Made of microfibre, the bag measures 6.46” x 6.1” x 5.31”, so it fits into the larger end of our options. Both the bag and bottles are BPA free. The cooler will hold other (shorter) bottles, but because of its design, it is quite short, meaning a lot of bottles won’t fit. If you are planning to use it for anything bigger or taller, even moving up to the Medela 8oz bottles, then you may be disappointed. It is also designed to fit inside another bag and doesn’t come with a carry strap, so you can’t easily transport it around on its own. This is a great choice if you already have one of the Medela pump or diaper bags, but otherwise, we think there are better products out there. Pros
