Quick Tops: another way to beat the spills

It's one of the eternal characteristics of kids that sets a parent's teeth on edge: their capacity to create spills, drips, crumbs and stains. In previous Babygadget posts, we've brought your attention to two juice-box holders, the Dwink and the Juice Box Buddy, and even an invention to stop ice lollies dripping (Lickety Sips ). So, clearly, the drip problem is on a lot of manufacturers' minds, too. Quite right too: if you can find a way to make mums and dads relax a little more, you're on your way to making a fortune.

Now here's the equally useful Quick Top can sealer. Because the horror of the drip does not end with the juice packet. As your child gets older, cans of drink provide a whole new set of ways to make you tense, from the pure waste of a half-drunk can going flat, to the fact that you just know a stray foot is going to send it flying eventually.

These nifty gadgets transform a can into a screw-top bottle, meaning your child can have a little and then reseal it tightly. At picnics, in the car, or around the house - you'll soon be thinking this is the best £6.99 you ever spent.
