OXO Tot Fork and Spoon Set

The design on these is great! My son is learning to eat with a fork and does really well with this set. We have others at home are so poorly made that even I have trouble getting his food on the fork!

They're also a great gender neutral color so that if our next one is a girl I can use them again.

MATERIALS: Packaging says BPA Free, PVC Free, Phthalate Free.

We've been using them for several weeks now with runs in the dish washer daily and they still look brand new. They're so well made that I think they'd last no matter how many kids we have! :)

The spoon is the best out there among all the different brands and style. My son would used to get really frustrated on trying to feed himself with a spoon until I got the OXO Tot one. It's hard enough for a toddler to start off trying to use a spoon, right? My son would just get mad, frustrated, and angry when food used to fall off of it and after awhile, he would just decide to use his hands again. But not with the OXO Tot spoon. The curves on the spoon are perfect for the little ones to keep the food on the spoon. Now he likes feeding himself with a spoon again. On the other hand, there are the same curves on the fork which was hard for my son to use. It was the total vice versa situation from the spoon. He would get mad, frustrated and angry that he couldn't really stab a piece of anything to get it to stay on. But then again, it night be that he has already master the use of forks and the curves on the OXO Tot fork really still is requires the scooping action vs. the straight down poking/stabbing action.

I purchased this utensil set almost a year ago and these are not really useable after the child is 16 months or so, depending on their fine motor skills. The spoon is a great shape and curved just right for making it easier to spoon the food in. But I have to take three stars off for not being able to use the fork at all. I know that a fork can't be as sharp as an adults, but the completely blunt ends make it impossible to stab any food. I pretty much threw away the fork because my child makes more of a mess trying to stab her food and it slipping off the plate than from her feeding herself. My husband calls it a weird and impractical version of a spork. You can have a sharper ended fork, if you are attentive to your child when they're eating. The silicone grip has changed color from several dishwashings. The plastic is just cheap and I can tell it will crack before I can use it on the next child. My favorite utensil set for my daughter, after having purchased several cheap and expensive brands has been the toddler utensil set from Ikea. Very inexpensive and is all metal. You dont have to worry about any plastic cracking at the seams over longtime use and dishwashing. The fork is just right for stabbing food but not dangerous and the spoon is a perfect shape for getting just the right amount of food for a toddler. I love it so much that I bought three more sets.

We got these as a gift and our 15 month old who is an extremely fussy eater loves to feed himself with them. They are so ergonomically correct that even with soup he manages not to spill the liquid everywhere. Our 3.5 year old finds them great to use as well. Highly recommend them.

As a first-time parent, I often make the incorrect assumption that many products for kids are created equal. This is one case where i was pretty wrong.

It is easy for us to take for granted something as simple as a spoon. You scoop up food, transport food to your mouth, rinse, repeat. Easy, right? Not for a 1 or a 2 year-old.

This simple sequence of moves takes a pretty good understanding of how gravity works, how to get food on the utensil, the coordination required to get said food somewhat near your mouth, and the patience to try again when you fail. My daughter had none of this and eating with anything other than her fingers was a frustrating experience for her and us alike.

We had been gifted a number of utensils including the ubiquitous Ikea plastic utensils as well as some pricier and more elegant forks and spoons. Here are some of the problems we encountered, that the OXO set fixed:

* The utensil was too long: My 2-year-old has the coordination of a drunk using their opposite hand. The longer the utensil, the more food ended up on the floor instead of her mouth, so she gave up trying. The OXO set is short which helps her get nom noms to their intended destination.

* The tines on the fork are useless: Many plastic utensils have this problem. Now, a 1 or a 2 year old will probably scoop rather than jab at their food, but it is nice to have the option. The OXO fork is actually more of a spork so it works well in either case.

* The bowl of the spoon is too small: Maybe we were using spoons intended for infants, but there are a lot of spoons out there that don't maximize the shape of their scoop. Too shallow, all the food falls out. Too deep, and its hard to use. Too small and it is not worth the effort required. The OXO spoon seems just right. Maybe they researched and tested this, or maybe they just got lucky, but we don't care either way.

* The handles shape is wrong: This one is a bit tough to describe but unless your munchkin positions the fork just right in their hand, it just wont work right. I think the shape of this set helps her get it right the first time with her monkey grip.

The build quality and materials seem solid, so you should be able to use these over time as your family grows.
