Bambu 5-Inch Baby's Utensils, Set of 4, Natural

This fork and spoon set used to be just great. 5 stars all the way. Unfortunately the company didn't have the guts to raise the price directly, so instead they've cut costs by making 'em much thinner and much thinner thereby increasing their profits-'cuz they charge the same amount! If I'd known I certainly wouldn't have bought 'em.

I would not recommend this product. It splintered after one use, not exactly a safe product for a toddler. In addition, the tines of the fork are far too sharp. It's a shame but I would stay away form this product.

These products are fabulous! We got a set of two forks and spoons and used them over the course of our two little ones early eating months. Now they've graduated to metal, but for the first year of feeding, these are wonderful! They did splinter after a couple of years, and then we tossed them into the compost.

To summarize:

Nice spoons. Useless forks. Use wood conditioner to make them last.

The rest:

I ordered this Bambu set (2 spoons, 2 forks) on Amazon 3 years ago for my first child. I've used them for 2 children so far. I wanted something softer than stainless steel that didn't involve plastic. The spoons were great for most things, but the forks are pretty much useless...they won't pierce anything and so we hardly ever used the forks.

After constant use, the spoons did get rough and sharp around the edges although they didn't totally splinter. To prolong their life, I occasionally buffed them with a generic food-grade wood conditioner that I use on my wooden cutting boards. The more frequently you use the conditioner, the more it helps smooth out the roughness. Bambu makes a wood conditioner called Bamboo Goo (Bambu Bamboo Goo 8-Ounce Nourishing Oil, Natural) that you can use on these utensils, but any food-grade wood/bamboo conditioner should work.

The spoons also occasionally served as teething toys when the kids were sprouting teeth. Now that both children are using stainless steel utensils, these Bambu spoons and forks have become part of their play kitchen toys.

All in all a nice purchase although I would recommend only the spoons and not the forks.

The spoon of this set is perfect for little onesnot too much volume in the payload area, and a good shape. I haven't tried the fork, but it seems like it would be able to spear or pierce soft foods (cooked veggies like potato, pumpkin, etc) but I don't know about harder foods like a veggie with a membrane or meat. The handles are curved and seem to be a good shape for little hands, and don't seem flimsy. They are meant to be handwashed, so those who say they splinter may be treating them roughlymine are ok after months.
