I know this is going to sound petty but does anyone in Oz know if there is an equivalent to Cheerios? I looked on various supermarkets' websites in Oz and can't see any Nestle cereals or anything resembling Cheerios.

They're our 3 year old's favourite food - breakfast and snacks, without milk. Rice bubbles, cornflakes etc are no good as they're too small for snacking. Froot loops are too sweet - plus he's hyper enough without all those colouring additives! Going to try him on Nutrigrain but they're a bit like rocks.

It would save us some tantrums if we knew what to buy when we get there in jetlagged confusion. Maybe there's something similar from a small brand or a health food shop one that I haven't spotted yet? Thanks.

You may cause some confusion if asking for Cheerios in Oz for your kid's breakfast. Cheerios are small cocktail sausages of the type invariably found on a stick.

Notably, Nestle don't market cereals in Australia, except for the newly arrived Milo cereal. You may want to try Kellog's Fruit Loops, which look similar if a bit more colourful.

Thanks Jayr. Cheerios were small cocktail sausages in NZ when we lived there too.
