Hi
Has anyone here found the ultimate, mess-free (or relatively so) snack to give to a child in a car? If so, please share! Thanks -- Alex cheg_uevara"AT"hotmail"DOT"com |

No crumbs, and if they are dropped, you just pick up dry cheese in a day/week/month/year. Alas, my kids only eat fresh curds, which can't be bought at the grocery store. Scott DD 10 DS 7 |

Also, not from experience, I'd imagine most raw vegetables (carrots, cut and seeded peppers, celery sans leaves, etc.) are okay.

That is a tall order. Prior to the age of two, it is amazing what is
messy. I think one of my kids made a mess with noodles (without sauce) that took and hour to clean up. Anyway, I have had the most success with icey drinks from about 18 months or so. Jamba Juice has always been a very popular choice. Fruit leather is also a good choice. Overall I try to minimize snacks in the car for safety reasons--particuarly when it is just the kids and I. Most foods pose some kind of choking risk and I am a bit paranoid about the possibility of having to stop the car to administer the heimlich maneuver. Karen K |

Oh my lord, have you ever had to mop up a Jamba Juice smoothie out of cloth upholstery? That would be about the LAST thing I would recommend. They are soooo sticky! And you can't get them out of the cloth seats so the smell gets kind of putrid and starts to attract fruit flies. Can you tell I've btdt? :-) I've totally given up on having a clean car. It's impossible. Get floor mats, cover the seats with towels (thich ones), and wash the towels when they get particularly disgusting. Keep the car until it dies. Then throw it out. :-) Marjorie |
