This provides incredible strength and resilience while also enjoying all the inherent anti-bacterial and anti-microbial qualities of the bamboo plant. Perfectly designed for meals at all times of day, the segmented dinosaur design of this plate allows you to keep foods separated for easy feeding, while the heat-resistant properties of bamboo keep tiny fingers protected should they reach out and touch the sides. The star of this particular culinary show, however, is the large "stay put" suction cup - attach to the base of your plate, press down onto the table top or high chair, and relax as the dish remains firmly fixed in place - no more of those social media pictures, thank you very much! Once feeding time is over, simply pull the tiny tab on the edge of the suction pad to release.

FAQs
How do I properly clean the bamboo plate?
Hand wash the plate with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. Do not soak the plate or place it in a dishwasher.
What surfaces does the suction cup work best on?
The suction cup works best on smooth, flat, and non-porous surfaces like sealed wood, glass, and plastic high chair trays. It may not work well on textured or uneven surfaces.
Is the bamboo material safe for my child?
Yes, the plate is made from 100% natural bamboo and is free from melamine and other harmful chemicals. Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial.
Can I put this plate in the microwave or dishwasher?
No, this plate is not suitable for microwave or dishwasher use. Hand washing and air drying are required.
How do I detach the plate from the table?
Simply pull the small tab located on the edge of the suction pad to release the suction. This makes removal quick and easy after mealtime.
What are the benefits of bamboo for children's tableware?
Bamboo is a sustainable, natural material that is durable, heat-resistant, and possesses natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, making it a safe and hygienic choice for children's meals.
Will the suction feature work on all high chair trays?
The suction works best on smooth, flat high chair trays. Some textured or uneven trays may not provide a strong enough surface for the suction to adhere effectively.
Troubleshooting
Plate suction is not holding
Ensure both the suction cup and the surface are clean and completely dry. The surface must be smooth and flat. Re-apply pressure firmly to the center of the plate to create a seal.
Suction releases unexpectedly
Check for any food debris or moisture trapped under the suction cup or on the surface. Ensure the suction cup is not damaged. Try a different, smoother surface.
Plate appears stained
Bamboo can sometimes stain from highly pigmented foods. Hand wash immediately after use and dry thoroughly. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed.
Bamboo feels rough after washing
This is normal. Ensure the plate is dried completely. If it feels very rough, a light sanding with very fine-grit sandpaper followed by a wipe with food-safe mineral oil can help restore smoothness.
