Medela PISA v. Medela Freestyle
I saw Eagles' post in Amer's hospital bag thread about the Medela PISA being on sale at Target. We've held off on buying a pump, hoping for such a sale. Now that it's on sale, I'm hesitating on pulling the trigger because it's not hands free. Can anyone offer any sort of comparison or opinion on whether you think one is better than the other (other than the massive price difference)? I'm pretty set on a Medela pump either way. It's just a matter of which.
Re: Medela PISA v. Medela Freestyle
I am curious to see the advice too.
Just a side note: The Medela Freestyle is regularly priced $299 (vs $379 at BRU) at Burlington Coat Factory - Baby Depot. I can not remember the PISA price but it was cheaper than any sales I have seen too. If you are not near a Burlington, they are available on their website.
my PISA has a battery pack that I can use if needed (in the car for example). i have yet to think of an instance where i would be somewhere, pumping, that hands-free would be needed and if it was i would probably get the bra. i have had no issues with it at all. i was concerned because i had rented the hospital grade medela symphony (in case we had issues i figured $75 for a month wasn't a bad "test run") but the PISA was similar suction and actually easier for toting around.
good luck!
