“Versatile weaning set with smart features to minimise mess”

7.6

Solid Choice

Parents find the Mamas & Papas First Mealtime Silicone Set a solid choice for starting weaning. They highlight the useful sectional plate, suction bowls, and adjustable bib as helping to contain messes. The chunky cutlery also gets praise for aiding hand-eye coordination. However, some caution the set can be bulky and heavy, making it less ideal for travel. Overall, it seems a well-designed option that many find works well at home, though may not suit all lifestyles.

What parents love

Mess-reducing featuresParents appreciate the suction-base plate and bowl, which help contain spills, as well as the adjustable silicone bib for catching drips.
Ergonomic cutleryThe short-handled fork and spoon get positive reviews for being easy for babies to grasp and manoeuvre, supporting their developing feeding skills.
Durable, easy-clean materialsThe LFGB food-grade silicone construction is praised as odour-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and able to withstand being dropped or thrown from highchairs.

Worth knowing

Bulky and heavySome parents find the set quite large and weighty, making it less portable for travel or moving between rooms.
Plate suction can be finickyA few users report the suction on the plate and bowl doesn't always hold reliably, leading to occasional spills.
Pricey for a starter setAt around £30, some feel the Mamas & Papas set is on the expensive side compared to other basic weaning kits.

Best for

  • Families with dedicated feeding spaces at home
  • Parents looking for a durable, easy-clean weaning set

May not suit

  • Frequent travellers or those with limited storage space
  • Budgets-conscious shoppers seeking a more basic starter kit

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Consider the set's size and weight if you'll need to move it around or take it on the go.

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the suction features carefully, as some find the plate and bowl can come unstuck unexpectedly.

Safety Note

Supervise closely when using the cutlery, as the short handles may pose a choking risk for very young babies.
