**The product**
This is an insulated bottle holder designed to keep bottles warm for while you are out and about and as a busy mum this is essential for me as my children have lots of activities that keep me out of the house. What I really like about this bag is it has a handle strap on the top of the bag so it can be hung from the buggy saving you from searching through the changing bag trying to find it. This is very simple to open up and close back together and yet it sits firmly on the pushchair without falling making it very convenient.
There is a zip a little way down the top of the bag to open it up and place the bottle inside. This opens up fully meaning it is very easy to place the bag in and out easily without any trouble which is great when you are out and about. The zip opens and closes very easy and I can do it with one hand which is a plus when I am trying to multi task making up the bottle.

**In use**
When I had my first son my health visitor recommended not making up feeds in advance as the water is great for bacteria to breed and so she advised using the milk dispensers to make up feeds on the go. Of course you cannot let it cool too much and that is why these bags are handy as they help keep the water warm on the go until you are ready to make up the feed .The bag works perfectly I can put a bottle of hot water inside and it will hold the heat for a good few hours. Of course it does lose some heat but it is still warm enough for me to add the milk and make the little ones bottle without it becoming too cold and useless for making bottles.

I have the closer to nature bottles as I received them with the same set I got this insulated bag with and they fit perfectly I was not sure if other brands of bottles would fit inside but my children's juice bottles also fit inside it is a little bit of a squeeze but it's great to know they are not limited to the manufacturers brand. They fit both the small and larger bottles inside but are also perfect for keeping jars of food warm when weaning and yogurts and such for picnics.I also find they are great for keeping cartons of juice cool for when we go on picnics and it is hot outside rather than my children having to drink warm juice they can have a nice cool refreshing drink and again I find if I put cool carton of juice in the bag in the morning before we set of at lunchtime they are still nice and cold and enjoyable for my children to drink.

**Durability **
I still have my very first one of these insulated bags and we got that years ago so they really do last a very long time. We have used them regularly too so it is great to know it is durable and I have been able to use them for all of my children. My only downside is they are wipe clean only and there has been occasions I have spilt milk while making the bottles up and it does leave a mark on them making them look a little untidy. These are not just limited to bottle feeding either as I can put juice bottles inside this means I can get a little extra use out of them for my money which is always a plus side.

**Summary **
I find these insulated bottle bags very useful as a mum of four children I am often on the go and it is not always possible to be in the house when it is feeding time. They are not just limited for when the children are younger and come in handy to keep juice cool in the summer when we go on picnics and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I received my first one in a large starter set I received with my steriliser but you can purchase them for around £10 from mother care and other child related shops. Amazon currently have a pack of 2 for around £8 which I think is a fantastic deal as it can cost that much for one in other stores.
