OXO Tot Stick & Stay Suction Bowl

About $13Checked Oct 17, 20262 sources

Our take

A large plastic bowl with a suction base that held well in testing, even on wood. The base pops off so it's easy to clean properly. Free of BPA, phthalates and PVC.

Consider instead: Bumkins Grip Dish for a silicone plate.

Cheaper optionBumkins Silicone Grip Dish: About $9, scored 86 (Excellent).
Secondhand?Fine secondhand. Fine secondhand if the silicone or plastic isn't cracked or cloudy.
TipOne good suction plate and one bowl is plenty to start.
