Feeding a toddler is an exercise in patience. They can be so darn messy and there isn't much you can do about it because that's where they are development-wise and telling them to be careful or neater is downright silly because they're doing the best they can.
That doesn't mean you can't enlist the help of some genius products.

SipSnap
The SipSnap is genius invention that will turn any cup into a spill-proof sippy cup. It's available for preorder now and will start shipping out in September. It's also available in a straw lid version. Double Double, $21 for a set of 3 with carrying case
Mutsy Grow-up Booster
I prefer booster seats over high chairs. This particular design is small and lighweight, which makes it easy to take with you to, say, abuela's house. Mutsy, $70
Lunchskins
No, this isn't a flat square soccer ball, it's a reusable sandwich bag. Great for packing to go lunches or snacks for your kiddo. They come in different patterns and sizes. Lunchskins, $9
Ooga Silicone Bowls
These silicone bowls won't break, chip or make loud noises when they are hurled across a crowded restaurant accidentally dropped. Ooga, $9
Ooga Mealtime Set
This mealtime set is awesome. Look at how cute the two spoons are. Your child will not want to let go of them and hopefully that will keep them off the ground. Ooga, $17
