Best of Baby Winner for Best Baby Tableware

And the Winner Is: Loulou Lollipop Silicone Suction Snack Plate

Mealtime with baby is a gleefully messy affair. Food will be smeared across their tray, their bib and their hands and face, and once they discover the joy of tossing items (anything, everything!) onto the floor, forget about it. That’s why parents love a good suction plate. The trick, of course, is to find a suction that actually works, which is harder than you might think. Good news: These new plates from Loulou Lollipop are certainly up to the task. Simply press down and they’ll stick to—and stay on—almost any smooth surface. Plus, the animal-themed tableware is beyond cute and sure to delight your tot as they grow—which is key when you’re trying to entice your finicky toddler to the table.

What We Love

• The plates are made from 100 percent food-grade silicone that’s free of BPA, phthalates, lead, cadmium and other harmful substances. They’re safe for baby to eat from—and they’re safe to place in the microwave and dishwasher. Quick reheating and easy clean-up? Parents, rejoice!

• The Born to Be Wild tableware collection is available in a range of adorable animal shapes, including bunnies, elephants, rhinos, alligators and lions, that parents and littles will equally love

• A strong suction on the back of the plates adheres to most smooth surfaces, which means less mess for baby to make and you to clean up
