I've had a peg now for the last 3 years. It's been a good one but now it's time for a new one!

I am considering a mic key button instead of the dangling tube this time around. I eat blended food (no formula), so I syringe in somewhat thick or creamy foods. Will a mic key work as well? Since they are held in by a balloon, do you need to keep a spare handy? I would love any insight you may have or your opinion one way or the other. Thanks and be blessed!! Bryan
