How many times do I wish I had one of these to hand off to the waiter! Countless friends have sat through countless dinners listening to me review the menu with the waiter, gauging whether or not a particular dish was safe to order. It would put Meg Ryan’s high-maintenance character in When Harry met Sally, to shame.

Yet when it comes to discussing menu options safe for kids with food allergies, clear communication with waitstaff and the kitchen is imperative. Thanks to the thoughtful folks at Tiny Prints, these handy (and darn cute) cards can be sent back to the chef to help ensure that what arrives at the table will be safe for Junior.

These adorable cards are ideal for stating clearly what’s safe and what’s not for your child, and will serve as a reminder to cooks and waitstaff to avoid cross-contamination with other dishes in the restaurant’s kitchen. Peace of mind for all, starting at about $13 for a pack of 10 cards. Visit http://www.tinyprints.com for more details.  ~ Megan
