Starting solid foods brings new requirements for plates, bowls and cutlery. Silicone baby tableware is often promoted as non-slip, BPA-free and particularly durable. However, these claims are only useful when backed up by specific product information.
Three common buying pitfalls come up particularly often:
The product description should identify the material as clearly as possible. Several of the products featured here are listed as being made from platinum silicone or food-grade silicone. According to the manufacturer, Kikka Boo products are BPA-free and intended for food contact. Always check these details on the product page and in the instructions.
BPA-free baby tableware is an important consideration for many parents. However, the label alone doesn’t replace checking other details, such as cleaning instructions, heat resistance and any restrictions on use.
The age recommendation matters too. Most of the products mentioned are intended for children from 6 months. This doesn’t mean every child needs the same foods or portion sizes from that age. Weaning should be guided by your child’s individual development and the advice of the professionals who care for them.
A silicone baby plate with a suction cup can make it harder for the plate to slide around on smooth, clean and dry surfaces. However, a secure grip isn’t guaranteed on every surface. Before placing it down, make sure the table or high-chair tray is free from crumbs, grease and moisture.
A divided baby plate has separate sections for foods such as purée, vegetables and fruit. This can be useful when serving foods with different textures. According to the product details, the Kikka Boo plate with suction cup has three compartments and a capacity of 600 ml. For smaller portions, a shallower plate of around 380 ml may be enough.
The dimensions should also suit your eating area. The MiaMia plate measures 23.5 × 15 × 2.5 cm and, according to the product description, fits many high-chair trays. It’s worth measuring your available space before you buy.
Dishwasher and microwave suitability can make everyday life easier, but these details should be stated explicitly in the product information. According to the manufacturer, the Kikka Boo Feeding Set 5-Piece Platinum Silicone Sage is suitable for use in the dishwasher, microwave and freezer, and with a steam steriliser. Its stated temperature range is -40 °C to +230 °C.
After heating food in the microwave, stir it and check its temperature before serving. Silicone can feel different from the contents, so you can’t reliably judge the actual temperature of the food by touching the surface.
A non-slip silicone baby plate isn’t maintenance-free, either. Remove food residue from the rim, compartments and underside after every meal. If the plate has a suction cup, pay particular attention to the edge of the gripping surface.
Why this product suits this profile: This four-piece set includes a plate, bowl, cup and spoon. According to the product details, it’s suitable for children from 6 months and for meals at home or on the go.
The set is a manageable size, so there’s no need to buy several separate pieces. According to the manufacturer, the tableware has non-slip bases.
Four coordinated pieces, silicone listed as the material for the tableware components, and a weight of 0.35 kg according to the product details.
Why this product suits this profile: If you’re looking for a plate, bowl, cup, spoon and fork in one set, this option clearly lists its dimensions and intended uses for everyday weaning.
The manufacturer specifies the material, confirms it’s BPA-free, gives a temperature range of -40 °C to +230 °C and lists specific care options, rather than making only general claims about durability.
Five pieces: a 400 ml plate, 200 ml bowl, 150 ml cup and cutlery. According to the manufacturer, it’s suitable for the dishwasher, microwave and freezer, and for use with a steriliser.
Why this product suits this profile: This single plate is designed for those first independent meals and suits households that don’t need a complete set.
The suction cup is clearly listed as a feature. The product details also point out that it needs a clean, dry and smooth surface.
Three compartments, a 600 ml capacity and, according to the manufacturer, heat resistance from -40 °C to +230 °C. It’s also listed as suitable for the dishwasher, microwave and freezer.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
Even durable silicone should be checked regularly. Before every meal, inspect plates, suction cups and cutlery for cracks, cuts, sticky patches or deformation. Stop using any damaged pieces.
Follow these steps when using a suction cup:
Sharp knives can damage the surface. When using a microwave, always follow the instructions from the relevant manufacturer.
Many products are intended for use from 6 months, according to the manufacturer. However, you should also follow the instructions and take your child’s development into account. The tableware itself doesn’t determine when a baby is ready to start weaning.
There’s no set lifespan. It depends on the quality of the material, how often it’s used, how it’s cleaned and how it’s stored. Replace any piece with cracks, cuts, discolouration accompanied by an unusual smell or other damage.
No. It usually grips most reliably on smooth, clean and dry surfaces. Textured wooden surfaces, damp mats or crumbs can reduce its effectiveness. A silicone baby plate with a suction cup should still only be used under supervision.
