Funny thing, out of all the vegies Eric only hates the potatoes :) Won't touch them, no matter in what form. Thanks for the tip - I will try the Baby Bjorn ones.

They are not plastic but rubber and have an adjustable neck strap. Check out the ones from Baby Bjorn. As for flying food, I totally agree: once it flies, the kids is not hungry anymore. Also, a big lesson I learned was that you should not force a kid to eat. Sometimes they are just not hungry. They will eat when they feel like it. And yes, that sometimes makes scheduling complicated, but after a while, they adapt. Oh and making them eat vegetables is just easy if you do not make a fuss about how good they are for them and trying to force them to eat them. If you're stuck you can always simply turn them into puree with potatoes. That always goes down :-) I have found pelican bibs that do fit perfectly well.
