Babies are cute and all -- love those tiny fingernails! -- but they make lousy dinner companions. You buy them a special chair to sit in, you give them lump-free food carefully selected for deliciousness and vitamin content, and do they appreciate it" No! They're as likely to fling your in-season salt-free puréed spinach back in your face as to eat it.
But baby product makers are catching up to the need to de-stressinate family meals, introducing smartly designed new tableware and feeding products. Here, I review the ezpz Happy Mat, the Béaba 360° Spoon, and the Original Squeeze Company's Sili Squeeze.
If you watch Shark Tank, you may have heard of the ezpz, which got a lot of attention back in January when founder Lindsey Laurain turned down an investment deal. Money, schmoney, the mat works great, and mess-hating parents will appreciate it.
And though I didn't mention this in the video, reusable squeeze pouches like the Sili Squeeze should be on your radar for one major reason: You can't recycle food pouches. If watching your trash can fill with non-recyclables stresses you out, reusable pouches can help.
