Lovely little dish with chewy spoons
After reading many mixed reviews of this dish I'm glad I finally just went ahead and ordered it. It is such a nice design - handsome and clean lines with great colors, it makes my whole kitchen look and feel a little bit 'cutting edge' or 'modern' (I'm not kidding, even my husband thinks this set is "cool") and the spoons are my baby's favorite (he's 7 months old).

A big disappointmet
After hearing all the good news about these plates, I decided to dish out the money for them. Instead of being thrilled, I have become more and more disappointed with them. My son picked them up and threw them on the floor. They now have cracks down the middle of them. They are way too easy to crack. However, the spoons are wonderful. I wish they sold the spoons...

Lovely little dish with chewy spoons, September 17, 2006
After reading many mixed reviews of this dish I'm glad I finally just went ahead and ordered it. It is such a nice design - handsome and clean lines with great colors, it makes my whole kitchen look and feel a little bit 'cutting edge' or 'modern' (I'm not kidding, even my husband thinks this set is "cool") and the spoons are my baby's favorite (he's 7 months old). My 2 and 3 year old toddlers like to use the spoons too!
I am writing to clear up a few misconceptions that other reviewers had mentioned; here's what I found: first of all, my set came with two spoons in different colors and one bowl. The bowl and the rim are separate pieces that snap together too firmly for baby to take apart, but might come apart if the bowl hits the floor like ours did (but it did not break and I can't imagine that it ever will). The rim is sort of rubbery and skid-resistant, the plastic bowl hangs suspended from the rim and the 'splayed' design of the rim allows for a lot of baby's reaching in and pushing food around and out without it tipping. This is not the case with 'normal'/traditional bowl-shaped baby dishes which tilt, rock, roll and then go spinning off the highchair tray. It's not tip-proof, it does not suction to the tray and your baby will eventually figure out how to pick it up. But, even after my little guy figured all that out, he still seems more interested in chasing his food around and then victoriously jamming it into his mouth with the sloping sides of the dish really helping him to get the job done. (He's still using his fingers at this point, the spoon is for me to help him right now).
You can wash this in a dishwasher (yay!) you can use it in a microwave too (yay!) but take care never to 'boil' the food, just zap very briefly to gently warm up cold mac-n-cheese, for example. (The lable warns not to exceed 194 degrees).
The spoons are wonderful; hard plastic with a rounded edge (that is gentle on baby's still toothless gums) to scoop the food while the handle is rubbery and easy for baby to hold and/or chomp on while those teeth work their way on out. We also splurged and got the matching adjustable bibs for all three kids. My experience with Baby Bjorn design thus far is definitely a 5 star rating!

Second child loves it too!, December 4, 2006
We had this for my son and 2 years later are passing it down to my daughter. She loves it just as much as he did. It does sit well on the tray and we have had great luck in keeping it there. The spoons are well designed so more goes into the mouth and less into the lap. The colors are great, it is dishwasher safe, and most importantly, my kids love it. The contoured sides make it easier for them to get the food on the spoon without pushing it out of the dish. I loved every Bjorn item we have and this is no exception.

awesome, awesome, awesome!, April 19, 2006
THis plate is wonderful. It works as well as it claims, but I actually love the spoons the most. They are the perfect fit for small hands. My four year old still loves them and my 20 month old has been using them for some time.

Not bad, October 3, 2008
I went BabyBjorn crazy and bought a lot of their product line once my daughter was old enough to start using it. I think that their line is "Ok" but not the greatest overall. I actually bought 2 of this set. This set comes with 2 spoons (black and pink) and 1 pink dish. Great colors. The spoon fits well in my 15 months hand and mouth and she likes it. I have to hold the plate as she eats because the bowl moves with slight force. She is also able to pick it up and throw it though the instructions say that picking the bowl up for a baby is difficult. Not so. I was very concerned about it being plastic but it is NOT #7 (hard plastic) and is free of BPA. Hard plastic and #7 plastics are the ones we need to stay away from though all plastic is questionable. This set is "ok" as she learns to eat from a bowl with a spoon, but then it's quickly on to a non plastic dish. Still looking for stainless steel baby bowl. Please DO NOT put ANY plastic in a microwave especially food for your baby. There are just too may unknowns out there about plastic.

Great for baby's learning to use a spoon!, December 26, 2006
We just recieved this plate and spoon set for Christmas. The spoon and plate are perfectly shaped to pick up food that would normally slide up and out of the plate as the child tries to scoop it up with the spoon. The plate is also harder for our son to pick up and dump. It is sturdy and well made. The spoons have little indentations on the back of them so you can sit the spoon on the side of the plate without it falling in! This is a great product.

Better Than I expected!, December 10, 2006
I was looking around for the best feeding dish when this bowl/spoon caught my eye. I read the reviews and purchased it. It was the best bowl/spoon I have ever sat in front of a kiddo! Too bad I didn't discover it until my fourth child! Like other good reviews, the shape is excellent for cornering food, the sides are not too high to be a challenge getting the food up and out of the bowl. The chunky spoon is perfect and the rubber rim is perfect at giving the grip needed to offset the pressure the scooping of food makes to the edge of the bowl. My little guy was an independent eater at 1 1/2 half, I should add the he has Down Syndrome and found eating with this bowl a breeze! I would suggest that the first time you give it to your child you stand behind the highchair and guide the childs hand to the bowl, scoop and bring to his mouth. I did this demonstration twice and he took right off!! He does throw the bowl when the food is gone, and it has never broken in almost a year of use.

~*~Easy for my Twins to "finger eat", doesn't tip or slip, my Favorite Bowls~*~, October 19, 2009
These are by far my favorite dishes for my Twins to eat out of and we have a lot of different bowls.
My girls are able to grab more food out of these than any of their other dishes, this is due to the sloped & smooth insides.
This does not slide all over their high chair tray, it stays right where I put it.
It does not tip as many of their other bowls do.
These are easy to clean & I hand wash them. I just un-snap the 2 pieces wash them and snap them back together when they are dry. This is VERY easy but a child would not be able to do it.
These also fit together so they take up less space!!
These are a little pricy but I figured since it was something we would be using EVERYDAY, several times a day, it was worth getting something that worked great and would not wear out.
Several people have complained that their child is able to pick these up & throw them and are dissapointed. Ummmmm, DUH!! If your child is able to pick things up and throw them since this is not glued down, held by some magnetic force, etc. then yes, they will be able to pick it up. That is just common sense. These are just harder to pick up. Try teaching your child some manners, yes, even at 1 year old children can be taught not to do something. If you are having trouble with your child throwing their plate then perhaps you should be looking for a book on teaching your child some manners instead of trying to fix the problem with a bowl!
