It totally depends on...That's a great question. It totally depends on the situation and the child. I was trying this one out on my 15-month-old, and was sitting next to her the whole time. As for choking on a piece that came off, this is a flexible plastic. You would have to bend it repeatedly back and forth to get a piece broken off. I ended up having to get scissors to trim the end to make it fit in the box! <br /><br />I did the same thing with my 4-year-old, when she was 2 and I started her on picks. I'd only let her have them while with me, while supervised 100%, so I could ensure safe uses only, and remove them if she wasn't acting safely. She did not like having them confiscated, and being "punished" with no cute lunch the next day, and no picks for a week. <br /><br />Now I can send them with her to preschool with no worries. She knows not to play with them or wave them around, she knows not to poke anyone with them intentionally, and I know she's too selfish to let her friends hold one, so I don't have to worry about OTHER kids being unsafe with them. And she looooves her food, and is too focused on eating in the too-short time they give her to be playing with them. I also made sure to ask both preschools first, to avoid any problems.<br /><br />And no way are they poking each other yet. Baby can't reach Big Sis from where she sits to eat. And Z knows if she so much as points a pick at her sister, she's done with them for a week. It has never happened yet.<br /><br />A fork is a hazard, as is a butter knife. The opening in a soda can can slice an unwary finger. The pointy juice-box straw can injure a friend as well. So yes. Picks and skewers are a potential hazard. But only one of many. It all depends on the kid.Ludicrous Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808367296847075643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176009278173215772.post-32948192880961517422013-04-13T06:28:13.953-07:002013-04-13T06:28:13.953-07:00I love this lunch!

I understand it makes eating easier and probably fun. However doesn't anyone see this as a HUGE hazard for young kids?? 1 choking on a piece that may break off, 2 kids playing and poking each other with them? I'm not judging the use of them, I'm just concerned about safety! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
