This review is from: Skip Hop Mate Feeding Plate and Utensils (Baby Product)

I ordered this plate because my youngest son, at 21 months, loves to throw his food, plate, bowl, utensils, etc. He is a great eater, but as soon as he's done, things start flying. I took a chance ordering this plate online, but I'm definitely happy with it. It's quite a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but it's the perfect size for a toddler. I wish the mat had suction cups, but it's a firm plastic with non-skid silicone strips on the bottom. It doesn't move very easily, and because of the shape of the edges, my son can't easily get his fingers under it. He also loves that the fork and spoon fit onto the mat, and enjoys putting them on and off the posts, as well as putting his fingers through the holes in the utensils, rather than throwing them. And, when the plate in snapped into the mat, he can't remove it. So far, he has been able to push it away from him, with quite a bit of effort (as opposed to a normal plate), but hasn't tried to pick it up. I think the smiley face design is cute enough to leave on the table between meals, and my 3-year-old is already asking us to buy one for him (although I think he's a little old for it). Overall, I like it and would buy it again.

My 12 month daughter makes a mess out of meal time. We have always fed her off the table top but I wanted to start feeding her off of a plate. I purchased the Boon no slip plate but all she did was pick the plate off the table and hand it back to me. It is so light that it was relatively easy to pick it up. So the Skip Hop plate was my next attempt at feeding off of something other than a table.

I have found that nothing short of nailing it to a table will prevent any child from picking it up. With a good amount of effort, she was able to pick this base w/plate up, but it is bulkier and heavier than any plate out there. There are also tacky grips on the bottom so it prevents her from pushing the base across the table. She cannot push the base plate for sure, but she can pick it up if she set her mind to it. I try to distract her by giving her the fork and spoon. Now she tries to spear food with her fork and no longer tries to lift the entire plate. I suppose spearing is more of a challenge than lifting. I have to say that the fork and spoon are a good size for her hands and a good shape for picking up food.

Lastly, she has been able to separate off the white plate from the base by grabbing the dividers and spill food. But I have found that spreading a little olive oil on the dividers have positively foiled any attempts at picking off the white plate. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it makes for a cleaner meal.

I wish that they sold extra utensils and white plates so I don't have to wash it after every meal. I definitely don't want to pay for a new set and base!

2.0 out of 5 stars Impractical, not worth its cost, December 11, 2010

This plate is not worth its money. The placemat claims to be stay-put, but it moves very easily. It only has very small skidproof strips on the bottom, and when my 8-month old tugs at it, it slides around. Also, she very easily picks the plate up by using the dividers - it does not lock into place at all. Food also falls into the crevice around the plate, and all over the placemat. It's not really practical because then I just end up washing two plates instead of one. I wanted to use this with a tray-less high chair that attaches to a table, but now I've decided to go with the fisher price booster Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat - Blue/Green/Gray that has a tray already so there is no need for a plate, and is a good alternative to having a big ugly high chair. The whole booster seat is just a little more than this plate cost!
