Let’s face it, babies have a lot of needs. They need to be held, rocked, hushed, slept, and one of the most fun parts, fed! Selecting from the myriad of baby kitchen products can be overwhelming. But we narrowed down some of our favorites. Whether you plan on making your own baby food (high five) or merely want to find a portable high chair that allows your family to be on the move, we’ve got you covered.
Plates/Placemats
ezpz Happy Mat Placemat, $24.99 on Amazon
Amazon
This all-in-one silicone placemat and divided plate will suction to your table or most high chair trays, so everything is in one place. You can heat the food on the mat in the microwave, and it’s even dishwasher-safe, so it’s a win-win. The “happy face” design will make you and your little one smile, and the dividers will help eliminate any possible “foods touching each other” meltdown scenarios.See It
Bibs
BabyBjorn Soft Bib, $13.95 on Amazon
Amazon
BabyBjorn knows their stuff and this bib is no different. The bib gently snaps into place and can easily accommodate different neck sizes. The big deep pocket catches dropped food and the bib is easy to wash down with water and can go in the dishwasher. It’s BPA-free so when, inevitably, your little one starts to chew on the beaded neck strap, it’s safe.See It
Utensils
BEABA First Stage Baby Feeding Spoon Set, 4 for $19.95 on Amazon
Amazon
Designed in France, BEABA’s gentle, rounded, silicone spoon will be pleasing on your baby’s gums and make eating easy and fun. Spoons can be safely placed in the dishwasher on the top rack. The shallow design of the spoon holds a small amount of food, which helps prevent choking from too much food intake.See It
Gerber Graduates Kiddy Forks, 3 for $4.29 on Amazon
Amazon
When your baby has graduated from using spoons to exploring their mealtime with forks, the easy-to-grab grip will make self-feeding a breeze. With rounded stainless steel tines, toddlers will eat safer and be able to pierce food better. A thoughtful “rest” feature is part of the design so the fork tines never touch the table, eliminating germ exposure. These forks are also BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.
Sippy Cups
Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup, 2 for $10.49 on Amazon
Amazon
While it may take some practice tries (for both babies and parents) to understand how the cup works (lots of suction!), this is a wonderful starter cup. The two handles make it easy for babies to grab, and the smart 360 degree design creates a seal so there aren’t any spills. Little ones learn how to take sips and improve muscle development in their mouths. This is top rack dishwasher-safe and BPA-free. Make sure to give extra attention to the silicone ring at the top of the cup rim; remove frequently to wash to prevent build up.See It
High Chairs
Inglesina Fast Table Chair, $69 on Amazon
Amazon
Designed for on-the-go or “fast uses,” like at restaurants, this portable chair can actually replace a big/bulky highchair in your home. The chair safely hooks on to many table designs in seconds and won’t leave surfaces scratched. With an adjustable seat strap, your little one will stay buckled in. It includes a handy pocket for storage and is easy to clean. It’s very lightweight and collapsible, so it’s great for travel. Babies and toddlers will love this chair as it allows them to be part of the action right at the table.See It
Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair with Baby Set, $259 on Amazon
Amazon
Most parents immediately recognize the distinguishable Scandinavian design of Stokke. The Tripp Trapp, designed in 1972, was created as a way to bring your baby right to the table with a smart design. The seat is adjustable and ergonomic and, when your baby outgrows the seat set, he or she can continue to use the chair; the Tripp Trapp grows with your child. While price point is certainly on the higher end, the well-made design and various uses will serve your family for years. Plus, Stokke highchairs have a great resale value when your family has outgrown the chair.See It

Spatula and recipe book are also included to give you inspiration.See It

WeeSprout Double Zipper Reusable Food Pouch, 6 for $16.99 on Amazon
Amazon
While it’s simply unarguable that pouches are an amazingly easy way to feed little ones, it’s often expensive and can be wasteful. That’s where reusable pouches come into play. WeeSprout makes a double zipper pouch that’s BPA-, PVC-, lead-, and phthalate-free. It is easy to clean, with no sharp corners for food to get stuck in. Simply rinse the pouch with water before placing in the dishwasher.See It

When your little one is ready to feed themselves snacks, finding a convenient and easy-to-use snack holder is essential. Fill this OXO Tot snack travel cup with puffs, Cheerios, and the like. With an easy-to-hold design and large handle, little fingers can slip in and grab their favorite snacks without spilling. A twist-on lid will keep food in the cup even if the cup is dropped on the floor, and a travel cover makes it simple to take the snack cup on the go. It’s top rack dishwasher-safe too.See It
