 small and space-wasting |

| This is my last-reached for plate. I think the design around the bottom w/the grip is nice, and I've never had a problem with my daughter picking it up, but otherwise is a waste. The whole plate is small and the compartments are very small. There is a lot of wasted space on the plate because of the design. they probably could have used the same design at the base and yet changed the internal compartments and given you at least 4 separate spots for food (which is very important for a toddler who does not like different foods touching). And honestly, my toddler has an easier time getting food out of bowls or plates with straight sides rather than sloped, curving sides. I wouldn't buy this plate again. |
Great plate!

| Yes, this plate can be picked up, but it's much harder to pick up than most and it won't slide around on the table. When we first tried using it my daughter (then 9 or 10 months) was also just interested in picking it up and dumping it, but we put it away for a little while and brought it back out when she was more interested in the food (11 or 12 months) and since then she hasn't done it anymore. I'm not sure if there are any plates out there that can truly deter a determined 10 month old! Since the profile is so low to the table and there's no rim for her to grab, she doesn't even think about it as long as she's got food. She only turns it over when it's empty. So for those of you who have had trouble, try with a slightly older baby. The size is great for a younger toddler, it's perfect for finger foods, the design is cute and it cleans up easily. I especially like the separated compartments and the price is great compared to many of the alternatives. We have two now. |
Lightweight and not at all slip resistant

I bought this primarily for the slip resistance and because it is BPA-free. Unfortunately, the slip resistance is all but nonexistent. The rim around the bottom of the plate has the equivalent of a rubber band to keep it from skidding. I suppose it does offer a tiny bit of resistance, but I'd say it is maybe 2% less likely to be thrown on the floor than any other lightweight plastic plate. It is extremely light, just like any cheap plastic baby plate.
We have been using it for our baby anyway, and she does seem to like the added scoopability with this plate, as it is a bit easier to grab things from the rounded compartments. Unless your child has a lot of trouble picking things up from any other plate or bowl, though, I see no reason to buy this plate. |
Cute but doesn't do the trick

| I purchased this plate because it was divided, claimed to be slip-resistant and also claimed that the rounded edge made it difficult for little fingers to pick up. The first time we used it, my son picked it right up off his smooth high chair tray and emptied it. I'm disappointed because it LOOKED so dependable! But I think I'm going to have to try a plate with suctions on the bottom instead. |
Too easy for babies to pick up

| I bought this for my 11 month old to use as we transition him from using the tray on his booster seat to sitting at the table. He picked it up and dumped it the very first time we used it; so much for the claims of it being hard for little hands to turn over. I'm giving it two stars instead of just one because it is sturdy and well made, as my son proved when he flung it off of the table. |
