Anyone have any suggestions on how to travel with this pump? It doesn't have a battery pack, or icepack...

I was able to put a normal size square cooler pack into the small zip-up pouch that was included.

I never traveled with it I had just used mine at home. It comes with a carrying bag and you can plug it into an outlet, but as far as a battery pack no it doesn't come with one.

Oh...and the pump strength is DEF not as strong. I'd recommend the car charger over the battery pack if you are wanting to pump in the car. The car adaptor isn't QUITE as strong either, but it's way better than the battery pack. Battery pack is good in a pinch though.

Nope, it's just a battery pack to power the pump. You can use rechargeable batteries in it, but you still need a battery charger for them. I keep the battery pack with rechargeable batteries and the battery charger in my pump bag at all times.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

For me it's not lack of power from the battery. Mine is brand new and has much less suction than the pump in style advanced.

I have a Coleman battery powered air pump, and the batteries do not come with it. Also, not as powerful as a plug in air pump.

We leave it over the weekend, a filter and pump would be a nice additionit's not designed to be inflated or out in the elements long unless you get a cover, I use my cordless leaf blower to inflate it, but a small shop vac setup to blow would work just as well

Hi Mary, we used a pump. We used an electric one that we plunged into an outlet. I believe it was a Coleman? Our battery one wasn't that strong. We pumped it up at the camp then carried it down to the lake.

No, it doesn't take batteries. If you have a converter for your car you can use it while the car is running. It comes with a carrying bag and, unlike some Medela pumps, it is not stuck to the bag, so in that way, it is portable.

It does not come with a pump. We bought a separate coleman battery operated pump.

although i am not 100% sure, i can't imagine that there would be one like this with a battery. the whole point of this one is to use the manual pump which is really fun!

You don't HAVE to have one, but it would certainly help as it needs a lot of air. The valve is small and you can blow it up by mouth if you need to . I bought a low-priced electric pump at Big Lots...it came with a couple different nozzles one of which worked fine. I'm sure you can get one at Walmart or Target too. (or Amazon!). Have fun!

Yes, I stored mine away after the first summer and haven't found it to this day!!!! I looked up the spec's and ordered one on line. They are very inexpensive. The cord is attached to the pump.

They tell you not to leave it up year round, but I did. You need to drain it below the hose holes a couple inches.Then remove all hoses and the valves. Shock well and put in some altitude. I let it uncovered.I live in the North were it get below freezing for 2 -3 months. Once it Thames out put some more shock and agencies in it the put the hoses and valves back on,then hook up the pump when there's no more chances that it will freeze. Also they now sell a solar blanket that fits perfect and will help warm it up..

I'm not sure how you are supposed to pump it up. I happened to have something like "Classic Accessories Inflatable Boat/Tube Hand Pump" (if you search on Amazon) from something I had before. Definitely wouldn't want to to try to blow up with my mouth. Best of luck.

I'm not sure about question 1. 2. Only the single pump takes batteries. You must use a plug for the double pump. 3 I have not tried the single. I chose the double because it is time-saving. You can also use it as a single if you choose to. I didn't need the battery option (I think you will be spending a lot on batteries). I do have a converter that allows me to plug into my car's cigarette lighter... That has come in handy for on-the-go.
