Using a bowl

Sometimes I don't want to put food straight onto the tray.  So far I have used 2 bowls with Baby M, they both use suction to keep the bowl on the table (in the aim to prevent them being used as a hat or having the food emptied out).  Here are my thoughts on them:

The Mam bowl
I love that it has a lid so it is great for travel and leftovers.  On the downside I found that it had a tendency to come unstuck most of the time (except for once when it got stuck down really well).  The rubber suction bit comes off the main bowl though so if baby yanks hard enough and the suction bit stayed stuck the bowl would come up.
I got this bowl from the Baby Show, but it costs £5.99 full price to buy.

The Boon bowl

I like this bowl a lot.  It sticks down well. I love the design and the bright colours.  It has a rubber "catch" designed to funnel food dropped by the baby on the way to their mouth and direct it back into the bowl.  The downside are that the funnel is made from the rubber which gets stained easily and Baby M managed to use it to (accidentally) propel food across the room.  I suspect with a little time and practice this catapult could make meal times even messier.

I received this bowl for free with an order from Just Another Baby? and at £7.99 to purchase they aren't cheap, but I'll definitely be interested in buying a Catch plate when they go on sale.
