Product Information
Full details
The Elephant Feeding and Weaning Suction Plate is an ideal tool for parents looking to encourage self-sufficiency in toddlers during mealtime. Its primary benefit is a secure suction base that significantly reduces spills and mess, allowing little ones to practice independent eating with confidence. While highly effective on smooth surfaces, parents should note that suction strength may be diminished on porous or textured tables and high chair trays.

FAQs
Is the plate dishwasher safe?
Yes, the material is designed to be easily cleaned in the dishwasher, though top-rack washing is recommended for longevity.
Can I use this on a wooden table?
Suction works best on non-porous surfaces like plastic, glass, or finished laminate; it will likely not hold on raw or textured wood.
Is the material safe for hot food?
Yes, the plate is heat-resistant, making it safe for warm meals, but always test the temperature of the food before serving to your child.
What is the best way to release the suction?
Simply lift the edge of the suction base with your finger to break the seal.
Is it safe for microwave use?
Please verify your specific model's rating, but generally, these plates are microwave safe for short heating intervals.
Troubleshooting
The plate does not stick to the tray.
Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry. A small amount of moisture on the suction base or the surface can sometimes help create a better seal.
The suction is losing grip during the meal.
Check that no food debris has wedged itself under the edge of the suction base and re-press the center of the plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal suction, always wipe your table or high chair tray with a damp cloth to remove crumbs or moisture before attaching the plate. The plate is compatible with most standard high chair trays that feature a flat, non-porous surface. For maintenance, wash the plate with warm soapy water after each use. While the material is durable, we recommend avoiding harsh abrasive sponges to maintain the integrity of the surface finish. Always inspect the plate for any signs of wear if used frequently, and ensure it is fully dry before storing.
