Baby Plates and Bowls Australia - Suction Bowls and Divided Plates for Little Eaters

Mealtimes with babies and toddlers are an adventure - and the right feeding equipment makes them significantly less chaotic. Suction bowls that stay put, divided plates that keep foods separate, and spill-resistant designs transform messy mealtimes into manageable, enjoyable experiences for the whole family. At Peekaboo Baby we stock a range of baby plates and bowls in Australia, from simple silicone suction bowls for beginners to full divided plate sets for toddlers exploring a variety of foods. Browse our full baby feeding range including utensils, bibs, high chairs, and food containers for everything mealtimes need.

Our plate and bowl range covers all stages of weaning - from first purees at 4-6 months through to toddler self-feeding at 12-24 months and beyond. Silicone suction bases are the most popular choice for young babies learning to eat, as the suction cup base sticks to highchair trays and tables, meaning less plate-throwing and more eating. Divided plates with separate compartments are great for toddlers who prefer foods not touching. Pair with our baby spoons and forks and soft-tipped first spoons for a complete mealtime setup, and explore our baby food processors for making homemade first foods.

What to look for in baby plates and bowls

  • Suction base - A strong suction base that adheres to flat surfaces (highchair trays, tabletops) significantly reduces plate-throwing during the messy self-feeding learning phase.
  • Food-safe materials - Choose plates and bowls made from BPA-free, food-safe silicone or plastic. Avoid melamine for young babies. Silicone is flexible, unbreakable, and dishwasher-safe.
  • Temperature safety - Check whether the bowl is microwave and dishwasher safe. Silicone is typically both; plastic varies by type. Heat-resistant materials are important for serving warm foods.
  • Divided sections - For babies who prefer foods separated (common from around 18 months), divided plates with distinct compartments reduce mealtime battles over mixed foods.
  • Easy to clean - Smooth interiors without ridges or crevices are much easier to clean properly. Silicone materials wipe clean easily and tend not to stain.
  • Age-appropriate size - Baby bowls and plates are typically smaller than adult versions - appropriately sized portions help with portion guidance during weaning and beyond.
