Last year, I heard about a product called My Plate-Mate and how it can help little ones learn to feed themselves. Now that Kambry is old enough and loves feeding herself, I had to give My Plate-Mate a try.
What is My Plate-Mate?
Using My Plate-Mate at meal time will:
- Prevent messy spills on the table
- Help your child successfully learn to use a utensil
- Increase your child’s confidence and independence at meals
- Promote developmental growth as your child advances to the next stage of self feeding
Simple and Easy:
- Fits onto a child’s 8″-9 1/2″ round plate
- Easy to clean, dishwasher safe
- Light and easy to transport to restaurants or outings
- Made in the USA of certified, FDA approved plastic
- For kids 2+ years
- Lead Free, No BPA or Phthalates
Is My Plate-Mate dishwasher safe?
Yes! At home we recommend washing your My Plate-Mate on the top rack of the dishwasher. However, our product can withstand water temperatures up to 185 degrees in order to adhere to health and safety regulations followed at state licensed facilities.
What do I think about My Plate-Mate?
I really love it, from a parent’s standpoint. I love how Kambry eats with her My Plate-Mate. We have some round plates that we found locally and the My Plate-Mate works perfectly on them! I did put ours on the top rack of the dishwasher and ours got a bit too hot and did bend out of wack just a little, but it easily molded back in to its original shape. I love LOVE the My Plate-Mate! I recomend it for anyone that has kids!

My little one loves to feed herself but gets frustrated when she pushes her food off the side of her plate, this would for sure help that to not happen.
I have such messy eaters.. This would cut down on messes which would be great for me

This would be awesome for my son. I’ll be teaching him how to eat by himself in a few months & this would definitely come in handy!

The plate mate is awesome. It would help my little grand daughter scoop her food into her spoon. She would become a more confident eater. I just love it.

My 1 year olds are just learning how to eat with a spoon. My daughter is doing well, but my son get easily frustrated and upset. This will help him get the hang of it without mealtimes turning into meltdowns.
Would help by not making a big mess all over the table and on the floor.
I think this would be alot less messy. I like the blue best
Prevent messy spills on the table. Once my son get old enough I want to make sure that we are prepared for him to eat without the food going everywhere.
I think it would help by her not spilling her food.
So cute. Perfect for my son!

Another comment on the product… it would also be nice to see them offer smaller ones that would fit 4-6 inch diameter bowls so we could use them when the kids are eating things like cereal, soup, applesauce or pudding.

Not only is this perfect for the little ones, I have a friend with a son who is physically disabled and struggles with eating independently even though he’s 13. This would be perfect for him. I can also see how this might help an elderly person with Parkinsons (or any other disease that makes their hands unsteady) to maintain a little bit more independence.
I wish they offered this product in red or black, since both are uni-sex colors and neither one would be prone to staining from red products like ketchup or tomato-based sauces. Since they don’t offer red or black, I’ll take the pink one if I win because that’s less likely to show stains than the white or the blue.
just to cute, thank you

When I feed my granddaughter she is always grabbing for the spoon and plate because she wants to feed herself. Although she tries hard, she still makes one heck of a mess and having the plate mate would give her the independence she demands while minimizing those messy spills at meal time which would be a big help to us both.

not only would this help my grand daughter with her feeding herself,it would be wonderful for my Mother who has a difficult time with eating from her tray in bed. Very good product for many reasons!

My kids are past this age but my nephew is at the right age for this product! I think my sister-in-law would love me forever if I got her one of these. LOL!
This looks like it would really help the child not get as frustrated with food falling off the plate and help parents not get as frustrated with mess.
