We're big fans of this adorable tableware range from Nuby. It has a really unique design, perfect for stopping food from slipping off the edge of plates and giving your little one a good handle to grip onto.

Awards
The Nuby Good Square Meal Tableware Set won Silver for Best Toddler (12 months+) Food Range/ Product in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025. It truly is a fantastic range, offering a cohesive design and a durable construction that will last for many years. Everything is perfectly designed for little hands, and we love the bright colours on offer! Our Mother&Baby testers used the full range in their own homes - read on to find out what they had to say about it after their little ones tried it out.
Testing
Our testers were delighted with the durability of the set, especially when it came to how easy it was to clean. One tester pointed out that "they wash well and don't lose their colour, and have been very sturdy when put through the dishwasher." Another told us that "they seem long-lasting and durable and do exactly what you need them to. The product is super easy to clean and store ready for its next use."
A particular favourite of our testers and their little ones were the tumblers. "My daughter is 2 and she can use them very well," said one mother, continuing to say that "the cups are perfect for her learning to drink out of an open cup." Another told us that "The cups are a really nice size and shape for small hands to hold - my son now likes to wander the room holding his cup of water one-handed!"
The size was also called out as a high point. "These products are easy to store, as they are very neat and not bulky, therefore they don't take up much space in the cupboards," said one tester. "We use the tubs all the time for snacks and meals on the go. There is 3 different sizes to choose from and they easily close/open," revealed another mother.
"The square plates with steep sides were good for scooping actions," came one comment on the design of the weaning plates. "The bowls and plates also stack neatly," chimed in another mother, going on to say that "both my little ones use the plates and bowls with ease, and the plates having a little lip means that food does not slide off the edge of the plate when they scoop it up."
Final verdict
Overall, our testers loved using this set with their kids. It's super versatile, and they really appreciated the bright, yet gender neutral colours. The sloped sides and lipped plates were really helpful, and helped to keep things clean in the home, but the set is also handy when on the go. All in all, it's a fantastic pick for you and your baby to use at mealtimes.
