    A suction-cup bowl that works??

    DS is having a lovely time picking up his bowl of yoghurt as he attempts to spoon it into his mouth . But, I'm hoping to help the process a bit by sticking the bowl to the highchair. Does anyone know a brand of bowl that will actually stay put?? I have the frog one from IKEA & it doesn't work. I also have a Bunnikins one - and that doesn't work either.


    Thanks!

    Good luck with that! LOL I gave up and started using a normal, heavy china bowl. Works great for us, though I did stick close by the first few times.

    We have the Tomee Tipee bowl and it doesn't work either - it only took Olivia about 1 minute to pull it off and tip it over her head

    we have the tommee tipee one which worked for us until we put it in the dishwasher ds knows not to tip his bowl up until he is finished eating.

    Hmm... sounds like others haven't had much success with them either!

    DS doesn't tip his bowl over his head - he just tries to pick it up and scrape it out (like mummy does) - but I think it actually makes it harder for him to use the spoon (he is still learning)

    I'm not actually sure of the brand but got it at local chemist but someone else said they saw it Big W, anyway it has 4 little suction caps at the bottom opposed to 1 big suction. I've found the ones with 1 big suction cap don't work but this one with 4 little suctions seems to work better.

    I have one that doesn't work either. But I did just have a thought of trying double sided tape.

    I think i have one similar Bridee and little miss C can still pull it off - but i think the suction cup bit actualyl detaches from the bowel for easy cleaning - kind of defeats the purpose. I have no idea what brand it is or even remember where i got it - it now sits along with the tommee tippee suction cup bowel at the back of the tuperware cupboard!

    Not if it wors as my little man isn't old enough for solids yet, but I did glance at a suction cap bowl at Sam's Warehouse (Formally Clints & The Warehouse) today. It's cheap, less than $6, but I don't know if it will work or not.
