My Favorite Cooler Bags As a New Mom
This might seem silly, but I thought it might be helpful to those of you trying to figure out what cooler bags you might need for those first few years of your little ones lives. Sharing my three favorite (and most used) cooler bags for traveling with a toddler, whether you’re gonna be out of your house for a few hours or a few days:
I used this bag the most when Mackenzie was using bottles. We used Dr. Brown bottles & I was able to fit two of them plus a thin ice pack. I still use this bag sometimes to carry Mackenzie’s straw cups & water bottle. I actually used this quite a bit for swimming because I was able to pack an oxo tot straw cup plus her bento box for snack (I did have to put the bento box on it’s side, but it never leaked).
This bag comes in many cute patterns!
We got this bag as a gift & I love it! It came personalized with Mackenzie’s name on it and it makes a great gift. This is a short square insulated cooler bag. I’m able to fit Mackenzie’s small bento box I mentioned above plus her oxo straw cup or water bottle. If I want to just throw snacks in it, I can fit quite a bit.
I bought this insulated bag for travel and it’s been great. When we went to Florida Mackenzie was 11 months old and still drinking formula so I wanted a bag that I could fit her bottles in plus whatever else we need like a formula dispenser & her snacks. I still use it for our weekend trips up to Vermont because I can fit a lot in it. Mainly I use it now to pack her straw cups, plates, bowls, utensils, & snacks in.
