Keep your sanity! No Throw review *Giveaway closed*

Along comes a long weekend- you're excited about the time off, going to visit friends/family, going out for meals and taking long walks in the sunshine. But... something consistently breaks your stride:

All parents know the hassle of the toss-fetch game. You know the one- your toddler discovers the joy in making you pick up their toy/sippy cup/cookie and makes you do it over, and over, and over again.
Yes, I know it’s a sign of development and ‘good for them’ but it gets tiring [not to mention messy and expensive!]. So what solution did identical twins Karla and Karen come up with??

Let’s start with the ‘why’: when their children were first born these sisters lived within a mile of each other. A few years later Karla moved a few states away… each sister had problems traveling- Karen’s son Alex would throw his sippy cup all over the car and Karla’s son Danny would chuck his bottle around the plane!

After an exceptionally embarrassing flight for Karla they came up with the ‘No Throw’ [as in “Danny/Alex! NoThrow your bottle/cup!”].

The NoThrow works by tightening the Velcro leash around the object you’re wanting to secure [sippy cup, teddy bear, toy], and then slipping the handle over the seat belt before buckling them in! [highchair, carseat, stroller, etc]

Twin Beginnings LLC sent me a NoThrow to try- we received the Orange with Butterflies [cute!] and the Blue with Sports.
Ladybug’s been enjoying the toss game lately, so we were quite intrigued by the concept of the No Throw. We weren’t disappointed! As you can see, Ladybug tested it out to the fullest extent… no dirty, scratched or missing sippy cup! YES!


We love ours. Please note- in the pictures we’ve attached ours differently than instructed- as our stroller tray is so far from the seat, we chose to loop the Velcro end through the handle [tightening around the tray] before attaching to the cup. Normally you’d thread the harness strap through the loop on the end. For us, both ways are helpful!
These can be used on highchairs, car seats, strollers, etc- awesome. Simply awesome!

After reading all about this I’m sure you’re intrigued… guess what?! Twin Beginnings LLC has generously offered one of my readers a No Throw of their choice!
