I got these for my 18 month old who was having some angular issues trying to curve his arm enough to get food directly into his mouth with regular kiddie utensils. I figured awesome - you can bend as much or as little as you need to. Well my problem is that 1) they bend way too easily and 2) the amount of food they can hold is pretty much the same as an infant feeding spoon. I thought portion size changed with age a bit? My son gets aggrevated cuz he can barely get any food on the spoon to begin with due to the small size, and on top of that it ends up bending even more while he's scooping something up. Then it's over compensated for, and counter-productive. The concept seems good in theory, but I don't think I would waste my money on them again.

These were a great size for my 1 yr old to start eating with. The fork was easily used and really did stab things and get them up to his mouth. The spoon was also a good size.

However, kids don't only use one hand all the time, so I found the good idea of bending kind of silly once executed.

Putting them in the dishwasher caused them to become discolored. They are no longer white and blue but beige and faded.

I loved the concept for this spoon and fork set so purchased it for my 10 month old son. A 10 to 11 month old child chews just about everything that he can get his hands on. My son is no exception. He took to the spoon and fork and would chew it from every angle. Much to my dismay, he was able to bite off a chunk of the orange material. This set is NOT safe for the advertised age of 9 months and up. Two stars for the concept. I am returning this product to Amazon.com.

We love these utensils!! We custom "bend" them for our son and he can feed himself with little mess...well little mess for a 15 month old. We also like that they can be straightened for when he is a "big boy." Great Product!

We've gotten quite a bit of use out of these spoons in comparison to other baby spoons. They bend to the necessary angle, whether that's to feed our son or allow him to learn to self-feed. They have just the right amount of flexibility for staying put once you bend them, but aren't to difficult to change positions. They'll turn side to side and/or angle up or down. A great buy that I've already recommended to others.

I bought these because I thought the bendable feature was a good idea. But now that I have them, I think that is the only good feature. The mouth of the spoon and fork is much too small for anything to rest on them. The fork, in particular, is so rounded that I don't think it could stab anything, not even a bean. This is a bad buy, and the first time I have been disappointed with a Boon product!

I like how chunky and easy to hold they are. I also really like how they bend; my son was having trouble with standard silverware because he couldn't curve his wrist all the way around. Cute colors, too!

My only complaint is that the fork is more like a dull spork. my son has trouble stabbing some food because it's not very pointy - which is probably on purpose for safety reasons...

I would probably recommend these to others.

We have only used the spoon so far, but it is excellent for little ones learning how to feed themselves. The ability to adjust the neck of the spoon to any angle for your kiddo sets this spoon far above the other angled spoon/fork pairs. The spoon head itself leaves a bit to be desired; it is a perfect circle with a lip all the way around, so it makes it difficult for the little one to actually get the food off the spoon once its in his mouth. I'd have given the set 5 stars if the spoon head were designed like a normal spoon. Still, its a great set, and the little guy was successful in feeding himself on the first try, thanks to the spoon's design!

Great product. I like that it adjusts. Just wish the spoon had a bigger hole you can only fit like 1 fruit loop on the spoon at a time.

This spoon is awesome. It really helps where my little one has the basic motion down but the wrong angle to get the spoon in her mouth. Just bend the head to compensate for how she holds it and voila! in her mouth the food goes. Also the shape of the spoon head holds the food in well.
