With research showing that mums buy on average 7 different baby cups until they find one they like*, Fisher-Price® introduces an innovative new feeding range designed to grow with a child every step of the way, while offering practical weaning solutions for parents.
Featuring baby cups that fit in pushchair and car cup holders because of special handles that move in and out, a 3 in 1 spout cup that grows with a baby, and bowls and plates that change colour to indicate that food is too hot to eat, the range brings exciting innovation to the market.
And what is mealtime without messy happy fun too? The bright and colourful, BPA free, and not to mention dishwasher friendly Fisher-Price range, not only makes mealtimes fun for babies, but helps make the whole weaning experience as stress-free as possible.
The range is available to buy exclusively at Boots from March 2014 and we were sent some items to test out with Sebastian.
We were sent the wrap around spoons, 1st sippy cup and heat senstive bowls to try.
I was immediately impressed. The bowls change from orange to yellow when the food is too hot. Now there is no more sticking my tongue in Sebastian’s food to check it is the right temperature and he couldn’t wait to get hold of the wrap around spoon.
He is too young to attempt to feed himself at the moment, but is happy to chew the spoons at the moment. When the time comes for him to try and feed himself I can make the spoons wrap loosely around his hand at the length which best suits him.
I am slowly introducing a drink at mealtimes, although he still prefers to breastfeed he will take a few sips of water if offered from his sippy cup.
Here is the full range:
Baby’s 1st Sippy Cup is the perfect product to help baby make the transition from bottle to cup.

I like the idea of the heat sensitive bowls and really like that snack pot!
My little ones aren’t quite so little now but heat sensitive bowls are a great idea for those just starting weaning.
This looks like a great range. I like the colours and that bendy spoon is a clever idea!
Some great products there. I especially like the look of the wrap rounds spoons and heat sensitive bowls x
Argh! The dreaded sippy cup. I bought several but the first one was the best but it leaks so badly! This looks like a lovely range and the design details show they have really thought about the needs of a modern family
Wraparound spoons?! This is Dragon’s Den stuff… 😉
Genius!
I can’t believe how much things have changed in just 9 years (since I had my last baby) these look great and bright and really sturdy 🙂
I like the look of the snack pot. At the moment I take out little bags of snacks but this would be easier x
All of these look Fab but particularly like the idea of the heat sensitive bowl!
I am loving these products. Wrap around spoon! Excellent.
Love the take along snacker.
What a brilliant idea the heat changing bowls are. And I love the bold primary colours too – really funky and fun!
These look very well thought out. Loving the chunky handles on the cutlery.
Loving the new range. I have far too many cups and plates in the cupboard but think I will have to get these too 🙂
Love the soft spoons, my baby is only two months but he will be using them in no time at all,I will bear this post in mind!
The spoons look fab!
These look fun and colourful. I still go through lots of cups, they don’t seem to last more than a couple of weeks.
What a great range Kara, look nice and sturdy too. We’ve got through a few beakers in the past as POD kept hurling them on the floor! Love the heat sensitive bowls and the bendy spoon especially 🙂
these look brill! Love anything Fisherprice do really! x
