 | Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump - Carry All
Buy new: $185.00 I tried the Madela and the Ameda. I prefer the Ameda. It was able to pump out the most milk between the two. Plus, I like that I can take the pump out of the bag. It's very quiet. The parts are durable. And no milk ends up in the hosing.

This fits at our dinning room table and doesn't take up a lot of space. The tray is big enough for most messes. The fact that it reclines is great for small babies. We used it to just have our 2-4 month old sit at the table with us during meals.
