Problem
Feeding young kids is often a terrible experience
For many parents, there is a very common and frustrating Rule of Three: for every 3 meals that a parent serves to their toddler, the child will eat one, play with one, and ignore one.
Combine that with accidental spills and messes, rapidly changing tastes, and frequent power struggles; feeding young children becomes a daily struggle for millions of parents. GoBe helps parents by providing them with the tools they need to create more positive feeding experiences for both the parent and the child.
Solution
A solution backed by science
What might look like a spinning device to some is quite literally brain-changing for the child.
Extensive research performed over multiple decades demonstrates the importance of choice and autonomy as an integral part of children forming a positive relationship with food; which in turn guards against future eating disorders and obesity.
The GoBe Snack Spinner is a sleek new product that implements this essential child-development research by creating a division of responsibilities while eating. With GoBe, the parent provides and the child decides.
Ultimately, the metric that really matters is, do parents and kids love it? With GoBe, that answer is a resounding YES.
Product
So much more than a snack container
For kids, the GoBe Snack Spinner is a game-changer. It's fun, delicious, fascinating, simple, and colorful. It feels like playing, and with every choice they make there is intrinsic reward.
For parents, the GoBe Snack Spinner is a spill-resistant container that allows their child to choose between five different snacks at once. With the push of a button, their child can jump from snack-to-snack, all while reducing spills and mess.
The GoBe Snack Spinner is a dishwasher-safe tool that can be used to help introduce new foods to children in a fun and pressure-free way. It is durable and made out of BPA, PVC, and Phthalate-free materials. It was developed in-house by our own design team and has two (2) patents pending.

Market
A new solution within a market valued at over $250B
GoBe tackles a niche segment within the larger container market, which is valued at $250B+. GoBe enters the market at a perfect time because now, more than ever before, parents are willing to spend a lot of money on products that ease parenting stress and benefit their child's development.
