The Best $4.99 I Ever Spent
The snack trap has made traveling in the car with Natalie 1,000 times better than it ever was before. Natalie was never super happy in the car, and it got worse as soon as she started creeping. She wants to be on the move constantly, so being strapped into the car makes her really mad (if it’s not nap time).
We’ve tried toys, books, music, singing, bottles, and sippy cups, but none have kept Natalie as happy for as long in the car as the snack trap. I was hesitant to let Natalie eat in the car for fear that she would choke, but she’s proven herself very capable of self-feeding small items like cheerios and puffs. Sure, when I take her out of the car seat there are cheerios all over the place—the snack trap isn’t spill-proof, it merely slows the spillage down. A few spilled cheerios is well worth Natalie not crying during car trips longer than 5 minutes.
I feel only mildly guilty for setting her up for a lifetime of using food to fight boredom…
As you can see, Natalie is very possessive of her snack trap. It makes a good maraca, too!
