Product Information

Full details

This Tiny Dining Bella The Unicorn Bamboo Suction Plate is designed for parents seeking a mess-free and safe mealtimes for their toddlers. Its key benefit is the 'stay put' suction technology that prevents spills and plate-throwing. A potential caveat is that while the bamboo is naturally antibacterial, it requires specific care to maintain its integrity and appearance. This plate features a charming unicorn shape with segmented sections to keep foods separate, is crafted from 100% natural, melamine-free bamboo, and includes heat-resistant properties to protect little fingers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the bamboo sustainably sourced?

The product is crafted from 100% natural bamboo, which is a rapidly renewable resource, implying a focus on sustainability.

Can I put this plate in the dishwasher?

No, this plate is strictly for hand wash only. Dishwasher use can damage the bamboo and compromise the suction base.

How do I clean the suction base?

The suction base should be hand washed with the plate using warm, soapy water. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly and dried completely to maintain suction power.

What age is this plate suitable for?

This plate is designed for toddlers and young children who are transitioning to self-feeding, typically from around 6 months to 3 years old, or until they no longer require the suction feature.

Can the suction be removed for cleaning?

The suction cup is permanently attached to the plate and cannot be removed for separate cleaning.

Will the suction work on my baby's IKEA high chair tray?

The suction works best on smooth, flat, and non-porous surfaces. If your IKEA high chair tray meets these criteria, it should work effectively.

Is bamboo safe for babies?

Yes, the plate is made from 100% natural bamboo, which is naturally antibacterial, antimicrobial, and melamine-free, making it a safe material for baby food contact.

Troubleshooting

Suction cup not holding firmly

Ensure both the suction cup and the surface are clean, dry, and free from grease or residue. Press down firmly to create a seal. Check that the release tab is fully closed.

Plate has developed a faint odor

Bamboo is naturally porous. Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and air dry completely. You can also try rubbing a cut lemon over the surface and rinsing, or a light application of baking soda paste.

Staining on the bamboo surface

Promptly wash the plate after meals. For minor stains, try a paste of baking soda and water, gently scrub, and rinse. Avoid prolonged contact with strongly colored foods like tomato sauce or berries.

Bamboo appears dry or dull

Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the bamboo surface with a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb for a few hours, then wipe away any excess. Repeat as needed, typically every few months.

  • Segmented design helps keep foods separate.
  • Safe for children as it's free from melamine.
  • Durable and resilient material.

Cons

  • Requires hand washing and occasional oiling for maintenance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the suction feature, ensure the plate and the surface it will be placed on are clean and dry. Align the plate with the desired spot on the high chair tray or table, and press down firmly on the plate's base. The suction cup will create a seal.

Compatibility: The "stay put" suction technology works best on smooth, flat, and non-porous surfaces such as sealed wood, glass, plastic, or laminate. It may not adhere effectively to heavily textured, uneven, or porous surfaces like unfinished wood or some placemats.

Care Instructions:

  1. Hand Wash Only: Wash the plate with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
  2. Do Not Soak: Avoid leaving the plate to soak for extended periods.
  3. Air Dry: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or allow to air dry completely before storing.
  4. Oiling (Optional): To maintain the bamboo's natural luster and prevent drying, occasionally apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil with a soft cloth. Wipe off any excess.
  5. Not for Appliances: This plate is not suitable for microwave, oven, or dishwasher use.
