Starting solids changes everyday routines: tableware needs to hold small portions, fit on a highchair tray and be easy to clean. At the same time, product claims can be difficult to compare. Terms such as “non-slip”, “BPA-free” or “platinum silicone” don’t tell you on their own whether an item is right for your needs.
This guide explains what families in the UK should look for when buying baby silicone tableware from 6 months and which types of products suit different everyday situations.
A baby plate with a suction cup usually needs a clean, dry, smooth surface. It may not grip as well on textured wooden surfaces, damp table tops or very uneven highchair trays. A suction cup won’t prevent the plate from moving in every situation, and it’s no substitute for supervising your child during mealtimes.
Silicone can be soft, flexible and resistant to breakage. However, products vary in their temperature range, care instructions, material composition and durability. When choosing BPA-free baby tableware, check the manufacturer’s specific information. If, for example, a set is made from silicone and polypropylene, the material claim may not apply equally to every individual piece.
A complete baby tableware set with a plate, bowl, cup and cutlery is handy if you need several items. But if you’re only looking for a plate or a silicone bowl for your baby, an individual item may work better with what you already own. Consider how often you’ll use it, how much storage space you have and whether you’ll actually use every piece.
Look for clear information about the material and an age recommendation of 6 months and up. The products featured here are described as being made from BPA-free silicone, food-grade silicone or 100% platinum silicone. “Platinum silicone” is a material description; it shouldn’t automatically be taken to mean that the product has a particular health benefit.
Some models also refer to the EN 14372 standard. According to the product information, for example, the MiaMia silicone plate meets the safety requirements for cutlery and tableware for young children set out in this standard. Always check any reference to a standard in the individual product listing and instructions for use.
Compartments can be helpful for first meals if you want to serve different foods separately. The MiaMia plate measures 23.5 × 15 × 2.5 cm and has a stated capacity of 380 ml. The Kikka Boo suction plates have three compartments, a capacity of 600 ml and measure 19.5 × 19.5 × 3.3 cm.
A raised plate edge can make it easier to scoop up food with a spoon. For bowls, compact dimensions and a sufficiently high rim are useful: the Kikka Boo bowls hold 200 ml and measure 12 × 12 × 4 cm.
Dishwasher-safe baby tableware can make everyday cleaning easier. Even so, follow the care instructions for each model. Some products are also described as suitable for use in a microwave, freezer or steriliser. When heating food, always stir it and check its temperature before feeding, as it may heat unevenly.
Kikka Boo models made from platinum silicone are stated to have a temperature range of -40 °C to 230 °C. This describes the material’s stated temperature resistance and shouldn’t be taken as a recommendation for every type of use.
Why it suits this profile: This individual divided plate is a straightforward option for families who want to start with one plate. It’s stated to be suitable from 6 months and, at 23.5 × 15 cm, fits many highchair trays.
The three compartments keep the main meal and sides separate. Its non-slip base is a practical alternative when you don’t need a suction cup.
BPA-free silicone, a capacity of 380 ml and, according to the product information, suitable for microwave and dishwasher use.
Why it suits this profile: This plate combines three compartments with a suction cup and is stated to be suitable for babies from 6 months. It’s a good fit for meals where you want to serve different foods separately.
The product doesn’t claim the suction cup will stick everywhere: the guidance says the surface must be smooth, clean and dry. This clearly sets out the suction cup’s limitations.
Made from 100% food-grade platinum silicone according to the product information, with a capacity of 600 ml and a temperature range of -40 °C to 230 °C.
Why it suits this profile: This set is a good choice for families who need a plate, bowl, cup and baby training cutlery in one coordinated set, both at home and when eating out.
Rather than combining individual pieces with different care instructions, this set contains five coordinated items according to the product information.
Includes a plate, bowl, cup, fork and spoon; stated to be suitable for the dishwasher, microwave, freezer and steriliser.
We’ve put together a comprehensive, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Many products are stated by the manufacturer to be suitable from 6 months. However, always follow the age recommendation and product instructions, and take your child’s individual development into account. An adult should always be present while your child is eating.
Its lifespan depends on how it’s used and cleaned, as well as the quality of the material. Silicone is generally resistant to breakage, but sharp objects, heavy wear or everyday use can cause damage. It’s a good idea to inspect it before every use.
This depends on the model. Many of the products featured here are stated to be suitable for the dishwasher and microwave. Before use, check the care instructions for the specific product and always check the temperature of the food.
