Plates, Bowls & Meal Sets

Every product in the Beaba plates, bowls, and meal sets collection has been designed around one central idea: mealtimes should be easier for parents and more enjoyable for babies. Whether you need a suction plate that genuinely stays put through the throwing phase, a stainless steel divided plate that reheats safely in the microwave, or a complete baby meal set that gives you everything you need for a coordinated first feeding setup Beaba has the solution

Why the Right Baby Plate and Bowl Matters

A baby plate or baby bowl is used multiple times every single day from around six months at every meal, through every developmental stage, and across years of daily use. The right design makes feeding easier, encourages self-feeding independence, and actively supports your baby's development. The wrong design adds unnecessary mess, frustration, and replacement cost

Suction bases — a baby suction plate or suction bowl with a reliable base stays firmly on a highchair tray or smooth table surface, significantly reducing the plate-throwing phase that every parent dreads. Strong suction buys you time and meaningfully reduces floor-cleaning frequency

Divided sections — a divided plate keeps textures and flavours beautifully separate essential for baby-led weaning families offering multiple finger foods simultaneously, and deeply appreciated by toddlers with strong opinions about foods touching

High, rounded edges — a quality baby bowl or plate with high, curved sides makes it significantly easier for little hands to load a spoon actively supporting self-feeding skill development from the earliest stages

Material safety — Beaba uses food-grade silicone and 304 stainless steel across their range — two of the safest, most inert materials for food contact. No BPA, no phthalates, no chemical leaching at any temperature

Microwave safe — Beaba's stainless steel range includes a genuine innovation: the world's first microwave-safe stainless steel baby tableware, eliminating the need to transfer food to a separate dish for reheating

A divided suction plate like the Beaba Divided Silicone Plate & Spoon Set offers the separate sections essential for presenting multiple finger foods and textures simultaneously
