Baby suction plate with 3 compartments - silicone - Taupe
SteelMateSTM-11556
Suction Plate with 3 Compartments
A meal turns chaotic fast when the plate wants to join in – pushed off the edge by an eager hand, or tipped so the porridge ends up in your child's lap. This plate from SteelMate stays where you put it: the 4 firm suction cups underneath hold it fixed to the table.
The 3 compartments divide the food naturally, making the meal easy to overview for your child – and keeping the ham sandwich from mixing with the fruit. It also makes it a little easier to store leftovers from lunch, when the food hasn't already turned into one big lump of fruit, bread and pasta.
What is platinum silicone?
The plate is made from 100% platinum silicone – the purest form of silicone available. Silicone is cured using a catalyst, and this is where platinum silicone differs from regular silicone: curing happens with platinum instead of peroxide. This gives a more stable material without the residues that peroxide curing can leave behind.
Platinum silicone vs. regular silicone
Regular food-grade silicone is typically cured with peroxide, and while it's safe to use, the process can leave small amounts of residue in the material. In some cases, this can cause a slight taste or odour that settles into the silicone over time. Platinum silicone is cured with platinum instead, a precious-metal catalyst that doesn't leave that kind of residue.
The result is a cleaner material that doesn't absorb odour or taste from previous meals – whether it's been in contact with spicy food, tomato sauce or fruit. That's why platinum silicone is the standard for baby and children's products, where purity matters most.
How the suction cups work
Underneath the plate sit 4 firm suction cups that create suction against the tabletop when the plate is pressed down lightly. This makes it significantly harder for your child to tip or move the plate during the meal. The suction cups work best on smooth, hard surfaces such as wood, laminate or stone – on rough or porous surfaces, or if the surface is very wet or greasy, the grip may be weaker.
100% free from harmful chemicals
The plate is free from BPA, BPS, PFAS and phthalates. It's both dishwasher and microwave-safe, so it can go straight from reheating to the table and then into the dishwasher without any fuss.
Frequently asked questions about suction plates
Is platinum silicone safe for children?
Yes. Platinum silicone is the purest form of silicone and is free from BPA, BPS, PFAS and phthalates. The material doesn't release chemicals, taste or odour into the food.
What's the difference between platinum silicone and regular silicone?
Regular silicone is cured with peroxide, which can leave small residues in the material. Platinum silicone is cured with platinum instead, making it cleaner and free from absorbed odour or taste from previous meals.
Is the plate dishwasher and microwave-safe?
Yes, the plate is both dishwasher and microwave-safe.
Why doesn't the suction always hold?
The suction cups need a smooth, dry, hard surface for a good grip. On rough, porous or very wet surfaces – or if there's grease or crumbs underneath – the grip can be weaker.
How big is the plate?
The plate measures 20 cm x 3 cm and holds a full portion, while still being easy for a child to overview at the table.
