I even got the nice silicone ones
We have 21 month old twins. We are constantly trying different plates and sippy cups. I swear we have 1 of just about every kind. I even got the nice silicone ones. They were to big for their trays and they figured them out in no time. However these trays are well worth the money. We use these daily and I’m buying another seat now to keep in their diaper bag. They worked well when we went out to eat. They are small enough To easily fit in the diaper bag but the sections are decently sized. The smaller sections can fit about 2 ozs or half a tu b of baby food. I could see the suction cups not working on some surfaces. But so far that hasn’t been an issue for us. We have used on high chair trays, booster seats, and wood tables without issues. For They Money I would highly recommend!

Works great for baby led weaning!
These stick to our white Ikea table beautifully. It was even difficult for my MIL to pull it off!! We haven’t honestly tried to stick it to other tables yet though. I will try to update this if it doesn’t stick to others. I love the lightweight feel to it and that it is easy to clean and dishwasher safe on the top rack. It also have groves in the sections that make it easier to scoop things out so you don’t end up with wasted food in a pointed corner that your little one can’t get out! I was worried these wouldn’t stack well as we don’t have a lot of space in out kitchen but the suctions fit perfectly in the compartments so they stack no problem which is amazing. We have a Fischer price booster seat that we use for our 8 MO and we love these plates so much that we got rid of her tray and just buckle her in and push her right up to the table to feed herself. We do baby led weaning where she feeds herself solid foods (we skipped purees) so it can be quite messy but we just throw her plate in the dishwasher and wipe down the table and ta da! I am ordering more of these:)

Good lasting plates.
This is my third set that I’ve ordered simply because I think you can’t beat the price for what you get. The first set I’ve had for over a year and they’ve held up great – even with my very determined baby.The suction holds down on my toddler’s tray very well and it usually takes a very hard pry to get it to come off. I’ve only had one time where my little one was able to wriggle it free and unfortunately get food everywhere. However, it might have been user error because that same plate I was able to re-stick with no problems.I’ve read a couple of users say it’s nearly impossible to get free and when you do the food flies everywhere. That’s true, but I notice that if you slide your finger over the notches on the suctions carefully, then you can avoid that problem.They held up in the dishwasher ok, but avoid high heat to dry as they can get bended and then it’s impossible to stick again. Plus the surface gets scratchy. For these reasons, I’ve dropped it one star. But I still consider the price golden for how they hold up overall.

My 1 1/2 year old ripped it off the table the first time he used it
They donât really suction very well. One out of three suctions doesnât stay to the table. They are good and definitely worth the price being only 3$ a piece . But if you want plates that are very hard for a toddler to remove then these arenât the ones. They work good if you just want the plate to stay in place but the first time my son ate off it , he ripped it off the table and beans went flying all over. I will still use them bc itâs better then a normal plate . They donât come off easy once stuck but toddlers donât give up especially mine so they will get it off after a few tryâs. Itâs good for older kids probably who know better then to pull it off . Itâs definitely good for eating bc with a regular plastic plate on a wooden table would slide . So itâs like a win lose situation.

Great buy!
Love these plates. Theyâre dishwasher and microwave safe which surprised me. Theyâre small and light enough that theyâre easy to pack in a diaper bag for dining out. Best plate Iâve found thus far for suction. I sometimes struggle to get the plate off of the table myself. It has stuck to every surface weâve tried. Would definitely recommend, especially at this price point. Iâve tried more expensive options that were no where near as successful at staying suctioned to the table.

Nice plate
I love these plates for my very active toddler. He tends to like to throw his plates and utensils on the ground when finished eating. The suction allows me time to grab the plate before it and itâs contents lands on the floor. Nice portion sizes. I only wish the suction was slightly stronger and the sections were a little deeper. Would recommend buying.

Dishwasher safe
Love that these are dishwasher safe. No need to hand wash. No need to worry about soap taste getting stuck like with silicone plates.

Get What You Pay For
I wanted to get a few suction plates to help our infant with eating. I did pick these because the price, thinking worst case only a couple dollars versus the slightly more expensive options. They’re fine as regular plates and when you initially place them on the table the suction cups do grab. However, the suction is so flimsy on our wood table the plate rarely stays in place. I’ve accidentally brushed it when helping and scooted the plate across the table, let alone if my infant actually tries to lift it then they might as well not be there. It is only a few dollars, so I’m not upset. Don’t have high expectations – if you do buy the nicer ones.

Los platos tienen excelente tamaño para un bebé que apenas está aprendiendo a comer. Viene en colores brillantes y llamativos. Se adhieren muy bien a las superficies, aunque mi bebé es demasiado inquieto y termina por arrancarlo después de varios intentos. Ordené un 2-pack, pero definitivamente voy a volver a ordenar otros. Son resistentes y de muy buena calidad.

Me encanta esta marca son sencillos pero excelentes ya habÃa comprado tipo bowl, sus ventosas siempre fijan bien, fácil de lavar y transportar, coloridos.

Al principio no me gustaron, sentà que no eran de la calidad que esperaba, decidà darles una oportunidad, ahora se convirtieron en mis favoritos, son muy prácticos, las porciones quedan muy bien y el chupon para pegarse a la base funciona a la perfección, mi bebé no puede levantarlo cosa que con otros platos más caros si. Los recomiendo ampliamente

Muy prácticos pero la ventosa no es muy fuerte ya que mi bebe ya los despega de la mesa.

Muy buenos, se pegan muy bien a la charola, buen tamaño para mi bebé de 2 años, el hondo es como querÃa, pueden comer sin tirar, el color está agradable y son resistentes.
