small cooler suggestions

[Debs5angels]

Here is my problem. One of my DD's only drinks juice boxes. Can anyone recommend a smallish lightweight cooler to bring to the parks that will keep them cold? I will not have a fridge in the room so I can't freeze them and the only thing I'll have access to is the ice from the machines in the hotel. I feel bad for her to have to drink them hot!

Debs5angels---
this is what we're doing..... went to walmart and bought cooler/lunchbox (backtoschool time, should be easy to find one)..anyway, it looks like a lunchbag that you roll down and velcro shut. it's small, lightweight and compact...and only cost $.97!! as for keeping them cool...this is our plan (we are staying at ASMo w/o fridge also)....get gallon or 2 gallon ziploc bags. DOUBLE BAG them with ice....it will keep them cool for a long time--and you can request ice anywhere to refill them! i say to 'double bag' cuz one time i just threw ice in a zip bag and the bag ended up having a leak and it got very wet and leaked water everywhere...so, i now double bag and take a couple along just in case! good luck!!

I have a nice size soft cooler from California innoventions. I got it a t sears. It will fit like 6 cans of soda, 8 juice boxes, ice paks, and my daughters 4 bottles of medicine. it isn't too big. It also has a small dryside for chips, crackers, sunscreen.

It might be too big for just juice boxes, but Coleman makes a soft sided cooler that folds up for easy packing in suitcases. You can unfold it once you get there and fill it with a zip-lock bag of ice to keep things cool, then add juice boxes, sandwiches, fruit, or anything else you want cool/cold. This is what BF and I plan on doing. We'll just stow the cooler in a locker at the park until we want it.

They do make smaler ones as well, if all you want is to bring juice boxes.
