how packable is this... need to find a manual pump to take with me on business travel?

Taken apart it would easily fit in my medium sized handbag. It is pretty small

Very packable, I would say. Sorry I overlooked this email inquiry and response is so late.

It can be packed since it deflates. I had trouble with an air leak on one of the components. It comes with a repair kit. I eventually stopped using it because it was hot/sweaty since it's plastic. Still, since I can't sleep lying flat, it was a decent option if I didn't have anything else.

Good evening I would like to start by saying we sell hundreds of Madella pumps a year and to be honest with you they are basically all the exact same motor. The only difference usually is the style of the bag. Typically the insurance companies will give you the not a stylish brown lunchbox style tote or the one listed above with the cooler. The ones the people are typically purchasing now are the metro bag which is more stylish and looks like a large diaper bag and serve the dual purpose of diaper bag as well as pump but does not look like a pokey hospital style pump What's also convenient about the metro bag is that the pump is in its own little lunch bag style size told that is removable and you can use it for portable pumping in your home your vehicle or wherever you choose to pump without having to carry large awkward tote looks like a big beach cooler. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us if you're looking for a stylish pump we have many in stock somewhere listed and some are not yet listed. Thank you very much the baby Depot

Hi, In my own opinion I would not find it too suitable for travel. You may want a lighter, smaller one.

Its lightweight and wouldn't be difficult to pack. It has a plug, if they let you plug it in, I suppose you could.

No; it's a very decent sized single. You will certainly need a manual pump or better still an electric pump to inflate though!

You can travel with this. It is shipped in a box, but the items are packed in bags so you can put it in your carry on. I have all of them saved in one ziploc bag. Hope this helps.

Carry-on has never been a problem for me. Traveled to Las Vegas last week and had my insulin pump in my Frio pump pouch, no questions about the pouch. Also brought my larger FRIO pouch with vials and pens of insulin with me in my hand luggage on orher trips, also no problems.

I had it in the luggage so i did not put it my carry on but I'm leaning towards you might run the risk of it being taken. Also the size may Exceed the amount of liquid your allowed to bring on an airplane.

It is suitable for pocket carry if needed. A suitcase would be no problem to pack this firepower.

It will take up about 20% of an average carry on, the only worry I would have it is pretty hard to deflate and you probably need a pump to fill it up too,

No, the pump is attached to the bag. Theoretically you could probably remove it, and you would have a metal box that is the pump, but you wouldn't be able to put it back into the bag.

I used the battery pack while traveling last year. I used a dual pump so I preferred the battery pack to run it. I owned a manual pump as well but it was quiet tedious to operate (I had painful thumbs/hands)

It folds up quite small, about 8" x 12" X 1-1/2" thick, but we have a little battery operated pump we use. You could also use the small plastic pump that comes with an exercise ball if you're worried about space while traveling. This float is VERY durable and a nice size also. I bought 2 so I'd have a spare but will not need it for a long time the way they hold up strength-wise. I hope this helped. Enjoy your trip!

Suitcase would have to be large. I have carried it as my 2nd carry on through an airport. It is quite heavy, but if you can piggyback it to a roller bag, it is manageable. Security had to pull out the pump to inspect it. Prefer to travel without it, but if you need it, you need it.

Yes - it has travelled with us often. Deflated it easily fits in a carry on and I believe it weighs under 5 lbs. We also pack a small pump in the carry on.

It is big enough, just have to pack carefully. not sure what "pumping supply" is but...
