 Good in theory April 24, 2008
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.
 Cool looking...but nobody can figure it out... April 5, 2008
I sent it to school with the kids...came home broken day 1.
People can't figure out how it's supposed to open for some reason...
Great Product March 2, 2008
I love this snack ball...
it is just that...it holds a good amount of snacks and keeps them fresh...and when it is closed, it is a great toy!
Well wort the $$
 Great for snacks, not for hands February 24, 2008

We bought this as an alternative to carrying snacks around in bisphenol and phthalate laden plastic containers. All of Boon's eating/drinking products are BPA and phthalate free, which is a must in our house.
This is a great little product to carry around small snacks like cheerios or crackers in. We have it with us at all times.
However, what I don't like:
The lid sometimes slides open in our diaper bag, which makes crumbs. The other drawback is the small opening. My 1 year old has a hard time fitting his hand in to grab a snack, so I'm guessing the problem will only get worse as he gets older. I would prefer he assert his independence and work on getting his own snacks. I don't mind handing him snacks, but at this age, they're all about doing it themselves, and I'd like to encourage that. I can't really do that with this snack ball.
 Could use some improvements January 19, 2008

I generally use ziploc baggies for snacks but decided it was time to find an alternative that wouldn't result in the snacks being turned to crumbs. The concept of this snack ball is great. However, I had a few problems with it. I thought it was a bit on the small side. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions. My 2 1/2 year old son can barely get his hand in the hole on the top to retrieve his snacks. It would be nice if there were 2 or 3 different sizes offered. This would definitly not be a good snack holder for older toddlers or preschoolers unless they have very small hands! He also had some trouble sliding the lid open himself. I would love to be able to hand it to him and allow him to open and close it on his own. Within 15 minutes of giving it to him, the orange lid popped off while he was trying to slide it open. It did pop back in quite easily but it was a bit frustrating. The lid also popped of when he dropped it. It would also be nice if the container had a small flat area on the bottom so it would sit flat. My son enjoys filling his own snack containers so it would be nice if the container could be placed on the counter for him to fill. There are also times when he sits it down without closing the lid. Since it rolls around this sometimes results in spilled snacks. My son did seem to like this product so that was a plus. Good concept but could use a few modifications.
