Why Stainless Steel is the Safest Choice for Baby Dinnerware in NZ & Australia

Stainless Steel is the Gold Standard in Hospitals and Kitchens… But When It Comes to Kids' Dinnerware?

We’ve all seen it - the trays in hospitals, the tools in operating rooms, the commercial-grade kitchens in restaurants. They all rely on one thing: stainless steel. And for good reason.

Stainless steel is known for being hygienic, durable and non-toxic - making it a trusted material in places where safety and cleanliness are non-negotiable. So if it’s good enough for surgeons and chefs, why isn’t it the standard for our kids plates and bowls?

Why Plastic and Melamine Baby Dinnerware Falls Short

Most children’s dinnerware on the market is made from plastic, silicone or melamine. While they may come in fun colours or cute characters, these materials can carry real concerns:

• Toxins like BPA and microplastics that may leach into food

• Odours and staining that build up over time

• Wear and tear that just doesn’t last

Feeding our little ones should feel safe, simple and stress-free, not full of compromises.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Baby Dinnerware

That’s why we chose stainless steel as the core of our children’s dinnerware range. It’s:
✅ Non-toxic and food-safe - no coatings or hidden chemicals
✅ Resilient and long-lasting - made to handle mealtime messes
✅ Naturally hygienic - easy to clean and bacteria-resistant
✅ Temperature stable - keeps food fresh without warping or overheating

It’s the same material trusted in medical and food-grade environments, now in a child friendly form.

The Gold Standard - With a Clever Twist

Here’s where we go one step further.

Unlike traditional stainless steel products, our dinnerware is designed with a soft, colourful outer silicone layer. It’s more than just good looks:

• Suction base helps keep the plate in place (yes, really)

• Cool to the touch - protects little hands from hot meals

• Easy-grip design for independent eating

• Colourful and fun - turning everyday meals into moments of joy

So you get the strength and safety of stainless steel plus the practicality and playfulness of silicone - the best of both worlds, working together.

Durable Baby Plates That Handle Real Life Messes

Kids drop things. A lot. Our dinnerware is designed to survive the chaos - no chips, no cracks, no compromises. It’s tough where it needs to be and soft where it matters most.

From Hospital Wards to Home Kitchens and Now the High Chair

At Ease Baby, we believe our children deserve better than the throwaway plastic and gimmicky gadgets. That’s why we’ve created a range that blends hospital-grade performance with parent-approved features - all in one thoughtful design.

Because when it comes to feeding your little one, you shouldn’t have to choose between function, fun and peace of mind.
