We bought these for our twin girls and couldn't be happier. They are great for storing/transporting food. We have stored very liquidy foods such as applesauce and have never had them leak ever. We use these to feed our kids out of daily for every meal (we use them with the OXO spoons) and we also take them on the go for meals on the run. The bowls are durable and have survived numerous drops and the lids always stay tightly attached even with falls. I was a bit worried about the white plastic in terms of discoloration, but they have maintained their whiteness and resisted staining from everything --mashed up carrots, tomatoes, even blueberries.Bought these bowls in each of the three colors and love them!! They come in very handy for storing snacks, eating cereal out of and bringing along for travel snacks. My toddler loves having breakfast in them and I love how it helps him be independent. Only one concern, two of the lids do no longer fit the belonging bowls but the other once are ok. The two lids one green and one blue both for small bowls are to tight to put on the bowl. Once you force them on they pop of by them selves.I have owned these bowls for awhile. I don't really use them a whole lot but the other day I was heating up some black beans in the microwave and within 5 seconds the bowl started sparking! I quickly shut the microwave off and the off gas smell was horrible. I threw the bowl and the beans away. These bowls are NOT microwave safe. They state in the description that they are, but they are NOT. This just reaffirms why I never put plastics in the microwave. Don't know why I decided to do it this time.I have three sets of these bowls, two red and one blue. I love these bowls more than the Tommee Tippee set that I have. They are weighted so the don't knock over as easily and the lids fit well on mine though others mentioned a problem with this. I only handwash mine which helps keep the shape and prevents the plastic from wearing earlier than it should. I love the silicone on the bottom as it grips the table nicely to keep the bowls from sliding all over. Many reviewers say they are small but I would like to point out these are for toddlers, who should eat about 1/3 of a regular adult serving size, so the size is very appropriate.So much better than the take'n'toss bowls. These are sturdy and wash up so well. I love that they come out of the dishwasher dry because they don't have all the little areas to trap water like other bowls. Definitely worth spending a little more money for these!
