Ameda Purely Yours Carry All Breast Pump Traveler Backpack
Cost: Moderate to expensive ($215.00 at amazon.com)
Just the facts: Includes the pump system, Ameda HygieniKit Milk Collection System, backpack, cooler tote with cooler pack, 6 4-oz. bottles; and a car power adapter. Customizable rhythm and suction controls.
Worth noting: Pump features patented technology that prevents moisture and milk from entering the tubing, which means a more sterile environment and less to clean. The pump is also sold under the brand name Lasinoh. The version here includes the backpack and bottles, but the pump alone can be purchased for around $145.00.
What the experts say: Consumer Reports lists it as one of the top models to consider and Baby Bargains (7th edition) gives the pump an "A."
User raves: Users love how easy the pump is to clean, saying that, "the main reason I like it is that I don't have to worry about sterilizing the tubing" and "a only three pieces need washing after use." Another Amazon.com user also praised the backpack as being "an awesome feature for moms on the go."
User rants: Some moms with larger nipples find the Ameda openings to be a little snug.
