Yes 4 is fine but you should get the no sugar added one :)

Never? LOL. They are not real juice, full of high fructose corn syrup, and some of their brands contain fake sugar (I would rather my kids had real sugar than fake). There are better options out there. Honest is a good brand.

The 100% juice ones have pretty much the same ingredients as the Honest pouches

Ditto ... I never buy that stuff .. .at least the Minute Maid apple juice has real juice. Sure the real stuff cost a little more money but not much more.

Same. I let a lot slide when we're out that I'd never give them at home.

Re: What age for Capri sun?
They will be fine, but maybe a little messy. My kindergarteners squeeze the pouch too hard sometimes.

Re: What age for Capri sun?
Oh and FYI- Capri Sun is not the same as when we were kids.
None of them contain High Fructose Corn Syrup anymore.
Google it.
Is it great- no. Juice is not great.
But just wanted to get the facts on the HFCS straight

Exactly- we were buying honest too- then I realized it's the same shyt just more money.
Capri Sun no longer contains HFCS either

Re: What age for Capri sun?
The only reason I would pass on Capri sun is because they get squirted really easy when a child grabs. But 4 is FINE, however, I do like their 100% juice pouch but it is pricier I think. I personally go for Motts Tots or Honest Kids boxes.

What age for Capri sun?
We don't drink them... why? cause we just don't care to go spend money on them. Has she had them? yep. What age? Don't know it never bothered me to check. My only worry would have been is she going to use the straw correctly or try to poke her eyes out. otherwise, whatever.
i don't care if its honest, genuine good stuff or labelled liquid gold. I ain't wasting money on it. no need.
I believe four was her addiction to Motts toddler stuff (half water) which she grew out of. Mostly cause my aunt HAD to buy it for her. OMG because its good for her blah blah.
Now.. she drinks water, water, water and a side of tea.
I am NOT a health freak.. her tea has sweet & low if we are out (The horror!) we just don't sweat the one quarter of a drink in 3 months that has a dash of sweet n low compared to months (liters) of water only.
Capri sun just seems so expensive per ounce LOL (im cheap usually but even cheaper now that I've been unemployed for a month!)

Oh I agree...I don't buy juice regularly. Water and milk are mainly what we drink. Glad to hear they no longer have hfcs in them though. We got one with a kids meal somewhere, the roaring waters and I remember it had sucralose or aspartame in it.

I hate Capri sun because I'm a total spaz and can't seem to get the straw in the pouch without spilling half the drink on myself! 
But in all seriousness I think it's totally fine for a party. I kind of have an anything goes mentality at those types of events because it's not like it's an everyday thing.

Re: What age for Capri sun?
4 is fine and so is Capri Sun for a party. I only have water,
Milk and OJ in my house and I wouldn't think twice about it. My son would drink it up like a crackhead. It's juice not acid.

I think they are ok at 4. I'd give one to my 2 yos at a party if I thought they could handle not squirting it all over the place for shitz and giggles. And they only get a little watered down juice in the am at home. Just offer water too case parents don't allow juice. Every kids party I've ever been to has offered juice.
