We love these stylish Bamboo Bamboo Suction Bowl and Spoon Set! Say goodbye to your tot’s dinner hitting the floor in those early days of weaning with the clever suction pad, which unlike others on the market, doesn’t weaken over time. Our panel of mum testers loved how beautiful and easy to clean this weaning set was and wished they could get the soft silicone spoon in different sizes.
What they say:
“These all natural bowls are made from Bamboo and food-grade silicone protect your child from BPA, phthalates and other toxins. With a powerful suction base that grips the high chair tray or kiddie table to prevent spills, flips and throws. The cool-touch bamboo deters burns to baby's delicate fingers if they reach out for it during feeding. What’s more, the removable suction bottom on the Bamboo Bamboo set lets you transition bowls to regular use when your child outgrows them.”

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend the Bamboo Bamboo set to another mum because of how simple, yet effective, it is. The suction is great as it sticks right onto the highchair tray and stays put. I love that it's made from natural materials, meaning there are no nasty chemicals. It is very easy to clean and the spoon was a good length for my daughter, as she was able to pick it up herself.
How did this product make your life easier?
The suction feature on the bowl was fantastic as my baby couldn't throw it on the floor, which saved me time cleaning up. The bowl was noticeably easy to clean – even Weetabix that had been left for a while cleaned off with ease and needed hardly any scrubbing. It’s also really hand that the suction ring can be removed from the bowl, as it means no food can get stuck.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would – I love that the product is made from a natural material like bamboo and the suction aspect makes it different from any other product on the weaning market. The soft silicone of the spoon makes it appealing, as all others I've seen have been a hard plastic. The product can be used to serve finger foods so that babies can feed themselves, or for a spoon-fed meal. We do both and found it very useful in both situations.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only issue we had was the width of the spoon. I found it too wide for my six-month-old baby. If the company created a smaller spoon for babies and targeted the original at older toddlers, the product would be perfect.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
Yes, this product is good quality and not easily damaged or broken. It’s well designed and stops bowls being thrown on the floor. It is also easy to use and clean and I love that there are no nasties in it. The spoon is soft and flexible, so won't damage my baby’s delicate mouth. It is also so nice that the silicone comes in different colours.
How did this product make your life easier?
The suction on the Bamboo Bamboo bowl is great and not easily unstuck, which stops my son from throwing the bowl on the floor. I like that the suction part can be removed for when you don't need it or when cleaning. This product is really high quality and it shows.
Would you choose this product to win?
Yes and no, as much as I’ve loved using this bowl, I found it quite bulky to transport and that the spoon is very big. That said, I love that it is made from natural materials and it is definitely stylish and attractive.
What changes would you make to this product?
My son managed to pull the silicone part of the spoon off, so I would make it harder to remove the silicone by attaching it more firmly. The spoon was also quite big and my son couldn't fit it in his mouth which frustrated him. Otherwise, this is a top quality product that makes life easier.
Tested by mum Laura Berry for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
Yes I would recommend this product as I think it is excellent value for money, as well as being stylish, durable and practical. The Bamboo Bamboo bowl is a very good size and therefore can be used for years to come as my baby grows and wants larger portions. The bowl is also reasonably deep, making spillages less likely. The product is far superior to any other bowl we have purchased before. It is very practical as it will help my growing baby to feed himself, as the bowl will not be sliding away from him when he begins to feed himself.
How did this product make your life easier?
I find feeding my son is a lot easier as he can't push the bowl off the side of his highchair. It will come in handy much more when it comes to feeding himself, as the bowl will remain in place making it easier for him. The bowl and spoon are also very easy to clean.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would choose this over other products as the stylish design is eye catching, it is eco-friendly and very practical, especially when it comes to self-feeding. My only problem is the spoon, it's rather on the large side, which means it is not ideal for weaning. All babies are different, but in this particular case the spoon is too big for my little boy’s mouth.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing I would change about this product would be the spoon. It definitely could be smaller to accommodate little mouths. But I loved this product and this is just one minor criticism!
Tested by mum Madison Betts for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this product to a friend because it is lightweight, fashionable and does everything it should! The colours were fabulous and I loved it! The suction part of the bowl is brilliant. I couldn't even move it so there was no chance of it being thrown on the floor by my baby or his big sister. I was able to place finger foods inside and have peace of mind my son could pick them up without the bowl sliding on his highchair tray.
How did this product make your life easier?
This product makes my life easier as a mum because the suction part of the bowl ensures it doesn’t slide around, which is safer for baby and means no spills! I absolutely love this product, the design is beautiful. It’s also so easy to wash which is a big plus as a busy mum.
Would you choose this product to win?
I definitely would! I have absolutely loved using it! The colour (green) has made my son excited when eating and when you are weaning and trying new things, this definitely helps. The bowl is absolutely beautiful and it’s not like anything I have seen before. If I was to see this on the shelf I would snap it up as it is so unique and of very good quality.
What changes would you make to this product?
I would personally not change anything about this product! If I was being completely pedantic I would say it would be easier if they were made microwaveable, but that’s all.

This Suction Bowl and Spoon Set has been a complete time saver. It is a great shape for baby to use the spoon to scoop down into the bowl and the design is extremely attractive as well. At first, I wasn't sure how easy it would be to wash or if it would discolour easily, however it washes really well.
How did this product make your life easier?
This product made my life easier as I no longer have to bathe my baby girl two or three times a day because she can no longer tip all the contents of the bowl onto her head! It also means a clean kitchen, as she cannot catapult the bowl across the room. The suction works amazingly, which makes my life so much easier. My baby girl can also use the spoon on her own which means I no longer have to sit and spoon-feed her myself.
Would you choose this product to win?
Absolutely – you get what you pay for 100%. I have used many cheaper alternatives and the suction has failed after the first time, however this one has been washed several times and the suction still works perfectly. I absolutely love the look of it, the bamboo makes it looks extremely expensive and it has not discoloured at all.
What changes would you make to this product?
I honestly cannot think of anything I would change. It is a stunning product and extremely functional. My baby loves it!
