Non-silicone · Dishwasher safe · Designed to work with doddl cutlery
Bowls & Plates
doddl plates and bowls are made from food-grade plastic — not silicone — so they never develop the soapy aftertaste that ruins most suction bowls after a few dishwasher cycles. Suction that actually stays. Plates with raised edges that help little hands scoop. A complete mealtime setup.
Baby plates and bowls that don't taste of washing up liquid.
Most suction bowls are made from silicone — which absorbs odours and develops a soapy taste after repeated dishwasher cleaning. doddl's suction bowl uses food-grade plastic for the bowl itself, with a separate silicone suction base. The result is a bowl that stays taste-neutral wash after wash, and suction strong enough that parents describe it as near-impossible for a toddler to remove from the highchair tray.
Why non-silicone makes a difference
The raised edge on doddl plates is a deliberate design feature — not a styling choice. It gives babies and toddlers a surface to scoop food against, reducing spills and supporting the development of independent self-feeding. Every piece is dishwasher safe, BPA-free, and designed to work alongside doddl cutlery as part of a complete mealtime setup.
Suction that actually stays
Suction bowls only work if the suction holds. doddl's suction base creates a firm seal on smooth highchair trays and flat surfaces. Parents who've tried other suction bowls describe the difference immediately — it doesn't lift. From bowls and plates through to cutlery cases and travel sets, everything in this collection is built to make mealtimes easier.
What parents say
★★★★★"Love this set — sticks very well to the table unlike some others we have bought. I also love that the plate/bowl isn't silicone so doesn't taste soapy after a run through the dishwasher. Would definitely buy again."
"These plates are exactly what I needed. The rubber grip stops the plate moving around on the high chair tray. Good raised edge to help with scooping and dishwasher friendly. Love them!"
"I have a very strong 9 month old who is yet to remove the suction bowl from the tray so I would say it's a winner. We bought the 2-pack so have one at nanny's and one at home for consistency."
