Green Baby: Bowls Made From Corn...Seriously

Cathy Hale — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:00:00 GMT

This might just be one of the most innovative eco-friendly baby products around. Made from a unique corn formula, these reusable bowls are BPA-free, biodegradable and compostable. A pack of two very yellow bowls retails for $7 at BabyEarth. (Oh, and you do have to wash them by hand. I'm guessing a cycle in the dishwasher would be a bad thing.)

Can't Shake It: Loopa Spill-Resistant Bowl by One Step Ahead

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:30:00 GMT

One Step Ahead promises that kids won't be able to topple over its Loopa Spill-Resistant Bowl, but we've seen a lot of crazy eaters here at Babble, so you tell us: Could your kids defy the Loopa?

Frankly, our money's on the Loopa: The weighted bowl sits inside a gyroscope, so provided Junior is past the point of turning his tableware into frisbees, odds are good that he won't be able to keep the Loopa from staying upright. It also includes a snap-on lid for keeping leftovers fresh, and as the picture above shows, the Loopa also works great for car trips.

7 Days of Feeding: A Better Bowl is Born

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:19:00 GMT

If necessity is the mother of invention, then mothers certainly have all the expertise and field training they need to develop useful baby products. The creator of this baby bowl has two sets of twins and simply needed a way to feed them with one hand.

That’s how the Baby Dipper Bowl was born. The criteria seemed simple, non-slip, easy to use with one hand, and to help toddlers self-feed, yet there was nothing currently on the market. A brilliant feature that I like is that the interior of the Baby Dipper Bowl is slanted to guide food into one place, instead of chasing the last bits around in a circle. I’m sure retailers are going to pick up this product, but right now the best place to get is directly from the company, $12.96 at http://www.babydipper.com/.

Let's See Junior Toss This Fork!

Erin Behan — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:40:00 GMT

I've laughed every time I've looked at this photo, and I expect to continue laughing for several more looks. However, in its ridiculousness is a pretty good idea--keeping your toddler's utensils and bowl where they belong, on the tray, by use of suction cups. The manufacturers (Dream Baby) claim that the Stay Put cutlery helps toddlers improve hand-eye coordination by subtly "forcing" the utensils into a general area, thus guiding proper placement (although I'm imagining a particularly savvy toddler tossing the fork down only to have it spring back up again). At $9.95 (in blue, pink or yellow) the Stay Put Bowl and Cutlery Set doesn't seem like too much of a risk to try this one out for yourself--especially if forks and bowls are synonymous with grenades in your house.

Feed Me: Pack 'em Up, Move 'em Out

crazedparent — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 21:07:00 GMT

Looking for an easy way to pack up your eats for park playdates? The Baby on the Go Dish Set could make your day. It comes with 2 bowls, 4 sippy cups, 2 serving cups with lids and 2 fork and spoon sets. Did you see how big that bag is? I'd have to snap photos of it as I unpacked it for the first time just to reassemble. The Baby on the Go Dish Set sells for $25 (a good deal considering how much Tupperware costs).

Classic cars and trucks in primary colors chug around the Plastica Bo Boo Dish Set ($45) for kids. Almost too cute to even use.
