Thank you very much for the opportunity to take part in this product test. It has been a huge success here as you will see from my answers. Thank you also for the coupons towards the toddler meals. We look forward to trying them.

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?
Extremely satisfied. My DS has a really sweet tooth, which I constantly battle against. I was very sceptical when I tried them that he would like them but he absolutely loves them.

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?
Yes definitely.

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
Yes absolutely and I actually have already. What's not to love about them? The lack of sugar and junk, the fact they are dairy and wheat free are all massive plus points for me.

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?
He loves all of them. I tried them too and probably found the vanilla the most bland, but that's more than likely because I was expecting it to be very sweet. My DS hasn't shown a preference for any flavour and is equally excited whichever packet comes out of the cupboard!

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
I don't specifically buy him sweet snacks but he will (for shame) happily tuck into ordinary sweet biscuits if we have any in the house. Otherwise he enjoys yoghurt and fruit.

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Normally just breadsticks and Pom Bears.

First and foremost the ingenious little sticker to reseal the bag- Thank you my DC destroys the bag but eats only a few at a time (she likes to save them for later) and for once I didn't find them all over the bottom of the nappy bag genuinely genius mummy friendly idea.

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?
Massively satisfied tasty not mushy and even the mother in law likes them - got a compliment.

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?
Definitely I spend a fortune on snacks and treat pack and these are great and she loves them.

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
I already have recommended them

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?
Ginger - We opened the big box together and she went straight for the ginger ones and demolished a packet.

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
raisins, Paws, apple flakes, yogurts, rice cakes - everything

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old
ritz and cracker

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go
Very satisfied- both DC loved them, DS ages 4 especially loved the packaging, animal characters and stickers

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?
Yes- definitely

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
Yes- loved the handy size bags, re-sealable stickers, easy for 1 year old DD to hold herself, and pretty healthy snack with no unnecessary added sugar

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?
The vanilla ones

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Organix goodies gingerbread men and alphabet biscuits, bear yo yos, Apple rice cakes, Ella's kitchen baby biscuits, raisins, fruit smoothie pouches

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Pom bears, kiddilicious carrot baby wafers, bread sticks, organix goodies carrot puffs, spicy stars and other baby crisps, Ella's kitchen cheese and leek puff crisps

1 v satisfied! Stickers and vouchers an added bonus. Individual packets good for freshness.

2 yes. Healthy snack, no "mum guilt"

3 they all went down so couldn't say! I like the ginger flavour for kids as it seems less sweet than vanilla or fruit, even if that's just in my mind.

4 Bear yoyos. Ellas cookies. Organix gingerbread men. Raisins

5 rice cakes. Jacobs crackers.

Just seen Q2 is dduplicated. Yes I would recommend them. I already have!

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos? Very Satisfied, my daughter seemed to enjoy all three flavours. She was also very taken with the stickers on the backs on packets... although she wanted to wear them rather than use them to reseal the pack!

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not? Yes

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why? Yes. Firstly because my daughter enjoyed them and secondly because I think there can sometimes be a bit of mum-guilt about giving too many biscuits/sweet snacks and it's reassuring that these ones are a bit healthier.

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour? She enjoyed all three, but I think the ginger ones seemed to go the quickest!

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old? Kiddylicious snacks (various), Organix oat bars, Bear paws, raisins and fruit.

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old? vegetable sticks, cheese, hard boiled eggs.

Thank you for the opportunity to try these out :)

I was really glad to be included. My DS is so fussy that its great being able to try new things for him. Luckily he loved them and asked for them so much we had to keep hiding the boxes.

The packaging is attractive and I loved the sticker - DS would insist on me wearing it not him. The portion size looks reasonable but they are actually very filling and DS usually only managed 1/2 to 2/3 of a pack before saying he was full.

The biscuits themselves are small and there are lots of them. This meant they took a while to eat which is great. I actually managed a hot cup of tea in the time it took for DS to eat what he wanted. This means they are not so great when you are trying to give them a quick snack before rushing out somewhere.

They tasted quite bland to me which is what I would want for a toddler. Some of the other snacks he eats taste too sweet.

The voucher in the box is much appreciated. We are planning on getting some Little Dish meals on our next shop.

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?
Very. Liked the inclusion of flax and chia. Its much easier than trying to get flax oil into a small child! They think they are getting a biscuit but you know they are getting something good inside them.

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?
Yes, definitely.

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
I would, for all the points above. My DS liked them and so did I so I would imagine other would too.

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?
I think he liked all the flavours fairy equally as when they were tipped into a bowl he seemed happy with any but he kept asking for the vanilla ones because he liked the blue packaging.

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Organix oaty bars, Aldi fruit bars, fruit and dried fruit, flavoured rice cakes

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
bread sticks, rice cakes, Organix crisps

Thanks for sending us the gogos to test Little dish.

Q1 I was very satisfied with the go go's. Nice packaging. Nice size snack both individual biscuits and the portions. Overall all good.

Q2 Yes if acceptably priced.

Q3 All of them. My son loves his food and liked all of them. Tried to get him to pick a flavour but then he kept saying they all were raspberry. What can I say... He's a 2 year old. I found the biscuits healthy tasting and quite bland, but they aren't meant for me. Still morish though!

Q4 organix oaty bars when on offer, malt loaf, dried fruit, flavoured rice cakes, fruit, plain digestives.

Q5 bread sticks, rice cakes, crudités, homous, cheddars, organix crisps

Really liked the sticker to seal up part eaten packets of biscuits.

Thanks again !

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?
The packaging was nice and I liked the handy little bags, was impressed with some Flavors but not others. 

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?
Maybe

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
Possibly however I think there are stronger products already on the market 

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?
Raspberry by a mile she didn't like the ginger or the vanilla, I tried them myself out of curiosity and I have to agree with her, the vanilla ones were very bland couldn't taste any vanilla and they were a tad like eating cardboard. The ginger ones were okay but not overly tasty but the raspberry were very nice 

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Dried and fresh fruit, organix biscuits 

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Breadsticks, rice and corn cakes, cheese cubes, goodies puffs

Oh and the reason I have put some possible product ideas as unappealing in the survey is because I make these at home... Eg soups and pasta sauces low in salt

I'll try again.

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?

Reasonably satisfied, I like the packaging and I like the idea of little bags of them but my son wasn't too keen. He'll eat a few then get bored.

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?

Probably not purely because he won't eat them. I may try my daughter with them when she's older and if she likes them I would buy them.

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?

I wouldn't go as far as recommend as he didn't really like them but I would definitely suggest them.

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?

When I gave him the option he asked for 'anilla' :)

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?

Fruit, raisins.

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?

He's not really into savoury snacks. I buy pom bears sometimes and he might have quavers if we're out but that's about it.

Thank you for letting us be part of the product test, I enjoyed it and it was good to try something new, even though it wasn't a massive success. I'm also really pleased with the free meal vouchers in the boxes as he does love the little dish meals so we'll get a lot of use out of those.

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?
Quite satisfied. I liked the resealable bag. My little one enjoyed them but couldnt manage a full bag at a time.

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?

I probably would just to have some handy if we were out and about. At home though I prefer to give her one item to hold eg a banana or an organix oat bar as she makes less mess with these than a bag of lots of small biscuits! Im sure as she gets older this will improve though!

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
I would and i have mentioned them to friends. I enjoyed the taste of them and the fact they werent very sweet and you could taste the seeds.
Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?

She liked vanilla. I like the ginger ones!

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?

I buy the organix oat bars, she likes the carrot ones. She eats a lot of fruit, any variety. Her favourite though is a treat of nutella on bread so i would be very interested in a less sugar version made by little dish.

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?

She has cheese, rice cakes and the odd bag of quavers. I would be interested in soups made by little dish. I do make my own but that isnt always practical so a ready made alternative would be useful.

Thank you for letting me try these. They are handy to have out and about without worrying about what she is eating. She did feed a couple to the dogs too and they enjoyed them very much. They certainly preferred them to the fruit and random bits of plastic food she also tried to feed them that morning

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?
Quite satisfied. My 17mo daughter seemed to like them and I thought they were pretty tasty too.

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?
Yes.

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
Yes, because they are relatively healthy, relatively mess free and quite handy to stick in a pocket or handbag. We like the hole in the middle too for poky fingers and safety!

I say relatively mess free because my daughter seems to turn them into a paste which dribbles down her chin, and relatively healthy because I noted that molasses is one of the main ingredients.

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?
She seemed keenest on the Ginger ones but liked all of them.

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Organix oaty bars, Fruit Bowl yoghurt flakes, raisins, sultanas and freeze dried fruit, bananas, easy peeler oranges

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Cucumber, mini tomatoes, low salt crisps, the occasional cocktail sausage...

I should add a big thank you for letting us test them, and that the free vouchers were also very welcome as she does love Little Dish ready meals and has never to my memory not finished one!

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?
Fairly satisfied. DC ate them them and I was happy to give them something relatively healthy rather than a normal biscuit. I thought they were a bit dry but children didn't complain.

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?
Yes.

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?
Yes, depending on how much they cost. I have already told my friend about them.

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?
3yr old preferred the raspberry ones, 2yr didn't really have a favourite.

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Organix cake bars, organix ginger bread men, raisins.

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?
Organix crisps, ricecakes, breadsticks.

Thank you for letting us try them!

Q1 Overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied were you with the Little Dish Go Gos?

Really satisfied, actually. The portion sizes were good, the packing was great. Each bag had a little sticker on it that you could give to your kids or use to re seal the pack.
The consistency of the biscuit was good as they didn't fall apart and get all mushy. And they tasted great. I liked the fact they had protein in them as well as all sorts of other good stuff!

Q2 If Little Dish Go Gos were on sale at a price acceptable to you, do you think you would buy the products in future or not?

Yes, I would.

Q2 If it came up, in principle, do you think you’d recommend the Little Dish Go Gos to a friend or family member or not? Why?

Yes - easy packaging to keep in your bag or the car, full of protein and goodness.

Q3 Which was your child’s favourite recipe/ flavour?

My 15 month old liked the ginger ones, and my 4 year old wanted whatever she was having! But all the flavours went down well. (With me as well!)

Q4 What other sweet snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?

Rich tea biscuits, humzingers fruit bars, organic oat bars

Q5 What savoury snacks do you currently buy for your child/children under 3 years old?

breadsticks, Rice cakes and mini cheddars.

I do have to say the one thing I was disappointed with was the boxes they arrived in. A huge cardboard box, which when I opened it had another huge carboard box inside. Inside that was lots of paper and then the 3 boxes of little dish go-gos. Such a waste of cardboard. Really, they could have put the snack boxes in one cardboard box - no need for two.

The vouchers were very welcome and I am looking forward to trying the little dish meals :)

Thank you!

Q1. Overall, I was highly satisfied with the Little Dish Go Gos.
