I have gone through SO MANY toddler plates to the point that I’m sure the return team knows me. I have done bamboo, stainless steel, mats, suctions, and everything I think there possible is on the market. So I decided to give it another shot with this one.First, it fits the Stokke Tripp Trapp tray!! The entire plate is silicone and the suction is incognito, my son doesn’t even know it’s there so he doesn’t pulled at the plate.Design: I LOVE this design! The suction is pretty much part of the plate so it lies flat with whatever surface you put it on so be aware! It doesn’t require much pressure either for the suction to stick. I put it on our granite counter top and it just sucks itself down.Design pt2: each parts of the plate holds more than enough food for my son. It allows him to use his fork and spoon without damaging the silicone he can he poke away at it and nothing happens. Plus, it’s entirely silicone meaning IT IS SO EASY TO CLEAN. I clean it after every meal and EVERYTHING, oatmeal, eggs, yogurt, curry, rice, veggie patties, anything and everything, washes right off. For me that is 100% in my book. I feed him 3-4 meals a day so it’s imperative food washes off instantly. Or even if I leave it in the sink, between meals, I can quickly wash it before his next meal and everything still comes off. Not sure if dishwasher safe, but I never put any of his plates, cups, utensils in the dishwasher. I’ve read too many reviews complaint of smells after it is in the dishwasher. Just wash it by hand so the a scrub, soap, and hot water. It will all come right off. Btw, this silicone plate is NOT thin or flimsy at all. It is thicker and not too flexible, but still flexes. It won’t bend if you put large amounts or heavy food on it.Design pt 3: the Color is so vibrant and rich! Obviously, it was darker in person bc I’m pretty sure they use lighting when taking photos of the plates. I used to work e-business in the marketing and I saw how photos were taken. I got the blue. While it was darker in person, I didn’t care. I still loved the color. It doesn’t fade, it’s blue, it’s rich, it looks nice, but most importantly, it does what I need and want it to do.I really really love this silicone suction plate over all the others. For me, it’s a good price for what I need and want it to do especially when compared to brand names like Bumkins or Munchkins. For now, I just have 1 plate. I may consider getting another plate so one stays home and one when we eat out.
