Is it safe to put ice packs in between the liner and the bag? or should I just put them inside the liner?

I would recommend not putting it between the liner and bag. There's no way to stop the moisture from building and leaking out. The contents in your cooler will stay cool to cold pending on hours and 12 hours still keeps things cool. I hope this helps you out.

I haven't tried it between the liner. I use those Coleman ice coolers and everything stays cold for 12 hours plus easy. It might work though. Good luck!

You can put the ice pack any where you want - inside the liner, on the top, inside the food compartment - it doesn't matter. It's a great product.

There is a soft shell I insulated lining in the bottom like any other soft side cooler. I used both ice and freezer packs and there was no leaking. I like using freezer packs best since it not only gives more room it ensures no water leakage.

If it's frozen she can bring the liner And u can put it in the bottle. Either way works. I loved this system. Most economical and time saving method

I guess it depends how big the milk bags are. But when I traveled it was a 7 hour trip and I pumped and stored my milk in the cooler. I was cold when I got to my destination. As long as the blue pack is frozen, anything you put in there will stay cold. Hope this was helpful.

I haven't done that because I have a fridge at work to keep my lunch cool. I would probably try using those ice packs to keep your stuff cool versus ice...I have used them before and it keeps my stuff cool all day.

This bag's lining is plastic. The normal condensation from cold items and ice packs has never leaked. I have never used loose ice in it, but I suspect that meltwater would eventually leak through the stitching--but why would one use loose ice?

I guess you could, but once you remove the ice cubes to put your food inside, i am sure it will lose it coolness regardless within several hours. The bag is meant to be frozen by folding it up without placing any contents in it. For me any insulated lunch pack will work just as well with a ice pack. What I do is the night before I place a bottle of water in the freezer, about 3/4 of the way full as use that as my ice pack, and then when it melts I have a nice cold drink of water, the alternative is much cheaper than this bag.

Hi. I have never tried to keep the ice pack in the cooler bag for more than 7 hrs. So im really not sure how to answer your question. I really doubt though, that the ice can last that long

Sorry. Pushed send too soon. If you freeze the bag ahead then pack it as you head to he airport, you should be fine. Carey it onboard. In 5-6 hours it should remain cool.

I use the ice packs in a insulated lunch bag & it keeps my drinks & food cold but I don't think it would keep ice cream cold enough so it wouldn't melt. My ice packs in the my closed lunch bag is melted after 8hrs.

The ice pack sits on supports in the middle of the box and the small boxes sit on the ice pack. However, if you lose the ice pack like a pleb (I did...) the small boxes will squish whats in the bottom. One option then is to make a support, the same size as the ice pack, out of cardboard and wrap it in plastic wrap. One other thing to consider is the ice pack will not keep your ice cream frozen or your yogurt cold, it will keep the top of your bottom food and the bottom of your top food cold. This is however enough to keep your veggies crisp and keep your sushi a little chilled so it doesn't stick to your fingers. All and all I like this box and would recommend the purchase.

YES! FREEZE or place ice packs in the refrigerator. They work a lot better that way!

I've never tried to put ice in this bag. I purchased some of those container coolers. I wish the bag had thicker insulation though.

I've done it before without problems. Well, yes, but the only problem was I froze the whole bag (90-ish % full) and it didn't melt in my pack until I got home from a day hike. In the future I'll freeze only 50% full and top off with cold water before I leave. :-)

I don't fill this bag with ice nor do I recommend. It has a zip out liner yet it has give to it so to dry it out daily would be a bother. I only dump ice into a cooler when it's a hard case cooler for canned or bottled beverages. Unsure of your needs...but I recommend that if you'll be putting food in the cooler (and not necessarily beverages only) that you use a Thermos ice mat ($1.49) on the bottom of the cooler, pack it AND use the Mueller ice bag ($6.49) placed on top of the packed food. I ALMOST guarantee you'll have an ice cube or two left in the ice bag after 24 hrs!! We, in the airline business use this method often. It's much easier to clean. We pack our food in plastic containers and ziplock baggies with zero concern for water logging our food.

I have only used a cold pack with this cooler, so I'm not sure how ice would fare. I think if the ice were placed in a resealable baggie, then placed in the backpack, it would not leak.

Either would work. We freeze them. However, the cold packs are a bit on the "cheapy" side. The bag itself is insulated and does a good job of keeping insulin at room temperature for hours, even outside on a hot day.
