toddler friendly snacks
DS is 15 months old and LOVES to eat! He is a great eater, and we have no problems with fruits & veggies, he also loves cheese, yogurt, meat, etc. Now that he is older and we rarely spend a whole day at home anymore, I am looking for some good snacks to keep in the diaper bag. He isn't interested in puffs anymore, and very rarely will he eat yogurt melts or those pouches. He does like the Annie's Bunny Grahams and the Earth's Best cereal bars. Any other ideas? I was thinking of trying the Happy Baby organic version of those cheese/veggie puffs, and the plum fruit snacks. TIA!

I do yogurt melts or the fruit pouches. Have you tried those? I get the organic ones at BJ's.
DD also looooves the Gerber banana cookies

DD likes pretzel rods that she can hold in her hand (I scrape the salt off before giving it to her) and sometimes Goldfish.

Re: toddler friendly snacks
Try different cereals... Cheerios, Kix, just bought Nature's Path Flax plus Bran flakes at Trader Joe's and DD eats them like they're candy!
Agree with goldfish, pouches, applesauce, cheese, half a banana...

My DS loves the organic Grammy Sammy's (they come in a bunch of different flavors and I've gotten them in target, BBB and BRU), we also like the natures promise veggie sticks, and the Annie's snacks.

Thanks everyone! We do have the Ella's Kitchen cookies and the nature's promise cinnamon graham cracker sticks. I will keep a look out for grammy sammy's, and maybe I will try the Annie's cheddar bunnies as a goldfish alternative. I tried the fiddlesticks, he spit them out. Luckily he is a good eater overall, just not big into snack foods.

i was told that the fruit pouches are addicting and not so good for toddlers, it can interfere with their consumption of regular foods....have you had any issues with that?

Re: toddler friendly snacks
DS loved the fruit pouches from about 9-14 months. We would buy the Earth's Best, Plum, or Happy Baby pouches. They were offered as a snack, once a day, never as a meal, because DS has always been a great eater so he ate table food at meals. Now at 15 months, I have some in the diaper bag for when we are out and he usually shuns them for textured food. So in our case, they were not addictive and did not interfere with his meals. BUT, I could see how this may be a problem for children who are not good eaters at meal times.
