My little one is too young for this but I already recognise how handy something like the Snack Trap can be. Geared to toddlers (and kids), the Snack Trap is a 7oz handled cup that has a patent pending lid with soft slits in it. When your child gets a snack out, their hand goes in easily, and the lid closes when they take their hand (and snack out).

Most parents would say that a product that makes things easier, simpler, or just less messy will always be a winner so it’s no surprise that this product has won the silver award for Best Innovative Product in the 06/07 Mother and Baby awards. It’s available in pink, blue or white. Naturally I’d prefer something less cartoony…Maybe they’ll start doing them in black, red, or beige and white…
