Snack catchers /

[ladygrey]

Do these actually work? Amazon reviews are mixed and it seems like it would be hard to pull food out without snagging your fingers (even for little toddler hands). Or if there are other decent no-spill snack products, feel free to suggest!

Lately I like reusable snack bags more. Or the Take and Toss cups that have a solid lid.

[shell24]

I like those and they have worked for my kids. Of course some pieces might get out (just as they would with a Baggie) but if they drop or throw it nothing comes flying out.

[lostmonkeyatikea]

No, this was a waste for us. My kid couldn't get his hand in and out to get the snack out and then once he was old enough to figure out how to get the snack out, he figured out he could dump it all.

They have worked really well for us. At 25 months, I still use them for small items, raisins, etc.

[redheadk]

They are good for the car, park, stroller, etc. DD is able to use a reusable baggie with no spilling now but these were a much better option for us for a long time.

[dcn]

Yes we still use them.

[MamaMaui24]

We like them. Perfect for dry cereal in the car. #snackculture

Also, I like the OXO version if you plan to throw it in your purse/diaper bag. It has a lid so no random goldfish at the bottom of your purse

They suck.

DD could lift the plastic flaps and turn the regular snack traps upside down. This helped a lot.

Now I just carry individual sized snack bags around - not the most MM, but I do buy them at Costco! She still spills sometimes, but she's not too bad.

[kaycee]

DD pushes a flap down and then flips it upside down and laughs while stuff pour out.

[ssmjlm]

DH doesn't like them and I do.

I think it depends what's inside. Goldfish work better than cheerios for E b/c of the size.

DS has used it for the past couple months (he's 19 months now). He's been very good about not dumping it all, but he does like to try to get his fist around as many pieces as possible before pulling them out. For now, I like it.

[bearbaby]

They work well for my DS. He did have a (thankfully brief) phase of thinking it was delightful to shove the flaps in and flip the cup upside down to pour things out.

But, as a giant baby club member, he quickly got over that because duh, he'd rather be eating than pouring.

I thought they were pretty helpful for our 12-24 month age range. I never had an issue with DS pouring them out.

Yes, it works wonderfully for us! DD has never gotten her hands out or been able to dump out the contents. We have like 6 of them because we keep one in the car, stroller, diaper bag, extras, etc...

[countthestars]

They're very meh for us. Sometimes they are great. Sometimes she's chucking them at my head while I'm driving because she can't get her "CRACKAA".

[djc315]

The top part is really soft, so it's really easy for babies/toddlers to get their hands in & out.

We have a set and use them pretty often still. I like this one better, since it's harder for him to intentionally spill: www.amazon.com/Nuby-3-D-Snack-Keeper-Monster/dp/B0081C9UOQ

[leonard131]

We use them all the time. They keep him occupied in the car and stuff doesn't spill out in my bag.

[rupertpenny]

We have a Nuby one and I love it. B can access it easily but still doesn't dump it out.

[Deleted]

B is going on 17 months and he can't get anything out of them. Neither can I really but we have opposite problems.

[mcfelix]

Currently we have a 35 minute ride to and from daycare so having this is a lifesaver. I absolutely agree that goldfish are better than Cheerios though- DS ends up with Cheerios all over the seat from shaking it but goldfish stay in there better. It's seriously a lifesaver for us!!! Keeps him happy in the car and helps me distract him so I can strap him in, as he haaaaates getting buckled into his carseat.

I have the exact one you posted and also the munchkin version that has a top. We prefer the one with the top.
