Full details
This TRIXIE Mr. Shark Silicone Bowl is designed for parents seeking a practical and safe way to serve meals to toddlers. Its key benefit is the strong suction base that prevents spills and messes, making mealtimes less stressful. A minor caveat is that the suction works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. The bowl is made from food-grade silicone, heat-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and features a playful design to encourage self-feeding.

FAQs
What age is this bowl recommended for?
The TRIXIE Mr. Shark bowl is recommended for babies and toddlers aged 4 months and older, suitable for those starting solid foods and learning to self-feed.
Is the silicone material safe for my baby?
Yes, the bowl is made from 100% food-grade silicone, which is BPA-free and safe for contact with food.
How do I clean the bowl?
The bowl is dishwasher safe. You can also hand wash it with warm, soapy water.
Can I use this bowl in the oven?
Yes, the silicone is heat resistant up to 230 degrees Celsius, making it safe for use in the microwave, oven, and freezer.
What surfaces does the suction base work best on?
The suction base works best on smooth, flat, and non-porous surfaces such as sealed wood, plastic, glass, or metal.
What are the dimensions of the bowl?
The bowl measures 140 mm in width and 65 mm in height.
Will the suction prevent all spills?
The suction base significantly reduces tipping and spills by anchoring the bowl. However, very vigorous attempts to lift the bowl or spills caused by external forces may still occur.
Troubleshooting
Suction base not adhering firmly.
Ensure both the suction base and the surface are clean, dry, and free from debris. The surface must be smooth, flat, and non-porous. Press firmly in the center of the bowl to create a seal.
Bowl still tips over easily.
Verify that the surface is appropriate for suction. If using on a slightly textured surface, try applying slight downward pressure while the child eats. Ensure no food particles are trapped under the suction edge.
Food is not heating evenly in the microwave.
Stir food halfway through the reheating process to ensure even temperature distribution. Always check food temperature before serving.
Stains on the silicone.
For stubborn stains, try making a paste of baking soda and water, applying it to the stain, letting it sit for a few hours or overnight, then washing as usual. You can also try exposing the stained area to direct sunlight.
