Toddler Training Tableware, Non-Slip Feeding Plate

There is a phase where the plate goes on the floor more often than the food goes in the mouth. This training plate is built for exactly that phase. A non-slip base grips the highchair tray, so the plate stays put while your child works out what a spoon is for.

What makes it work

• Non-slip base that resists the sideways shove and the deliberate sweep
• Raised outer wall that gives a spoon something to push food against
• Low centre of gravity, so it does not tip when leaned on
• Single moulded piece with no join for food to work into
• Wipes clean quickly between courses

Most useful from around eight months, when your child starts reaching for the spoon themselves, through the whole self-feeding learning curve. Press it down onto a clean, dry tray for the best grip, and wash in warm soapy water afterwards.

Common questions

Will it really stay on the tray? The base grips well on a clean, dry, smooth surface. Crumbs or moisture underneath will reduce the hold, so wipe the tray first.

Is a determined toddler going to lift it anyway? A child who sets out to remove it eventually will. The point is that it survives the accidental knocks, which are the majority.

What age does this suit? Roughly eight months through toddlerhood, covering the period where self-feeding is being learned rather than mastered.
