Baby cooler bag with roomy storage: ODDBBI Love Love Cooler Bag

This mom is always loaded down like a pack mule whenever we go out. I keep packing things while telling myself, “We might need this someday!” At 35 months, I wondered if I could finally cut back a little? But now that I carry all kinds of snacks around, a cooler bag has become an absolute outing essential.

Why You Need a Cooler Bag for Outings With a Baby

This summer was seriously hot. I had so many worries about taking food out with us, to the point that a cooler bag felt absolutely necessary. The cooler bag I had been using at home was small, so I needed one in a slightly larger size.

I often take a fruit lunchbox with us when we go out. Without a cooler bag, even the fruit would get overripe and become difficult to eat outside. When you are out with a baby eating baby food, I think it is even more of an essential item. I use a cooler bag in every season: in summer to protect food from the heat, and in winter to keep food from getting too cold.

Storage and Insulation I Look for in a Cooler Bag

I really love a cooler bag with plenty of storage that keeps things cold well. The ODDBBI Cooler Bag has a removable divider, so you can take it out when you need to pack larger food containers.

There are separate mesh storage pockets on both sides, where I sometimes put baby snacks or vitamins. There is also a separate pocket in the lid, which I use for things I need to grab quickly or for medicine.

A Day Out With the ODDBBI Love Love Cooler Bag

This is the ODDBBI Love Love Cooler Bag, delivered inside such a pretty pouch. I think I could use this eco bag separately, too.

Isn’t the pink ruffle on the handle so pretty? It is a cute, charming mini cooler bag. The purple and mint colors go so well with the aurora-like sheen, making the ODDBBI Love Love Cooler Bag look even more vibrant and lovely.

We had plans to eat with family, so I packed my outing bag—and it holds quite a lot of snacks and food, right? I packed a baby water bottle, gim (dried seaweed), two barley tea pouches, a purée, three stick-shaped snacks, one container of snacks, and straws. It is not shown here, but I later added a small pack of wet wipes, too. The pockets on both sides were especially the perfect place for things I needed to pull out quickly!

It has a strap that can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder, so it was really nice to have my hands free when I was out with my baby.

Outdoors, the aurora colors of the ODDBBI Cooler Bag looked even more shimmery. Wearing it on my shoulder let me move around freely with my child, and the wide ruffled handle was just right to hold in my hand.

The size is just right and the colors are so pretty that I think it could become an outing essential with a baby! There is nothing more disappointing than not being able to eat the food you took the trouble to prepare once you are out. It was the kind of season when even a fruit lunchbox would become completely overripe in the heat, after all. I think it would be nice to keep food safe when going out with the ODDBBI Cooler Bag.
