Getting food into your kids' mouths instead of on the floor, on the tabletop, in the dog's mouth (and who knows where else) is probably a tough enough task as it is with a fork, but still, I love these "clothespin" chopsticks for a tiny dinner of Chinese take-out. They're made of acrylic so they're easy to wash, and spring-loaded, so they're definitely easy to use.
Heck, you could probably use them for yourself, too, if you're fumbling with chopsticks.
The chopsticks are available from eGiggle for $4 a pair.

Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)
Because eating French Fries in the car is so tough

I think spring loaded chop stick woul be hard to use. Look at your chop stick when you eat, the tops are almost never together.

My kid's been using chopsticks for about 1.5 years now. She started using them just before 1.5 years. She definitely does not hold them correctly, but she can pick up food and get it into her mouth. She wanted to do it so she does. She's tried those spring hinges, but her hands are not strong enough to close the chopsticks.
No one should feel bad about using chopsticks correctly. About 1/2 of the Asians who grew up in Asia don't.
