We'll be taking a 3-day driving trip south next month, staying in hotels with mini fridges.Will just getting the ice packs cold in a fridge be ok?

Yes. I think you will like it. I keep my insuline in it. Its good for all 10-12 hours drive.

Personal opinion: no. You need frozen ice packs to retain cold for any length of time. You could bring ziplock bags and put in fresh hotel ice each day and night. Just double bag the ice to prevent too much condensation. I always ziplock bag my meds too to prevent water damage. Have a good trip.

It depends on the medication you are travelling with. We use it for growth hormones which needs to be kept cool. I would recommend taking ziplock bags and fill them with ice regularly. The case has a compartment for the ice pack and I do not think it would stay cool very long unless it is frozen. If I were travelling, I would use ice, then refill whenever I stop for gas. With an ice pack it will stay cool for up to 6 hours. I love this thing. Happy travels.

It may be okay as long as your meds stay within the allowed temp range but I would call your Pharmacist or Doctor to be sure. The ice pack section and med section are lined on either side with a thermal reflective barrier so should hold pretty well. Most mini fridges have a small freezer section but refrigerated is better than no cooling if no other options are available.

it does not have to stay cold. Room temp is fine, it is not shipped in a refrigerated package. If you worry that is a very long trip (overseas?), you can add 1/2 teaspoon of organic sugar cane. it should be ok for 304 weeks at least. Why not have shipped directly to where you going?

I use it during school, leaving at about 7 AM and returning around 5, and the ice pack is usually still somewhat frozen when I return home. Granted, I'm not leaving it in a hot car, but I think 12 hours isn't too much of a stretch!

Dear Charum san, Thank you for your inquiry. We are afraid we can not put an ice pack or dry ice with item because it is prohibited by aviation law. However even if the chocolate melt on the way, it should be OK if you chill in the fridge for a couple of hours before eating.

I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think they hold their "freeze" very long at all. I'd use a small freezer pack instead.

I keep mine in the refrigerator once opened which the company prefers. However, if it is kept in a cool dry place it should be fine (per Amazing Grass). I have traveled with mine at room temp for short periods of time with no problems...even after is has been stored cold.

I would think so if you had enough ice or ice packs to keep the product frozen. I've frozen yogurt tubes and transported them with ice. But I don't know if you'd be able to keep them frozen for 2 1/2 to 3 hours to travel that far. I'd try packing a couple and seeing how long they last at home before you take it on the road.

Yes. If it is plugged in, it is a cool as a fridge. If unplugged overnight, have ice packs in the cooler and a blanket on top of the lid for insulation and your food will stay cold and fresh for the next day. If concerned, put a thermometer in it.

The ice pack stay cold for like 3 hours, but it is really good. Stays in the place and it is not aggressive cold.I recommend.

I have used this to go to the beach but you will need to pack it with alot of those rubbermaid blue ice packs. I have found things stay colder in those red and white "Igloo" or "Coleman" coolers but they are not as portable. Now I just keep these in my car to keep hot foods or cold foods on the way home fromthe store

We followed manufacturer's instructions. Softened & dried and the next day ice packs were placed in subzero freezer for approx 3 days because we transported frozen soft serve sherbet from Dayton OH to Boston in a used Omaha Steak Styrofoam cooler. 16 hr. drive & Techni Ice was still frozen!

put ice packs in mine. it is cold 9 to 10 hours later. If you preheat the thermos it will go just about 24 hours

They will still be cold if it is closed and in a decent temperature (in the car or bus), but they would not be frozen. It guarantees frozen things up to 3 hours.

If you are traveling anywhere that will be warm, I'm guessing the food will not be very cold by the next day. If you intend to eat most of the food, then it should be okay.

I sincerely doubt it. This product has been a huge dissappointment. I would estimate that this ice pack would stay frozen for 4-5 hours.

I used ice packs. They worked pretty well. A thought, though: I would keep a napkin or paper towel handy. Packs have a tendency to "sweat" as the day progresses and it helps to keep the bag clean.

Unfortunately no, but the matching bento bag is insulated so you wouldn't need an ice pack
