Graduation day! It comes so often when you have a child. Bottle to sippy cup. Onesie to actual shirts. Increasing diaper sizes, and then diapers to potty. Graduation days are so fun as a parent, as you get to see your "little one" becoming a "bigger little one".

Then with pride you give your little one their first juice box! "So cute! She can use the straw! Listen to the way she says juthe box!" Then a few minutes later, from the other room you hear Mommy jump up and say "Don't squeeze it! Not on the couch!"

Their cute little hands, that are so good at learning the ways of the world, seem so content and elated squeezing the juice box to see the juice shoot out of the straw. Clever clever kid. Sticky sticky house.

KidProCo, LLC is clever as well. They have come up with a nice little device called the Squeeze-Free Juice Box Holder, that not only will your little one enjoy, but will assist in keeping your house and your childs hands less sticky.

An interlocking plastic container that the all juice box sizes fit inside, offers handles for the child to grasp their drink, while also offering a hard shell around the juice box to prevent "the big squeeze". Adorned with pictures of animals and children friendly imagery, such as polar bears, tigers and the like, the colorful boxes are fun enough to keep your child's interest without letting them know the real reason you have their drinks protected.

The holders are easy to operate with a button system on the side that allows two height settings, so all sizes of juice boxes as well as foil pouch drinks fit in the holder nicely. If you are worried that your child's clever hands may circumvent the Squeeze-Free Juice Box Holder, worry not. The box takes a grown up hand to open, as the push buttons on the side take a little more force than a small child can muster.

I am not calling my girl weak though! Have you ever seen how hard she can squeeze a juice box? Not any more you won't!

This is a clever tool that I would recommend to anyone who has juice boxes in the home, especially if you want to keep the messes to a minimum.
