Nummy BOWL - Pure Silicone Bowl with Hidden Suction Cup for Babies and Toddlers | BPA and Phthalate Free | Microwave and Dishwasher Safe | Great Baby Gift (Purple, Core Collection)

Summary: we love this plate/bowl. It is well built and sturdy, attaches to the table well, and best of all, it is microwave and dishwasher safe - should I say anything else? Oh yeah, its super cute in the shape of a dog!This bowl is super high quality and convenient. I am able to scoop my son's food into it, put it in the microwave and directly attach the bowl to his high chair. When he is done eating, I put the bowl straight into the dishwasher or I quickly wash it myself. The silicone material makes it very easy to clean. Prior to this bowl, I had to scoop the food into a plate that I would microwave and then transfer the food to a plastic suction bowl. Life is simpler now. The suction cup is also much much better than other bowls that we own. If my son really tries to yank the bowl out of his high chair, he is able to do so, but for 98% of the time, it provides more than enough suction to keep the bowl attached and his dinner away from splatting all over the floor. The weight of the plate/bowl is also nice and shows that the company did not skimp on the quality. Lastly, this can also be used as a plate. Do not think of this product as a soup bowl. We use it for liquids and for solids. The medium depth makes it easy for my son, whose motor skills are still developing, to spoon/spork his food out. Lastly, the dog shape is just the icing on the cake. Its not necessary, but it is a super nice touch to make the bowl as cute and fun as it is useful.

The nummy bowl is our favorite suction cup plate/bowl solution for our plate-tossing toddler. We have an Abiie Beyond highchair, which unbeknownst to me when we chose it, has a smaller-than-standard tray. The nummy bowl is one of very few plate-like solutions that actually fits our highchair. And, of all those we've found that fit, this is the only one that sticks and stays stuck. We take a nummy bowl with us to restaurants and it is a lifesaver. It does not stick perfectly to textured surfaces and needs some repeated pressing to secure it throughout a meal on a textured table. But it's still the best we've found. On a smooth surface it is rock solid. We recently had a formal dinner for a family member's milestone birthday at a restaurant with tablecloths. (Yikes!) Determined to bring the nummy bowl with us, I devised a non-slip placemat hack to secure the nummy bowl on the tablecloth (2 placemats - one smooth placemat on top to suction on the nummy bowl, and one non-slip placemat between the smooth placemat and the tablecoth.) It totally worked and we had a great fancy dinner with no toddler shenanigans.We have 4 nummy bowls to-date. The nummy bowls wash easily in the dishwasher. We have 3 red and 1 blue. The blue one gets weird white residue on it after the dishwasher. I have seen the same thing happen with blue silicone bakeware. I don't think it's the fault of the nummy bowl. It's just something about that color / material combo that doesn't work great with our dishwasher detergent. It's not a show-stopper and I just clean the blue one more by hand. And now I only buy the red. I wish they came in neutral colors. I'd buy many more if they had grey or beige or some other practical, but boring color. Despite the primary colors, we love them and they have made mealtimes much nicer!

We like this bowl because it is nice and deep which is great for things like yogurt and cereal. It sticks reasonably well to flat smooth surfaces. The suction cup is not easily reachable , which makes it harder for little hands to figure out how to flip it over. It is made of good quality silicone and is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The bowl is a little on the heavy side, but it is compact if you don't mind a little added weight in your baby bag.

Update 2/8/18:Well, my son has learned how to pull this bowl up. He started doing this a couple of months ago around his first birthday, rendering this bowl almost useless because I bought it for the suction. Also, the material takes on the smell of dish soap, which in turn makes his food taste horrible when in contact with the bowl. Too bad. We will be tossing these bowls.Original review:I spent weeks searching for a suction plate/bowl for my son's Boon Flair high chair, narrowing down to this one and another well-known brand. (For those who have this high chair, you understand the challenge in finding a plate that fits.) I decided to go with the Nummy bowl because of the high walls and th design of the suction cup. I figured at some point, my 10-month old will learn to self-feed soup and the like, so this bowl fits the bill in design and function. I've had the bowl for a couple of days now and it's met my expectations. I am impressed with the weight and feel of the material. Right out of the package I could tell this is a quality product. The silicone is rigid, but still has some give. It's been easy to hand-wash, and the suction cup works GREAT. During its first use, my son tried to pull the bowl up. It wiggled ever so slightly but didn't come off the high chair tray. The second time I used it was for spaghetti. Let me tell you - cleanup had never been easier! In the past, I would just pile the pasta directly on his high chair tray. Without fail, my son would always swipe his food on the ground with his hands. Not this time! I am very pleased. As another reviewer suggested, it would be great if a future design included a lid of some sort, but even without, I am pleased with this bowl.
