KIDDIEBITES | 100% Silicone Plates for Babies & Kids | Made in The USA | BPA, BPS, Lead, Cadmium, PVC, & Phthalate Free | Children's Divided Placemat Set | Clear, 2 Pack

We purchased these plates for our grandson about a month ago. My daughter was using a different brand which was a mat type version. We keep him fairly often and I hated the ones she was using. They were difficult to clean (too bulky to fit in the sink) and just didn't "feel right" if that makes any sense. If you have ever handled pure silicone, you know what it feels like and there is no substitute. I am scientifically and research oriented - degrees in biology and chemistry - so I began extensive research to find the perfect dinnerware. I closely examined multiple companies, their claims, and read most every review. Even the dinnerware that had "glowing reviews" - as did the one my daughter was using - had several reviews that gave me pause. So I kept digging further and found very deceptive terms used. A lot of them stated that their product was made in other countries but that they - or someone they hired - regularly checked up on the manufacturing process. I, personally, am tired of purchasing substandard products that are made in other countries that don't have the same regulations as the U.S. Don't mean to offend anyone but it's very difficult - if not impossible - to ensure that something made in a far away place is made to the exact standards requested by the company. That being said, unless a company oversees the manufacturing process in any country - including the U.S. - shortcuts can be taken such as adding other substances to silicone thus rendering it not 100% silicone - which is what happened to the brand she was using. When these plates arrived, I got my daughter to feel the difference between these and the mat type she was using. The mat ones were chalky feeling. When I showed her the pinch test, she was appalled. She had been so careful to choose the safest plates she could - or so she thought. Quality dinnerware is not cheap. It's even more expensive to have it made in the U.S. which is why the great majority of companies go to other countries to have it manufactured. I, personally, am willing to pay more for a quality product which was made in the U.S. - as it is much easier for the company to keep an eye on the manufacturing process - assuming they do so. I believe this company has done just that. Please forgive the rant. I am just sick of misleading advertising and outright lies by some companies. When it comes to my family's health, I am most willing to go the extra mile, take an exorbitant amount of time looking deep into a company and their claims, so that I can make a truly "informed decision" regarding things I purchase for them.....especially something that could potentially impact their health. Our grandson is eating food off of it after all. Pretty important. Just so you know, we paid full price for these plates and have no affiliation with the company or anyone associated with it whatsoever. I just want people to really pay attention to a company's claims and then follow up to make sure the claims are true. If you read this review to this point, bless you. I hope this helps you and prompts you not to believe everything you read. Do the work and verify the claims. If you don't look out for your family and their health, who will?

I wanted to love these because they’re durable, dishwasher/microwave safe, and much healthier than plastic. They hold a nice amount of food. But they taste like soap, even after I started hand-washing them with very mild, fragrance free soap. I was able to remove the soap taste by soaking in vinegar and rinsing, but I’m just not willing to take the time to do that since I already have plenty to do with two little kids.

My main purpose for buying these particular silicone kids plates were because they are MADE IN THE USA! I no longer trust products from China and have heard stories or potentially inferior silicone being use on China product. Can't be bothered trying to guess if a China product is good or not. I also happen to love the size and the sections! And they wash up nicely. Just perfect for my two Toddlers!

As a mom I’m always looking for ways to cut toxins out of my kids lives. I didn’t like using plastic plates but ceramic broke and they would bang the stainless steel plates together, so noisy!These plates are a great compromise. I love that they are 100% silicone and made in the USA! The dividers are great for my son who doesn’t like his food to touch. The size is slightly larger than the plastic ikea plates I usually use. We used these plates for dinner last night and they held plenty of food for my 4 1/2 and almost 6 year olds. I did drop the plates once, I have to remember to hold with both hands and be careful stacking as they aren’t as rigid as plastic plates. I love that I can microwave these plates and not worry about toxins leaking into their food.The plates cleaned up easily, were easy to hand wash but I also tossed them in the dishwasher.Would recommend.

I read reviews that said it’s hard to scoop food out due to the angle of the walls in the plate, and I should have listened. I can’t even do it myself not alone my toddler. The food just slips back into the portion sections. So it’s good for finger foods but not anything to use with a spoon and pretty much a fork too.

This comes in a pack of 2. It is made of silicone and has a very smooth texture to them. They have 3 divided sections, each with a good amount of space so you can definitely fit a full meal here (even in adult portions). These are microwaveable and dishwasher safe! Sometimes you just want to heat up your child's food. They are easy to store and stackable. They also have a bit of weight to them. I have a 6 month old and she can only slightly pick up the edges, but I haven't seen her pick up the whole plate, which means no throwing them on the floor and making a mess! The silicone provides great traction on tables or high chair trays (as what I use). Also, they are flexible which means you can bend them and easily take them wherever you go, but still maintains its shape well. I love that parents made these because their concerns are probably all the same concerns we have as parents too. My only complaint is that, they are a bit pricey for 2, but you get what you pay for. They ARE quality kiddie plates. I can't deny that.

This plate has no suction power but that’s not at all a deal breaker. It’s is heavy enough to make it a bit difficult for my little one to not throw it on the floor. I like that it has compartments that are deep enough and that it is ridiculously easy to clean. You can microwave the food in there (quick 10 secs is usually more than enough), throw it in the dishwasher if you feel lazy, cut your baby’s food in there... whatever you do the plate remains intact. Excellent quality! We bought it around 6 months ago and use it every day, three times a day. The plate looks like new. Definitely worth the the money!

my 1 yo loves them. interestingly, we started out feeding her off the high chair tray and she constantly threw her food on the floor and tossed it around the tray but as soon as we started serving it on these plates she was no longer interested in making a mess. love that the plates are made in the USA and the size is just right. easy to clean by hand and dishwasher friendly too. I wish they would start producing silicone bakeware!
