    Very handy! A few snacks will stray and occasionally my little guy liked to take the lid off or turn it upside down and shake the snacks out, but this was rare. Mostly it worked just like it should and kept the majority of the snack from being flung to the floor with the first swing.

    This is a great product. My son started using it when he was one, and he still uses it now that he's three. And it's inexepnsive!!

    I thought this was brilliant UNTIL I actually used it. It didn't stop spills at all. If anything it made spilling more challenging and therefore more FUN. Ack.

    This product is great, but it would be much better w/ a lid that screwed on. My daughter quickly learned how to pop the top off.

    These are the best! My daughter has been using them for 2 years and they still hold up. I recommend purchasing the lids as well; dry snacks will stay fresh and refrigerated items (like apples) can last if there are leftovers.

    Much better than the open tupperware I used to give my son snacks in. A lot less spills this way. Not completely spill proof, but it helps.

    While I might have given the snack trap to my baby a few months bere the 1 year mark, she immediately figured how to pour out any snack from the lid that you can think of. Her Cheerios made a fantastic sound in the little cup, but made an even better activity being shaken out of the snack trap. I thin this would best fit older children that also share mom's desire not to spill out their treats because to my baby, the harder it is to get out of the cup, the more fun it is when they eventually come pouring out anyhow.

    kids pick up how to self-feed almost instantly. a few cheerios do find their way out, but minimizes a mess in the car/stroller/house/etc.

    Great for a while, not as much mess or dropped snacks, but my toddler learnt to get the lid off pretty quickly.

    Certainly limits the number of cheerios that goes flying everywhere, but doesn't prevent some of them from getting loose.

    Love this product. We take a walk in the stroller every morning and my daughter asks for her "snack." It I use a clip to attach it to her stroller and we're off!

    Before I bought this product, I would drive with one hand on the wheel and the other holding an open cup with my baby's snacks. I knew I needed help!! This product works wonderfully. Only occasionally will a small snack fall through. It's also large enough to hold enough snacks for quite a few hours. Now the streets are safer with both my hands and attention on the road. I always get compliments on this great product and friends/family have bought after checking it out.

    Love it! Now we don't leave a trail of Cheerios behind us at the store.

    This is the best option on the market, as far as I know, but I did wish it was harder for a 2-year-old to get the top off and dump it all over the floor. No reason, I'm just picky like that.

  • maggiechrist 3 stars

    Works well, until you toss it in your bag and there are cheerios everywhere. But in the kid's hands, it's fine.

    This was great to use for animal crackers for my son. He couldn't spill them everywhere.

  • asmaurer 5 stars

    Ingenious little invention. We've used them with both our boys and find them a lot less messy than baggies (and have the added benefit of not having to worry that they'll be playing with an empty plastic bag before you realize the snacks have been eaten up). Yes, they do figure out to hold the flaps in and shake it, but that's usually short-lived and still preferable to the alternative.

    This product does exactly what it promises. Perfect for small snacks like crackers, cereal, and raisins.

    My friend's son loves his snack trap but my son stuck his hand in, held is fingers down so the opening was wider, and shook treats everywhere. Much more fun to him than using it for the intended purpose. He would rather pull treats out of a regular zip-top bag or lidded travel container. If your child is less adventurous than mine, this might work great for you.

  • larasees 3 stars

    Good concept, but the kids ended up being afraid of putting their fingers in there so they started taking the lids off.

  • parentville 2 stars

    Hated it. My son was afraid to put his fingers inside so he shook it upside down to get his treats out. Defeats the purpose, right?

    We used this to hold cheerios. Worked well until the girl decide to take the entire lid off.
