Product Review: Baby Dipper Bowl

Izzy by Izzy Minti Founder(November 2010) (rank 10th)

When my twins were infants, I entered a blog giveaway. The prize was a pair of baby bowls. I entered and surprisingly, I won. I wasn’t looking for a baby bowl, but what the heck, it was free. I’m so glad I did! What struck me most is

that it was a nice weight and it had a rubber bottom that grips the table. On the twin’s next feeding, I promptly used it. I loved it!

I have fed my girls by setting the bowl down on the table. But the problem with typical plastic baby bowls is that they slide whenever I get a spoonful. Several times I have to push the bowl back into the middle of the table before it falls to the floor. And on occasion that I feed the babies something thick, I couldn’t even get a spoonful out without using both hands. With the Baby Dipper Bowl, I was able to just keep it on the table without worrying it would eventually fall off the table. This leaves my other hand free to do a whole lot of other things like preventing baby from swatting at the incoming spoonful of food.

The Baby Dipper bowl quickly became my favorite. I packed the bowls, and the spoons it came with whenever we visited the in-laws 3 hours away. The spoon was great too. It rested on the bowl nicely, unlike other baby spoons that are usually heavier than most bowls – which then tips over whenever the spoon is put back in the bowl. When my twins entered toddlerhood, the Baby Dipper bowls were excellent. It allowed them to practice their grip of the spoon without having to chase after a constantly moving bowl. It was less mess for me to clean up – always a good thing!

Today, I’m still using my Baby Dipper bowl with my 7 month old. He is still new to solid foods and grabs and swats at the spoon coming to him. With one hand free, I’m able to hold his hand at bay so that the food can make a clear landing to his mouth.

The bowl is BPA-free, lead-free and phthalate free – though perhaps the most impressive of all is that it was invented by a mom of 2 sets of twins.

Re: Product Review: Baby Dipper Bowl

That is such a great bowl. I've never seen anything like it and how it is designed being heavy on the bottom and non slip is very clever. I hope I can win one... lol...

Re: Product Review: Baby Dipper Bowl

I had a bowl similar to that in Aussie, I think it was made by tupperware. It had rubber bottom bit that you sat the bowl in. It was great to when my eldest started feeding herself too. Somehow between having my girls, it went missing. It didn't come with spoon though.

Re: Product Review: Baby Dipper Bowl

Actually, Barbara (the inventor) said that the Baby Dipper bowl set now comes with a spoon and fork. :)  I hope you put an entry in!  it would be interesting to hear what you think of the Baby Dipper bowl compared to the tupperware one.

Re: Product Review: Baby Dipper Bowl

Being an Aussie excludes me from this one! But if it comes on the market here, I'd recommend it to my friends anyway. The one i had (way back in 1997) was brillant, so a similar product has to be just as good, if not better. As for me, I think my baby days are over!

I like the design of this one too. Mine was just like a normal bowl that sat in a rubber ring thing, I like that it has a "deep end" and a "shallow end", which would make a huge difference when feeding.

Is it dishwasher safe? And mircowave safe? Mine was ok for less then a minute in the mirco and wasn't dishwasher safe.

Cheers Raven

Re: Product Review: Baby Dipper Bowl

This giveaway is open to Aussie members... and UK, Canada, as well as US. So go enter!

Baby dipper bowl is microwave safe, dishwasher safe - top rack only.

I think you should design it! Often times, the most useful products come from parents who use it and seek to improve on existing products.
