Review: Munchkin Snack Catcher Snack Cups (2-Pack)
The Munchkin Snack Catcher is a small snack cup with a soft-flap lid that lets toddlers feed themselves. We used our first sets for a couple of years, and this is our honest take.
The short version: it is simple, it is easy to use, and it does what it is supposed to do.

What we like
It is simple and easy to use. There is nothing to figure out. The lid lifts off, you fill the cup with a snack, and you put the lid back on.
Each cup has two handles, which gives small hands something to hold on to.
It stops the snack dump. The biggest win for us is that it keeps our little one from dumping the whole snack out. The soft flaps let a small hand reach in and pull out a few pieces, and the rest stays in the cup.
It works the way it should. The cup does exactly what it says it will do. We have nothing to complain about in how it works.
What to know before you buy
It is plastic, so it will not last forever. We bought new sets after a couple of years. For a cup that gets handled by a toddler every day, that felt fair to us.
The lid is a snack lid, not a sealed cover. The flaps hold snacks in while your child eats, but there is no solid cover to close the cup up completely.
Cleaning is easy. The cups are top-rack dishwasher safe. They are not made for the microwave.
Who it is for
The Snack Catcher is made for ages 12 months and up. It is a good fit for a toddler who wants to hold a snack and eat it without help.
Each cup holds up to 9 ounces and fits most standard cup holders, so it can ride along in a car, a car seat, or a stroller. There is also a space on the base to write your child’s name.
Our verdict
The Munchkin Snack Catcher is simple, easy to use, and works as it should. It keeps the snack in the cup instead of on the floor, and we have no complaints.
Plan on replacing the cups after a couple of years. We liked ours enough to buy them again.
