The three-leaf clover shape of this plate makes it easier for the child to scoop up food with his spoon rather than pushing it around in circles. The plate has a rubber base that makes sure it stands steadily on the table, and the shape of the edge makes it harder for small hands to grab the plate and throw it away. The BabyBjörn Spoon has a short handle that is easy for small hands to grip. Both the BabyBjörn Plate and Spoon are dishwasher-safe and can be heated in the microwave to a maximum of 90°C/194°F.
