Introducing the amazing Raccoon...I mean, Snack Trap!



Well this is a neat item to add to our arsenal of baby gear. Although originally invented hundreds of years ago for the purpose of catching raccoons, it has somehow made it's way into the feeding aisle of our local Babies R Us. It's official name is The Snack Trap, however, we have lovingly dubbed it the Baby Raccoon Trap. Kasey has been gracious enough to model it for us. It is a snack cup, with a soft plastic lid. The lid is cut in such a way to allow a child to put their hand in and get out a snack, however, even when turned upside down, the snack won't spill. We've even run a few tests to prove it. Today it has been vigorously shaken upside down, thrown and kicked across the room multiple times, as well as taken a trip down a flight of steps. It even seems to be impenetrable by our dog, Butch. However, this could be on account of his very short "snoot". Will try with a labrador at a later time...
