Best toddler food plate/tray?

[PasstheStarmix]

Hi, recommendations please for best toddler food plate. The Ikea plates we currently have ds throws on floor and I’ve heard the suction ones don’t stick so are a waste of time. Are the separation tray type any good? I was abit confused why the need for the divide.

We just use whatever the cheap ones are at Tesco or wherever. Also DD uses bowls a lot too.
Also, never saw the point of the separated ones as I often just mix everything up for her so I know she's eat as least a bit of veg- even if by accident.

Just put the food straight in the high chair tray or table to prevent the throwing of plates

When DD went through the plate throwing stage I initially hovered over her to tell her off and stop it from happening (she didn't listen AT ALL mind ), I then moved on to a combination of letting her drop it on the floor and completely ignoring it so she got no reaction, or she just ate directly off her high chair tray. Either way food usually ended up on the floor plate or no plate but eventually the novelty of chucking the plate on the floor wore off.

It is the correct decision not to bother with the ones with suction. The sucky ones are just an extra challenge rather than a deterrent for the determined plate throwers. It's one thing a plastic plate being dropped on the floor, the mess is somewhat limited to where the plate lands. It's quite another a silicone bowl full of beans whizzing past your ear at 50mph because of the sheer force required to separate it from the tray in the first place.

This one is brilliant. Even a determined 3yo can't remove the suction pad. It's got dividers because some children (eyeballs DD) won't eat food that touches other food.

Thanks for your replies and suggestions everyone. Pastabest haha that is very true and as you say quite another thing and sounds a definate hazard! I’ve amazon primed a splash mat to come tomorrow so maybe I can rescue/salvage some food that hits it avoiding the floor and it’ll hopefully save mess. It’s a large mat as Ds has quite the aim and distance on his throw. Ds isn’t bothered about food touching each other but maybe he’s still alittle young. He’s just happy when he’s in control and can play with his food. Thanks clown I’ll check it out. I might put directly on highchair table as you say anotherangel if this keeps up.
