Properly preparing baby's meals goes beyond what's on the plate

Baby's diet isn't just about food: the choice of tableware, utensils, and bibs plays a key role in discovering tastes, textures, and developing independence at the table. On Kangourou Univers, you'll find accessories designed to make mealtimes simpler, safer, and more enjoyable for both little ones and parents.

Essentials for baby meals

To support your baby in their first meals, certain accessories are particularly useful:

• Adapted plates and bowls: often non-slip or with suction cups to stay firmly in place on the table or high chair.
• Baby spoons: with soft tips, suitable for small mouths and sensitive gums.
• Training cups: with handles, spouts, or straws, to encourage the baby to drink independently.
• Bibs: made of fabric or silicone, sometimes with a crumb catcher, to minimize mess and keep clothes clean.
• Complete meal sets: including coordinated plate, bowl, cup, and cutlery for a harmonious and practical mealtime.

These accessories are not only practical: they also help create a reassuring meal ritual for the baby, with visual and sensory cues that return each day.

How to choose baby tableware and utensils

• Safety first: choose child-friendly materials, free from controversial substances, and easy to clean.
• Ergonomics: easy-to-grasp handles, shapes adapted to small hands and still-clumsy movements.
• Stability: plates and bowls that don't slip, to prevent them from tipping over at the slightest movement.
• Playful design: soft colors or fun patterns can encourage the baby to be more interested in mealtime.

By choosing suitable accessories, you facilitate your child's progressive autonomy: they learn to hold their spoon, drink independently, and explore foods with more confidence.
