I have purchased numerous Kellogg's cereals in the past Coco Pops being the favourite along with Rice Krispies and Frosties. At breakfast time my son just loves these with WARM milk. I find that Kellogg's focus so much on their own cereals that they do not supply cereals for any other companies which is a good thing as it shows they have such confidence in their own brand. When I choose a cereal either its chocolate based or not I always look to see how healthy the ingredients are, as it is very important to have a good start to my son's day. I always associate chocolate flavoured cereals to be bad for kids but was so happy to learn that Kellogg's cereals have vitamins and minerals which gives me one less thing to worry about :) and my son getting what he wants - a chocolate cereal lol. My son loved the new Kellogg's Coco Pops Croc Prints, it is so hard to get him to eat before school but that has not being a problem since these entered the house, he loves making up stories to relate to the prints and there is no more fighting to eat in the morning.

We're all big fans of cereal in our household and regularly eat a lot of Kelloggs products generally such as Special K, Branflakes or Cornflakes for myself, the kids all love Rice Krispies, Coco Pops and Frosties and my husband is very partial to Crunchy Nut Cornflakes or Start! Indeed, it doesn't have to be morning to eat cereal either - nothing is better after coming in from my exercise class than a crunchy bowl of cornflakes with ice cold milk!
I can honestly say there isn't a cereal that Kelloggs have brought out that we haven't tried at some stage. I like the fact that they make high quality cereal which are fortified with vitamins and minerals, high in fibre and generally good for you. My daughter is an incredibly fussy eater and it's good to know that at least she is starting her day right with a healthy breakfast cereal.
As regular consumers of Coco Pops we were excited to trial the Croc Footprints cereal and I was happy to see that it was low in fat and saturated fat. My son, daughter and husband were the very willing guinea pigs in this case.
My son is a typical teenager and thought that they were the same as Coco Pops but with a different shape; not very enlightening but what can you do! The shape of the cereal hurt the roof of my daughters' mouth and that was it for her - end of her trial, she refused point blank to try them again in case they hurt her again and nothing was changing her mind. After this incident, I was reluctant to even give them to my 1 year old to see if he'd eat them. My husband initially liked them, he found very little difference in taste to regular Coco Pops but he did find that they left a kind of "powdery" aftertaste in his mouth which he could taste long after the cereal had been eaten. So overall unfortunately this cereal didn't go down to well in our house and has gone onto my mental list of "do not buy again". Perhaps the next new cereal Kellogg’s bring out will fare better with us?

I have purchased Kellogg’s cereals before this trial, including Cornflakes, Rice Krispies, Multigrain Krispies, Crunchy Nut, Frosties and Coco Pops.
Feeding a good high fibre cereal is definitely important to me. It’s the most important meal of the day so it has to be good quality.
Healthy to me is a good balance of vitamins and minerals. It’s very important for my breakfast to be healthy because it’s the first meal my body gets when I wake in the morning.
I am aware that grain based foods are very important in my family’s diet.
It’s great to know that Kellogg’s fortifies its cereals with important vitamins and minerals to ensure the family gets a good start to the day.
I am happy that with new Kellogg’s Coco Pops Croc Prints Kellogg's have created a cereal which is low in fat and saturated fat, it’s great for the children.
We all gave Croc Prints a go. Me, My Husband and Our 4 year old Daughter.
They all liked the shape of the prints.
Kellogg’s is the most popular cereal brand in our press I wouldn't purchase a cheaper brand because you pay for what you get.
Overall I thought they were a good cereal as my daughter was very impressed by taste and look. I think they are very similar to multigrain Krispies in taste with the chocolate coating to make them more appealing to children. The name Coco pops is very deceiving as they are not sugary at all and don't taste a bit like Coco Pops which I thought they would but I understand that they are full of vitamins and minerals so that's why they don't taste as chocolaty!

For as long as I can remember Kellogg's has always meant breakfast, from only Cornflakes and Rice Krispies, to nowadays a whole range of cereals there is something to suit everyone's tastes. So when I had my own kids Kellogg's were the way to go, as not only do they offer a wide variety of cereals, they are packed with essential vitamins and minerals too, an added bonus, Goodness in a box.
Before signing up for this trial I had purchased Kellogg's cereals before, mainly Rice Krispies, Cornflakes and Crunchy nut Cornflakes, as they are a quality breakfast cereal. However I was unaware that they didn't make cereal for anyone else, I thought Kellogg's made all breakfast cereals!!
As a mother to three kids, feeding them a nutritious high fibre cereal with grains is very important, as it allows for a healthy gut. In terms of a healthy breakfast my family and I like to start the day with a bowl of cereal, a piece of fruit and a yoghurt. So having a cereal that's filling, energy packed, high in fibre, low in saturated fat and provides a good balance of both vitamins and minerals is hugely important to me. I am happy to report that Kellogg's lives up to my idea of a healthy breakfast and my kids actually choose Kellogg's as their choice too!
Breakfast can be quite a chaotic time with three kids and my husband all starving and looking to be fed. Usually what one likes the other doesn't, so you can imagine my kids delight when I produced the new Coco Pops Croc Prints at breakfast, needless to say they all wanted to try them including my husband! My kids were instantly captivated by the crocodile on the box and were suitably impressed when they realised that they were eating his paw prints, this served as a great incentive especially with my two young boys, to finish eating their cereal. Whilst they were eating the new Croc Prints they were enthralled by the puzzle on the back of the box, trying to find Coco's gang, and in no time were finished eating. My husband and kids thoroughly enjoyed the New Coco Pops Croc Prints, each morning I had four empty bowls which is a first! Any remaining milk was gladly lapped up, to which they referred to as "chocolate milkshake"! I also found that they were useful on the go, just popped a few in an airtight container which served as a nutritious yet sweet snack, perfect for those little fingers!
All in all, I am impressed with the New Coco Pops Croc Prints aside from the nutritional benefits which assured me they were getting the very best start to their day they all loved them which made for happy kids. Happy children= Happy Mum!!

I have always purchased Kellogg’s cereals be it for myself, my husband or my kids. A regular purchase is always Cornflakes and Rice Krispies. We have in the past tried cheaper versions of these but have always returned to Kellogg’s. For the kids I have to say I do buy what is on special offer. A favourite at the moment is Mini Max's but i have bought coco Pops, coco rocks, special K (for me) bran flakes, start and honey loops. I do try to buy cereal with high fibre as i find this important especially for the children. I do try to buy the non sugary cereals and cereals with wholegrain. i am happy that Kellogg’s fortifies with cereals with vitamins and minerals.
My three boys aged 7, 5 and 3 tested the new coco Pops Croc Prints in my house. They were a big hit with my two younger boys. The 3 year particularly liked the shape of them and was playing away while he ate them! My eldest thought they were fine but in his opinion he prefers Coco Pops. I would buy these again as i do try to buy cereals made with wholegrain so getting as healthy a breakfast as i can into them while they think they are eating chocolate.

I have 3 children, 15, 12 and 9. The 12 and 9 year old loved the footprints. The 15 year old said they were too young for him.
We regularly buy Kellogg's corn flakes, Rice Krispies and coco pops. I know Kellogg's do not make cereals under any other name.
I buy Kellogg's due to their brand name. I have some people previously saying they don't agree with giving coco pops but my 12 year old has a big bowl and I know he has started the day with a high amount of the recommended daily amount of important Vitamins and minerals. Now due to the fact both my 9 and 12 year old enjoyed a cereal with extra benefits I have bought a second pack.
I do look at grain content and am also aware of the importance of high fibre. We always have whole wheat pasta.
A breakfast cereal is a good way to start the day. I feel when it is just toast they will be hungry by 11 when they are at school. Kellogg's is the norm in our house and is a brand I have been bought up with.
The size of the footprints was not really mentioned. They neither though it was good or bad!!
I hope I have covered all I need. To sum up it is a cereal we will have again

Thank you to MummyPages & Kellogg’s for selecting us to take part in this trail. We have bought many different Kellogg’s cereals in the past including Cornflakes, Rice Krispies & Coco Pops. I was unaware that Kellogg’s did not make cereal for anyone else although I have never found any other brand of cornflakes that tastes as good. A healthy breakfast is very important to my family & it is also one of the most difficult meals to provide a home cooked option for because of time constraints. We tend to rely on shop bought cereals for weekday mornings & I am always conscious of the high level of sugars, salts etc in a lot of these cereals that claim to be healthy options. I am delighted with the Coco Pops Croc Prints because are low in fat & high in fibre as it allows me give it to the kids guilt free, previously they have only been allowed a “chocolate” type cereal once a week. My 4 year old son & 7 year old daughter both loved the Coco Pops Croc Prints & they the shape was great fun. I must admit I had a small bowl myself & was pleasantly surprised that they weren’t overly sweet & reckon they’d make a nice chocolaty treat in the evening too. We will definitely be having this cereal regularly from now on & would happily recommend it to others.

I have always bought Kellogg’s cereals for my family, we would usually eat cornflakes, Rice Krispies, special k and coco pops. I was delighted to be chosen for this trial as i would always try and get more fibre in to their diets. When the packaged arrived i thought it looked very similar to coco pops .The 1st day the kids tried them they didn’t like them as much as coco pops i think as the packaging was too similar for them and put them off a little. But they did eat most of them and my eldest 8 yrs old said he was actually full which was great! So they do keep hunger away for a while :) overall i would buy again as i would like the fact that they have fibre in them.

They were tried in my house by my three year old and by myself and we both loved them. My three year old loved them so much he had three bowls on the first day of trying them. He loved that they were little footprint shaped and that the milk turned chocolate. I always knew Kellogg's did healthy breakfast cereals. I have the odd time bought them for my boys. I like that the new Coco Pops have more vitamins and minerals in them which is better for the children. I will be buying the Coco Pops Croc Prints as they where a big hit in my house.

We purchase Kellogg’s cereals every week. We buy coco pop, Corn flakes, Rice Krispies every week and if there is a special price on something else we will also get them.
We like the quality of Kellogg’s breakfast cereals, didn't know they never made cereal for anyone else!!
I like getting a good breakfast into them as they are picker of food throughout the day
To me ‘healthy’ means high in fibre, low in sugar.
The fact that Kellogg’s fortifies its cereal with vitamins and minerals makes things easier for me knowing they had a healthy start to the day. This is the reason we always buy Kellogg’s.
I am happy that Croc Prints are low in fat and saturated fat, my boys love these as snacks throughout the day. My two boys are ages 6 and 3. They liked the shapes of the Croc prints and they also love looking at the box.
I feel that Kellogg's brand is synonymous with breakfast and a good start to the day

My 4 daughters age 2, 5, 7 & 10 tried Croc Prints. They like the cereal, especially the 2 younger girls.

Firstly can I thank MummyPages for allowing us the chance to take part in this trial. There was much excitement when the box arrived as we are all big cereal fans in this house! Also the adverts for the Croc Prints had been on TV a lot recently and they were dying to try them out :)
Kellogg’s breakfast cereals have always been a feature on our breakfast table so I knew that this new one was going to go down a treat. Kellogg’s cereals that we are already fans of are Coco pops, Rice Krispies and Start. It’s very important to us to know that the cereals we feed our children are high fibre and good for their health.
All three of my children tried the Croc Prints and they loved them ! My son in particular loved the shape and all three loved the taste. I caught the eldest too rob a handful to snack on during the day as well as having a bowl with milk for breakfast! I loved the fact that they were eating a cereal that was fortified with vitamins and iron and that was also low in fat.

I regularly purchase Kellogg’s for my kids.
Start, Rice Krispies and coco pops would be the most often purchased. Fruit Loops were a big hit!! PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!
I was aware that Kellogg’s don't make cereals for anyone else.
Any cereal my kids will eat is a good cereal to me. I have a 7 year old with ADHD and asbergers so food is a major issue in my house.
Consuming food can be more important than what is actually eaten sometimes.
I do like that the Kellogg’s cereals are fortified.
I'm not too concerned that it’s low fat in my particular circumstances but I can see why moms would like that fact.
My 7 year old special needs child and my 3 years old tried the cereal. They had half the box eaten before we arrived home one evening in the back of the car as I had just collected it from the post office. They also have eaten it several mornings for breakfast. I have purchased more also.
They loved the shape of it. It makes more fun of breakfasts.
I would be more likely to purchase Kellogg’s than any other brand of cereal but as a single mom it can be hard as they can often be significantly more expensive than other brands. I try to wait for special offers and then stock up.

Received my delivery yesterday and succeeded in hiding them away until breakfast this morning. Breakfast varies a lot in this house as there are 6 people to please so there is always at least 1 packet of Kellogg's in the press, normally Cornflakes and I have to admit I am one that will buy any cereal that's on offer. These include Special K, Coco Pops, Rice Krispies and All Bran.
Cereal is one product that I don't buy shop own brands because I find the product is not usually eaten and is of poorer quality.
It is important to me that everybody in the house eats a good breakfast so I tend to go for breakfasts with high fibre but I am beginning to look more for products with LOW SUGAR. I think it’s a great start in the morning that the Coco Prints are fortified with vitamins and minerals. The fat content is good but then again fat isn't one of the main worries I would have when buying cereal.
My 2 boys tried the Coco prints aged 4yrs and 6 yrs, they were so excited when I handed them there bowls and I was surprised they knew exactly what they were as we never had them before. They loved them and ordered a second bowl each. They loved the shapes and made a path on the counter with some telling a story of the crock on an adventure. I think Kellogg's is associated with breakfast big time. Will I be buying Coco prints again? Maybe as a treat I am sorry to say and the reason is the high sugar content can’t believe 76g of a 100g serving is sugar, Sorry Kellogg’s i am so disappointed in this product for this reason alone, please lose at least half the sugar, if we have to add it ourselves at the table it is better parents know what sugar their kids are taking....

I must say that I was disappointed with the new Coco Pops Croc Prints cereal. The children were interested in the novelty shape and packaging, but my husband and I found the taste unappealing: the texture was almost cardboard-like, the flavour was far inferior to Coco Pops, and there was an unpleasant iron-like aftertaste. You also don't get the pleasant "chocolate milk" effect that Coco Pops offers, which was always a big attraction for me as a child.

I can see from comparing the nutritional content that Croc Prints are lower in sugar but they appear to be higher in saturated fat, which is something I want to minimise in breakfast cereal, and given that I would only offer them as a weekend "treat" cereal, I think the taste would have to be improved to allow them to compete with the likes of Coco Pops and other sweet cereals.

The children did eat them but if I wanted to offer a treat I would still be more inclined to buy Coco Pops or investigate a different brand if I needed a lower-sugar offering - for example, Nestle Nesquick and Weetabix Weetos seem to be lower in sugar than either Coco Pops regular or Croc Prints.
I do feel that, in some ways, Kellogg’s is synonymous with breakfast, but own-brand cereals are not only cheaper but are also competing in some cases nutritionally e.g. I have compared all of the nutritional content on some comparable Tesco own-brand cereals with the Kellogg’s equivalent and have found Tesco can be equal nutritionally but lower in sugar!
Kelloggs do tend to taste better but if Tesco cost half the price for the same nutritional content, many people will switch.
