Has anyone used one of these for a 12 pack of beverages and ice? Did it hold up well in that situation?

I have not. Not sure what the total sheer weight the bag can hold. Top rack it with cooler to be safe.

I don't think this will hold a 12 pack of bottles. Maybe if its a 12 pack of cans. I usually take the cans or bottles out of the case and use a towel or other cloth item to cushion the beverages. I've never put ice in with the beverages, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would get pretty heavy though.

A lot if no one is sitting next to you or in either seat. I've used it for just a beer float. Put two plastic containers in each seat, loaded up with ice and beer. If you're sitting in it with your best beer drinkin' bro or girlie, then the middle cooler will definitely hold a 6-pack with ice. More if you don't need any ice. Have fun!!

My boys usually use them when they go fishing or hiking for the day. They haven't used ice packs, only ice in ziplock bags. This keeps their drinks cold for probably 6 hours or so. I would imagine ice packs would last longer. I bought one for each of my three sons. They all really like the convenience of this cooler.

I personally don't think it works well for any type of beverage. It just can't hold temperatures below 50 and that's only at the lower shelf. Higher shelves were much warmer. Also, this specific model was cheaper at costco and sams club (only $140 or so)

I have never made ice in it. The compartment for frozen items is pretty small, so if it's a small tv dinner it would work. However, I would plan on using it that day. The refrigator it's self is perfect for what I use it for, at work; cold drinks, yogurts, pudding cups, ect... It keeps things very cold. As far as, the frozen stuff....I haven't had a need to use it in that way.

I have been using my insulated lunch box with a reuse able ice pack in it. It has worked great so far. The bags don't leak and don't take up a whole bunch of space. I pump at lunch so the food leaves and the bags go in.

It would hold the bottles just fine but it would depend on what type of ice packs you used. I have an ice pack that is flexible that I use and it works great! If you had a big, bulky one, it might not work well.

I have used all kinds of ice cubes in mind, it looks like it will not hold up but has done a wonderful job so far!!

No I do not believe it would hold ice without leaking. I usually use freezer packs to keep the contents cold.

Yes I have. Used the basket for ice and bottom shelf for paper plates cups, etc.

depends on how much ice you like. We put 9 in there and then load down with ice. The cooler is not to heavy then. You could fit 12 but there would not be enough room for ice.

I did not use ice packs. I froze bottles of water. I would leave around seven in the morning and the water was still mostly frozen at three and four in the afternoon. I do not know how long an ice pack would last but it would be at least as long as in any other bag of this type. I would recommend this bag to anyone. It is a good quality cooler.

I have not used mine yet to test it out however they appear to be well made but i dont know if i would trust it to hold ice without leaking though.

Thanks for shopping this item. Here are several comments on this product: The cooler is made to keep your drinks chilled well over 12 hours. Another user says: I'm not sure but I used it starting at 5pm on a very warm evening and there was still some ice in it the next morning. It kept the drinks really cool and everyone loved it and wanted one! :) Another user says: If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer....Hope this helps with your decision making....OOME

I use it with ice packs most of the time. I also used it with ice that was contained in a Ziploc freezer bag so I never had a problem with leaking.

It could be used that way, but it would not hold a lot with ice and it runs the risk of leaking, as other users have mentioned. I have not had any leaking issues though!

I've used this product a couple of times and I've used ice each time with no problems. The ice that I've used are the crescent shaped ones tho. Haven't tried with regular block ice but I think it may be strong enough for that.
