The baby starts to add complementary food when he is six months old. It is difficult for mothers to make a choice in the market for a wide range of children's tableware. Today, Hua Candy Record brings together various materials, types and brands to tell you their respective characteristics, and even the safety problems of some materials are listed. It will definitely be much easier to choose tableware based on these.
Children's tableware common materials include plastic, imitation porcelain (melamine), stainless steel and bamboo wood. Occasionally, tableware made of ceramic, glass and enamel materials can be seen, but ceramic and glass are brittle and suitable for older babies. When purchasing ceramics, you should choose colorless and patternless. If you choose a pattern, try to be underglaze color, that is, you cannot feel the pattern when touching the surface, because these patterns contain lead, which is not good for your health. Although enamel has good performance and fewer harmful substances, it is not much on the market at present and the production process is relatively complicated. You must not be greedy for cheapness and buy fakes when purchasing. The porcelain will fall off during the use of enamel and should not be used for a long time. Below we mainly introduce four common children's tableware.
1｜Plastic tableware
Since plastic tableware is generally rich in color and shape, it is easy to arouse children's interest. At the same time, it is also relatively resistant to falling. There will be many mothers who buy this kind of tableware, but when purchasing, you must ensure the quality of the product. Otherwise, due to the use of low-quality plastic, harmful substances may precipitate, causing harm to the baby's body. The following are common plastic children's tableware brands:
Swedish babybjorn children's tableware
This children's tableware comes with 1 spoon and 1 fork, and adopts the shape of a clover. It will not spin when the baby digs out food, which is easier to succeed, and enhances the baby's confidence in eating by himself. In addition, the center of gravity of the tableware is relatively low, so it is not easy for the baby to pour the food when eating; the anti-slip and detachment design at the bottom is also very suitable for the baby; but since the material is made of PP, the heat resistance temperature is worse, and it is around 90℃ and cannot be steamed at high temperature to avoid deforming the tableware. It has to be mentioned here that this product uses white inside, which is more safe than brightly colored tableware.

UK New Anyi Children's tableware
This meal has different models, mothers can choose according to the size of their baby. The partition design can store different foods, which is conducive to the baby trying different flavors; the bottom anti-slip design avoids the tableware sliding when eating; the material is PP+ silicone, and does not contain bisphenol A; although the bottom pattern design can attract children's interest, it is still more safe with no color at the bottom. For example, another colorless tableware at the bottom of Xin'anyi can also choose if your mother likes it.
Reference price: The price varies from different sizes of the meal plate. It is between 69-129 yuan
Japanese Becken Children's Bowl
This children's tableware is relatively small and more suitable for babies. In addition, although it is made of PP, the heat resistance can reach 140℃ and can be heated in a microwave oven; it is divided into two styles, a round bowl and a double-ear bowl. For babies who have just learned to eat, it is recommended to choose a double-ear bowl for the baby to grasp.

Hong Kong Leerbao Children's Bowl
Tableware material is PP, does not contain bisphenol A, and the temperature resistance can reach 110℃. It can meet the needs of mothers to disinfect using boiling, steam and other methods. It can also be used in a microwave oven, but the lid must be taken off. In addition, there is a special place to store spoons on the lid, which is very suitable for carrying on the outside.
Reference price: 40 yuan
Hong Kong Rikang Xue Food Bowl
This tableware is very simple, with only one Xue Food Bowl and a spoon. The same PP material is temperature resistant to 110℃ and can be used in a microwave oven. The bottom of the bowl is glued and anti-slip design. The head is also designed with a curved mouth, so it is not difficult for babies to drink soup. It must be mentioned here that its pattern is designed in the hand-grabbing area and there is no pattern at the bottom, which makes mothers feel more at ease when using it.
Reference price: 19 yuan
China Biqian three-grid dining plate
This dish has a temperature resistance of 110℃, but the temperature resistance of the handle and bottom can only reach 80℃. Although the manufacturer allows boiling water to disinfect, for safety reasons, it is better to burn boiling water to avoid high temperatures causing harmful substances to be released at the handle; the edges of the dish are wider, which is conducive to hand grabbing. The plate-separated design is adopted. The curved meal bowl was originally intended to help the baby drink soup, but it is still quite difficult to drink soup with such a meal plate. It is better to use a single small bowl directly.

American Munchkin McKenzie temperature spoon
This spoon is made of silicone and the handle is made of PP material, and does not contain BPA; the spoon can sense the water temperature. If it exceeds 40℃, the front end will turn white, and you no longer have to worry about the baby being burned. This product is produced in China, but it uses foreign technology and raw materials and is directly exported to Europe and the United States for sale. It is not available in China. So even if you see Made in China, you don’t have to worry too much. The quality inspection in Europe and the United States is still more stringent than in China.

American Sass Suction Cup bowl
This suction cup bowl contains 3 bowls of different sizes. It is made of PP material and can be used in microwave ovens, but it cannot be disinfected at high temperature; it has suction cup pads to prevent the bowl from moving; the lid is better closed, but some small tricks are required when covering (first buckle along one side of the bowl, and after buckle, other fingers press down together). There is a bent handle training spoon that can be used in conjunction with it. The handle is designed to bend over, which is more conducive to the baby's grasp and obtaining food. I personally have some repulsions for colored tableware, so when I choose tableware for my children, I try to avoid bright colors. However, the quality inspection of these big brands should be higher in terms of quality inspection, which depends on how the mother personally chooses.

British Tommee Tippee Soup Beauty World Double Bowl
This should be a plate-separated design that is rarely seen in small tableware, which is conducive to the baby eating different foods for each meal; it is also equipped with a temperature-sensitive spoon. If the temperature is too high, the spoon will change color. You can also place it on the top of the bowl after use. If you go out, it will be more convenient.

American Boon suction bowl tray
is made of PP material, the edge of the bowl is made of silicone, it has a unique "anti-flood-flood design", which looks like a hat brim. I want to use this design to let the fallen food re-enter the bowl, reducing the hassle of cleaning, but I personally think that the food is a bit far away from the baby, and it may feel uncomfortable; this model also comes with two spoons, which can be bent, straightened, and easy to use.

Since there are many children's tableware made of plastic, it is impossible to list them one by one. When choosing, mothers try to choose big brands. They can have patterns on the outside and light colors on the inside; avoid buying cheap and unqualified plastic tableware for children to use. In addition, when using plastic tableware, try to avoid storing foods that are too greasy and too hot.
2｜Stainless steel tableware
Stainless steel material is easier to clean and does not easily breed bacteria, but the problem is that there may be a problem of heavy metal exceeding the standard, so when choosing, you must also choose products with good brand and guaranteed quality. Stainless steel has good thermal conductivity and is easy to burn, but children's tableware is very good at this. The inner liner is made of stainless steel and the outside is made of plastic material, which can achieve the heat insulation effect.

This is a children's tableware that many little celebrities like. The inner liner is made of stainless steel and the shell is made of PP material. It contains two dining bowls, a sealed box, and a water cup, which is enough for children to use. In special cases, the shell can also store food alone, so it is really cost-effective to change 4 into 8. The stainless steel material of the inner liner can directly heat food in an electric cooker, which is very convenient; but the outer shell cannot be disinfected with high temperatures such as microwave ovens and steaming.The advantage of this double-layer lunch box is that it can be insulated, but the disadvantage is that it is precisely because the hand cannot feel the internal heat, which can easily cause burns to the baby. Therefore, you must wait until the food temperature is appropriate before giving it to the baby.

Non Stainless steel material is relatively safe, but there are still some unsafe factors. In addition to choosing safe and quality products, try to avoid storing acidic foods when using them, such as soups, fruit juices, etc. At the same time, the different materials of the shell also determine that stainless steel tableware can be steamed and cooked. When purchasing, be sure to check the instructions to avoid incorrect operations and cause harm to the baby's health.
3｜Imitation porcelain tableware ( melamine tableware )
Imitation porcelain tableware, also known as melamine tableware, is a material produced by polymerization of melamine and formaldehyde, and is thin and not hot. It has the advantages of not being afraid of falling and not being easy to deform. At the same time, the real imitation porcelain material has good chemical stability and is not easy to retain food taste. However, the production of this material is relatively complicated and easy to adulterate. If the product quality is not up to standard, it is easy to release melamine molecules when used, causing harm to your health.
In addition, in 2008, a toxic storm occurred in imitation porcelain tableware (formaldehyde is released in imitation porcelain tableware), but in foreign countries, the use of imitation porcelain tableware is considered safe, which may have a lot to do with the national quality supervision system. Considering the national conditions of our country, it is recommended not to choose imitation porcelain tableware for children, especially those with bright colors and cheap prices.
If you have to choose, I would like to give mothers a suggestion: try to buy in regular stores and stores, and never buy street stalls; check the trademark instructions when purchasing, with the QS production license mark, and 100% meramine resin; try to choose light-colored tableware without decals on the inside; do not put them in the microwave, nor should they hold acidic and oily foods to avoid releasing harmful substances. Finally, I would like to say that there are so many children's tableware with better safety, so there is no need to choose one with low safety factor.
4｜Bamboo and wood tableware
Bamboo and wood tableware as the name suggests, tableware made of bamboo or solid wood. This material is natural and environmentally friendly, has good thermal insulation, and is durable and anti-fall, but it is not easy to clean and is easy to breed bacteria, so bamboo and wood tableware must be placed in a dry and ventilated place.

In addition, a stop-slip collar is inlaid at the bottom of the plate to prevent the dish from slipping or falling; the pattern of the small animal is high-temperature branding, and safety is guaranteed. Although this product is cute and safe, it is really expensive.
Reference price: 268 yuan

This model is also made of bamboo, with a polyurethane coating on the surface (a paint that is considered to meet food hygiene inspection), and the shape is also very unique, including small cars, small houses, small planes, etc. Such a meal plate is also good to use as a toy after the meal. Just kidding, after cleaning, be sure to place it in a dry and ventilated place to keep the tableware air-dried to avoid bacterial growth. This tableware is also valuable.
Reference price: 399 yuan
Many bamboo and wood tableware can be painted, so be careful to identify when purchasing. In addition, it is best to soak tableware in water or boil before first use for the baby.
5｜Other materials
Children's tableware In addition to these common materials, there is also a relatively popular material currently available, which is relatively safe, which is corn material, also known as plastic starch material. It is made of natural polymer materials such as plant starch and cellulose as the main raw materials. It is waterproof, oil-proof, non-toxic and harmless, and does not contain harmful substances such as phenylene plasticizers and bisphenol A. Even if the temperature is too high, you will not worry about the release of harmful substances. It is used for the production of tableware to be safe and harmless.

Reference price: 168 yuan
Children's tableware material selection, stainless steel, PP, bamboo and corn, etc. are relatively safe and can be used as daily choices, but even for safe materials, some illegal vendors will use inferior products as good ones, so you must keep your eyes open when purchasing and must not buy products of unknown origin.
has three points to summarize: 1. Choose a material with high security; 2. Choose a reliable brand; 3. Buy in a regular shopping mall or supermarket. Finally, I would like to remind you that you must not be greedy for cheapness.
