This is a great bowl for baby (& MOM)! We are in the stage right now where my little one tries to pull everything off the table during meals... but not anymore! The suction on this bowl is great and it stays put very securely without being too tough to take off when meal time is done. OKAY though - the real selling point on this bowl is the lid. You put it on the bowl, give it a little push down to seal the edges and whatever you have inside isn't going ANYWHERE! It has tipped over several times in my purse or in the stroller bottom with purees inside and not a drop has spilled. A MUST for moms!
