Gerber Graduates Finger Food Fruit & Veggies Puffs Review Summary

A puffed up, perfect snack for babies and toddlers says many reviewers, of Gerber Puffs. These crunchy snacks come in fruity flavors such as Strawberry and Apple as well as Vegetable and Cheese. They are “perfect for little fingers to pick up,” and “dissolve easily” to keep parents from worries about choking, especially when introducing solid foods to baby. The “great taste” appeals to not only babies being introduced to solid food and toddlers, but even the “whole family enjoys” this “guilt free,” “convenient” and “time saving” snack. The one worry many reviewers had about this product was how to keep from eating it themselves! Small portions keep parents unworried about prices or sugar content, and many parents consider them the “perfect” snack. Read more great Baby Food Reviews and decide for yourself, if Gerber Puffs can stay on your shelf for very long.

Gerber is well known for its baby foods, life insurance, toddler foods and even feeding tools and drinking cups.   Gerber Finger Foods Veggie Puffs were not "around" when I was introducing my two older children to "real foods."  But I discovered these through a coupon from the Gerber website, which...

My 1 year old daughter loved the puffs. However, after several painful trials, we determined they seem to cause her to have diarrhea, and diaper rashes.  The BM's even when changed immediately, would leave her skin bright red and very tender.  Since she loved eating them, we tried several different...

We tried these on a whim once during a road trip from Georgia to Florida with my 4 and 2 year olds.  I needed a quick, easy, healthy, new snack that would satisfy them and keep them busy.  These little puffs are just fun to eat.  They are crunchy, light, and a good snack.  We have made them a regular part of our snack list now even two years later.  We'll all snack on them, even the dog has fun running around snatching up the little crunchies.  What else is cool is the container size.  It fits in the cars cup holder or easily into a diaper bag.  We started with the fruit, but have discovered... review »

 Gerber Graduates Finger Food Puffs are a wonderful thing to keep in the pantry for the kids!  Not only do they taste great, but they are loaded with whole grains, Iron, Zinc, and Vitamin E.  The Iron is for a healthy cognitive development, the Zinc is a major building block of a healthy immune system, and the Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. All these things help your toddler grow into a healthy young adult. In my family we believe that the beginning is when you really need to focus on brain growth and stong bones.  Gerber Graduates has a varity of things from puffs, which is like cearl,...

These are great little snacks.  My eldest loved all the different flavors, her favorite were the strawberry-flavored ones.  I absolutely love how they dissolve quickly, one of my biggest fears is that my children will choke on food, these make it a lot harder for that to happen.  My youngest will soon be able to eat finger foods and this will be one of the first items she has!  The only downside is that they are a little high in sugar, but this is designed as a snack, not a meal so as long as you don't let them eat the whole container in one day it shouldn't be an issue.

Another reason these...

When my little guy was finally able to go beyond jarred baby food, the first thing I tried were these Gerber Graduates Finger Food Puffs.  I figured since they dissolve in the mouth, they would be a perfect first snack. 

My son loves them.  I now carry them in my purse for those times when you are somewhere like a doctors office or restaurant and he wants to scream and make a fuss.  I also like the fact that they are made with real fruit and vegetables.  The only thing I don't like about them is that they are high in sugar.  Besides that, these are a great first snack.

These are a great first snack because they melt in your baby's mouth.  Just don't try them too young or they could choke.

My negative comment is that they are sooooo expensive.  As soon as you can, move on to cheerios or some other snack food!  Ounce for ounce, this has got to be one of the most expensive "cereals" on the market.  I haven't seen them anywhere for less than $2.00 and they come in a 1.48 oz package.

I would definitely recommend them for starting your baby on finger foods, as they can manage them fairly easily and you don't have to worry about them really choking (even when my little...

The Gerber graduate puffs are great for babies that are just learning to eat "real" food. They dissolve quickly in their mouths so you don't have to worry about choking hazards, and it still helps them learn how to chew and eat something other than baby food. Also a great finger food, helps babies learn the pincher grasp and be able to move food from a tray or table and into their mouths. Comes in a great plastic canister thats easy to throw in a diaper bag and take with you. They come in different fruit and veggie flavors, like sweet potato, cherry, banana, and apple cinnamon. The cherry seem...

Gerber Graduate fruit and veggie puffs are bite sized snacks which desolve in toddler's mouths when first learning to feed themselves. This is definitely a great product because they are not messy in the car or on the go and perfect as a quick snack for busy schedules. There are also several flavors to choose from so this product does not get monotonous as quickly as other brands might. The veggie puffs are also an awesome supplement for children that don't particularly like the taste of raw vegetables. The only concern I might have as a mother is that because the puffs are designed to dissolve...

I have been giving these Gerber puffs in all different flavors since my now two-year-old was about 6 or 7 months old.  She loved them from the beginning, and still asks for them when she sees them in the store.  I am surprised at how many of them she will actually eat.  I have to admit that I've tried them myself, and they are quite tasty- just the right mixture of real fruit flavor and sweetness.  In the beginning, my dauhter loved that she could pick them up and feed them to herself.  Now she loves that she can take the lid off and access them herself.  I wonder how long she'll be eating...

I love the Gerber Puffs.  They come in several flavors, and my child loves them all.  They are perfect for the inexperienced eater and the toddler.  They are especially ideal for taking along with you wherever you go.  I always throw a container in the bag when we are going out to eat; they make a great appetizer while waiting for the food to be served.  And the kids love them because it lets them feed themselves!  I've never had to worry about my kids choking on them because they dissolve very quickly.

My 7 month old son has 2 teeth and barely has 4 coming out on the top. This product (Gerber Graduate Puffs) is something that he loves. It disolves farely quickly in his mouth. It's something that he can pick up on his highchair and feed himself. He loves that! Plus instead of worry about taking cereal with you everywhere you go for quick trips, you can just put those in a bowl and bring them with you. It's alot easier. If he is eating them then they must be good! :-)

My toddler loves Cherrios so I thought we'd try these. Well to my horror she choked on them the few times I tried to feed them to her. I think it's because of the star shape they are in.I would recommend sticking to round finger foods.Plus they are way more than a box of Cherrios and have less nutrional value.
