If I'm traveling and staying at a hotel is this ice pack able to be put in the fridge if I dont have a freezer? Will it still keep the milk cold?

If you put it into the fridge it would still keep the milk cold just not as long as if it was frozen.

HI! It is good for travelling, it does keep the milk cold, and fits in the hotel mini freezers. However during my first work trip with it on the return flight TSA confiscated the ice pack since it was not frozen (the freezer was not that good) and "they could not confirm what was inside". There was no issues with the milk. For my recent trip, I was not willing to loose another one (I bought a replacement) , hence I took one of those ice packs that look like bags. This time I had no issue at all through TSA. The bag was a almost forzen this time, still they did not mention anything about it. Hope I helped!!! HI!

Yes. The box, the bottle label, and the package insert all say to refrigerate it. That means for storage. Having it unrefrigerated during shipping is not a big deal, and you don't need to worry about it when you take it with you on travel. It's not going to be ruined like milk if it's unrefrigerated for a few days.

Yes it can, but it won't get as cold as it would if it was 110 power ....so it won't freeze anything but it will keep milk and drinks cold ....

about 6 hours. I put the ice pack in the bottom, in the zipper part. It would stay cold longer it it was actually in with the food. I am not a huge fan of the compartment style.

Wouldn't use the product for cold storage for a weekend. Tight fit for even one persons foodstufs. Good for an overnight. I use mine on the road as I'm traveling and restock it as needed. It works great if you place a frozen bottle of water with your other goods. At the end of a long trip I find the frozen bottle still frozen and all the other food and drink cold as when I started. I like the product very much

I personally use an artificial ice pack (Nordic Ice) and keep it in an insulated lunch bag with a little newspaper covering it. Then if your motel or hotel has a freezer in a room refrigerator just refreeze it. Otherwise it will last a couple of days easy.

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.

Youshould get 18-24 hours of cold from these ice packs. When travelling I usually re-froze my packs over nights. Even in the hotels I stayed in I was able to request a refrigerator that kept the packs cold enough to use the next day,all day. Hope this helped.

Yes. If it is plugged in, it is a cool as a fridge. If unplugged overnight, have ice packs in the cooler and a blanket on top of the lid for insulation and your food will stay cold and fresh for the next day. If concerned, put a thermometer in it.

No...no ice pack so I called n they gave me the answer that it is refrigerated until shipped...but I live in the desert ...Also sat in my outside mailbox for a day....bottom line its better if u buy at store...

No, it won't hold ice without leaking. It does stay chilled with ice/cold packs.

It depends on how long you will be leaving the frozen items in the car. I live in a hot humid area and it takes me 20 min to get home from the store I have not used an ice pack and the cooler does a great job. If I have other stops to make I throw one in just in case. This bag so far does a great job keeping cold things cold even ice cream for at least 20-30 minutes no icepak

I typically put 3 cold bottles of breast milk in along with 3 ice packs (the one that the bag comes with along w/two other block ice packs), and since my daycare doesn't have room in the fridge, the milk stays in the cooler all day. By the end of my 8 hour shift, the milk is still chilled. It may not be absolutely cold, but it is definitely still above room temperature.

I took it to work with an ice pack in it and it kept my food very cold. I didn't put it in the fridge, just kept it at my desk. Worked well.

I agree with the other 2 ladies' answers. I don't use any ice packs or such with this. Love love love this!!!

I have used the tote without a nice pack for groceries if I have a stop or 2 before getting home, but otherwise I believe this or any other cooler would need some type of ice pack to truly keep the food cold. It is an awesome cooler tote...this and another Rachel Ray tote are the best I've owned. Highly recommend it.

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
