Difference between stage 1,2,3 foods

I have a question....

Is there a difference between stage 1 and 2 foods, other than the size of the container?

I'm assumming stage 3 food is chunkier? When should you be switching stages?

TIA!

From Gerber's FAQ site...

What is the difference between 1st FOODS®, 2nd FOODS™ and 3rd FOODS™?

1st FOODS® are single-ingredient fruits and vegetables. The food is pureéd for easy swallowing.

2nd FOODS™ include many fruits and vegetables your baby enjoyed in the 1st FOODS® line, but there are many new flavors and combinations of ingredients. The food is smooth-textured and comes in larger servings.

3rd FOODS™ are ideal for feeding your baby in the transition to table-type foods. They have more texture and may include tiny particles that help babies learn to mash food with their gums.
