Development benefits

Supports the transition from suction plate to standard plate at your child's own pace.

• Wide, flat surface and raised back promote successful scooping, developing handeye coordination and dexterity
• Unsectioned design encourages a positive, relaxed relationship with food — particularly important for children with sensory sensitivities
• Front lip and raised back maximise self-feeding success, reducing frustration and building confidence at mealtimes
• Reduces mess as children develop the motor skills needed for independent eating

How it works

The Suction Rim
The strong suction ring holds the plate completely immovable on the table or highchair tray during mealtimes. A simple release tab makes it easy for parents to lift when needed — giving you full control without mess or disrupting your child's focus.

The 2-in-1 Design
When your child is consistently eating without trying to pull the plate away — typically around 18 months to 2 years (every child develops in their own time) — simply remove the suction ring to reveal the non-slip base underneath. One plate takes your child from early weaning right through to confident independent eating — no need to buy separate plates at each stage. The most versatile and long-lasting toddler plate available.

The Shape
Wide and flat, the plate gives children easy access to food with cutlery. The gently raised back keeps food on the plate and offers a natural surface to push food against as children
learn to scoop. The front lip stops food from falling off the edge as coordination develops — fewer dropped meals, more success.

Not Sectioned
The doddl plate is purposefully designed without sections, so all foods sit together just like a grown-up plate. This supports a more relaxed relationship with food from the very start.

The Splat
A central splat graphic draws your child's eye to the middle of the plate, encouraging them to focus their attention — their food and cutlery — in the right place.

To ensure strong suction: As for all suction products, use on a smooth, clean, flat surface.

To reattach suction: Turn the plate over, simply pinch the suction rim and plate base together and run your thumb around the underside of the suction.

Product details

A plate that stays still, shaped to make eating easier — designed for children at every stage of their feeding journey.

The doddl 2-in-1 suction plate locks firmly to any smooth flat surface, removing the movement that can make mealtimes so difficult for children with motor challenges, sensory sensitivities or limited control. The wide, unsectioned surface and raized back guide food naturally onto utensils, reducing the precision needed for each attempt.

Why families supporting children with additional needs choose the doddl suction plate:

Strong suction means the plate won't move, even with involuntary movements
Wide, flat shape requires less precision — more food stays on, more attempts succeed
Purposefully unsectioned — avoids triggering food rigidity and sensory issues around food separation
Central splat supports attention and focus during mealtimes
Suction removes when your child is ready — no timeline, no pressure

I've been absolutely loving using the doddl cutlery set with my family. It's really helped my daughter to hone her skills around self-feeding with a spoon and fork.

As a pediatric feeding therapist, the doddl toddler spoon, fork and knife set is one I recommend for 12 months and up. The stainless steel fork prongs help little ones poke food successfully, the ergonomic handles encourage a proper grip, and the spoon's tapered bowl suits little mouths while holding purees and soups.

“doddl cutlery is perfectly designed for a toddler’s hand and the short handle means it’s easier to control. But the best bit for me are the metal heads which make it easy for baby to scoop and fork food compared to chunky plastic heads which can be frustrating for young ones. One of my recommended weaning essentials!”
