3.0 out of 5 stars Suction is good, but child can lift bowl...., May 20, 2010

I'll start out by saying that I do think this is the best suction bowl you will find. I have 2 kids and I've tried them all. Most suction bowls just don't stick. Don't know if I can mention other specific brands in my review- but trust me, I've tried them all- at least 4 other major brands sold here on amazon.com and they are all worthless... may as well just be a regular bowl.

I have one of these exact bowls from when my older son was a baby (in slightly different colors, but same manufacturer) and the old one is the ONLY suction bowl that I have that actually stays stuck ALWAYS. So I was very excited to find these- hoping they would be just as great as my old one. BUT they are not. The suction does not stick as well. It is easy to see why- the suctions on the new bowls that I just received are slightly irregular around the edges, creating a space for air to get under the bowl and release the suction.

As I said in my title, the suction is pretty good on the bowls I just received- but the bowls can be lifted by the baby. I am lucky- however, in that the bottom suction removes from the bowls and my old suction bottom works perfectly with the new bowls creating a super strong child proof seal. So overall I am happy with my purchase. And I must mention again- even this new version that is not absolutely perfect is better than any other suction bowl that I have found.

One last tip- never put your suctions in the dishwasher!!!! Even if the manufacturer says they are dishwasher safe- it ruins any suction ability the bowl once had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Suction bowls, August 14, 2009

I purchased several suction bowls including the munchkin 3 suction bowl and the meal mates are by far the BEST I have used. They actually stay suctioned. My twins however have figured out how to pull them up, but I just push them back down again. Other bowls that I have tried have remained suctioned for a few seconds and then loosened. They are not very deep which has made it great to teach my twins to self feed using either their hands (preferred method) or spoon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would be great except for the handles..., March 12, 2011

The suction on this bowl is very good. Better then any I have tried. Unfortunately, my super strong baby grabs the handles and pulls it off( he has to pull so hard that whatever is in the bowl then goes flying across the dining room.) If it did not have handles he would not be able to get such a good grip on the bowl. We have had other suction bowls with no handles that in general did not stick well even without someone pulling on it. This bowl sticks great and does require an amount of force to remove. Would be good for babies not interested in removing it, or babies of average strength.
