Crocodile Creek Snack Keeper Sets

I purchased 2 of these for my kids' lunches. We use them EVERY day. They hold up well and my kids have NO trouble opening them. I usually put black olives or berries in this container, the size is perfect. I wish they would come in solids without a print as my older kids don't want the cutesy princess or whatever. The robot was the least offensive to them. I hand wash at the end of each day and they are ready to go again.

These snack containers are so cute and just the right size for a toddler or preschooler-sized snack. There's only one problem...a toddler or preschooler will be unable to open the container! Even this preschooler's mom has trouble opening it without tipping it, and once there's a snack in it, tipping it can make the snack fall out. Snack keeper is a good name, since if you want to keep your snacks off the floor, you'll need to keep them in the container...permanently.

I"m going to send a note to crocodile creek with this feedback...it'll be interesting to hear what they have to say. Surely these things were tested before they were released, so I can't imagine how no one noticed how nearly impossible they are to open!

Addendum: I just put some big pretzels (should try goldfish for a better test) in the container and asked my 4 year old to open it for me. He's pretty good with little fidgety things, and he was able to hold it down on the table securely with one hand and open the latch with the other. (He's had the container for a few days, so he may have figured it out over time) It was hard for him and I suspect that there will be times that his hands will slip and the container and snacks will go flying. So I'm adding one more star, but I still hope the company will redesign these so the closure is easier to operate.

Right after I reviewed these, we went out to run an errand at a local store. I took some snacks with us and out them in one of these containers. It broke In half in my hands! Very upset abut this as we just bought these. We are now down to one, and I don't know if I want to buy anymore of these.
