Boon Spill Catcher Baby Bowl, Blue/Green

Received these little bowls a few days ago for 20 month old twin boys who love to throw things and play with their food. We've tried everything imaginable to get them to stop, and while they've gotten better - it's still a problem. Or was, until I found these bowls. The suction, unlike some other products, is super strong, and it is impossible for even an adult to lift just by pulling. To lift up, just lift an edge to break the seal, very simple and easy. The spill catcher works very well, and the boys can now eat yogurt, oatmeal, and even soup unassisted without creating a big mess. The bowls clean up very quickly, food slides off easily. My only complaint is I wish is came in other colors, but otherwise they are perfect.

I’m not saying they’ve never gotten it off the granite countertops, but it sticks pretty darn well, prevents accidental knock overs. Only been a problem if I try to ignore the babies too long and they get bored. Also best if the granite is dry. If their is enough slipperiness, it gets easily nocked/pulled to the edge of the counter, where it then breaks the suction. I have no idea if the spill catcher actually does much... admittedly haven’t been paying attention, but I’m pretty sure i’ve washed yogurt off of it. No wear problems yet, but I’ve only used 10ish times, and I just hand wash so it’s ready for the next meal. Have used at 11m. and 12 m. with my twins.

Feeding babies and teaching toddlers to feed themselves is an arduous task. Until the baby has some teeth, or has serious resolve, most of the food is pureed and requires a bowl. That is all seems fine and you imagine yourself lovingly spooning the nutritious puree into the rosy mouth of your clean and cooing child. The reality is that most kids let you feed them about 5 times and then they learn to grab the feeding utensil and thwart our every effort. In combination, they lack the requisite gross and fine motor skills for feeding themselves until they are closer to 2 years old. You have to cede the spoon and the reality is that the bowlful of puree will end up on the floor/rug/chair/parental lap. Or, if your kid has a good arm, it will end up on all four things. The bowl needs to resist sweeping arm motions and stay in place as your cherub learns to scoop up their food with a spoon. You need a bowl with a suction cup. This is the right bowl. Buy more than one. Wash them well and push them onto the tray of your child's high chair firmly. They will peel it off now and then, but most of the time they won't. With this bowl there will be a bit less food on the floor/kid and high chair--this means 5 more minutes of whatever great activity you enjoy versus scrubbing down for the next meal. You may even achieve the lofty goal of eating (six or seven bites) with your child if they can't immediately dump the meal you just prepared for them.

I had high hopes for the Boon Catch Bowl. Love the modern, clean look and happy colors. It is well-sized at the "catcher" feature does help keep things a bit cleaner for messy eaters. But there a a few drawbacks that ultimately brought down my review to three stars: 1) The description is "dishwasher safe." Be careful-- even in the top rack, with heat off, this bowl will warp. 2) The "flexible" catcher can work to limit messes-- but the fact that is is so bouncy/flexible means that it sort of invites kiddos to play, flip food into the air, etc. 3) The cather and bowl are two separate plastic pieces that are melded together. After a few washers (again, in top rack), I noticed some separation along the connection. This is an invitation for germs and looks very unattractive. 4) The colors are BRIGHT. MUCH brigher than in the photos. Make sure you know what you are getting! 5) The suction works well on a table, but not well on highchairs. It is very easy for most children to lift this bowl. Overall, its an okay bowl. Just okay.

All the suction cup bowls have the same criticisms: they are not completely baby-proof. I feel like if you're a parent, you should have known better. That being said, you would hope to have some spill protection, and I think this bowl provides it. My son (11 mo) uses this bowl at his clamp on high chair on top of the tray. The suction on this surface is pretty good. If he gets curious and tugs on the bowl, it doesn't give and tip over. It CAN be pulled off by him if he is very persistent. Usually he does not spend that much time trying to get it loose until he is pretty much done eating and is getting bored. So basically, the times when he has successfully peeled it off and tossed it on the floor were only when I was sort of not paying as much attention to him as I should have, or when the bowl was already empty so I let it happen. The spill catcher is a little awkward for my son right now because I don't think he's quite tall enough for it to be really helpful. It's very close to his face because of his level with respect to the table right now, and because of that it kind of bothers him (leading him to grab and pull on it, and it can give some pretty good leverage on breaking the suction seal). Usually I don't even face it towards him. It has saved a few things from falling, and I think it'll be pretty useful as he gets older and taller. We have also taken the bowl with us when we go out to restaurants and things, and its usefulness varies depending on what kind of surface their tables and/or table clothes are. In most cases, just like at home, it CAN be peeled off, but if it creates any sort of seal, it gives us enough time to stop it from happening. Overall, I'm happy with this bowl. A regular bowl would take my son about .2 seconds to flip over onto the floor. This bowl resists occasional curious tugs and takes real effort to get off when on a suitable surface. On a textured surface or table cloth, the resistance is less, but usually gives me as a parent enough time to intervene before the entire bowl goes flying.

Waste of money......does not serve the purpose it intends to..... and it's non returnable 😬😬

Tolle Schale in guter Größe. Was die Gummi-Auffang-Halterung bringt, kann ich noch nicht ausprobieren, da unser Kleiner noch nicht selber löffelt. Allerdings hält der Saugnapf super auf dem Tischchen des Leiterhochstuhls und allen anderen festen, glatten Oberflächen. Auf Wachstuchdecken hält die Schale nicht, da der Untergrund nicht fest genug ist. Ich bin jedenfalls sehr zufrieden mit der Schale, denn unser Krümel kriegt die nicht vom Tisch gefegt! Ich befeuchte den Saugnaupf vorher immer mit ein wenig Wasser. Und: Das Material riecht auch nicht unangenehm oder chemisch, das ist ja bei Kinderartikeln immer wichtig zu wissen. Nachtrag August 2016: Die Gummi-Auffang-Halterung ist sehr praktisch, wenn die Krümel anfangen selber zu löffeln. Da geht nicht mehr so viel daneben. Die Spülmaschine hat die Schale auch lange Zeit gut überlebt und der Gummisaugnapf hält immer noch. Im Großen und Ganzen hat uns die Schale 1 Jahr treue Dienste geleistet und wird für das Geschwisterchen aufgehoben.

Excelente para sus primeras papillas, el copete de silicón es muy práctico y suave para cuando lo chupan y la ventosa que fija el plato a la superficie de vidrio o plástico es muy fuerte, evidentemente no se adhiere en madera o mesas rugosas

Best thing ever !!! The fact that I don’t have to worry about her making a mess due to the catch part of the bowl !! Went and bought x3 more !!!

Gosto muito, as cores na minha opinião são muito mais bonitas do que parecem nas imagens do produto. É verde água e a aba é amarela. A ventosa é boa (mas o meu filho já as sabe tirar), a parte da aba dá muito jeito quando são pequenos porque a colher arrasta ali e qualquer comida que esteja por baixo da colher fica na aba em vez de cair. Tenho 2 e comprei a terceira para oferecer.
