What non messy snacks do you feed your kid when out & about? (Other than Cherrios, Mum mums or Puffs.)

M loves Mum mums. & I love that they aren't messy but they're kid of pricey for the amount that you get & how long they last.

We've tried crackers & they make a huuuuuge mess.

    We do Cheerios, Baby Goldfish (they're smaller than regular goldfish so they don't make as much of a mess) and Teddy Grahams.

    We've done grapes (cut in half) and cubes of cheese, those aren't too terribly messy. Blueberries too, but had to stop once DS discovered the fun of squishing them all over.

    I also always have a container of applesauce in the diaper bag. It's messy, so would have to sit down to feed them, but it's a room temperature snack I can be sure to always have on hand.

    Puffed corn (bigger pieces than cheerios and less smooshing potential). String cheese (I hand her pieces), the crunchy baked pea pods from Trader Joes.

    We usually just carry around a container of cheerios and some animal crackers, or the Gerber biter biscuits, but those can get a bit messy and soggy.  Maybe buy some dried fruit peices?

    I'm all about marshmallows (they're my favorite!) but they're a pretty serious choking hazard for babies... be careful with that.

    This wouldn't be a great on-the-go option, but I keep a big bag of frozen fruit for at home snacks. I can pull out just a few pieces and let them defrost a tad in the microwave.

    Cheerios, raisins, and pieces of string cheese are our snack staples, and none of these are technically messy.  Though squished raisin is a little difficult to get out of carpet.  We also do cut grapes and other cut fruits, but it might be a little harder to bring with you.
