Gerber Graduates Fruit Strips Real Fruit Bars are one of my toddler's favorite snacks. I like that the flavoring that is present in these fruit bars is from other natural flavors. I feel comfortable making this part of my toddler's diet because the ingredients are all natural and these fruit bars do not contain preservatives. It is essential that I am comfortable with the ingredients listed on the foods that my toddlers eats and I am very comfortable with the components of the real fruit bars. The only quality that I do not like about these fruit bars is that they are very sticky even before my toddler's saliva mixes with the fruit bar. These are not a great choice for travel or for the car because of the "sticky factor". He has gotten wet pieces of these fruit bars stuck in his hair and they are very hard to remove. I have to wipe his face and hands multiple times after he eats one of these real fruit bars. The quality is definitely there but these real fruit bars are definitely a snack for home rather than for travel.

These fruit snacks are nice and soft for kids. I was surprised when I bought these that they were nice and soft and I did not feel like they were a choking hazard. I was pleased with the taste, I tried them myself. They were not that leathery hard to chew texture, they were soft melt in your mouth type of fruit bar. My son loved eating these and I felt good about giving them to him. These were like a special treat. The quality of the ingridents were good, they tasted like real fruit. Quality of Ingredients Glad that they have more fruit in them then other types. Great surprise snack for that is healthy and you can feel good about giving the kids. Safety Felt like they were easy to chew and melted a bit in your mouth. They were not hard to bite off either. I thought that they were not a chocking hazard because they were so soft. Although I think it would be better for toddlers with teeth to eat these, not for the younger ones.

my 13 month old is a very picky eater and at Halloween a neighbor gave us some of these for the first time and we were hooked.  I always taste "goodies" that I'm not sure of for safety because of choking hazards being that I work in a hospital and I know how easy it can be for a child to choke when you aren't paying attention.  When I tasted these it melted almost as soon as it touched my tongue.  It wasn't overly sweet like it was made of pure sugar like the fruit roll ups we had as kids growing up, but like the real fruit leather my mom used to make me, and better yet, the baby really liked it to.  So when I went out and bought it, I give her some of it and I make her share it with mommy!

I bought these Gerber Graduates Fruit Strips on a whim while at the grocery store one day and am glad I gave them a try. They come in a handy individual wrapper for each one and seem to have a good fruit flavor to them. They are sweet, but not too sweet, and are approved by my very picky toddler. They are pretty small though and there are only a few in a box, making them pretty expensive for the small amount that you are getting. I have tried other brands of fruit strips, which are cheaper, but end up buying these Gerber ones again because they have a decent amount of Vitamin C in them and have real fruit, without too much sugar in them. They can get pretty sticky though, especially when they have been slobbered upon and being played with by a curious toddler. They are handy to store in my purse as an emergency snack. I plan to continue to buy these, though I wish there were more flavors to try. I recommend these to others.

I love Gerber Graduates Fruit Strips Real Fruit Bars. My daughter is eighteen months and absolutely adores this very appetizing snack! As a mother, I really how they are made from real fruit, that they are healthy and I especially like how they are individually wrapped which makes it easy for long car or shopping trips with the little one. These fruit strips smell delicious and are soft and moist. They aren't really messy when eaten with supervision, otherwise they could goop up in the carpet or something. The Gerber Graduates Fruit Strips are yummy and very flavorful that it will leave your toddler wanting more! The cons with this product is that they are tremendously expensive for what you get, they don't last very long and there aren't very many flavor varieties. Overall, if you're willing to spend the extra buck it's a great and healthy snack for your toddler. Probably worth it if used on the go!

Gerber fruit strips are 100% real fruit, very hard to find, but taste very good.  My 14 month old daughter loves them.  And would eat just them for a meal if I'd let her.  Very good flavor as well as good for you.  Always nice to find something good for you and tastes good too!!!  My daughter loves them, and Gerber is a name you can trust with your child.  Thank you for your dependable natural approach to my child's well being, and health.  We love Gerber products, and always know what we're getting when we buy this exceptional name brand.

We just tried them last week and really like them.  At first, we ripped it apart for our daughter to eat thinking they were just like fruit rollups (choking hazard).  Eventually, we let our daughter just have the strip and she does great with it.  The strip is very soft.  Not the same texture as fruit rollups at all.  I really like that they are not loaded with sugar.

A healthy and exciting way to give kids their fruit. Looks like candy but it's not. Even the adults in the group find themselves sharing this delious treat with their children. It's a great way to promote healthy eating through example.

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with the **Gerber Graduates Fruit Strips**, I would not recomend this product.  My daughter did not like these and we found what I think is a superior product, the Fruit Bu Smushed Fruit. I was excited to try this product as I got a great coupon and I got it for a small amount of change.  Unfortunately their were many issues with the product.  It was not up to our expectations and after many messy attempts my daughter still did not find it appealing. This product was also very difficult to find. I had to go to many stores to find it and then the flavor offerings were very limited.  Since my daughter is allergic to strawberries, the selection was even slimmer. If you do decide to try this product, find out the return policy of the store, sometimes they will take back products that you do not like.  That way if your little one does not like it, there is no real loss except a few minutes of your time to return the product.  Also they offer coupons on the web site, beware though if you sign up for it they will bombard you with life insurance information for your little one, or at least I have had that experience.
