But also any baby store (buy buy baby, babies r us) is good too. I've also done the backseat of my car, but it has a standard plug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486415 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 14:07:06 +0000 avivoca 2486415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it in the car with the battery pack, but I'd get the car adapter for sure. I actually bought one but it turns out that my car (which used to be a rental) is missing the fuse for the cigarette lighter/car adapter! I guess they took it out when it was a rental to make sure people wouldn't use it to light cigarettes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486410 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 14:04:03 +0000 HabesBabe 2486410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd buy a battery pack just in case... that way you could pump anywhere, even without a plug. Many malls have mothers rooms now, so even if you don't go to Nordtrom, you can check out your shopping center's website or guest services to see if they have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486390 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:56:21 +0000 snowjewelz 2486390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought battery pack and car adaptor for just in case, so if your pumping times coincide with just getting there or about to leave, then I'd do it in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486373 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:44:58 +0000 sooz 2486373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with all the previous posters. I've done it in the car, Nordstrom, and Buy Buy Baby (those stores are the best). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486366 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:41:56 +0000 yellowbird 2486366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it in the car, the airport bathroom, a stall at a basketball game, the bathroom of a conference center, under a nursing cover on a plane. I have a freestyle though and don't need a plug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486359 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:37:23 +0000 Dahlia 2486359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone. There is a Nordstrom, so I'll plan on being there around pumping time. I appreciate the help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486356 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:34:29 +0000 PawPrints 2486356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are stores that have pumping rooms, and the mall itself may have one. I know Buy Buy Baby has one, and Nordstrom's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486347 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:27:55 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2486347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've pumped in my car, but my car has a standard plug. It was kind of a pain and not super private since people could see in through the windshield. I would look for a mall with a mothers room or a Macy's or Nordstroms. Their bathrooms typically have a small sitting area near the entrance and I've seen people pumping there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486346 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:24:48 +0000 Anagram 2486346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it in the car, in the backseat. Or while I drive, haha. I have a Freestyle and can pump anywhere though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-pump-in-public#post-2486344 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:22:07 +0000 Dahlia 2486344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Next week I want to take a trip from our tiny town to a nearby city to go shopping. LO will be at daycare, so I will need to pump once, maybe twice while I'm there. I'm totally lost about how to do that.<br /> Are there any stores/restaurant chains that usually have a plug in a bathroom stall or another place to pump? Or should I buy a battery pack/car adaptor for my PISA and pump in the car? </p>
