty good on its organizational pockets and sections. I like how you can have a spot for everything so you don't have to search for anything. What I don't like is how small the bag is. I have the Spectra S1 breast pump and I don't like that when I'm done pumping I have to turn the pump sideways to fit it in it's compartment and remove the hoses because there's not enough room to store it that way. It makes things hard for me when I'm driving and pumping that I need to either leave everything out for the next pumping session or stop and put everything away and stop to take everything out again for the next session. Also, the top compartment area is too small for me. I have a hands free pumping bra, small pumping bottles, 6 flanges (from Spectra) and they are bulky and they take up a lot of space which makes it hard to zip up the bag. The bag isn't heavy when it's empty but when you have everything in it, the bag is quite heavy and hard to carry when you need to carry other bags with you. I did take this bag with me to Japan and it held up really well except for the shoulder strap pad. The pad is removable by velcro and came off one too many times, so I just left it off.

I did also get the cooler and wet/dry bags too and I'll post a review on them too.

I've had this purse for about a month now, and here are my comments:

I needed a good pump bag for when I returned to work - one that fit not just the pump, but also all the accessories, my breastmilk cooler, spare parts, and my normal purse stuff. I chose this based on its features and positive reviews.

Pros:
"¢ It has insulated side compartments. This is convenient to keep the essentials easily accessible. I have the Ameda Purely Yours, and I manage to fit the pump, power cord, tubing, and hands free bra in the smaller pocket. I use the larger pocket to store the breast shields and an extra breastmilk bottle.
"¢ I like the long shoulder strap. This bag doubles as a diaper bag on the weekends. As such, I use the long shoulder strap to sling across the stroller handle.
"¢ I use the inside zippered pocket to hold extra tubing, pump diaphragms, and pump valves, along with miscellaneous personal items.
"¢ I use the outside zippered pocket to hold things I want handy - lip balm, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, hair ties, etc.
"¢ Size - it's a large bag, but that's to be expected for something in this service. It's large enough to hold purse essentials, pump and accessories, and then some.
"¢ Material - It's nothing fancy, but it's exactly what I was looking for. It easily wipes clean and looks nice. The purple on the inside is a nice touch.
"¢ I like the buttons on the side so that you can make the purse slightly smaller when needed.
"¢ I like the reversible zippers.

Things that can be improved:
"¢ I wish the shorter carrying straps were just a tad bit longer, so that I can slip it on to my shoulder more easily.
"¢ The zippers are plastic. Not a huge con, and to be fair the zippers seem sturdy, but at this price point, I would have liked something better than plastic.
"¢ I wish that the purse had a bit more structure. It's kinda "floppy", and with all my normal purse stuff thrown in there, it sometimes is difficult to find things.
"¢ The side buttons used to make the bag smaller are not that strong, and cannot be used if you use the long shoulder strap.

Overall, I'm happy with this purse. However, I did see that she came out with a new purse this year that has some of the changes that I wish this purse had. If that new purse was available at the time I needed to make my purchase, I probably would have purchased that new one. The only thing that I like better about the Lizzy purse is that it has the long shoulder strap (I don't think the new purse has that since it doubles as a backpack).
