 Lovely small dish with chewy spoons |

After reading many mixed reviews of this dish I'm glad I irrevocably just went ahead and prearranged it. It is such a nice design - handsome and clean lines with fantastic colors, it makes my whole kitchen look and feel a small bit 'cutting edge' or 'modern' (I'm not kidding, even my spouse thinks this set is "cool") and the spoons are my baby's pet (he's 7 months ancient). My 2 and 3 year ancient toddlers like to use the spoons too!
I am writing to clear up a few misconceptions that other reviewers had mentioned; here's what I found: first of all, my set came with two spoons in different colors and one bowl. The bowl and the rim are separate pieces that snap together too firmly for baby to take apart, but might come apart if the bowl hits the floor like ours did (but it did not break and I can't presume that it ever will). The rim is sort of chewy and skid-resistant, the plastic bowl hangs floating from the rim and the 'splayed' design of the rim allows for a lot of baby's reaching in and approaching food around and out without it tipping. This is not the case with 'normal'/routine bowl-shaped baby dishes which tilt, rock, roll and then go growth off the highchair tray. It's not tip-proof, it does not suction to the tray and your baby will ultimately figure out how to pick it up. But, even after my small guy figured all that out, he still seems more interested in chasing his food around and then victoriously jamming it into his mouth with the inclined sides of the dish really selection him to get the job done. (He's still using his fingers at this point, the spoon is for me to help him right now).
You can wash this in a dishwasher (yay!) you can use it in a microwave too (yay!) but take care never to 'boil' the food, just zap very briefly to gently warm up cold mac-n-cheese, for model. (The lable warns not to exceed 194 degrees).
The spoons are wonderful; hard plastic with a rounded edge (that is gentle on baby's still toothless gums) to scoop the food while the handle is chewy and simple for baby to hold and/or chomp on while those teeth work their way on out. We also splurged and got the matching adjustable bibs for all three kids. My experience with Baby Bjorn design thus far is certainly a 5 star rating! |

| THis plate is wonderful. It works as well as it claims, but I really like the spoons the most. They are the perfect fit for small hands. My four year ancient still likes them and my 20 month ancient has been using them for some time. |
Second child likes it too!

| We had this for my son and 2 years later are quick it down to my daughter. She likes it just as much as he did. It does sit well on the tray and we have had fantastic luck in keeping it there. The spoons are well designed so more goes into the mouth and less into the lap. The colors are fantastic, it is dishwasher safe, and most significantly, my kids like it. The contoured sides make it simpler for them to get the food on the spoon without approaching it out of the dish. I loved every Bjorn item we have and this is no exception. |
Better Than I probable!

| I was looking around for the best feeding dish when this bowl/spoon caught my eye. I read the reviews and bought it. It was the best bowl/spoon I have ever sat in front of a kiddo! Too terrible I didn't learn it until my fourth child! Like other excellent reviews, the shape is brilliant for cornering food, the sides are not too high to be a challenge getting the food up and out of the bowl. The chunky spoon is perfect and the rubber rim is perfect at giving the grip needed to offset the pressure the scooping of food makes to the edge of the bowl. My small guy was an self-determining eater at 1 1/2 half, I should add the he has Down Syndrome and found eating with this bowl a breeze! I would suggest that the first time you give it to your child you stand behind the highchair and guide the childs hand to the bowl, scoop and bring to his mouth. I did this revelation twice and he took right off!! He does throw the bowl when the food is gone, and it has never broken in nearly a year of use. |
