Boon Saucer Slip Resistant Plate, Orange
I bought this primarily for the slip resistance and because it is BPA-free. Unfortunately, the slip resistance is all but nonexistent. The rim around the bottom of the plate has the equivalent of a rubber band to keep it from skidding. I suppose it does offer a tiny bit of resistance, but I’d say it is maybe 2% less likely to be thrown on the floor than any other lightweight plastic plate. It is extremely light, just like any cheap plastic baby plate.
We have been using it for our baby anyway, and she does seem to like the added scoopability with this plate, as it is a bit easier to grab things from the rounded compartments. Unless your child has a lot of trouble picking things up from any other plate or bowl, though, I see no reason to buy this plate.

I bought this for my 11 month old to use as we transition him from using the tray on his booster seat to sitting at the table. He picked it up and dumped it the very first time we used it; so much for the claims of it being hard for little hands to turn over. I’m giving it two stars instead of just one because it is sturdy and well made, as my son proved when he flung it off of the table.

Nicely made dish, but it’s rubberized edge is supposed to stop small hands from picking it up. The first time we used it, my 8 month old picked it up and flung it right off the flat, smooth, clean, corian countertop. So, nice plate, but don’t expect it to stay where you put it.

I was hoping that this plate would stay put on the table since my 11 month old daughter likes to self feed. The bottom of the dish has a rubberized base that is flush against the plastic plate so there is no edge for any tiny fingers to grab. I really wanted this to work but the moment I placed it in front of my daughter, she picked it up and handed it to me. I wanted a less expensive alternative to the Skip Hop feeding plate so I could purchase a few to have on hand. Now I’m going to try the Skip Hop plate and keep my fingers crossed.

Yes, this plate can be picked up, but it’s much harder to pick up than most and it won’t slide around on the table. When we first tried using it my daughter (then 9 or 10 months) was also just interested in picking it up and dumping it, but we put it away for a little while and brought it back out when she was more interested in the food (11 or 12 months) and since then she hasn’t done it anymore. I’m not sure if there are any plates out there that can truly deter a determined 10 month old! Since the profile is so low to the table and there’s no rim for her to grab, she doesn’t even think about it as long as she’s got food. She only turns it over when it’s empty. So for those of you who have had trouble, try with a slightly older baby. The size is great for a younger toddler, it’s perfect for finger foods, the design is cute and it cleans up easily. I especially like the separated compartments and the price is great compared to many of the alternatives. We have two now.
