Plate and placemat moulded as one piece of food-grade silicone, so it suctions to the table and there is no plastic dish for a toddler to launch.
Divided plate in 304 stainless steel with a removable silicone suction ring — the food surface is metal, and the ring comes off so you can clean behind it.
Bamboo plate with a removable silicone suction ring and a matching spoon — a natural eating surface instead of moulded plastic, with the trade-offs bamboo brings.
Bamboo bowl with a removable silicone suction base and a spoon — for the porridge-and-yogurt stage, where a bowl that stays put matters more than a plate.
