Inflatable fruit carriers

The original Banana Guard is pretty old news these days, so if the novelty's worn off but you'd still like your kid to have some enthusiasm for his playtime fruit, these inflatable fruit carriers from the Great Little Trading Company might help. The little clip is a nice detail: even if your child doesn't like to carry a bag, you can attach the fruit somewhere.

Yes, design purists out there are not going to buy them for their looks, but if they keep your fruit from getting bruised and they amuse your child so much he eats his five-a-day, then it won't kill you to keep them at the back of the cupboard until you need them. Will it?
