Kids Mealtime Products Australia - Toddler Plates, Bowls and Feeding Essentials
Making mealtime enjoyable for toddlers and young children is one of the most powerful things you can do for long-term healthy eating habits. At Peekaboo Baby, our kids mealtime range brings together everything Australian families need for fun, fuss-free mealtimes - from divided plates and suction bowls to toddler cutlery, placemats, and bibs. Browse alongside our baby feeding essentials and kids lunch boxes for a complete feeding setup. Our kids drink bottles, bibs, and plates and bowls ranges have even more mealtime options.
The right mealtime products reduce stress for parents and make meals feel like fun for children. Suction cups on plates prevent the inevitable bowl-throwing phase, divided plates let fussy eaters have their foods separate, and ergonomic toddler cutlery builds independence at the table. Bright colours and familiar characters encourage reluctant eaters to engage with their food. All products in our kids mealtime range are BPA-free, food-safe, and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in kids mealtime products
- BPA-free materials - All plates, bowls, and utensils should be food-grade and free from BPA, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals.
- Suction or non-slip base - Suction bases on plates and bowls dramatically reduce spills and thrown crockery during the toddler phase.
- Dishwasher safe - Mealtime products need daily washing. Dishwasher-safe items save significant time and effort.
- Divided sections - Divided plates help parents manage portions and accommodate toddlers who do not want foods touching.
- Age-appropriate utensils - Short-handled, ergonomic toddler forks and spoons build independence and self-feeding skills at the right pace.
- Fun design - Colourful, engaging designs make mealtime more appealing for children who need a little encouragement at the table.
Complete the mealtime setup with our plates and bowls, bibs, drink bottles, and full baby feeding range for every stage from first purees to family mealtimes.
Kids Mealtime - Frequently Asked Questions
For starting solids, you will need a soft-tipped baby spoon, a suction bowl or small plate, a bib (silicone catch bibs are great for this stage), and a sippy cup or open cup for water. A splat mat under the high chair saves a lot of floor cleaning.
Yes! Suction plates and bowls are invaluable during the throwing phase. A strong suction base keeps the plate on the table or high chair tray, reducing mess significantly. Look for a wide suction cup that works on both textured and smooth surfaces.
Most toddlers are ready for toddler-sized cutlery from around 12-15 months. Short-handled spoons and forks sized for small hands help develop self-feeding skills. Regular adult cutlery is generally not appropriate until around age 5-6 when motor control is better developed.
Yes, food-grade silicone is one of the safest materials for children's mealtime products. It is BPA-free, non-toxic, heat-resistant, and dishwasher safe. Silicone plates and bowls are flexible and hard to break, and many include suction bases for added stability.
Check the specific product. Food-grade silicone and polypropylene items are often microwave safe but always verify on the product label or listing before microwaving. Some hard plastic items are not microwave safe and may warp or release chemicals when heated.
