Yes, the great thing is there are tons of fabulous options out there for
healthy crackers and we're not limited to just two types on the shelves any
more.  We like to give our 18 month old lots of different kinds of healthy
snacks but I've found that healthy cracker type snacks are the way to go for
the car since we're just dealing with crumbs and not weird smudges or
stickiness on his car seat.  I'll do the yogurt melts as well but I just
hand him one at a time to eat and they're great because they're a freeze
dried yogurt snack that is healthy and convenient.

Besides, Goldfish are expensive.  You can buy thirteen ounces of Cheez-Its
for the same price as two ounces of Goldfish.  We started telling Sarah that
Cheez-Its are square fish, so now that's what she calls them, and she's none
the wiser.
