Thermos bag

A long walk with a baby, a trip to a clinic, a trip or a trip - surely many young mothers have encountered such situations. To do this, you need to collect a sufficiently voluminous bag with everything necessary for the baby. There are diapers, and change of clothes, and toys, and hygiene items, and, of course, bottles of food.

Milk, formula, liquid porridge, or other food may cool off or simply go bad. In order to maintain food in a comfortable environment at a certain and constant temperature, thermos bags have been specially created. Today, they greatly facilitate not only the life of a young mother and her baby, but are also a reliable assistant on long trips, hikes, travels and other situations.

The thermos bag is designed for storing and transporting food at a certain temperature. There are three main types of these bags: for storing hot food, cold and frozen. Depending on the type, each bag has a specific task. For example, one protects the contents from rapid heat transfer, the second maintains a given temperature.

There are a number of models that can be charged from a conventional car cigarette lighter, which can act as a cooling or heating element.

Outwardly, such a bag resembles a household or travel bag. Models of the vertical type are more suitable as a backpack. This thermos is ideal for hikers or cyclists.

Horizontal models are designed to be carried by hand or transported in vehicles.

A special bag is a great alternative to a regular thermos, which is not always suitable for long, long trips. For example, during a long car trip, you have to take a large amount of food with you so as not to waste time on snacks in roadside cafes. It is not always convenient and possible.Moreover, when it comes to a nursing baby. This accessory can easily accommodate several bottles of ready-made formula or milk.

Moreover, the capacity of such containers may be different. Moreover, some models provide storage for other useful things, for example, wet wipes, diapers, baby cream, toys, clothes. For this, special compartments are provided, and mom does not need to take several different bags and packages with her on the road.

Such models are made of environmentally friendly, practical and durable materials. Handbags can have different shapes, designs, sizes. Supplemented with external pockets, shoulder straps, handles.

The principle of operation of the bag is based on the use of special heat-insulating materials. Most often these are synthetic fabrics, they are durable, unpretentious in care, waterproof. The thermos effect is created by using a polyurethane, polyethylene or foil spacer between the inner and outer layers of the accessory. The outer materials are nylon or other waterproof fabric. The model must be equipped with a tight-fitting lid to avoid additional heat loss.

The main function of cooling the contents of the bag is performed by ice packs (plastic briquettes filled with saline or dry ice). They are usually used for medical purposes.

Some models are equipped with special elements that are able to maintain a constant temperature inside the bag in autonomous mode. And they can be charged from batteries or a car "cigarette lighter".

Depending on how much time will be spent on the transportation of products, one or another model is chosen. For example, for 3-4 hours, the most budgetary option is quite suitable, where for reliability you can place any cooling element, for example, dry ice.

If a longer journey is planned, then a rechargeable model is required. Such an accessory is capable of maintaining the set temperature for up to 2 days or more.

When choosing a suitable thermal bag, the following factors must be considered:

• Wall thickness... They must be dense and thick enough to protect the contents from external mechanical stress and too low or high temperatures.
• Cover tightness... The flap or lid of the bag should fit snugly against it. This will prevent heat loss and keep the contents safe.
• The bag must be large enough to hold everything you need... The material from which it is made must be waterproof, practical, durable.

That is, in 20-degree frost, the contents of the bag will cool down more slowly than in ordinary bags, but it will still be. The best use case is spring-autumn. Therefore, the comments of some buyers, who are unhappy with the fact that milk or food has cooled down in the cold, suggest that they miscalculated the capabilities of the thermal container.

Basically, there are positive reviews for such bags. One of the advantages noted by young parents is the low weight of the accessories. They are compact enough and at the same time perfectly withstand the required temperature.

Special praise was given to the models powered by car "cigarette lighters". This option is especially convenient, because with small children you often have to make car trips: to the clinic, to visit, to the countryside.

Some buyers note the convenience of such bags on long journeys, for example, on the train. The heated bag provides complete nutrition for your baby at any time of the day.

Making an elementary thermos at home is quite simple. To do this, you need a suitably sized bag and insulating material. It can be foil-clad polyethylene foam (polyisol, teploizol), which is sold in hardware stores. It is good if the material is double-sided, and its thickness should be at least 5 mm. You will also need tape and scissors.

The selected bag is measured from all sides in order to make a foil liner according to these dimensions. The pattern is drawn on foil and cut out. It should be noted that the liner must completely fit into the bag, so its dimensions should be a few centimeters smaller than the real ones.

Next, the liner is attached with tape from the inside and outside and inserted into the bag. The lid can be made separately or together with the main pattern. Such a primitive thermos will help keep milk, water and food at the right temperature for several hours.
