We mostly just have crumbs so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2478060 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 08:08:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 2478060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. He has a waffle and applesauce pouch on the way to school and a few pretzels on the way home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2478050 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:56:56 +0000 cat620 2478050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it keeps him happy during long car rides </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2478030 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:39:52 +0000 brownepiano 2478030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. He's pretty grumpy if he doesn't get his meals and snacks at the right time. I usually just give him a snack if it is snack time or start his lunch if we are driving home at lunch time (it also helps him stay awake when it is too close to nap time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2478026 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:35:22 +0000 looch 2478026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Choking risk is too high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477909 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 22:25:40 +0000 Kemma 2477909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just dry stuff like crackers or muesli bars, and only water. I'm currently trying to reduce the a,punt of food that gets eaten on short trips unless I know she's definitely hungry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477882 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:41:30 +0000 gingerbebe 2477882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do dry neat snacks like puffs, rice cakes, and water. Sometimes he gets some clementine segments. DS has a car seat mirror I can look at him with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477881 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:41:02 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2477881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: lol that's why we do it too. I've totally made space in the budget in order to grab some fast food after church juts to keep DD awake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477879 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:37:52 +0000 youboots 2477879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. The choking risk scares me. She can drink all she wants back there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477866 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:22:50 +0000 ShootingStar 2477866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Frozen :wink: </p> <p>We do sometimes on the weekend. We tend to run around a lot do I'll give him a snack cup full of Cheerios and raisins, or some peanut butter crackers split into pieces. His seat isn't too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477864 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:18:26 +0000 winniebee 2477864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh yeah. How else do you keep toddlers happy in the car?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477857 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:05:47 +0000 pregnantbee 2477857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477853 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:02:43 +0000 honeybear 2477853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we don't drive that much and I am kind of strict about eating only at the table/mealtimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477851 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:02:15 +0000 Purpledaisy 2477851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. That's a battle that I'm not willing to fight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477845 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:58:14 +0000 catomd00 2477845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only in emergencies. She's RF and I'm afraid of choking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477840 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:48:10 +0000 MrsRcCar 2477840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. However I wish I had never let my little guy eat in his. He is a very messy eater and his seat is so gross. 😭😭😭<br /> My older guy is super clean and his seat is mostly clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477837 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:40:54 +0000 autumnlove 2477837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually but my husband is ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477831 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:22:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 2477831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I try to make sure and do non messy things- no milk ever, rarely pouches. It's sort of messy but not too bad. Often I give her something if it's getting close to nap time and I need to make sure she stays awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477828 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:13:27 +0000 mrsrain 2477828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost exclusively no, due to choking concerns. If we are out as a family or on a road trip and she needs to eat, we only allow it if one of us is sitting in the back with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477827 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:11:06 +0000 Lilbear 2477827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am way too paranoid about choking and I am super anal about car cleanliness, so we almost never allow it. Once in a blue (like once every 2-3 months) I will let DD have a trader joes fruit bar (which is like a flat 1" x 3" fruit roll up type snack). She loves them and will devour them instantly, so there aren't any crumbs or pieces laying around afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477816 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:56:36 +0000 erinbaderin 2477816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, but mostly just cereal or goldfish - things that can be easily swept/vacuumed out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477814 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:55:42 +0000 Mae 2477814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically every day lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477809 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:52:55 +0000 AB810 2477809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a no eating in the car rule unless we're on a long road trip and I'm back there with her. Mostly due to choking concerns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477808 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:49:49 +0000 Glitter 2477808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all the time! If he's alone back there I make sure its not something that is a choking hazard since I'm not right there to monitor how much he stuffs into his mouth (21 mnths old) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477807 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:48:42 +0000 stargal 2477807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>glad im not the only one! my seats are a disaster from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477804 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:44:43 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2477804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On long trips (we usually go around nap time) we will give him a small snack when he wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477803 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:42:05 +0000 avivoca 2477803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Her seat is so gross, but she's happy. I need to brush the crumbs out of it and probably wash it soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477799 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:34:22 +0000 artsyfartsy 2477799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Leads to nasty car seats but a happy child </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477796 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:31:22 +0000 regberadaisy 2477796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, there is no time in the morning and they will get a bowl of cereal at home and something car friendly in the car. They both also immediately need a snack in the car at pickup despite eating a afternoon snack at daycare.</p> <p>The car seats are a mess but I don't care. They're hungry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-in-the-carseat#post-2477789 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:25:05 +0000 bushelandapeck 2477789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do....but I wish we never had. Our seats are a mess and they always want to eat on the car now, even for very short car rides. </p>
