Prevent Spills with the Loopa Gyro Bowl

One of the things that can really put a dampener on traveling with children is those untimely spills during feeding. The team behind the Loops Gyro Bowl believe they have come up with an answer that should help to prevent or at least minimize those spills.
The Loop Gyra Bowl is a spill-resistant (inventors claim), bowl that ‘swivels, dips and oscillates in all directions to keep snacks’ in the bowl and not on the floor. Designed with a weighted inner bowl that rotates 360 degrees no matter how the bowl is grabbed or turned, keeping the contents of the bowl; in the bowl.
The concept looks and sounds great, but to what degree of punishment the bowl will stand up to is another matter, I can imagine this being a great thing to have if you are traveling with small children in confined spaces, such as on planes, trains and cars.
