snack-trap cup

your little one has reached an important milestone: that's right, he's eating cheerios. or puffs. or something else small that he can not only pick up, but also throw! all! over! the! place!!!

i'm convinced we're currently in danger of being banned from one of our favorite baby-friendly restaurants. on a recent outing, cole decided that the proper way to eat cheerios involved throwing ten on the floor for every one he ate. by the time we left, we were sitting on a virtual carpet of cheerios. funny, yes, but not necessarily worth the glares we got from the manager. (child-hating bastard. your restaurant is in noe valley. if you don't like kids, you're in the wrong neighborhood, buddy.)

ahem. getting back to the point, i realized we needed a better snack containment system than "put cheerios on table, let baby throw them on floor." wandering around babies r us my eyes locked in on the snack-trap, the original "anti-spill" snack cup. oooh - tell me more, snack-trap!

the snack-trap, taglined as "because kids spill things," is a brilliant invention. the perfect size to tote around town, the snack-trap cup had two handles for baby to grip and also and most importantly their patent-pending lid. its unique flexible slot design means that your baby's little hands can easily reach in but snacks are kept securely inside. our test run out yesterday showed that not all snack spillage was avoided completely, but it was an ENORMOUS improvement over everything else i've seen.

snack-trap's design even means baby can lift up the cup and turn it upside down without a barrage of gerber puffs falling on his head. because you know it's only a matter of time before he tries.
