Blissful Tot Organics Stage 4 Child Meals Pouches, Gluten Free, Vegan Snack, SuperFoods Fruit & Veggie Puree, Apples, Candy Potatoes, Carrots, Cinnamon & Chia, 4.22 Ounce (Pack of 16)

Great for kids, perfect for travel, what’s not to like?
This is for HappyBaby Happy Tot fruit pouches. These are excellent for kids. My 2 year old loves it. She asks for it every morning and everytime she takes a bath. It’s great – totally organic with all natural ingredients and no harmful chemicals, GMO’s or preservatives! It does not need to be refridgerated so wont take up space in your fridge (although once it’s opened it does, as do most products). It’s great for kids at least half a year old and is recommended by the well known Dr. Sears, TV personality, author, and acclaimed professor at UC Irvine.The container is well made and does not flap around. It can stand up on its own as it has a base that is round and designed to stand up – other containers will lay flat and leak out when the child puts the pouch down. It also has a brighly colored plastic cap that, before opening for the first time, cannot be removed by a small child. You will need to open it for them. The cap is large enough that small 2 year old hands can manipulate it open and closed without much difficulty. The cap is also color coded to match the packaging design, so you can easily and quickly identify which one you want. Likewise, the packaging is colorful and well designed. It shows pictures of the fruit on the side and writing for the adults so you can choose your variety.The fruit variety is tasty. I have sampled some of it and found it to be pretty good for smoothies and adult meals! Regardless, it’s a child’s drink, so the focus is on how much the children enjoy it. I find that no child has objected to the flavor, although some flavors certainly get unique – who would want to eat broccoli and pear together? Butternut squash and apple is certainly a savory combination. Spinach and mango? Doesnt matter. My kids love all flavors. Sure, some have preferences, but these are great combinations and are supremely healthy.Speaking of which, I had no clue what Salba was, so I googled it.[…] Evidently it’s a SUPER healthy grain that is an excellent source of Omega 3’s, fiber, magnesium, calcium, antioxidants, folate, and dietary fiber. Evidently it’s also better than Chia and Flax seeds as well. This all comes from the Salba website so it’s obviously to be taken with a grain (no pun intended!) of salt, but still, that sounds fantastic to me. Surely this cant hurt a growing child’s system!While other reviewers have noted that this product is available for cheaper at Target for $1.09 per pouch. I have not been to the Target store lately so I cannot verify that, but I did a price comparison on Target’s online website. […]) Again, I did not go into the store – you might be able to find this in the store for cheaper. As of 6/7/12, the cheapest pack was $10.16 cents for Spinach, Mango and Pear, and Broccoli, Pear and Peas, or $20.32 for 16 of them. In my state, we have 6% sales tax ($1.22), which turns that total into $21.54 for a 16 pack, or $1.34 per drink. Compare that to Amazon’s price, which is $19.20 (no sales tax) for SMP and $19.86 for BPP. You can also sign up with subscribe and save, which will yield a 15% discount, or a total of $16.32 for SMP, or $16.88 for BPP. That’s a savings of $3.44 to $4 total, or over a quarter for each item. Green Beans, Pears and Peas sells for $19.52 or $16.59 for S&S on Amazon, vs. $24.25 at Target (online pricing, but I added sales tax), which is a $7.66 price difference! Again, these are NOT in-store prices, just online prices.You should be aware that there is a recall on some HappyBaby pouches. Pay attention to those expiring between November 2010 and January 2011. The press release indicates that nobody has been hurt and no harmful bacterias have been found. ([…] In fact, one of my pouches started swelling up, so I threw it out, but my daughter enjoyed the rest of the pouches from that batch (I sampled them to be sure) and was fine. I just assumed it was a bad pouch but now I know that there’s a recall, so I will be keeping an eye out, as you should. Does not mean you should give these up – there have not been any harmful effects and it appears to be a bad batch which the company has corrected.

Healthy, tasty & convenient!
My children have been sucking down these pouches since 1 year old and continue to enjoy them at 3 1/2 years old. I’ve tried them and they taste like cinamon apple sauce with a carrot flavor. They are super convenient for on the go and easy to eat- like sucking on a straw. My kids made a bit of a mess when first starting out with these as they would squeeze them a bit to vigorously, but they quickly got the hang of them. They make my life a whole lot easier when I’m getting my 1 1/2 year old strapped into his car seat (which he hates) as its a yummy distraction. I love that they are organic & healthy too! They also really like the spinach & mango flavor. I’ve never had an issues with purchasing or the quality of this product.

LOVE Happy Baby!
My daughter is now 2 and we have been buying Happy Baby product from Amazon since she was 6 months old. They almost always have the best price and best selection! These are the best portable snack for a active toddler! My daughter loves the taste and I love that it is a healthy snack. A added benefit I have found is that the extra fiber helps keep her digestive track in check. She has had constipation problems since around a year and these have been the key to keeping her comfortable. For the best price Join Amazon Mom and subscribe and save. Lifesaver for those of us who live in Very rural communities!
