The Skip Hop Mate – BPA and Melamine Free

Over the past year we have seen societal and parental concern grow about the possibility that many conventional feeding products for kids may have chemicals that can leach into food. As parents try to feed their kids healthy foods, the last thing they want to think about is that the dinnerware their kids are eating off is tainting the food!

Luckily over the past year we have seen companies old and new rise to the occasion and provide us with products that are safer for kids. We have options now, other than those plates and cups with BPA or questionable Melamine. Skip Hop Mate is one such new company that meets this growing demand for healthier children’s feeding products.

Their stay-put mat and plate is beautifully designed, very attractive, and safer for children. The plastics used have no PVC, phthalates, or BPA. It is a table setting that stays in place, which is a great idea for toddlers. It has a divided plate in the middle so that foods need not touch if you have picky eaters. The fork and spoon neatly attach to the mat so that they won’t get lost in the shuffle and the whole thing comes apart for easy cleaning. In fact if you need to remove the plate to fill it with food they are left to look at an adorable happy face on the mat.

The dish is microwave safe and all parts are dishwasher safe (top rack). So if you have younger kids and are still anxious about giving them glass plates this is a safer option. They are available for $20 online.

    Cute! I’m usually not a fan of tableware designed for kids — I tend to believe they should be eating real food, off of real plates, as much and as soon as possible (I’m very Montessori that way).

    But I like this one. 🙂 Some of their other products (a caddy for baby food jars???) – not so much heh.
