ALBANY, NY—SnackerTracker founders Gina and Todd Luttrell announced today that SnackerTracker has received an iParenting Media Best Products of 2008 Award. The iParenting Media Awards program is considered to be the premiere product evaluation and testing service in the country.
"This recognition is very meaningful to us," said Ms. Luttrell, president of SnackerTracker. "Parents today are trying to accomplish so much for their families every day. That’s why we worked hard to make SnackerTracker helpful, engaging and easy to use. Winning the iParenting Award was another confirmation that we achieved what we set out to do," said Luttrell.
SnackerTracker™ is an effective and family-friendly nutritional tracking system designed to teach children ages 2-8 how to eat healthy and stay active. SnackerTracker uses a large, colorful dry-erase magnet that sticks to a refrigerator or any magnetic surface. Each day as a child eats the appropriate serving of food or performs some physical activity, he or she can simply cross the item off the SnackerTracker.
The SnackerTracker package includes a Nutritional Guide filled with clear, accessible information that walks parents through the basics of the recommended food intake for children of all ages, gives examples of healthy snacks, and provides tips on incorporating physical activity into busy lives and more.
"Thousands of new products are introduced each year, and the iParenting Media Awards have become a resource that identifies the best of the best products for families, providing parents with a trusted source of information and insight," said Alvin All, director and general manager of iParenting Media. "For more than a decade we’ve been recognizing great products and the 2008 award winners are no exception."
Award-winning products, which were submitted in 20 categories, were selected based on their fun value, product quality, ease of use, play duration, educational nature and uniqueness, among other criteria.
After a rigorous evaluation of SnackerTracker, an iParenting Media Awards’ Reviewer had this to say: "This product was a real eye-opener for me as a mother who is constantly striving to serve healthy, well-balanced meals to her lil ones. I hadn’t realized just how few veggies I’d been serving – oops! It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of the day and dole out "convenience" foods, but they are not chock full of the proteins, veggies, grains etc, that our babies need. This SnackerTracker really works to keep you honest! Overall, this product is very cut-and-dry. It’s simple, yet useful and I plan to use it in future gift-giving for 2nd birthdays for children who already have a ton of toys and could use something practical every now and then. Two Thumbs Up, SnackerTracker!"
iParenting.com is an award-winning network of more than 40 sites, in English and Spanish, addressing a range of parenting issues from preconception through raising teenagers and beyond.
