Lunch bag/tote for daycare (need recs)

[maurenemm]

Hi,

Anyone have a lunch bag/tote they'd recommend for daycare? The one I have now is looking kinda rough and is a bit too small now that DS (12 months) is eating more solids. I'd like something that DH wouldn't mind carrying. Insulated is probably a good idea.

I'm not really sure how big I should go. We're going to start sending milk and sippys instead of formula and bottles. But I haven't yet worked out with daycare the best way to do to this - ie send a container with milk and one sippy to be refilled during the day. Or multiple sippys already filled with milk. What do you ladies do?

Thanks!

I have the Land's End lunch tote, and it worked well when ds was about your ds' age.

I love that it's all insulated, has a zipper in the front for snacks, has a long shoulder strap, and has D-ring to clip onto the stroller or another bag!

I will say that I find it a bit small now that ds is 18mo. I'm thinking of getting the LLbean super pack, but for your needs you could probably get this:http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=38069&sc1=Search&feat=sr

Do you have an insulated sippy, like the take and toss insulated or munchkin cupsicles? that way you can put in a lot of milk and the daycare can just keep it in the fridge.
