After a long two hour drive to visit relatives during which I had to hold a hand full of cereal in my hand over the seat to keep my hungry 18 month old happy, I went in search of this cup. I was so thrilled when it arrived that we broke one out and tried it right then and there. We are very happy with the Snack Trap. We've tried it with big things such as animal crackers and smaller things like apple bits and have had success with everything so far. My son was notorious for dumping anything I gave him in a bowl. While it is true that he can figure out a way to dump the Snack Trap if he wants to, I find that as long as I only give it to him when he is hungry, he uses it properly. We are very happy with this product and will probably be purchasing more in the future.

This is one of the best products out there. This is a necessity in my book. My little ones love it too. I am happy because they get a snack anytime, anywhere, without the mess. They are happy because this is something they are able to do for themselves, and get a tasty treat. Only wish is to have more feminine choices.

I love the snack trap and so does my young child. It's great to have in the car...keeps them very entertained. They love the fact that they can get their food out themselves and feed themselves too. I would recommend buying the 3 pack as opposed to just buying one as I did. I'm planning to buy the 3 pack and keep them in different places (car, husband's car, highchair,etc.)so we'll always have one handy.
The only complaint that I have is that after using the Snack trap for awhile the plastic on the top that keeps the snack in starts to wear out. Thus making it easier for my toddler to dump out the contents of his snack trap.

My son is THREE AND A HALF and is ALWAYS dropping his snacks, or tipping over the cup. He wont let me give them to him one at a time, nor will he except ANY help while trying to open a snack cup. These snack traps are GREAT! BUT it did take our little guy a few minutes to get the hang of it, Daddy had to show him, so I am guessing it would take even longer for a 12 month old to figure out... be patient, its worth it! We use it outdoors, INDOORS in the car, and just about everywhere. I fill it with cereals, goldfish, mini crackers, cheese, small fruits and veggies, and even popcorn! If he tips the cup and shakes it, food will come out (only 2-3 cheerios or something) or sometimes they get flicked up when the triangle pieces pop back into place. Of course they arent ideal for just throwing in the diaper bag, which is why I wish they came with "travel caps", or if BRU sold them separatly. Also, if you remove the lid (a bit tough to do) you can use the snack trap as a cup! Hes learning to drink from a regular cup, and with the two handles, it rocks! Also great for foods like jello and icecream (without the lids). Its easy to clean too. The only thing that annoys me is that BRU doesnt sell the different kind of covers, or many patterns, you have to purchase those off of SnackTrap.com... But... I love em', every parent needs to get them!

If you have a child who is active or a wiggler, don't bother with these cups. My 11 month-old easily scatters the contents of this cup everywhere when she waves her arms or bangs the cup on the table. Munchkin's version is much better.

For the first couple of weeks the Snack Trap worked perfectly. After that, my daughter (7 months old) figured out how to remove the top (it is just a soft plastic cover like a tupperware, but easily removed), and we have since been struggling to keep her from dumping, throwing, or shaking the snacks all around the house.

On the positive side, the flaps for the top are very soft, and when she does reach in, there is no worry about her harming her hands or fingers. If only the lid had a locking mechanism or was screwed on, then this would work perfectly. As it is, my daughter loves it, but we hate cleaning up the mess.

The idea behind the Snack Trap is fantastic, but as the other reviewers have stated, the lid does not attach securely enough. I know it is just a matter of time before my little one pulls it off and I'm right back to where I started!

What a terrific invention!! We give our daughter all sorts of foods in these cups (Cheerios, Veggie Booty, Cheddar Bunnies, etc) and the innovative lids really help keep the mess to a minimum. Now that isn't to say we never have to clean Cheerios out of her carseat or stroller, because we definitely do! Still, she is by no means ready for a baggie or an open container, so without these containers she wouldn't be able to "snack on the go."

My daughter is almost 19 months old and cannot get the lid off the cup, but I have heard of children who can. I think my child is too interested in the food to spend time wondering about the lid!

My 11 month old daughter removed the lid within minutes and I had Cheerios everywhere. Since then if she doesn't take off the lid, she shakes it upside down to get the Cheerios out and scatters them everywhere that way.
I'll keep looking for a snack cup that she can use without making a mess.

It worked great the first time my 14 month old son used it but the second time, he figured out how to take the lid off and spilled his Cheerios everywhere. I tried it a few more times after that and got same result. The lid is WAY too easy to remove.
