Birthday Bash Event: Baby Diner Review and Giveaway

Let's get this Birthday Bash off to a great start!!! This month I will feature great presents, decorations, treats, and party supplies that would be perfect for and child's birthday party! I am starting today with a great gift idea - the Baby Diner! Plus, there will be TWO great winners of the giveaway to kick off this fun birthday event so read on and enter to win your very own Baby Diner!

I have one of those children that will destroy everything in their path! :) This includes their food, plates, forks, spoons, etc! So when I saw the Baby Diner, I knew this would be perfect for my son for mealtime!

The Lil' Diner Plate Saver was invented by a father who was frustrated with the restaurant experience since becoming a parent. Once Jesse Jr. became old enough to eat at the table, dad realized that this meant choosing between: A) feeding Jr. off a clean restaurant plate that he would most likely throw to the ground; B) feeding Jr. off the dirty restaurant table after trying in vain to wipe it with a baby wipe; or C) relying on store bought solutions which all entailed regular washings with soap and water after every use. The father set about creating a fourth option; a tool that would allow a child to eat off of a regular smooth bottom sided plate or bowl from any restaurant without the worry of it falling to the floor and assurance of a sanitary dining experience for his little one!

The Baby Diner is a device that attaches to any smooth table top or structure and allows a parent or guardian to secure a plate, bowl or any other dinnerware to prevent accidentally knocking or throwing of plates, bowls and even cups (with the cup holder attachment) on the floor by young children, persons with special needs or outdoor enthusiasts. It also provides a safe and sanitary eating environment when dining out. Baby Diner works great with all standard restaurant bowls, plates and baskets of all types. Practically anything that has a smooth and non-porous bottom works!

My Opinion

I really like the idea of the Baby Diner! I can actually give my son food on a plate and not have him throw the plate across the room? I am sold!! :) I love that it eliminates the mess on the high chair too because it all stays right on a plate that I can just throw in the dishwasher!

Unfortunately, it didn't work so well for me...:( I don't know if it just the kind of dishes we use (I did try several types though) or just the age my son is at or maybe it is just his pure strength, but the dish did not last very long on the suction cup!

The bottom suction cups worked great and I could barely get it off when I wanted to, but the suction cup that stuck to the actual dish was not able to withstand my son every time.

I am hoping this will work better when he is older and isn't quite as destructive! :)

I recommend the Baby Diner for all children that may not be quite as destructive as my son and are ready to eat off a plate gently! I love the idea of the Baby Diner and I hope someday to use it!
