Medela PISA messenger bag?

[agm04]

Does anyone have/like/hate?  It's on zulily today for $48 (comes with the bag, 2 shields, 2 connectors and tubing, cooler, ice pack, valves and membranes) and the one I get through insurance doesn't come with a bag.  Seems like a decent deal since it has the other stuff, but does the bag suck?  I've found minimal reviews on amazon.  Thanks!

I don't think it comes with a separate compartment for the pump. It's just a bag but it does have those accessories, so it's up to you to decide if it's worth it. I bought an accessory set that was on clearance at Target and I was sad to find out that the shields were permanently attached to the connectors so I couldn't use them with a pumping bra. These look to be the same.

Oh thank  you, that's good to know.  I'm going to skip it then.  I'll just look for a bag on my own.

I got the one without the bag because it was so much cheaper with my insurance, plus the bag seemed larger than necessary. I was given so many bags (both regular tote bags and insulated bags) from the hospital and from a maternity fair that I went to while I was pregnant, that I have everything I need. In fact, I have never used a drop of formula, but I use a bag that they gave me in the hospital that was full of sample formula to put my pump in, and similac ice packs I got a maternity fair to pack with my breast milk in a small insulated bag,which I also got from the maternity fair.

The bag is huge and doesn't zip closed. So it easily opens if you bend the wrong way!

I use a freebie zip top bag. I think it's a reusable grocery bag actually.
