Bettina, I know how difficult it is to have to give meds while traveling. Even from the front seat of a car. Since one of the "Pill Crushers" I told you about was less than $8.00 why bother having to use baggies or spoons or other stuff when this contraption not only slices it into eighths, but pulverizes it and keeps it in a safe compartment until you are ready to use it. It is simplicity at it's best. My son still gags on the pill so we continue to mix it with a little of his favorite drink. He even enjoys shaking it up. The bottom of the 4 in 1 also has a pill case and a drink cup to make it even more convenient. I hope this helps you, I use it a lot when we travel and are in the airplane when we have to give his meds. He is a real trouper and feels like a big boy when he can help to grind up his pill. I know this is going to make things easier for you. Good luck.
