Baby Products Reviews of Boon Snack Ball - Snack Container in Orange/Blue
Customer Review: LOVE this snack container!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perfect for toddlers who are careful enough to hold it without spilling but also interested in the novel design (about 2 yrs. old+)! My almost 3 yr. old has not tired of the fun design after using it for a year and loves to snack from it on walks and in the car. I thinks it's the perfect size; not too small as others have commented -- it is a SNACK ball after all! It fits great in my diaper bag -- you can always grab it in an over-stuffed bag, and it never lets crumbs out! My 1 yr. old loves it, too, although I of course can't give it to her unattended (but even snack traps are no match for a determined baby!). I have 4 and am buying 2 more since I'm constantly using them. The added bonus of this container is that you have a spur-of-the-moment toy for when you're waiting with the kids somewhere and need a diversion... DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.Customer Review: Good in theory
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this beacause I liked that it's made from a safer plastic unlikey to leach dangerous chemicals into my toddler's snacks. It's a cute design, easy to wash, and my son loves it for car rides! As others have mentioned, the hole is very small and my 18 month old isn't able to fit his hand in. This frustrated him at first, but he just learned to stick his fingers in to get his raisins, organic o's cereal, etc. He also got the hang of opening the lid on his own after a week or 2. My only complaint is that my son sometimes thinks he can throw this container since it is shaped like a ball, and we often have to fish the Boon Ball out from under the seats in our car.Customer Review: Nice idea but too many design flaws that make it impractical
Summary: 2 Stars
The number one problem is the round shape. While it looks cool, it has no flat part at all to it so if you set it down anywhere, it rolls. Set it on a table and it rolls and falls on the floor. That makes it really impractical and you're out and about. Second, the flip lid doesn't always stay closed, so if it's rolling around in your bag, it opens somewhat easy and spills items. Third, I think its use is mainly limited to transporting/storing the snack, not really to eat out of. The opening is big enough to pour but little hands can't really get in to pick things out. Overall, waste of money.Customer Review: It's a toy not a snack cup
Summary: 1 Stars
My son immediately tore the lid off the ball, then he shook it and threw it around, sending snacks flying everywhere, then he figured out how to unscrew the ball part and it was in two pieces. The Boon Snack Ball was entertaining for him but totally useless for snacks. Choosing design over function makes me feel like a yuppie idiot. (See my review of the horrid Keekaroo wood highchair). Lessons learned, I'm sticking with dorky uncool designs that actually work and make my SAHM life easier not harder!Customer Review: Good thought but they should keep trying...
Summary: 3 Stars
I love the fact that Boon products are free of the icky's (Phatlates and Bis-Phenol A. However I don't think that this product is very functional. My 11 month old can't fit his hand into the opening to grab his snack and hasn't mastered the concept of tilting the container until the snacks come out. We no longer use it for snacks. My son now rolls it around as he crawls. I think this container is cute but unfortunately it makes a better toy than it does snack container.
