4.0 out of 5 stars Get the right volt adapter (12 or 9 volt), September 8, 2008

This review is from: Vehicle Lighter Adapter (Baby Product)

BE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT VOLTAGE ADAPTER! There are TWO different Medela vehicle car adapters. One is designed for 12 volt pumps and the other for 9 volt pumps. If you use the 9 volt adapter on a 12 volt pump, the suction will be weaker and/or a different pace than what you are used to using the regular AC plug adapter. Mismatching pumps and adapters will, over time, stress your breastpump motor and/or your car battery.

Read the product information and examine the labeling on your pump to be sure what kind you have.

A definite must have if you own a Medela pump in style. Its esy to pump anywhere you go by just plugging into your cars cigarette lighter.I have found no difference in suction between using the a/c adaptor in the house or the car adaptor......

It is important to realize that the car adaptor works differently than the AC adaptor. I use my Pump in Style on the highest settings and found that with the car adaptor it was now pumping very fast and shallow. I assume I could get used to that. The big problem that I had was that the quick short pumps drew milk up the tubing several times. What a mess to clean out all that back flow! Lowering the speed did not help it pump more deeply. I ended up pumping very slowly for it to work.

All in all, this product was worth it for long trips- I have time and lots of baby wipes on hand. If you are planning to use this product daily (on the way home from work or on your lunch break) you may want to reconsider.
