Bibado - Dippit Baby Spoon and Dipper, Mint & Blue (2-Pack): A Gentle Start to Self-Feeding
Product description
What it is
The Bibado Dippit set combines a soft, chewable dipper with a deep spoon designed for early self-feeding. Sold as a 2-pack in Mint & Blue, these utensils are built to be grasped by little hands and used with bibs that support a practical, close-by feeding routine. The aim is to help babies progress towards independent eating with a two-hand, sensory-friendly grip.
Who it’s for
If you’re navigating the weaning stage and want to encourage practice with utensils without constant dropping, this pair is pitched at 6 months plus and is intended for toddlers learning to bring food from plate to mouth. It’s suitable for households looking for a practical, low-friction transition from spoon to self-sufficient feeding.
How it helps in daily use
On the page, the set is positioned as easy for little hands to hold, with a two-hand design that supports early motor skills. The deep spoon shape is described as making scooping easier, while the chewable, soft dipper can help when teething or when a firmer grip is needed in wet or messy conditions. The idea is repetition and practice to speed up the learning curve, especially when meals involve self-feeding and a messy environment is a given.
What stands out
- Ergonomic, child-friendly grip intended to support early self-feeding without constant supervision.
- Deep spoon contour designed to aid picking up food from the plate, reducing the number of dropped mouthfuls.
- Soft, chewable dipper element intended for teething comfort and sensory exploration.
- Pack includes two colourways (Mint & Blue), offering visual variety for babies and a practical two-pack choice.
What might not convince you
The description focuses on concept and user experience rather than concrete performance metrics. If you prioritise a very strict assessment of bite strength, bite resistance, or long-term durability under heavy chews, you might want more information. Also, the value of the two-pack hinges on how quickly the set becomes a regular part of meals rather than a novelty.
Ideal use scenarios
- Everyday weaning routines where you want to encourage independent feeding without constant mum or dad assistance.
- Messy kitchen sessions where a close-by utensil that sticks to a bib would be helpful.
- Gentle teething phases where a soft chewable element could provide relief while practising handling.
When to consider alternatives
If your priority is ultra-durable metal cutlery or utensils designed for older toddlers with more refined motor control, this set may feel limited. Similarly, if you’re after heavy-duty plastics or options with more extensive dishwasher compatibility, you might weigh other designs.
What to check before buying
- Confirm that the bite and grip feel comfortable for your child’s current hand size and chewing stage.
- Consider how the pair fits with your existing Bibado bibs or similar feeding accessories if you own multiple items.
- Think about how you’ll integrate use into your daily routine and whether a two-pack meets your family’s needs or if a single, brighter design would be enough.
How it compares to the broader feeding approach
This set sits in the mid-field of beginner utensils: it prioritises ease of use and repetition over advanced manipulation or professional-grade materials. If you’re weighing it against more rigid, traditional cutlery or more elaborate weaning sets, this option leans towards practicality and a gentle introduction to self-feeding rather than long-term high-performance use.
Decision and recommended user profile
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you’re prioritising ease of use, sensory-friendly features, and a two-colour pack to keep mealtimes varied and engaging.
Final verdict
A sensible option for families focusing on early self-feeding and teething comfort, with the caveat that it’s not aimed at heavy-duty or long-term durability testing.
FAQ
- Will these utensils fit small baby hands? In practice they’re described as designed for little hands, but comfort will depend on your child’s grip size and coordination.
- Can I use them with hot or very sticky foods? The description doesn’t specify heat resistance or dishwasher compatibility, so exercise standard washing practices and avoid high heat if in doubt.
- How many meals before we need replacements? There’s no stated lifespan, regular use and wear will determine when the utensils feel less effective for scooping or gripping.
