Barbara Schantz, the designer of Baby Dipper is an amazing woman. She’s the mother to twin girls born in 2004 and to twin boys born in 2008. That’s right, two sets of twins! As you can imagine, she had her hands full. She searched and searched for a bowl that wouldn’t slide around the table and would make meal time easy. After a lot of research and several purchases she decided to create what she had been hoping to find. She created a bowl with a sloped center, a non-skid base, and a spoon shaped collection point to gather every last bite of food.
Pros:
- Angled shape makes it easy to scoop food out with one hand (my favorite!).
- Non-skid bottom means it won’t slide around your table.
- Sloped bottom helps food slide to one corner.
- Spoon is shaped to fit the corner of the bowl.
- See through sides.
- Dishwasher safe (a must for me!)
- BPA-Free
Cons:
Not widely available (yet!)
My thoughts:
I love the non-skid base! It stays put without a suction cup locking it on to the table. This avoids having left over food being spilled all over the table when you go to remove the bowl. The bowl is triangle shaped with a slanted interior so the food slides to the lower corner. The lower corner fits the spoon and fork perfectly for easy scooping. This is not only a great feature for a busy mom but also for a toddler feeding themselves. I’ve heard that the Baby Dipper is usually demonstrated using marbles to show how easy it is to scoop food. While I haven’t tried it that does seem to be the ultimate test! Anyone who has ever chased peas around a plate can appreciate this feature.
It’s easy for parents to use the Baby Dipper with one hand, so they can keep the other hand free to care for their baby or whatever else needs doing at the moment. Something I thought was incredibly cool was that you can see through the sides of the bowl. I know what you are saying, “See through plastic is nothing new, Ashley! What’s the big deal?” With the see through sides you can easily tell how much food is left without having to tip or lean it over. Cool, right? You know only a mom thinks like that!
I love, love, love that it is dishwasher safe! If it wasn’t, I simply wouldn’t use it. Convenience is key with kids, right? It’s BPA-Free which we’re all learning is very important.
